PIDGIN SPIRITUAL PROSTITUTION!

Jeremiah 3:1–11 “1 God sey, “If man drive en wife and di woman go marry anoda man, di man go fit go marry di woman again? Dat kind tin go make di land dirty.

But Israel pipol, una bi ashawo wey get many husband and naw, una won turn back kom meet mi. 2 Make una look on-top di hills and una go si sey e nor get anywhere wey una neva do ashawo! Una sidan for road dey wait men, just as Arab pipol dey wait for dia enemies for desert. And naw, una don spoil di land with una ashawo and wiked life. 3 Bikos of dis, God nor allow rain fall, even for di rite time. With all dis tins, una still dey live una ashawo life and shame nor dey katch una. 4 Una even dey kry to mi naw sey, ‘Yu bi awa papa. Na from small pikin Yu love us kom rish naw. 5 Yu go vex and forget us forever?’ All dis na wetin una dey tok, but una still dey do di bad-bad tins wey dey una mind.” Israel Pipol Nor Get Faith 6 Wen King Josaya dey rule for Judah, God tell mi sey, “Israel pipol wey nor dey faithful, yu si all wetin dem dey do? Dem don waka leave mi kon dey do ashawo for under evry green tree and high hill. 7 I tink sey afta dem do all dis tins finish, dem go kom back kom meet mi, but dem nor kom and dia sista Judah, wey nor dey faithful too, si wetin dem do. 8 I drive Israel pipol, bikos of dia ashawo life, yet en sista, Judah, nor fear, but e kon join dey do ashawo too. 9 Bikos Israel sin nor mean anytin to dem, dem kon kontinue to spoil di land as dem dey woship stones and wood. 10 Even with all dis tins, Israel sista wey bi Judah nor gri turn kom meet mi with all dia heart, but dem just dey pritend.” Oga God don tok. 11 Den God tell mi, “Even doh Israel pipol don turn from Mi, dem still betta pass Judah wey nor dey faithful at-all.”

 

People call prostitution the “oldest work” for this world. For olden days and even today, many women—and sometimes men—use am survive. But Bible no dey hide mouth about wetin God think about am. Proverbs 23:27–28 warn say, “Prostitute na deep pit, and wayward wife na narrow well. She dey hide like thief and she dey increase unfaithfulness among men.” Beyond the physical act, Bible dey use prostitution show spiritual unfaithfulness—wetin happen when God people leave Am go follow other gods, desires or distractions.

Hosea 4:12 talk am strong: “Spirit of whoredom don carry my people go astray, and dem don leave their God go play the harlot.” God no dey talk only about physical sin; He dey talk about spiritual adultery—when Israel begin follow idols, false prophets and foreign gods. This same spirit full our generation today. Many people dey prostitute themselves after trends, doctrines, personalities and movements wey no get anything to do with God. Others dey waka from church to church, denomination to denomination, dey find something wey dem no even fit describe. Wetin exactly dem dey find? Wetin you dey find?

For Jeremiah 3, Judah be like wife wey leave her Husband—God—and go follow many lovers. This matter no be old story; na wetin dey happen today. Like Judah, many believers dey waka up and down, dey chase convenience, comfort or spiritual excitement instead of commitment. We want God blessing but we no want Him Lordship. We want Him promises but we no want Him discipline. We want Him presence but we no want Him standards. Yet, even with our unfaithfulness, God still remain faithful. He dey feel the pain of betrayal, the sorrow of our wandering and the hurt of our divided heart. God no be cold judge; He be loving Papa and Husband wey dey long for reconciliation.

Our generation don build culture of spiritual prostitution. People no dey rooted again; dem dey restless, easily carried away, always dey look for the next “spiritual high.” Some dey look for perfect church—place wey no get wahala, correction or accountability. But dat kain church no dey. Instead make dem grow where God plant them, dem dey uproot themselves every time, and this dey weaken their spiritual foundation.

Judah repentance for Jeremiah 3:10 na just acting. God wey dey see heart expose their pretence. Na so e be with us too. God dey see through our outward holiness, church attendance, religious talk and emotional worship. He know when our heart far from Am.

God forbid prostitution because He know the destruction wey dey follow am. Proverbs 5:3–5 describe how immorality dey sweet for beginning but deadly for end. Na so spiritual prostitution be—new teachings, new experiences, new voices dey sweet for ear, but dem dey lead to confusion, spiritual death and distance from God.

As we dey stray, our heart dey harden. Person fit show for church but nothing dey touch am again. Worship fit dey loud but heart fit dey cold. This na danger of spiritual prostitution: e dey make person insensitive to God.

But Bible message no be condemnation; na redemption. Rahab, the prostitute for Jericho, meet God of Israel and believe. Her faith save, change, and put her inside lineage of Christ. This na hope for every spiritual wanderer. No matter how far person don go, God mercy still big pass am. Him arms still open. Him grace still enough. Him love still strong. As 2 Corinthians 5:17 talk, anybody wey turn to Christ go become new creation.

The call today simple: return. Stay with God. Stop to waka up and down. Stop to chase spiritual excitement and begin pursue spiritual depth. God want faithful bride, no be wandering one.

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. ...
