THIS IS A REALITY, WHICH WE SHOULD ALL BE AWARE OF, HOW MANY OF US REALIZE THIS THAT DUE TO US OPENING OUR MOUTH AND REVEALING TO PEOPLE EVERYTHING ABOUT OUR PLANS, WE HAVE LOST OUR BLESSINGS. UNDERSTAND, MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE NOT BLESSED BECAUSE OF THEIR VERY OWN FOOLISHNESS OR IGNORANCE AND WHEN WE OPEN OUR MOUTH REVEALING AS TO HOW WE WERE BLESSED AND HOW WE RECEIVED WHAT WE HAVE IMAGINE THE FAKE SMILE OF HAPPINESS BUT THE EYES OF JEALOUSY AND ANGER AND HATRED FOR YOU.
PROVERBS 17:28 NIV
EVEN FOOLS ARE THOUGHT WISE IF THEY KEEP SILENT,AND DISCERNING IF THEY HOLD THEIR TONGUES.
HOW TRUE THE ABOVE VERSE SPEAKS EVEN A FOOL IS CONSIDERED WISE WHEN HE SHUTS HIS MOUTH AND HOLDS HIS TONGUE. IT IS ALWAYS WISE TO SEE, HEAR, THINK AND DISCERN WELL. SEE THE CIRCLE YOU ARE IN, HEAR WHAT THEY SPEAK, THINK BEFORE YOU REVEAL OR SPEAK IN RETURN AND DISCERN THE PEOPLE YOU ARE WITH IF THEY ARE YOUR WELL WISHERS, SOMETIMES WE CANNOT TRUST OUR VERY OWN KIN.
IN THE WORD OF GOD WE GET TO READ ABOUT KING HEZEKIAH WHO HAD BEEN HEALED BY GOD AND LIFE EXTENDED FOR ANOTHER 15 YEARS. AT THAT TIME MERODACH - BALADAN THE SON OF BALADAN, KING OF BABYLON, SENT HIM LETTERS AND A PRESENT FOR HIS RECOVERY FROM HIS SICKNESS. WHEN KING BALADAN VISITED HIM, HEZEKIAH PLEASED WITH THEM SHOWED THE KING AND HIS PEOPLE ALL OF THE TREASURES HE HAD IN HIS HOUSE -
THE SILVER, GOLD, SPICES, PRECIOUS OINTMENT, AND ALL THE ARMOURY, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT KING HEZEKIAH DID NOT SHOW THEM.
THEN PROPHET ISAIAH VISITED HEZEKIAH ENQUIRING AS TO WHO THE VISITORS WERE, FROM WHERE THEY HAD COME AND WHAT THEY HAD SEEN IN HIS HOUSE?
SO, HEZEKIAH ANSWERS ALL OF HIS QUESTIONS AND ALSO TELLS HIM THERE WAS NOTHING AMONG HIS TREASURES HE HAD NOT SHOWN THEM.
THEN PROPHET ISAIAH GIVES HIM THE MESSAGE FROM THE LORD OF HOSTS: BEHOLD HE SAYS THE DAYS ARE COMING WHEN ALL THAT IS IN YOUR HOUSE AND WHAT YOUR FATHERS HAVE ACCUMULATED UNTIL THIS DAY SHALL BE CARRIED TO BABYLON;NOTHING SHALL BE LEFT SAYS THE LORD.AND THEY SHALL TAKE AWAY SOME OF YOUR SONS WHO WILL DESCEND FROM YOU, WHOM YOU HAVE BEGET,AND THEY SHALL BE EUNUCHS IN THE PALACE OF THE KING OF BABYLON.”
AND IT DID HAPPEN AS PROPHESIED BY ISAIAH, THOUGH IT DIDN'T TAKE PLACE DURING HIS REIGN BUT IT DID TAKE PLACE. IF YOU READ 1KINGS FROM CHAPTER 39 ONWARDS YOU WILL UNDERSTAND BECAUSE OF THAT MISTAKE HOW DOWNLINE HAD TO SUFFER.
PRAYER: FATHER GOD HELP US TO BE WISE IN EVERY STEP WE TAKE IN OUR LIFE, MAY WE THINK BEFORE WE SPEAK, MAY WE NOT INDULGE IN UNNECESSARY TALKS AND GATHERINGS BUT SPEND TIME IN YOUR PRESENCE AND SPEAK TO YOU RATHER TO THE WORLD OUT THERE. IN JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN AMEN & AMEN.
