PIDGIN IT NO BE YOUR FEELING!

2 Corinthians 5:7 “bikos wi dey live awa life with faith, nor bi with wetin wi dey si.

 

Some days for this Christian journey, your feeling fit shout pass your faith. You go wake up heavy, tired, afraid, confused, or just blank. Nothing inside you go feel spiritual, strong, or victorious. But make you know this truth wey dey free person well‑well: your feeling no be your foundation. Dem real, but dem no be truth. Dem dey loud, but dem no be voice wey you suppose follow. Dem dey change, but God no dey change.

When Bible talk say, “The just shall live by faith” for Romans 1:17, e no mean say we dey live by how mood take blow us. Faith no be feeling; faith na decision wey stand gidigba for who God be. Feeling fit show say you be human, but e no define who you be for Christ.

Think about Elijah for 1 Kings 19. Na prophet wey just call fire from heaven, win battle against Baal prophets, and see big victory. But one threat from Jezebel make fear, tiredness, and discouragement catch am. He even pray make he die. Him feeling tell am say he dey alone, finished, and forgotten — but all na lie. God no pamper the feeling; God correct am: “I still get seven thousand people…” Elijah feel alone, but e no dey. He feel finished, but e no finish. Feeling loud, but dem lie.

David face am too. For Psalm 42:5, he ask himself, “Why you dey cast down, my soul?” He dey discouraged, but he command himself make he hope for God. David know say soul fit feel one thing while spirit know another thing. Maturity be when you choose wetin your spirit know pass wetin your soul feel.

Even Jesus show us this for Gethsemane. Him soul heavy well‑well, close to death. He feel the pain and pressure, but he still pray, “No be my will, but Your own.” If Jesus follow feeling, salvation no for happen. He choose God will pass the emotion.

Na why Bible dey tell us make we stand, believe, trust, and hold strong — no be because we dey feel like am, but because obedience strong pass emotion. Feeling dey temporary; God Word dey forever.

When fear rise, Isaiah 41:10 tell you make you no fear because God dey with you. 

When worry talk, Philippians 4:6‑7 promise peace. 

When you feel lonely, Hebrews 13:5 say God no go ever leave you. 

When weakness choke you, 2 Corinthians 12:9 say His grace dey enough.

All dis no depend on how you feel. Dem depend on who God be.

Remember Peter for Matthew 14. As long as he dey look Jesus, he waka for water. The moment he focus on wind and wave — meaning, him feeling — he begin sink. The problem no be storm; na focus.

Na why Ephesians 6:16 call faith shield. Feeling no fit protect you — dem dey expose you. Faith dey protect you and remind you say God Word pass your emotion.

When you feel unloved — remember say God choose you, Ephesians 1:4. 

When you feel defeated — remember say you more than conqueror, Romans 8:37. 

When you feel forgotten — remember say God write your name for Him hand, Isaiah 49:16. 

When you feel overwhelmed — remember say God na your refuge, Psalm 46:1.

Your feeling dey loud, but dem no be God. 

Your emotion dey change, but your identity no change. 

Your heart fit shake, but your foundation strong.

Faith no mean say you no go feel anything. Faith na say you no allow make feeling control you. You honour God when you trust am even when you no feel strong. Resurrection power dey inside you.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS 

·       Which feeling dey try control your decision most, and which Bible truth dey fight am? 

·       You don ever realize say your feeling lie give you? Wetin God show you after? 

·       Which step you fit take make you focus more on God Word than your feeling?

PRAYER: Papa God, teach me make I waka by faith and no be by feeling. When my emotion rise like storm, hold me tight for Your truth. Help me know when my feeling dey lie, and give me strength to choose Your Word pass wetin I dey see or feel. 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. ...
