PIDGIN WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

 Exodus 32:26 “So Moses stand for di kamp gate kon shaut sey, “If yu dey God side, make yu kom meet mi.” Den Levi tribe gada go meet am.

 

“Which side you dey?” No be just question wey Moses ask the Israelites—na the same question the Spirit of God dey ask every believer today. For every area of life, sides dey. Family go expect loyalty, friends go demand allegiance, workplace go require commitment, and society go pressure you to choose one side over another. But above all these voices, na the voice of the Lord of Hosts dey ask the most important question: You dey the Lord’s side?

Every day, whether we know or not, we dey choose sides. Sometimes we choose convenience, comfort, emotions, or wetin people go like. Other times we choose people just to avoid wahala. But God no dey ask for half‑hearted loyalty—He dey ask for complete allegiance.

When Moses come down from Mount Sinai see say the people don dey worship golden calf, he stand for the camp gate shout, “Who dey the Lord’s side?” No be casual invitation—na call to separation, courage, and loyalty wey no dey shake. Na only the sons of Levi step forward. Dem choose God even when e no sweet, no popular, and even dangerous. Their decision show say God fit trust them.

To dey the Lord’s side no dey always easy. E fit mean say you go stand alone, people go misunderstand you, or you go take actions wey challenge the culture around you. E fit mean say you no go bow to idols—no be golden calf this time, but modern idols like money, fame, relationships, career, pleasure, or self‑will. Idolatry today dey hide inside priorities, desires, and habits. Anything wey take God place for your heart don turn idol.

Many believers enter idolatry not because dem reject God, but because dem no wan take stand. Dem drift. Dem compromise. Dem try serve God and serve themselves at the same time. But Jesus talk clearly for Matthew 12:30: “Anybody wey no dey with Me dey against Me.” No middle ground. Revelation 3:15‑16 warn say lukewarm life—standing for the middle—no dey acceptable to God. Na either the Lord’s side or no side at all.

Many times we dey ask, “God dey my side?” But Scripture show say na wrong question. For Joshua 5:13‑14, when Joshua meet the Commander of the Lord’s army, he ask, “You dey our side or our enemies’ side?” The answer shock person: “No.” Meaning, “I no come take sides—I come take over.” God no dey support personal agenda. Instead, He dey call us to align with Him will, purpose, and kingdom.

Romans 8:31 assure us say God dey our side—but na when we dey Him side. God no dey take side against Him Word, principles, or Him righteousness. When we stand with Am, He stand with us. When we choose Him side, we dey waka inside Him protection, peace, and victory.

To choose the Lord’s side mean:

- Stand for truth even when lie dey popular 

- Choose holiness when compromise easy 

- Obey God even when obedience dey cost you 

- Put Him kingdom above personal ambition 

- Say “yes” to Him will even when you no understand 

The Levites choose God that day, and God choose them forever. Their loyalty open door for priesthood, service, and generational blessing. Your decision today carry the same weight. Heaven dey watch. Hell dey watch. The world dey watch. Which side you dey?

No be question to answer anyhow. Na question wey require action, surrender, and daily commitment. God dey call Him people to take stand—not for religion, not for convenience, but for Him.

Which side you dey?

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

·       Which area of my life dey show divided loyalty between God and other things? 

·       When pressure come, I dey choose God will or wetin dey comfortable? 

·       Wetin I fit do this week—publicly and privately—to stand for the Lord’s side?

PRAYER: Oh Lord, help me always choose the right side—Your side—because na there my hope, peace, and victory dey. Make You strengthen my heart to stand with You boldly, faithfully, and consistently. 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. ...
