PIDGIN STAIRWAYS!

John 1:51 “Den e kon sey, “Wetin I dey tell una na true word, una go si heaven open and God angels go dey waka up-and-down on-top God Pikin

 

Stairways and stairs dey almost every building. Sometimes, dem even dey outside! But dem no be just structures, stairways dey serve as gates to different places. Bible use stairways for two ways—literal and symbolic. One wey dey well-known na Jacob’s ladder for im dream for Genesis 28:10-15. That ladder connect earth to heaven, mean say God and people get direct link. Stairways still dey for buildings, dey remind us about connections between different levels and floors.

For Solomon temple, stairs dey symbolize access to holy places, as we see for 1 Kings 6:8. Jesus talk say, "I be the way," mean say na only through Him person fit get to where e wan go. Many people dey look for direction and path to their goals, na Jesus be that path—no other way go God or heaven pass Him, our stairway to heaven. Just like Jacob’s ladder, we fit find ourselves for door for heaven, and Bible talk say God dey wait for am up there for verse 13. If we want reach destination, we gots climb the stairs.

Some people fit dey for first step, dey unsure or no dey ready move; dem no dey go front or back. Others fit dey stuck for middle, no sabi whether to go up or down. Then some fit reach top but dem just dey stand, no dey take last step go their destination. Wetin be the use of climbing if you no go anywhere? Stairs dey connect us directly to God. For Acts 21:35, Paul use stairs as escape route. So, which stairs you dey overlook or wetin you really dey find? Stairs for Bible dey mean spiritual progress—our journey from earth life to God side, like Jacob for im dream. Some people dey gbalaga, dey try find the right way or stairway, but dem fit dey stand for front the stairs, no even sabi.

Where you dey go? Where you need reach? Bible talk for 1 Timothy 2:5 say Jesus be mediator between God and man, make e no be only stairway but the only true path—the right and divine way go God. When we go look building and design, we too dey find the stairs wey go different floors, no matter na first, second or more. Stairs get different type: straight, narrow, steep, spiral. No matter their shape, dem dey go somewhere. Some stairs fit hard, need make you hold strong to climb safely. But no forget, as you dey climb stairway, Jesus be the way. He be our stairway, our direct link to where we go. While you dey climb, remember those wey dey front you, learn from dem, and those behind you, be example to dem according to Philippians 4:9 and 3:17.

For scripture, stairways dey symbolize spiritual growth process. This idea dey strong for Genesis 28. Scripture show say Jesus be our elevation way, help us climb pass to reach spiritual goals. The winding stairs for Solomon temple for 1 Kings 6:8 dey symbolize gradual spiritual growth—movement from one maturity level to another. We suppose focus on God’s Word, no be ourselves or how fast we climb. No be confidence or skill matter, na how we climb the stairs go Christ, the way to heaven, wey go deepen our connection with God and spiritual maturity.

No matter where you dey or wetin you dey do, stairways to Christ symbolize your faith and growth. You dey that path? You dey take the right step to reach those stairways? For Ezekiel vision chapter 40:6, we see future temple represent progress and entrance into holy places. Na those stairs wey Jesus provide take us go those holy places—a true connection to God. Whatever we dey do, e important to check stairway, ladder of Christ and continue to move closer to our goals. Those stairways na entry to God side. Step on am with confidence; no make anything hold you back.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

-        Where you dey for your spiritual stairway? You just step on, stuck for middle or stand for top no know wetin next?

-        You dey climb go God actively, or you don pause?

-        Which kind stairway you dey—straight, narrow, steep or spiral?

-        You dey rely on Jesus as your stairway, or you dey find another way?

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for be the architect of our spiritual journey. Just like Jacob see ladder from earth to heaven, help me know say You provide me with divine stairway—Jesus Christ, my only way to You. Lord, help us step boldly on stairs of faith. Give us strength for the journey, wisdom to sabi right steps, and humility to learn from those ahead and behind us, na in Your holy 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. ...
