PIDGIN MARCH FOR JESUS!

2 Timothy 2:3–4 “Make yu dey ready to sofa as mi and odas dey sofa, so dat yu go bi good soja for Christ. 4Nor-tin koncern sojas with tins wey ordinary pipol dey do; if not, e nor go do wetin en oga wont.   

 

Every Christian get marching order from the Supreme General, the Captain of the Lord of Hosts. Our marching order come from the highest Authority for Matthew 28:19–20 — make we go and make disciples.

“Soldiers of Christ, arise” na hymn wey Charles Wesley, founder of Methodist church, write. People wey follow John and Charles Wesley that time really put their life for risk. One writer say, “Dem treat them badly — stone them, beat them, push them inside water, chase them with bulldog, threaten them, scatter their houses, and destroy their business. Anybody wey waka pass town fit know Methodist house by the way e don spoil.” 

For 1749, Charles write this hymn under the title “The Whole Armour of God,” and dem dey use am to confirm new converts. Even though most believers today no face the same physical danger wey Wesley and him people face, we still need to wear the full armour of God. 

Spiritual warfare still serious like before. We be soldiers of Christ, we must rise and march for God kingdom. You ready and dey willing to march for Christ? You don wear your armour — the full armour of God? 

Remember “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” wey Sabine Baring‑Gould write. He be thirty‑one‑year‑old preacher and schoolteacher when he write am. Him just wan get marching song for him schoolchildren. Later he even apologise say, “I write am in hurry, some rhymes no too correct.” He say, “I want make the children sing as dem dey march from one village to another, but I no see anything wey fit, so I stay awake all night to write something myself.” 

From history reach now, many people don ready to do extra for God kingdom — some even die for am. Real soldiers no dey first think of their safety; dem dey think of their calling and loyalty to the cause wey dem dey march for. For Christians, the gospel na legacy wey worth to fight and even die for. As servants of the gospel, we dey push through the suffering and groaning of this world with our eye fixed on home and on Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our faith. We dey go forward with the understanding say our fight no be against wetin eye fit see, no be flesh and blood, but against rulers and authorities of the unseen world (Ephesians 6:12). 

Soldiers no dey serve to protect themselves; dem dey protect the interest of their homeland. For battle, no space for pride, ego or show‑off. Wetin matter na to obey commander’s instruction. 

Think about Paul words to him young son Timothy: “Suffer hardship with me, as good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier wey dey on active duty go tie himself with everyday life matter, so that he fit please the one wey enlist am as soldier.” Na our duty, our responsibility and our honour be that — to serve and march for God kingdom. 

The Lord Himself go march with us and even go ahead of us. Isaiah 42:13 say, “The Lord go march out like champion, like warrior He go stir Him zeal; with shout He go raise battle cry and He go win over His enemies.” 

2 Samuel 5:24 say, “Once you hear sound of marching for top of the poplar trees, move quick, because that one mean say the Lord don go ahead of you to strike the Philistine army.” So you see, as believers we no really get option — we must keep marching for the General of our faith wey don give the order. 

No forget your marching order — the Great Commission. And make this chorus remain your anthem: 

“When the saints go marching in, Oh, when the saints go marching in, Lord, I want to be in that number, When the saints go marching in.” 

For this month of March, march for Jesus! 

REFLECTION QUESTION 

·       Which marching order God don show me personally, and I dey obey am actively or I don allow everyday life tie me down? 

·       For which area I need strengthen my spiritual armour so I fit stand well and march forward as soldier of Christ? 

·       How my daily life — my words, actions and choices — fit clearly show say I dey march for Jesus and dey push Him kingdom forward? 

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for the opportunity to openly declare my faith and share Your love with the world. Make my march for this month become strong testimony of Your grace and truth, 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. ...
