KEEP YOUR SECRET.

                                 
Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found”. But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.(I Samuel 10:16)

We live in a generation where many do not understand the 'Power of Secret'. Saul told his uncle about the donkeys that were found, but never disclosed to him the encounter he had with Prophet Samuel and the anointing for kingship. 

You see, the world today is full of evil, wickedness, envy and
jealousy. If you don’t know how to control your mouth, you may not live long. Samson told Delilah his secret and that led to his 
downfall and premature death. Joseph told his brothers the secret conversation and dream God showed him instead of 
keeping quiet, which led to a near death experience, imprisonment and all kinds of battles. 

My question today is; who 
have you been sharing your secret plans, dreams and prophesy with? That may be the reason for the unending battles and 
stagnation you are experiencing. Change that bad attitude today.

Learn from Mary, the Bible says in Luke 2:19… “But Mary kept
all these things in her heart and thought about them often”. 
The problem with you is that you can't keep secret. Hear this, a man's secret is where his strength and power lies. There are things you need to keep for the right time.
She did not go about spreading the news but rather kept it in her heart. The more you keep things to yourself, the less envy you attract and the fewer battles you fight. Please be wise!

What can make a man to speak out a secret?
1. Over-excitement: Don't make decision when over-excited, beecause you may not know when you will let the cat out of the bag. Joseph couldn't control his excitement of his dreams, but decided to share with his brothers, not knowing that his beginning of hatred will be from them.

2. Frustration: Don't make decision when you are frustrated. it was frustration that made Samson to disclosed his secret to Delilah. 

1I Kings 20:13-21   Hezekiah welcomed the Babylonian envoys and showed them everything in his treasure houses; the silver, the gold, the spices, and the aromatic oils. He also took them to see his armory and showed them all his other treasures, everything! There was nothing in his palace or kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them........
What! The problem to your downfall is that you trust people easily. Is it wrong to share the testimony of the Lord's doing in your life? Emphatically, No! But there are some people around you who don't deserve to hear your testimony. Then, you keep it and be praising God in your heart. 

Genesis 37:5  One night Joseph had a dream and promptly reported the details to his brothers, causing them to hate him even more. 
Some dreams are not for third party involvement, they are for your hearing alone.  

PRAYER: 
1. Father any way I may have used my mouth to attract battles into my life, deliver me today in Jesus name. 
2. Anyone around my life who is an enemy acting like a friend be exposed in Jesus name.

LISTEN TO GODS' VOICE TODAY

"Today if you hear God’s voice speaking to you, do not harden your hearts against Him, as the people of Israel did when they rebelled against Him in the desert.” (Hebrew 3:15). God speaks to his creation at all times. As we read the bible we see instances where God spoke to unbelievers, example; Saul,  Nebuchadnezzar etc. Jesus spoke to the wind and it obeyed him, He also spoke to the fig tree. How much more you his child. It is an error for you to say you can’t hear his voice.  Jesus speaking in..…John 10:27 said; “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”  As Gods' children, we have the capacity and the ability to hear His voice. But the challenge is; a lot of us do not pay attention and listen to what God is saying. Probably because we are waiting to have the Saul’s encounter of a voice speaking from heaven (Act 9:4). God speaks to us in our spirit with a small still voice. Prophet Elijah had an encounter with this voice… II Kings 19:12 -13 “...and after

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THEIR THREAT

But that it spreads no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. Acts 4:17 There are people who live relatively free from persecution even though they may have experienced some mockery, ridicule or ostracism because of their beliefs. One thing we must never do is to fear punishment or death, although some Christians elsewhere in the world are killed for their faith. From the scriptural text, we noticed that Peter and John were threatened for proclaiming the gospel, but here is their response in Acts 4:20; "Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than Him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard". (NLT) Our goal as believers is to become unshakable in our faith. Peter and John didn't flinch from their responsibility to proclaim salvation in Jesus name even in the face of imprisonment and threats. Yet, in reading this account, we may wonder how we could ever endure persecutio

THE JOY OF SERVING GOD

And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD”. - Joshua 24:15 Joshua certainly understood how joyful it was to serve the LORD. So many do not understand the benefits of serving the LORD. Joshua refused to follow the opinions of the majority of the people but made it his personal decision to serve the Lord with his household. Serving the Lord has to be a personal decision you make with God. Even when others refuse to yield themselves to the work of God because of their ignorance of the blessings of service, you would joyfully make yourself a vessel that God can use at all times because you have understanding of God’s blessings. Few reasons why many do not serve the Lord: 1. They think they don’t have the time. 2. They will do it later. 3. T
