PIDGIN SPIRITUAL CONFRONTATIONS!

Galatians 6:1-2 “My brodas and sistas, if una si pesin dey sin, make una wey dey spiritual, koll am back. But make una wosh unasef, so dat una nor go fall inside temptashon too. 2Make una help karry each oda load and if una do like dis, una dey obey Christ.

 

Wetin be confrontation and why e dey hard like that? Confrontation na when ideas or forces clash, when opinion between people no gree. E be common thing for human relationship, and Bible don talk plenty about am with love, truth, and reconciliation. Bible way of confrontation no just mean to settle fight; e also mean to make relationship strong and help spiritual growth. Person fit face confrontation, but inside Christ, e no fit defeat you, as Ephesians 6:16 talk.

Even person wey never strong for spirit still get moral responsibility to face bad behaviour or action from people around am. Anybody fit misbehave—some go offend without knowing, some go intentionally cause wahala. Na that second group, the ones wey sabi trouble and no wan change, we suppose confront—especially when their bad attitude don turn habit.

Proverbs 27:6-7 tell us say make we no fear to correct or rebuke person wey dey do wrong, because open rebuke fit help the person think about their way. We no fit say we love people and we dey look after them if we dey see problem but no do anything. If you must confront, ask God make Him give you power, love, and self-discipline to talk wetin you suppose talk. Confrontation dey hard, yes! But e suppose come with love and compassion. And if person confront you, take am as honour say somebody care about your growth and change.

We all get that one person—friend, colleague, family, or neighbour—wey need small correction for their attitude or character, but we dey fear to talk because we no wan scatter peace. But Hebrews 10:24 tell us say we suppose challenge people make dem do better. Many dey run from confrontation, but make we remember say, even though e no sweet, e dey necessary to stop bigger problem later and to help person wey don dey go astray. When we notice issue wey need attention, make we handle am quickly before e turn to stronghold, but do am with right motive, timing, and spirit.

Paul confront the Corinthians for 1 Corinthians 5 because of immorality. He for ignore, but he face the matter direct when the church leaders no do anything. The reason for correct confrontation no be to punish but to redeem and restore. Before we confront, make we understand the issue well—to know why e happen and how to fix am. 2 Timothy 3:16 remind us say Scripture dey give wise counsel for such things.

Make we bold to stand on Bible instruction to handle wahala wey need correction. But we no suppose confront anybody without love. As Proverbs 10:12 talk, confrontation without love na hatred—e go only cause offense and quarrel. Conflict go always dey, but the way we handle am go show whether the person go change and be restored or go cut off like Titus 3:10 talk.

Wahala and disagreement no go ever finish, but if we no confront the things wey need attention, the problem go pile up until e blow like bomb of resentment and quarrel. E dey easy to look after our own interest, but true love mean say make we care for others too—by confronting wrong when e dey harm everybody. As Paul talk for Philippians 2:3-4, make we no dey selfish. If we truly care, we go still correct those we love even when e no easy. Make we, with respect, show people around us when correction dey needed, but do am with love.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

·        For which area of my life I don dey avoid necessary confrontation, even though Bible talk say make we address issues with love and on time? 

·        When I dey confront others, my motive na love, restoration, and spiritual growth—or na frustration, judgment, or selfishness? 

·        How I fit allow Holy Spirit guide my words, timing, and attitude, so that my confrontation go reflect God compassion and desire for peace?

PRAYER: Dear Lord, teach me to confront openly but without quarrel. Make I correct people with kindness, wisdom, gentleness, and patience. 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. ...
