YOU GET STEEZE, BUT "SCAMMERS" DEY ASK YOUR PARENTS OTP

Nehemiah 4:14 – "After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, 'Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.'”

Recently, I was walking down the street when my eyes caught a billboard with a striking message:

" You get steeze, but scammers dey ask your parents OTP ."

At first, I chuckled. It sounded like street slang warning against digital fraud, but then it hit me—this is deeper than just online scams. This is life. This is faith. This is spiritual warfare.

How many of us are out here shining? We’re looking all put together—posting Bible verses, attending programs, serving in church, and speaking Christianese fluently. We’ve got the steeze—spiritual swag, confidence, and charisma. But while we’re flexing, the devil, the ultimate scammer, is busy gaining access to our family’s spiritual inheritance. He’s targeting our parents, siblings, spouses, and children, and because we’re too caught up in our own spiritual appearance, we fail to see the scam happening right under our noses.

In the physical world, scammers trick people into giving away their OTPs—those unique codes that grant access to personal accounts. In the spirit, the OTP represents the keys to progress, glory, and destiny. The devil doesn’t always attack you directly—sometimes, he goes for those closest to you, knowing that if he gets them, he’s already weakened you.

I had to ask myself, Am I standing in the gap for my family? Am I fighting for my loved ones, or am I too busy flexing my own spiritual life while they are under siege?

Nehemiah saw the enemy’s schemes and called the people to action: "Fight for your families." It’s not just about looking strong in the faith—it’s about using that strength to cover those connected to us. If we’re not praying, teaching, and protecting them, who will?

The devil is relentless. His scams don’t stop. He wants to steal the purpose, joy, and salvation of our households. But here’s the truth—he only succeeds when we let him. God has given us the authority to intercede, to build spiritual walls of protection, and to ensure that the enemy never gets access to our family's divine inheritance.

So, let me ask you: While you shine, who’s guarding the OTPs of your family?
