PIDGIN TWISTED TRUTH!
Jeremiah 10:10–16 “But na only Yu Oga, bi di true God. Di God wey dey alive and Yu go rule forever. Anytime Yu dey vex, di world dey shake and nobody fit stand wen Yu dey vex. 11 So Israel pipol make una tell di oda nashons sey: ‘Nor bi doz gods make di heavens and di eart. So dem go disappear komot from di eart and heavens.’ 12a God make di eart with en pawa; na-im wisdom and undastandin E take kreate di heavens and eart. 13 Wen E kommand, en vois dey sound like tonda and di wota for heaven go make nois like lion vois. E dey make kloud kom out from where di eart for end. E dey bring tonda lite wen rain dey fall and E dey make breeze blow kom from where E keep dem put.
14 All dis bad tins kon turn
di pipol to fool and dem nor get sense again. So, disgrace go follow doz wey
dey make juju, bikos di juju na lie-lie and dem nor get life at-all.
15 Di juju dey yuzles, so
make dem distroy dem trowey and time dey kom wen God go ponish and distroy all
of dem. 16 Jakob God nor bi like dem; na-im kreate evritin
and E don choose Israel as
en own pipol. En name na God wey dey mighty.”
Bible talk say truth dey
very important for God own nature and for we wey dey follow am. E teach say God
na true God, e word na truth, and to live for truth na calling and way wey fit
set person free.
But for this our world
today, people dey see truth anyhow—dem dey twist am to suit dia own story. Some
dey talk say truth get colour, tribe or country, and wetin be truth for one
person, fit no be truth for another. But for Romans 3:4, Bible talk say: “Make
God dey true and every human being be liar.” Even with this, many people still
dey try use God word anyhow take do wetin dem like. But John 17:17 talk say:
“Make you use truth take make dem holy. Your word na truth.” God word no just
dey true—E be Truth wey no dey change.
Truth na wetin gree with
wetin God talk, e real, e sure, e dey like God nature. Bible dey give us not
just knowledge about truth but how make we live the truth. But some people don
dey twist Bible to collect gain for demself, forget say 2 Peter 1:20–21 warn
say no prophecy for Bible come from person own private interpretation.
Some dey talk say dem sabi
when Jesus go come back. For example, Daniel 8:14 talk about “2,300 evening and
morning”—na talk about cleansing the temple, no be about Jesus second coming. William
Miller come use am say Jesus go return 1843/1844. E no happen, plenty people
come disappointed. This na example of how people dey misinterpret prophecy.
God dey help those wey help
demself—people dey talk am as if na Bible talk am. E no dey Bible! Bible talk
say God dey help people wey no fit help demself as Romans 5:6, Psalm 121:1–2
talk. God no dey give us salvation or grace because of our power; na free gift.
Another wahala na say, “Sow
seed make you get miracle!” Some dey talk say if you give money to God,
blessing sure for you. Bible talk say make we dey generous according to 2
Corinthians 9:6–8, but God blessings no dey for sale. This kain teaching dey
mislead people and e no dey represent God character well.
God na love so e no fit
judge people!” People go say. But dat one no balance. Bible talk say God na
love for 1 John 4:8, but e dey holy and just for Romans 2:5–6. Love and justice
dey together for God side.
Touch not my anointed” for Psalm
105:15—people dey use am shut up people wey question pastor or church leader.
But the verse na for Abraham and the patriarchs, no be for today pastor.
Leaders suppose get respect, but dat no mean dem no go answer if dem do anyhow for
1 Timothy 5:19–20.
All road lead to God!” Some
people dey talk am. Bible no talk so. Jesus talk for John 14:6: “Na me be the
way, the truth, and the life. Nobody fit meet Papa God except through me.” Only
one way dey—na through Jesus.
For John 9:2, disciples ask
Jesus if na this man or e papa/mama sin make e born blind. Some people dey
twist am say na as e sin for previous life—like reincarnation. But na old
Jewish belief say pikin fit sin for belle, no be say person get past life.
Bible teach say na resurrection dey, no be reincarnation.
2 Corinthians 12:2—some
people use am talk about astral projection. But Paul dey talk vision wey God
show am, no be say e waka leave body go anywhere by imself. Na God do am, no be
mystical practice. Bible no teach astral projection.
As Bible talk for John 8:32:
“You go know the truth, and the truth go set you free.”
But na the truth wey you
know by yourself na im go free you—no be another person own version.
Like the Bereans for Acts
17:11, make we dey read Bible everyday to check if wetin we hear na so e be. We
suppose study, use sense test any talk, and live the truth—not to bend am do
wetin we like.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
- Which Bible verse you or
people for your side don misunderstand or twist call am truth?
- You don check those
beliefs well-well with the whole Bible?
- You dey ready to unlearn
bad teaching if you see true Bible truth?
PRAYER: Baba God, abeg help
me love truth, search truth, and live truth. Forgive me for time wey I twist or
believe lie about your Word. Give me sense to know lie and heart wey dey humble
to accept correction. Make me dey like Bereans—make I dey read Bible well and
stand for your truth. I pray for Jesus name, amen.
