PIDGIN KNOW YOUR ENEMY!

Numbers 13:18 “and si wetin di land bi like. Weda di pipol wey dey stay der strong or weak, small or plenty,

 

You sabi who your enemy be? From Bible side, anybody wey dey block your spiritual work na enemy. To know the kind person wey dey fight you important well-well for planning and spiritual readiness. E dey help us judge wetin dey ahead, especially the strength and number of people wey dey oppose us. Na so e be for the children of Israel wey God promise land.

Their work simple: Go Canaan! Check the land. Understand wetin you dey enter. Plan well-well. But instead make them focus on the work, them dey look wetin them no suppose see and talk words wey them no suppose talk. How about you, na only physical things you dey see? You dey base physical decisions on spiritual things or the other way? Past challenges, disappointments, and mistakes dey cloud your judgment? Earlier experiences dey affect wetin you expect for future?

Know your enemy. When you read the Bible, wetin dey come your mind? When you look around you, wetin dey stand out? You dey lean on your own understanding for spiritual matters like Proverbs 3:5 warn us? With the kind strategic wisdom wey Moses use guide the Israelites to check the land, we suppose think about: understanding the spiritual map of our assignment, enemies and life, then shift our viewpoint from weakness to strength, spot opportunities and potential for the word by the Spirit. The God we worship no dey depend on numbers; He just need one person wey ready and capable. This theme clear for the whole Bible.

David face Goliath all by himself against a whole army. Samson stand by himself against the Philistines. The Book of Judges plenty time when God choosing one person over crowd. We need to think about preparation and understand our position before we enter any fight. Spiritual insight dey help us do things right. Like military operation, we no suppose enter battles without clear strategy.

Our faith must rest firm for God Word. We must confront our fears, as 1 Peter 5:8 advise, make we stay alert to the enemy and ready to run. Through the Holy Spirit, we go come dey unstoppable. Make your mindset focus on faith instead of fear.

Wetin you dey face? The Scripture remind us for Ephesians 6:12, say we no dey wrestle against flesh and blood, but against unseen forces of darkness. Our true enemy no be people, but spiritual forces wey dey work behind the scenes to block our progress, sow confusion, and challenge our faith. How you fit fight wetin you no fit see or understand with just physical senses? Proverbs 3:5 say we no suppose rely only on our own understanding. We suppose trust God make He guide us for every situation.

Know your enemy. Your enemy no be the brother or sister wey hurt you. The pikin wey no listen. The spouse wey no meet your expectations. The sibling wey turn away from you. That friend or mentor wey disappoint you. In short, your enemy no be physical person; na the spirits or demons wey dey cause confusion for your life. When you dey face personal challenges, just like the Israelites, we need to assess our problems, acknowledge the authority and power wey we get for spiritual realm and rely on the power of Jesus' name to overcome fear.

Trust God completely make He prepare you for the next steps. But through discernment to recognize our enemies, wey go equip us to tackle temptations, injustices, and struggles. We get power to overcome the enemy, break the chains of discouragement and replace fear with faith as we stand strong on God Word. Make God Word fill you with strength, wisdom, and discernment to recognize and conquer your enemy.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

- it get any areas for your life where fear don overshadow your faith?

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, You dey call me make I step into promises wey fit seem like e full of giants. Help me see clearly—no be just the strength of my enemies, but the power of Your Word. Teach me make I discern without fear, prepare without panic, and face challenges with unwavering trust for 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. ...
