PIDGIN WRITTEN THREATS!

 2 Kings 18–19

 

Imagine say you dey live inside Jerusalem that time wey Sennacherib come lay siege. Fear for don grab everywhere. The Assyrian empire dey known for wickedness—dem don already conquer northern kingdom of Israel and capture plenty strong cities for Judah. Even their reputation alone fit make nation shake. Stories about how dem dey torture people dey everywhere.

Now imagine say na you be King Hezekiah. Big army full outside your gate. Inside the city, people dey panic, food and resources dey reduce, hope dey drop. Then the final one come—written threat. Letter wey full of intimidation, insult, and mockery against God of Israel. No be just political fight—it be spiritual battle.

Plenty of us fit relate to this kind situation. We no dey face army, but we don see things wey look impossible—conditions wey big pass us. Maybe na threatening message, bad medical report, money wahala, broken relationship, or words wey people talk against you. All these na “written threats” wey fit shake your faith.

Wetin Hezekiah do?

Instead of panic or surrender, he carry the letter go house of God. Bible talk for 2 Kings 19:14 say he spread the letter before the Lord. That action powerful well-well—it mean surrender, trust, and total dependence. He no just pray, he present the matter. He dey tell God, “See wetin dem talk. This one pass me—but e no pass You.”

Na big lesson be this. Anytime you face written threats—whether na real paper or life situation—carry am go give God. Spread am before am. No pretend strong, no hide your fear. Pour out your heart.

For ministry, plenty people don bring their own things come altar—bills, eviction notice, threat messages, sickness report, broken dreams—and surrender everything to God. Many times, we don see God move in ways wey human mind no fit explain. Why? Because faith wey trust God fully dey move Him.

Hezekiah no just present problem—he pray. For 2 Kings 19:15–17, him prayer show say he know say God get power pass everything. He no deny the threat, but he lift God above am. He understand say wetin be impossible for man still dey under God control.

God answer through prophet Isaiah. The message clear: God go fight by Himself. Sennacherib insult and pride don provoke heaven. That same night, God strike down 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. Without fight, victory come.

Story no end there. Later, Sennacherib run go house, and as him dey worship for him temple, him own sons kill am (2 Kings 19:36–37). The same man wey threaten nations fall suddenly, just as Isaiah prophesy.

This story dey remind us: God no dey fear threats. God dey see and hear everything. God dey fight for people wey trust Him.

Like Exodus 14:14 talk, “The Lord go fight for you; make you just calm.” And 2 Chronicles 16:9 talk say God dey look for people wey heart correct give am, so Him go show say Him strong for their matter.

Hezekiah win no be by power—but by trust in God. Him life show say sometimes, victory no come by struggle, but by surrender.

Today, wetin be your own “written threat”? Wetin dey speak fear for your life? Na which report, message, or situation dey worry you?

Carry am go give God.

Spread am before am.

Trust am with the result.

And be ready—not just for deliverance—but testimony wey go give God glory.

God still get power. He still dey deliver. And He fit turn every threat to testimony.

PRAYER: O God of heaven armies, thank You say You dey fight my battles and defend me. Arise Lord against every enemy wey dey come against me this year. I surrender every threat into Your hand. Make Your power show for my life and give me victory for Your glory. For 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. ...
