PIDGIN DRESSED FOR HELL!

Matthew 22:13–14 “13“Den di king tell en savants, ‘Make una tie en hand and leg trow am outside for darkness, where e go kry and grind en tit.’

14“Na only few pipol God choose from di many wey e koll.”

 

Bible give us serious warning: no be everybody wey look spiritually dressed really ready for heaven. Some people don wear clothes wey fit dem well—no be for God presence—but for destruction. Hell no be only destination; e be like wardrobe. And many people don wear hell cloth without even know. 

For Matthew 22:1–14, Jesus give parable of wedding banquet. One man enter party without correct wedding cloth. Dem invite am, e show, e even sit down—but e dress wrong. Di king reaction serious: “Tie am hand and leg… throw am go outer darkness.” Him cloth expose him heart. E want blessings of di kingdom without di change wey King require. Him outward look show inward refusal to change. Dis story remind us say spiritual clothing dey matter. Wetin we wear for spirit dey show who we really belong to. 

One of di first clothes wey dey align person with destruction na garment of pride. Pride na cloth wey Lucifer don wear before e turn human being problem. Isaiah 14:12–15 describe being wey wrap himself with self‑exaltation and independence from God. Pride na hell material—woven with thread of self‑worship and refusal to take correction. Any time person reject repentance because “I dey okay as I be,” e don wear hell colour. When pesin insist on him own way against God Word, e dey dress like di one wey fall from heaven. James 4:6 warn say “God dey resist proud.” If God Himself resist you, where remain for pesin go, if no be far from Him? 

Another cloth wey dey prepare person for destruction na unforgiveness. Jesus talk am clear: “If you no forgive others, your Father no go forgive you” (Matthew 6:15). Unforgiveness na heavy dark cloth wey dey choke heart and cover eye. Na hell cloak because e resemble hell nature—hell na di only place wey mercy no dey. For parable of unforgiving servant, di man wey refuse forgive end up for hand of tormentors. Unforgiveness dey dress us with torment before eternity even start. 

Hypocrisy na another robe wey dey lead to destruction. Jesus use Him strongest rebuke for people wey wear religious cloth but get hellish heart. E call dem “whitewashed tombs”—fine for outside, dead for inside. Hypocrisy dangerous because e dey deceive both di person wey wear am and di people wey dey look. Pesin fit preach, sing, serve, yet still naked for God front. Revelation 3:17 talk about church wey think say dem rich but actually “wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.” Hell full of people wey look holy but live empty. 

Compromise na another quiet but deadly garment. Lot wife wear dis cloth. She commot for Sodom, but Sodom no commot from her. Her backward look show attachment wey still dey inside. Compromise no dey shout; e dey whisper. E no dey always tell you make you turn back fully; e just tell you make you lean small. When believers dress with compromise, dem blend with world so tey heaven no fit separate dem. Romans 13:14 command us make we “put on the Lord Jesus Christ and no give flesh chance.” Compromise na hell fashion because e slowly dey remove garment of righteousness from soul. 

Rebellion na another cloth wey lead to destruction. Rebellion pass ordinary disobedience; na posture of heart. Bible call am “as the sin of witchcraft” (1 Samuel 15:23). Saul lose him kingdom because e wear rebellion like royal robe. Hell full of rebels—people wey hear God voice but choose their own way. Every time we talk, “I know wetin God talk, but…” we don begin try hell clothes. 

But good news dey: heaven get dress code too. God dey offer different garment—robe of righteousness (Isaiah 61:10). No be we sew am; Christ give am. No be we earn am; we receive am. No be we dey perfect am; na Spirit dey maintain am. To dey dressed for heaven na to dey clothed with Christ (Galatians 3:27). To dey dressed for hell na to dey clothed with self. Every day, whether we know or we no know, we dey choose our spiritual outfit. 

REFLECTION QUESTIONS 

·       Which “hell garment” I dey quick wear—pride, unforgiveness, hypocrisy, compromise, or rebellion? 

·       Wetin I fit do practically this week to “put on Christ” for my thoughts, habits, and relationships? 

·       Who for my life need to see me wearing robe of righteousness instead of old‑nature cloth? 

PRAYER: Lord, remove from my body every garment wey no reflect You. Take pride, unforgiveness, hypocrisy, compromise, and rebellion commot from my life. Clothe me with righteousness of Christ and make my life show beauty of Your holiness. Keep me ready for Your kingdom and far from anything wey dey lead to destruction. 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. ...
