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.
