PIDGIN BY-PRODUCT!
Matthew 6:30 “ut make una first do di good tins wey God wont and evry oda tin go bi una own.
By-product na something wey
dem dey get for process, like when pesin dey make something, e go get another
thing wey just come out for corner, wey no really be wetin dem dey find, but e
fit still get use.
For Bible, by-product na the
result wey God fit give pesin when you dey put faith, obey am, and focus on
spiritual things. Instead make pesin dey run after blessing or reward directly,
Bible talk say make we find God first—na so blessing and beta beta things go
show as by-product. For Bible side, by-product na wetin dey happen natural when
you do one main correct thing, even if no be wetin you dey find for beginning.
For life, many times, we dey
run after result—like success, peace of mind, money, or make people sabi us.
But for God kingdom, all these blessing no be the main thing—na by-product wey
you go get when you pursue to know and obey God well. Wetin carry Jesus come na
to save people. But as people dey accept this salvation, many better things go
follow.
Most times, reward dey come
as by-product of wetin we focus on. If you put eye for wetin be the main
thing—for example, put your relationship with God before anything—good
by-product go dey show for every area of your life.
Hebrews 6:9 talk about
"things wey dey follow salvation," that one mean good work, better
relationship, and change inside your life fit be by-product of real faith.
By-product no always be main
goal, but na extra wey dey come from other things wey we dey do or plan. Na so
God run am for nature, make e dey produce more and make things last pass as e
for last. Almost everything for life na by-product of one thing or another.
For example, for farm work,
by-products na those thing wey no be main thing dem dey plant or rear, like
chaff, husk, stem, shell, or the part of plant wey people no dey chop. Dem fit
use these one do another thing.
Isaiah 32:17 talk say when
you live right, peace go be your by-product: “The fruit of righteousness go be
peace; the effect of righteousness na quietness and confidence forever.”
Everything wey pesin dey do
get by-product. As Galatians 6:7 talk, na wetin you sow, you go reap. Some
wahala and gbege we dey face today, na by-product of wetin we do yesterday.
God promise for Deuteronomy
28:1-14 say blessing go follow us if we obey am. We go get blessing for health,
family, work, and land if we waka according to how God talk am.
Wisdom dey important
according to Proverbs 4:7, and wisdom fit bring long life and peace as Proverbs
3:16-17 talk am. So, make you find wisdom—e dey come with plenty by-product.
Sin dey produce death, na so
Romans 6:23 talk: “the wages of sin na death...” That one mean spiritual death
and separation from God dey follow when person dey do wetin no good, but the
way Christ die for cross and rise again na gift from God wey bring eternal
life.
Nobody like to suffer, but
Bible talk say suffering dey build better character, as Romans 5:3–4 talk:
“Suffering dey bring patience; patience dey bring character; and character dey
bring hope.”
Jesus for John 15:5 talk say
if you remain for am, you go bear plenty fruit—fruitfulness be by-product of if
you dey close to Christ. This fruit mean things like love, joy, peace—no be
because you dey chase am, but e go just dey follow relationship with God.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
- Wetin you dey pursue
now—God himself or the by-product of living for God?
- You get area wey you don
dey vex, no sabi say the blessing wey you dey find dey come as result of deeper
obedience?
- How you fit shift your
focus from blessing to make am more about your relationship with God?
PRAYER: Papa God, help me to
dey seek you pass everything. Teach me to trust you, obey you, and waka close
with you—not because of wetin I fit get from you, but because you deserve am.
Make the good result of my life dey come natural as my heart dey root inside you.
In Jesus name, amen.
