PIDGIN COME AND SEE!

John 1:35–39 “Wen day break, John with en two disciple stand for outside. 36Dem kon dey look Jesus wen e dey waka pass, den John kon sey, “Make una look! Na dat pesin bi God Sheep.” 37 Wen John two disciples hear wetin e tok, dem kon follow Jesus. 38 Jesus look back kon si di disciples dey follow am. Den e ask dem, “Wetin una wont?”

Dem ansa am, “Oga God, (wey mean Tisha) where yu dey stay?” 39 Jesus ansa dem, “Make una kom si am.” So dem go si di place wey e dey stay kon stay with am dat day. Dat time na about for oklok for aftanoon.

 

Come and see na invitation wey dey echo through Scripture like gentle call from God heart. E simple, but e get deep power to change life. Dis three words show for key moments for Bible—moments wey God reveal Himself, call people enter deeper faith, and draw dem into personal encounter. “Come and see” no be just instruction; na invitation into revelation, relationship, and response. 

Come and see na invitation to revelation. When John the Baptist point to Jesus and talk, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”, two of him disciples start to follow Jesus immediately. Jesus sense their hunger, turn ask dem, “Wetin una dey find?” Dem answer, “Rabbi, where You dey stay?” Jesus reply with timeless invitation: “Come and see.” 

This moment show us something beautiful about God nature. Jesus no overload dem with explanation or hand dem theology book. Instead, Him invite dem enter experience. For Kingdom, revelation dey come through relationship. E dey unfold as we waka with Him, stay with Him, and remain in Him presence. Jesus dey invite us no be only to learn about Him, but to know Him. 

Come and see na invitation to witness God works. When Philip find Nathanael and tell am about Jesus of Nazareth, Nathanael reply with doubt: “Anything good fit come out from Nazareth?” Philip no argue. E just say, “Come and see.” 

This one teach us say best answer to doubt no be pressure, but invitation. When people encounter Jesus by themselves, their heart go change. Nathanael move from doubt to worship in one encounter, declare, “Rabbi, You na di Son of God!” Sometimes our role na just to carry people come meet Jesus and trust Holy Spirit make Him do the rest. 

Come and see na invitation to behold God power. Psalm 66:5 talk say, “Come and see what God has done, Him awesome works for mankind.” Here, “come and see” na call to remember and celebrate God mighty acts. E dey invite us to look back at Him faithfulness and make e strengthen our present faith. 

When we pause to come and see wetin God don do for our life—doors wey Him open, battles wey Him fight, mercies wey Him show—our heart go become anchored for gratitude and trust. Remembering God works dey fuel confidence for future. 

Come and see na invitation to compassion. For Lazarus tomb, mourners tell Jesus, “Lord, come and see.” Dem invite Him enter their grief, pain, and loss. And Jesus cry. 

This moment show tender truth: God no dey far from our sorrow. When we say, “Lord, come and see,” Him enter our broken places with compassion. Him no dey rush us. Him no dey rebuke us. Him dey cry with us—and then Him dey bring resurrection life. Him presence inside our pain na part of Him healing. 

Come and see na invitation to encounter risen Christ. For John 20:27, after resurrection, Thomas struggle to believe. Jesus no shame am for him doubt. Instead, Him invite Thomas come near: “Put your finger here… see My hands.” This na another form of “come and see”—invitation to bring our questions, fear, and uncertainty into presence of risen Lord. 

Jesus dey meet us where we dey, but Him never dey leave us there. Him invitation dey carry us from doubt enter faith, from confusion enter clarity, from fear enter confidence. 

Wetin “Come and See” mean for us today: 

Na call to seek Jesus personally, no be second-hand. 

Na invitation to witness God work for our life and for other people life. 

Na reminder say God welcome our questions, doubts, and pain. 

Na commission to invite others enter Jesus presence—not through pressure, but through love. 

Every day, Jesus dey whisper this word to us: “Come and see.” 

Come and see My goodness. 

Come and see My mercy. 

Come and see My power. 

Come and see My heart for you.

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. ...
