PIDGIN NO BURN OUT!

1 Timoti 1:12 “I tank Christ awa Oga God, wey give mi pawa to do en work. Even doh I dey tok bad about am and dey opress en pipol before,

 

Tiredness! wahala wey dey tire person, and dat feeling wey person dey feel say e too much, na sign say burnout dey. Burnout na work palava wey World Health Organization talk say no be sickness, but something wey fit happen for work place. Wetin fit show say person get burnout na:

- Taya: E be like say person no get energy again.

- Lost interest: Person go dey feel say e no wan do anything or e dey vex for work/life.

- No fit do better: E go be like say person no dey perform well or achieve wetin e suppose to.

Burnout fit happen to anybody at anytime. Nobody dey exempt, especially if person dey do things wey dey cause burnout. God talk say make we rest for Exodus 20:8-10 and e show us example after creation as e rest for seventh day (even though we sabi say God no need rest), to show us how to rest and recharge our body and spirit. If we ignore rest, burnout go catch us. You dey among people wey think say dem no need rest? Abeg, you need am, if you no want burn out.

Na why Jesus call all of us wey don taya for Matthew 11:28-30, “Make una come to me, una wey dey taya and carry heavy load, I go give una rest.” E promise us peace for our heart when life dey choke us, that na wetin dey happen because of wahala and storm wey life get.

Wetin dey cause burnout? E dey happen if we no dey handle stress well or na because wahala too much for work or house. If work dey too plenty, no support, plenty pressure and wahala for office, na recipe for burnout. You sabi am? E fit be wetin dey happen for your life now. If you no want burn out — you must rest!

Try know wetin dey work or dey tire you, wetin dey cause stress, and run from am. We suppose dey throw our wahala give God as 1 Peter 5:7 talk, because e care for us, and prayer suppose be our lifeline anytime burnout dey — make we dey release our stress give am. Dey look for beta Beta thing wey go help reduce wahala, and sometimes just shutdown or go chill so that body fit cool.

Take time to waka alone, as Mark 6:31 talk. Even Jesus tell him disciples make dem comot from crowd go rest. You no fit dey crowd, dey do everything, and still dey okay. You suppose find time comot, cool body. Crowd fit be family too (yes, sometimes rest from pikin, husband, and wife dey important make person fit find imself for God). E fit even be work, so holiday and annual leave dey necessary. Dem fit help refocus and recharge you for beta work. Crowd fit be anything wey dey stress you.

You no fit sustain yourself, na God fit do am, Nehemiah 8:10 talk am. True strength, na God dey give, Isaiah 40:29-31 “E dey give strength to person wey don tire.” If our own energy finish, na God go renew am. Trusting God go help us not to fall. Philippians 4:13 talk say we fit do everything, but na through Christ wey dey give strength.

How you fit sabi say you don dey burnout? If you dey experience or feel these things, time don reach make you pause and relax:

- Body taya and sickness dey show

- Spirit taya, hopeless dey catch you

- You dey vex quick, nothing sweet you again

- You no fit focus or na brain dey freeze

- You dey run from wahala, friend and family

Burnout dey affect how we dey reason, do work, and relate with people; na better thing if person quick catch am to stop am make e no turn bigger wahala. If you wan avoid am or quick comot from stress and burnout, make you join better group — church, ministry, friend group, neighbours, because people fit support and help as Galatians 6:2 talk, because if person dey alone, e dey worse burnout.

Bible talk say rest no be option — na spiritual obedience. E call us make we trust God, dey rest, dey pray, and join community. Burnout na sign say make person slow down and follow God rhythm for life.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

- You dey notice sign of taya for body, spirit or mind for your life?

- Which thing or responsibility dey sap your energy pass right now?

- Which area for your life you suppose put better boundary make you no burn out?

- You dey allow people help carry your load (Galatians 6:2), or you dey isolate?

PRAYER: Papa God, I dey come before you as person wey don taya and dey chook for wahala. I confess say I dey carry too much for head. I need your strength and peace, teach me to rest for your side and trust you with my time. Renew my mind, refresh my spirit, and put joy back for my body. Help me to take all my wahala give you, in Jesus name I pray. 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. ...
