PIDGIN ABUSE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!

 Psalm 10:17–18 “Oga God, na Yu bi di hope wey poor pipol get. True-true, Yu go hear dia kry kon konfort dem. 18 Yu go judge well for shidren wey nor get papa and mama and doz wey dem dey opress, so dat wiked pipol nor go ever treaten dem again.

 

Abuse na when person, group or even religious organisation use power, position, knowledge, trust or relationship take press another person down. Abuse na the wrong use of wetin person get—strength, influence, information or spiritual authority—to harm, control, silence or reduce another human being. Abuse no ever dey harmless; whether person do am by mistake or on purpose, e dey wound deep. E dey scatter person emotion, identity, confidence and spiritual wellbeing. E fit break spirit, kill self‑esteem and twist how person see imself. Abuse no dey acceptable at all.

Plenty people dey live inside abuse and dem no even know. Some don accept am because na wetin dem grow up with. Others keep quiet because of shame, fear or loyalty. Even inside church, many children of God dey suffer quietly because dem believe say na part of Christian suffering. But God no ever call Him children to remain inside bondage. Abuse no be love, no be loyalty, no be sacrifice, and e no be the will of God.

Abuse get many types: physical, emotional, mental, verbal, sexual, financial and even spiritual abuse. Physical abuse na the one wey everybody dey see, but emotional and spiritual abuse dey leave wound wey deep pass. Bible talk clearly against oppression. Colossians 3:19 warn husbands make dem no treat their wives harshly, and Colossians 3:21 warn parents make dem no provoke or break their children spirit. Any abuse for house dey against God plan for family.

Bible still expose abuse inside religious places. Ezekiel 34:1–4 rebuke shepherds wey dey use, neglect or dominate the flock. Jesus too condemn leaders wey dey put heavy load on God people (Matthew 11:30). Spiritual authority suppose protect, guide and lift people up—no be to control, manipulate or shame dem. When person wey suppose care for you turn to the one wey dey hurt you, the pain dey deep because the betrayal na spiritual.

If the person wey suppose protect you na im dey abuse you, who you go run to? You go run to the Lord wey dey see, hear and deliver. Psalm 10:17–18 assure us say God dey hear the cry of the oppressed and He go bring justice. Abuse no be your portion. Jesus die to save, heal and set captives free (Luke 4:18–19). No human being get right to bind, belittle or break you. To remain inside abuse dey reduce the sacrifice of Christ wey come give you freedom, dignity and abundant life.

John 8:36 talk say, “If the Son set you free, you go truly free.” Freedom na your inheritance. Christ dey call you comot from abuse, toxicity, fear, confusion and emotional prison. He dey invite you enter peace, wholeness, honour and blessing. You deserve safety. You deserve respect. You deserve love wey reflect God heart.

Nobody get right to make another person feel small, worthless or powerless. As believers, God command us to support the weak, encourage the fainthearted and help those wey no fit help themselves (1 Thessalonians 5:14). We suppose stand with people wey dey abused, speak for dem and help dem build boundaries and standards wey go remind dem of their worth for God eye.

If you dey inside abusive relationship, find help. Talk to person wey you trust. Meet spiritual leaders wey get integrity. Psalm 118:7 remind us say God dey your side. Surround yourself with healthy, covenant friendships—people wey go support your healing and help you align with God Word.

God vision for your life dey for 1 Peter 2:9–10: chosen, royal, holy, treasured, safe, valued and alive. Abuse dey fight everything wey God talk about you. You no fit walk fully inside your identity if you dey under oppression.

We no dey responsible for another person behaviour. Everybody go answer to God for their actions. Nobody get right to pour their anger, insecurity or brokenness on another person (Luke 6:31). Proverbs 12:2 warn say anybody wey hide wickedness under religion, professionalism or friendship go face God judgment.

Domestic abuse dey come like cycle. Even when help show, fear of loneliness, money wahala, single parenting or shame fit keep person trapped. But Galatians 5:1 warn us make we no go back to slavery. Christ don set you free—walk inside that freedom.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

• How I don take normalise or excuse abusive behaviour toward myself or others? 

• Wetin be the boundaries or support systems wey I need to put in place to walk inside the freedom wey Christ give me? 

• How I fit support person wey fit dey suffer abuse quietly?

PRAYER: Lord, set me free from anything wey dey abuse me, and give me courage to walk inside the freedom wey You buy for me. Heal every wound, restore my identity, and help me make I no abuse anybody in any form. 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. ...
