PIDGIN HAVE FUN!

Romans 14:17-19 “Bikos God kingdom nor bi food and drink matter, but na about raitiousness, peace and joy wey di Holy Spirit dey give pipol. 18. If yu serve Christ like dis, God go dey happy with yu and pipol go respet yu. 19. So, make wi live for peace, den wi go help each oda grow as dem dey serve God.

 

I honestly no sabi how this mata start say; Christianity na bore or sey Christians no suppose get fun as dem dey follow Christ. E be like say e don become law say once you receive salvation, you no fit laugh again, no fit get fun or enjoy yourself. Where e come from?

Joy and fun, as God plan am, na important part of celebration because dem dey lift our spirit and help us see the beauty and meaning for life. To get fun and enjoy life na part of God good plan for us, if e dey happen with gratitude, joy, and in line with him plan.

We sabi person or na you wey fun to dey around, full of cheer, laughter and cheeky (but no bad way) before salvation but as you or dem born again, e be like say dem light bulb wey dey for fun don off. Dem comot to dey laugh, dem stop to dey enjoy and basically dem no dey enjoy the things God give dem to enjoy again.

No be everything for life suppose serious for e go dey important or spiritual.

The Lord our God get sense of humor, if no be so, e no for add am to our being. E hard to read Bible no see anything wey fit make you laugh, bring joy and fun. God sense of humor show for some Bible story like the story wey Balaam donkey talk inside Numbers 22 or Elijah wey dey mock the prophets of Baal for 1 Kings 18. All these show sey God get joke power and irony.

We fit live holy life and still dey have fun. God no dey check whether we sober or happy, na how quick we obey am e dey check as holiness.

Joy and celebration na God gift, see Ecclesiastes 3:12-13, “I know sey nothing good pass for person to dey happy and do good for as dem dey live. Make dem chop, drink and enjoy the work wey dem do—this na God gift.” Psalm 126:2 talk say “our mouth full of laughter, our tongue full of joy song.” This one show say to enjoy life no be bad thing, na gift from God we suppose cherish.

Too much wahala, pain, heartbreak and sadness dey for world make us dey intentionally stop ourselves from laugh small. Bible still talk say laughter good for health and wellbeing like Proverbs 17:22: "Joyful heart be good medicine but depressed spirit dey dry the bone." Proverbs 15:13: "Glad heart dey make your face shine but if heart get sorrow your spirit go weak." And Proverbs 3:7-8: "E go heal your body and make your bone fresh again."

This one clear show say laughter and joy good for our body and mind.

Ecclesiastes 9:7 talk make we enjoy simple things like meal and fellowship, say na blessing from God. We fit get fun with friends, family and colleagues by to sit down for meal with good, clean and wholesome talk, discussion and joke.

Psalm 118:24 command clear. “Rejoice and be glad for the day God make; this day na God day, make we rejoice and be glad.” Joy and gladness na correct way to take respond to life no be only to show spirituality.

Even Jesus get fun and fellowship. He spend time for meals, weddings and gatherings. His first miracle na for wedding for Cana for John 2, where e turn water to wine—to make celebration continue.

Make you stop to take everything too serious. Stop to criticize those wey dey get godly fun. Let your hair down and try to get fun, you no go know maybe you go enjoy am.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS 

- Wetin fun mean to me and how I dey usually get am? 

- I dey make time for rest, celebrate, and thank God like e talk? 

- The way I dey enjoy sef dey follow my faith and values? 

- Which simple God-honouring ways fit I use enjoy life more this week?

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the gift of life, joy and for creating laughter, music, beauty, and celebration. You put joy for our heart as reflection of Your goodness. Help me to enjoy the moments of fun and rest as holy, knowing sey You dey with me for both quiet and joyful noise. For Jesus name, amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
