PIDGIN HOW LONG LORD?

Habakkuk 1:1-17 “Dis na di message wey God give Profet Habakkuk: Habakkuk Komplain To God 2 Oga God, e don tey wen I dey kry make Yu kom help mi, but Yu nor gri ansa! I kry sey, “Trobol dey evriwhere!” But Yu nor still gri kom save mi. 3 Why Yu allow mi dey face dis kind trobol? Must I si all dis wahala wey dey happen to mi? Anywhere wey I look, na only wahala and distroshon I dey si. Na pipol wey love to kworel and fight, dey round mi. 4Bikos of dis, di law dey weak and yuzles and doz wey dey judge, nor dey judge well at-all. Wiked men dey opress good pipol; dem don turn betta judgement up-side-down. God Ansa 5 God ansa, “Make yu look di nashons well and wetin yu go si, go sopraiz yu! I go do sometin naw wey yu still dey alive and even wen pesin tell yu, yu nor go bilive. 6I won give Babilon pipol pawa; doz wiked pipol wey nor dey sorry for odas. Dem go mash round di world kon seize all di oda nashons. 7 Pipol dey fear dem well-well and dem dey do wetin dem like. 8 Dia horse fast pass leopard and e wiked pass wolf for desert. Dia men dey ride di horse kom; dem bi like eagle wey dey rush go kill en enemy. 9 All of dem dey kom with wahala; dey rush dey kom like breeze for desert and dem go gada di pipol wey dem katch like sey dem dey gada san. 10 Dem dey ponish kings and use dia leaders make yeye. Dem dey laf all dia strong-strong towns. Dem dey kover towns with san-san kon seize dem. 11 Dem dey pass like breeze wey dey blow. But dem really dey guilty, bikos dem bilive sey, na dia pawa as dia god.” Habakkuk Komplain Again 12 My Oga God, di Pesin wey dey holy, Yu wey dey since and go always dey. Oga God wey bi awa Rock, Yu nor dey plan to kill us finish, Yu only send Babilon pipol to kom korrect and ponish us bikos of awa sin. 13 Yor eyes too dey holy to si bad tins and Yu nor dey like si pipol wey dey do wiked tins. So wetin make Yu dey sorry for dem? Wetin make Yu kwayet wen wiked pipol dey distroy pipol wey good pass dem? 14 Yu dey trit pipol like fish for sea

or like animal for wota wey nor get who dey kontrol dem. 15 Babilon pipol dey hook and katch pipol like fish kon karry dem go for net as dem dey happy bikos of wetin dem katch. 16 Dem even dey woship and offa sakrifice give dia net kon dey sey, “Na dis net bi di god wey make us get money well-well!” 17 Yu go allow dem ponish pipol forever? Dem go dey distroy nashons forever?

 

Sometimes e dey be like say God don forget us or abandon us, but for Deuteronomy 31:6b, God promise say e no go ever leave us, e no go forget us too. But sometimes e go still be like say God no dey answer, we go dey ask like David for Psalm 13:1: “HOW LONG OH LORD?” Me sef, I know how many times I don cry that kain question give God. Habakkuk too feel am for him own time, just like we dey feel am today. When God no quick deliver us or help us comot for wahala, we dey think say God don forget us.

Everyday we dey see things wey fit make us ask, “Where God dey?” “Why e no dey do anything?” Habakkuk sef wait for God answer with tears, just like many of us dey wait every day, dey wonder why God never answer.

Everybody dey ask, “How long, Lord?” Both Christian and people wey no believe. This question full for Psalms, even Psalm 88, wey start and end for darkness, still dey call God wey dey save us. Many believers don cry give God like this before. If na so you dey feel, no worry, you no dey alone. You dey with other believers wey don pass through am and still dey wait for God.

Today, e be like say bad people and evil dey prosper, but no be because God no care—e care well well. God always get plan, but e want make we join am for prayer—make we no stop to pray no matter how e be or how long e take. Make you pour your mind give God for prayer.

Habakkuk know say e must continue to pray, no matter how delay, distraction or wahala reach am.

We too suppose persevere for any situation wey we dey face now, even if e be like say we dey alone or say God don forget us. God never forget us and e no go ever forget. E want make we trust am and wait for him time, plus make we learn the lesson wey dey for the waiting time.

We need God help to get strong faith, make we no tire to dey pray, even if e be like say answer never come. Sometimes, e dey okay to get small doubt, Habakkuk sef get doubt. Sometimes e dey be like say God no dey do anything, but na lie—God dey always work, as John 5:17 talk.

Make we hold God word, no let discouragement enter us for this waiting period, and make we continue to dey pray.

Make we reason like Habakkuk—if everything wey normal for life scatter, we go still dey rejoice.

Peter talk for 2 Peter 3:9 say God no dey slow to do wetin e promise. Sometimes e go clear say our own time dey different from God own. We dey count minutes, but God dey count years and years, as 2 Peter 3:8 talk.

God know say e dey always look slow for our eye because we dey used to quick-quick things, but e still assure us for him word and him love, even when e dey like say e dey take.

Sometimes e go be like say God don forget us or e dey hide from us. But God know say as e dey work him plan, we go pass through tough times wey go make us cry. But God give us story like Abraham and Sarah to show say we no dey alone. Psalm 13 start with, “How long, O Lord? You go forget me forever? How long you go hide your face from me?” Good news be say, God no dey hide from you, e no dey delay on purpose, e no dey ignore your cry.

No matter how long e take, hold on, wait, calm down, and continue to dey pray.

PRAYER: Baba God, thank you say you talk say you no go ever forget, abandon or ignore me. Make I fit trust you, wait for you, and make you carry me pass every storm in 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. ...
