Beatitudes Wey Dey Bless Naija Pipo

My people! Today we go yarn about those Beatitudes wey Jesus talk for Matthew wahala.

As we dey gather here, who no sabi say those nine blessings dey make sense for our lives? E talk about gentle pipo, those wey dey merciful, the peacemakers, and even those wey dey mourn. Na for weddings and funerals, dem dey always carry this gist, especially for people wey no dey even enter church.

Last year, one big journalist, Ross Douthat, drop book wey dem call Believe: Why Everyone Should be Religious. He get mouth, sha! Him talk say plenty people wey no dey believe again dey feel like dem dey lost. Dem wan try religion, but e no gree dey enter their brain. Bishop Robert Barron come dey interview am, and Douthat talk say people fit dey find happiness through God matter.

Na so e be for us wey believe. We dey enjoy our lives because God dey waka with us, no matter wetin we dey face. Douthat advise those wey dey find faith say make dem try perform religious acts, make dem sabi if e go help dem or not. E no even need to decode everything wey dey inside Bible; just dive into the experience and see wetin go happen later.

For second reading, Paul wey dey yarn to Corinthians talk say Christians no be one type. We dey different, fit be brainy or no too sharp; wey fit dey rich or wey dey hustle for street. Wetin matter na say God don choose all of us, wey no fit boast about anything pass am. E be like sports, wey we dey watch. Like now, Novak Djokovic dey win but him dey thank God after every match like say na God dey decide who go win.

But I go yarn wetin happen during that match with Jannik Sinner. Novak get point but him dey play with dignity, come talk say ‘I touch the ball’, so dem give point to Musetti instead. E turn blessed moment because e no be about win or lose. Na so we go remember people wey die, their good acts wey show gentle spirit, mercy, peacemaking, and all the good vibes.

Win, lose or draw, we dey blessed no matter wetin. How happy we go be if we fit recognize the blessings wey life carry come for us! Na so God dey guide us, give bread to the hungry, help the oppressed, raise the downcast and bless the poor in spirit. God dey reign for ever, and dem wey dey poor in spirit, na dem go inherit heaven.
