PIDGIN WETIN YOU WANT MAKE I DO FOR YOU?

Mark 10:46–51

“ Dem kon go Jeriko. As Jesus and en disciples with plenty pipol dey komot for der, Bartimaeus wey bi Timaeus pikin, one beggar wey blind, sidan for road dey beg. 47Wen e hear sey na Jesus wey kom from Nazaret dey pass, e kon bigin shaut, “Jesus Christ, David pikin, make yu sorry for mi o-o!”

48Many pipol kon dey shaut for am make e kwayet, but e kon dey shaut more-more sey, “David pikin, sorry for mi o-o!”

49Jesus stop kon sey, “Make una koll am kom.” So, dem tell di blind man, “Make yu happy! Get up bikos Jesus dey koll yu.” 50Bartimaeus trowey di klot wey e take kover body kon jump up go meet Jesus.

51Den Jesus ask am, “Wetin yu wont make I do for yu?”

Di blind man ansa, “Tisha, make my eye open, make I for fit si again.”

 

Wetin you want make I do for you? Just imagine person ask you this kind open-ended question — no limit at all? Na exactly wetin the Lord dey always ask us. 

All of us get things wey we dey desire, but sometimes these desires no dey come true. Everybody wan make person do something for am! For Bible, plenty people dey ask God make He do something for dem — same way we too dey do every day. 

When we pray about anything, we get to talk am straight — make we no dey vague — because na wetin we ask the Lord, na Him we dey receive. 

Jesus don tell us for John 14:13–14, say whatever we ask for Him name, He go do am. But when He ask, “Wetin you want make I do for you?” e mean say He want make we dey specific for our prayer and particular for our asking. 

Wetin you want make I do for you? 

When James and John, the sons of Zebedee, ask Jesus make them sidon for Him right and left side for the Kingdom, Jesus reply with same question: They ask for honour, but Jesus warn dem say dem no understand the kind suffering wey dey come with that request. 

We too fit ask Jesus anything — but make we sure say na what we really need, not just what we like. 

Jesus sabi say Bartimaeus blind, but He still ask am what he want make He do for am. Jesus already know wetin Bartimaeus need, but He want make the request come from him own mouth — by faith and with confidence. 

Question na request for answer — and question like that deserve direct and specific answer. 

One of the principles for prayer wey Bible teach na for Matthew 7:7–11, wey talk say, “Ask, seek, and knock” — na so we go receive from God. 

True, the Lord know our needs before we talk am. But if we no open mouth ask and wait in faith to receive, how we go fit prove say na our faith bring the answer? 

When Jesus ask, “Wetin you want make I do for you?” — He dey expect you to talk am plain, exact, not long story. Direct question deserve direct answer. 

But before person fit ask Jesus anything, before we fit ask the Father make He do something for us, we must first belong to Him — be as branch wey connect to the Vine for John 14:13–14. 

When person tell us to, “Ask me anything,” e mean say dem don give us permission — power of attorney — to talk, to ask, and to expect result. 

And e dey bring glory to God to answer our prayers — to save us, bless us, heal us, lift us, favour us for every area: body, soul, and spirit. 

But God no go just do these things if we no ask in faith — according to Hebrews 11:6. 

1 John 3:22 talk say, “Whatever we ask, we receive from Him because we keep Him commandments.” That one show say, obedience dey connect directly with answered prayers. 

And because we know say God dey hear us as 1 John 5:15 talk, that one suppose give us confidence to ask anything — but we must believe say He go do am. 

Nothing too big nor too small for God to handle if na prayer wey align with His Word and will. Our trust for prayer therefore dey rest for our relationship with the Father. 

REFLECTION QUESTIONS 

- How you go personally answer this question today? 

- Your prayer points — dem specific and aligned with God’s will, or dem still dey general and vague? 

- You get any desire for your heart wey you never carry go before God? Why you never put am for prayer? 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You say You invite me make I ask boldly and specifically. Help me to align my desires with Your will and pray with faith wey no shake. I bring my needs before You today, knowing say nothing too big or too small for You. 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. ...
