PIDGIN THE EXCLUSIVITY OF CHRISTIANITY!

John 14:6 “Jesus ansa am, “Na mi bi di road, di trut and life. Nobody go fit go meet my Papa, unless e pass thru mi.

 

Christianity dey teach say na only one true road dey reach God, and na through Jesus Christ. Dis truth na wetin dem dey call *the exclusivity of Christianity*. E mean say na only for inside Jesus we fit find salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life—not for any other religion, person, or road. 

Christianity stand different for among all the religions for this world because e dey claim say na only through Jesus Christ person fit get salvation and come back into right relationship with God. Even though dis kain talk dey cause wahala sometimes for dis kind world wey get many religions, e still dey stand strong because na Jesus Himself talk am and Bible support am. 

For the center of dis exclusivity na Jesus own declaration. E no talk am with confusion—Jesus no present Himself as one option among many. Instead, e show say na only Him be the one mediator between God and human beings, as 1 Timothy 2:5 talk. The apostles still repeat the same thing: “Salvation no dey anywhere else, because no other name dey under heaven wey God give among men wey we fit take save” (Acts 4:12). Apostle Paul still confirm am: “One God dey, and one mediator dey between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” 

The word “exclusivity” mean say something dey limited to one particular person, group, or purpose, and e no dey shared with others. For Christianity, exclusivity mean say na only Jesus Christ get the salvation and true truth. Dis idea no dey new—na Bible don already teach am, and e don shape how Christians dey reason and practice their faith since thousands of years. 

Jesus still talk for Matthew 6:24 say loyalty no fit divide between God and worldly things: “Nobody fit serve two masters. Na either you go hate one and love the other, or you go loyal to one and despise the other. You no fit serve both God and money.” Exclusivity of Christianity dey demand dis undivided loyalty. 

Dis belief dey show say na only one true God dey—monotheism—and e reject worship of any other god or spiritual road. This exclusive claim of the gospel no be arrogance or intolerance, but na God’s kind and gracious invitation. Christianity dey very inclusive for scope—God’s love and gift of salvation dey open to everybody: all races, all backgrounds, and no matter your past. But the road to reach God still remain exclusive—na only through Jesus Christ. Na only Him live sinless life, die as substitute for sinners, and rise with victory to give eternal life to everybody wey trust am. 

The First Commandment for Exodus 20:3 talk: “You no go get any other gods before me.” Na the foundation of exclusivity be dis: God dey demand loyal worship, no be divided heart and love. Christianity no be about serving small household gods, like those ones wey we read for Genesis 31:19—Laban’s idols wey Rachel steal. Even though those gods popular for that time, Mosaic Law forbid their worship. That act na violation of commandment and e show the constant struggle between loyalty to Yahweh and the temptation of idolatry. 

This strong belief dey challenge Christians say make we no just relax for self-righteousness or ordinary “cultural Christianity,” but make we witness boldly and with love, because na only Jesus be hope for this broken world. The matter still dey remind us of the urgent call of the Great Commission—make we preach Christ to all nations—because Bible don talk say people eternal life dey at stake. 

Exclusivity of Christianity no be about pride but about redemption—sure hope say God don make way, and na only way through Jesus. Na road we must share with the whole world. E no be something we fit monopolise or steal, like as Rachel carry her papa idols. E na exclusive covenant relationship—believers dey inside covenant wey set dem apart for God. Dis picture dey also show for Bible where the Church dey called the bride of Christ, God’s chosen people (Revelation 21:2).

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. ...
