PIDGIN BE STILL!

Psalm 46:10 “God sey, “Make una stand for where una dey, den una go know sey na mi bi God! Evry nashon go honor mi and evribody for di world go praiz my name.”

 

To dey still na one of the hardest thing for life, but e dey very important if we wan be wetin God create us to be. To dey still mean plenty things: make you no dey waka, make noise, just dey calm, gentle, and quiet. For Christ, to dey still mean make you relax for im presence. E dey hard, but na must. 

To practice stillness na serious work for Christian journey. For this world wey dey celebrate hustle and noise, the call to “dey still” no dey common—but na holy thing. Na for quiet place we dey hear God heart. 

We must learn how to mute ourselves—especially when everywhere dey noisy. Like as you go fit mute TV or music to hear wetin dey happen, sometimes you need silence to hear your own mind, and most especially to hear God. Stillness na spiritual discipline. E no just mean make you quiet; e mean surrender to God presence, trust im power, and find peace in the middle of wahala. 

You don learn how to dey still? Make you stop to dey struggle or worry, just relax for God hand? Stillness no be say you dey do nothing—na bold action of faith. Na posture wey show say you trust God, you don drop control, you dey allow God make im move. Na to choose faith over fear. 

To dey still mean pass just quietness for body. Na spiritual action—na deliberate choice to pause, listen, and surrender. Na act wey go help you quiet all distraction for where you dey and for your mind, so you fit hear Holy Spirit voice well. For Christ, stillness no be empty thing—na fullness. Na to rest for God presence, to trust im power, and allow im peace reign. 

Bible talk about stillness plenty times. 

Exodus 14:14 talk say, “The Lord go fight for you; make you just dey still.” Imagine Israelites face big wahala, God tell dem make dem relax. Dem sabi God, but no be all sabi how im dey work. Yet, God call dem to trust am even when fear wan catch dem. You fit do am? 

Mark 4:39 show Jesus as e rebuke wind and order the storm make e be still. E fit quiet wahala. If Jesus fit calm the storm, e fit calm any wahala wey dey your life—the rush, the jitters, the fear. You fit find peace if you fit dey still for im presence. 

Isaiah 26:3 talk say, “You go keep dem for perfect peace, people wey put mind for you.” No be our shakara dey bring peace, na God presence. If you anchor yourself for God Word, im love, and Holy Spirit, na true stillness you go get. 

Stillness dey important because e show say you trust God. When you stop to dey struggle, you dey tell God say na im dey control. You dey show say your own power get limit, but God own no get limit. 

If you fit quiet, you go reach near God. You go hear im voice clear, feel im presence well, and understand wetin im want make you do better. 

Stillness dey make faith strong. E no mean say you dey dull—na active surrender. Na to choose believe say, even when you no dey do anything, God dey work behind. 

So, when you suppose dey still? 

- For time of crisis or when everywhere don burst – make you let God take charge. 

- When you pray and meditate – to hear im voice. 

- For spiritual fight – to rest for im victory. 

- When you dey wait for God – to trust im time, no rush yourself. 

To dey still no be sign of weakness—na true spiritual power. E dey bring growth, understanding, and serious change. E dey make you strong for God hand, well grounded for im love. 

Anywhere you dey now, make you pause. Reflect. Mute the noise. Dey still, make you know say na God dey in charge.

REFLECT ON THIS QUESTION 

- Wetin “to dey still” mean for you for your walk with God? 

- You fit remember when stillness help you hear God clear pass? 

- Wetin dey distract you from being still before God? 

- How you dey react when God ask you make you dey still for middle of wahala? 

- You don really learn how to dey still for God presence?

PRAYER: Papa God, for all the gbege wey dey this life, abeg teach me how to dey still. Still my heart make I fit hear You well. Whisper for my mind make I rest for Your truth. For my spirit make I trust Your timing. When I wan rush ahead, remind me say e fit overwhelm me—but for Your peace, I fit remain calm. I gree drop my fears for Your hand, Lord. 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. ...
