PIDGIN STRENGTHEN YOURSELF AGAINST THE ENEMY!

2 Kronikles 17:1-5 'Asa pikin, Jehoshafat kon take-ova as king. E pak sojas full Judah towns kon send some go difren place for Judah land and for Efraim towns wey en papa seize. God bin dey with Jehoshafat wen e start to rule, bikos e dey obey God like David en grand-grand papa. E nor gri serve juju, instead e serve and obey en grand-grand papa God. E nor do like Israel pipol. Bikos God guide en kingdom, Israel pipol kon take gift go give Jehoshafat, so e get enough money and pipol kon dey respet am. '

 

 

Many Christians no sabi say dem dey leave themselves open for spiritual attack. Dem dey like open express road wey enemy fit pass anyhow—no guard, no cover, and no awareness say dem need to shut, lock, and seal every spiritual door. As we dey take big effort to secure our house and phone, make we no forget to secure our spirit life, our gifts, and our destiny.

Jehoshaphat, wey be king of Judah, understand wetin e mean to prepare well—both for spirit and for battle. E no only put physical defence, e also dey seek God and dey waka according to God commandment. From him example we learn say spiritual strength na better weapon to stand against enemy plan. 

God don command make we live right and teach others too. Na that kind obedience go make us depend on am well-well. Na only that dependence dey give real strength to face devil. If we dey depend on ourself or other people to get spiritual power, we go fall short. For 2 Chronicles 20:15, God tell Jehoshaphat—and all of us—say, “the battle no be your own, na God get am.” 

Ephesians 6:12 make am clear: “We no dey fight flesh and blood, but principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness for high places.” You no fit win this kind battle with human hand. Na only God power dey fit handle am. 

Proverbs 4:23 say, “Guard your heart with all diligence, because from there na your life matter dey flow.” To guard no mean siddon quiet—it require serious work for your mind, heart, body, and spirit. Make you dey shine eye for those mental and emotional attack wey wan weaken your strong mind and confuse you from God purpose. 

For Deuteronomy 12:3, God command Israelites make dem destroy all idol temple when dem enter Canaan. Those things represent compromise and false worship. To clear dem out na physical sign of obedience to God—na how dem take strengthen themselves against temptation. 

The same way, we need to clear anything for our life wey fit open door for compromise—bad habit, wrong relationship, media wey no pure, or place wey dey weaken our spiritual defence. 

Ephesians 6:10 say, “Make you strong in God and Him power and might.” This kind strength no fit come from your own self—na from staying inside God Word and presence. Psalm 119:105 say, “Your word na lamp to my feet and light to my path.” God Word dey show road and dey equip us to win. 

Jehoshaphat no just live right, e still pause to ask God direction. Psalm 35:1 talk say God go fight for those wey people dey fight. Psalm 60:12 still confirm am say, “Na through God we go do valiantly, because na Him go trample our enemies.” 

Ezekiel 33:7 show our duty as spiritual watchmen. Watchman no dey sleep—im job be to shout alarm and warn others of danger wey dey come. God appoint us to dey watch over our family, our community, and even our nation. The work heavy, but God grace plenty pass am. 

When watchman blow trumpet, na the people get to respond. Dem go prepare and strengthen themselves, or dem go ignore warning and bear the loss? 

Enemy no dey rest, and e don dey use subtle ways now. So, we no suppose relax or dey careless. Strengthen yourself inside God. Fortify your spirit. Guard your heart. Remove compromise. Stand firm for the Word. Dey alert as a watchman. And most important—remember say the battle na God own. 

REFLECTION QUESTIONS 

- Wetin be those areas of your life wey still open for spiritual attack? 

- You get some habit or influence wey you need to remove to make yourself stronger? 

- How you fit dey more alert as spiritual watchman? 

- Which scripture you fit dey meditate on to build spiritual strength? 

PRAYER: Lord, make You help me strong for You and for the power of Your might. Teach me how to guard my heart, remove compromise, and stand firm for Your Word. Make me faithful watchman for all You put for my hand. I surrender every battle to You, because I sabi say victory dey Your 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. ...
