PIDGIN MIRROR! MIRROR OF THE WORD!

2 Korintians 3:18 “All of us wey don bilive Christ, God glory dey show for awa face. So di Spirit dey help us shange, so dat wi go bi like Christ.

 

Mirrors! You either like dem and get dem or you no too send! 

Every house get mirror, and for this our time now, everywhere you look, mirror dey look you back – na vanity dey push us make we dey check and re-check our appearance, arrange make‑up and dey admire ourselves every minute. But mirror na just shadow of reflection because e only dey see and show the outer, physical person. 

“Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who be the fairest of them all?” Na wetin full our culture today because of the original story. For the 1937 Disney classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the Wicked Queen talk this famous line: “Magic mirror, on the wall – who be the fairest one of all?” She dey use her magic wall mirror find the most beautiful woman for the kingdom so that she fit remove am from road. 

We dey use mirror to correct physical mistake for our appearance like rough hair, and bad make‑up, but mirror no dey fix us, e only show wetin need correction. 

Thing about God mirror be say: e dey always talk truth, even if we no like wetin we see! God Word, the Bible, na the only correct mirror wey dey tell us as we be for God face. Physical mirror fit flatter us, but God mirror dey talk am as e be! So anybody wey turn to God get freedom for spirit to receive wetin Moses no know or no get, as we dey become more like Christ, dey reflect the glory of God according to John 4:4. 

Broken, bent or dirty mirror no dey work well and e no dey show the correct image, even though mirror no fit show wetin dey inside person. Just like the world, mirror no get clear understanding of wetin right or wrong be. Our view dey blur, bend and no fit reveal wetin real or full truth, as we see for 1 Corinthians 13:12. Mirror only good to point out and highlight our imperfections. 

Mirror! Mirror! On the wall who be the best of them all – na wetin we dey do when we stand for front of our mirror. We dey look ourselves and conclude say na we be standard, so we take our performance measure everybody, even ourselves. But wetin we suppose dey talk be: “Mirror! Mirror! of God Word, show me who I suppose be.” Humanity dey progress, we dey learn new things every day. Psychologists define learning as “a relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs as a result of experience.” But real permanent change dey only inside Christ. 

James 1:23 mean say those wey no dey do God Word go forget how their natural face be after dem don look am well for mirror – “the countenance of his birth”: the face wey dem born am with. As person fit behold him natural face for mirror, na so the hearer fit see their moral face for God Word. We no fit turn supernatural beings by using natural power and dey do things wey no follow Scripture. We must study God Word with the same seriousness as we dey use mirror, meaning say serious study of the Word of God dey hold our inner man for front of God mirror wey dey reveal our cracks and imperfections according to 2 Timothy 2:15. Forgetful hearer na person wey see himself for God mirror but then waka comot and no do anything, as James 1:24 talk am. Bible no be like any other mirror because e fit change us! God mirror fit make us fine outside but even more beautiful for inside! 

Mirror! Mirror! on the wall or Mirror! Mirror! of God Word! Which one better, which one you prefer? Allow the Word of God remove the veil from your face so you fit receive all the benefits of the new covenant. 

REFLECTION QUESTION 

·       What areas of my life the mirror of God Word dey show say need transformation, and how willing I be to surrender them to the Holy Spirit? 

·       In what ways I don dey depend on natural “mirrors” like self‑perception, culture or performance instead of make God Word define my true identity? 

·       How I fit become consistent doer of the Word, no be forgetful hearer, so that true and permanent change go happen inside me? 

PRAYER: Lord, help me humbly and seriously look into the mirror of your Word and make I dey transformed every day through the reflection of your Spirit, 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. ...
