PIDGIN THE ANCIENT PATH: A CALL BACK TO GOD’S WAY!

Jeremaya 6:16 “ God tell en pipol, “Make una stop and look round. Mi, wey bi God, don tok. Ask for di old way wey bi God own and make una follow am.” But dem ansa, “Dat nor bi di way wey wi like to follow!”

 

Life dey always carry us reach crossroads — times wey we dey confused or we suppose make serious decision. Na for those moments God dey invite us make we ask for the ancient path — the old road wey dey sure and true.

The ancient path no be old-fashioned thing; e dey rooted for God unchangeable character and His word. Na road of mercy like Micah 6:8 talk, of justice, humility like Philippians 2:3–4 show, and obedience like John 14:15 talk. For Jeremiah time, people turn from this road; dem begin follow idols and shortcuts. It still be the same today, plenty people don turn face from God or don turn spiritual things, even God Himself, into idol worship. 

Jesus na the full picture of that ancient path. For John 14:6, He talk say, “I be the way, the truth, and the life.” To waka for this path mean say we go follow the example of Jesus — love people, sacrifice, and stay faithful no matter the condition. Ask yourself: which road you dey follow? You don waka comot from the ancient path wey be Christ Jesus? Or you don find road wey only fit you and please society? 

Make we remember the story of the prodigal son for Luke 15:11–32. Even though the boy waka far, he still see restoration when come back to him papa house — that na the ancient path of repentance and grace. God still dey call us today to come back and find rest inside Him. 

To choose the ancient path, you must decide well. E mean say you go resist distractions and quick fixes of this world and follow the wisdom of God, like Proverbs 3:5–6 talk. No be man wisdom wey hide inside theology, spiritism, or religion, but God own wisdom wey pure. 

To follow this path mean say we go trust God timing and promise even when e hard or unclear — because when God hand dey inside, the road no dey easy but e dey meaningful. 

How we fit walk this ancient path today? Start by making your decisions stand on Scripture and prayer. Anytime you face wahala, ask yourself: “For this situation, what mercy, humility, and obedience go look like?” 

Our daily spiritual habit na the bridge wey connect us back to God heart — Bible study, prayer, worship, and fellowship. Na this kind discipline dey help us hear God clear, build our strength, and grow deeper for faith. 

The ancient path no dey behind you; e dey under your foot right now — e dey wait make you walk steady with God. This path no dey old; e still dey alive and active today, like Hebrews 4:12 talk. From beginning, God don always place His way before Him people, and He still dey call us make we walk inside Him will. For Deuteronomy 30:19–20, God talk say He don put life and death before Israel, and He beg dem make dem choose life — meaning His path always dey open for us to choose every day. 

Psalm 119:105 confirm am say, “Your word be lamp to my feet and light to my path.” The ancient path dey glow right where you stand. No be one faraway road wey you must travel back go find; na present invitation to walk daily with God. Jesus emphasize this same thing for Matthew 11:28–30 when He invite us make we walk with Him and find rest for our soul — not through our energy but by learning His way. 

Even when the road never clear, Isaiah 30:21 remind us say, God go still whisper direction: “This na the way, walk inside am.” The ancient path na God righteous way wey e still dey available to us now — calling us to trust, obey, and stay close to Him. 

For everyday life, this path fit look like to forgive instead of hold malice, to serve others with humility, or to wait patiently instead of rushing. Remember say the ancient path dey lead to rest — no because life no get trials, but because God dey walk with us inside the journey. 

REFLECTION QUESTIONS 

·       Which spiritual discipline dey help you stay connected to God when life reach crossroad? 

·       For which area of your life you dey tempted to look for shortcut instead of waiting for God timing and wisdom? 

·       How you fit keep up with prayer, Bible study, and worship daily to stay on the ancient path even when life dey heavy or distracting? 

PRAYER: Lord, every time I reach crossroads, teach me to look for Your ancient path. Help me to walk inside Your way of mercy, humility, and obedience. When I begin to stray, draw my soul back to Your presence and faithful guidance. 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. ...
