Life Changing News
Text: 1 Samuel 10:16
“And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.”
message:
In contrast to our today’s verse of the scripture, you lived a life telling. The result is, you are what you are today for your careless, negligent or innocent running of your mouth.
The Dreams you told your guardians, neighbours and friends have become your greatest undoing.
That’s me!
Are you too?
In 1 Samuel 10 we read that after the prophet Samuel anointed Saul as the first king of Israel, Saul returned to his uncle. While Saul honestly shared that Samuel had found the lost donkeys, he deliberately withheld the life-changing news that he would be king.
The lesson are various. One you cannot lawfully be accused of sealed lips or not saying something when it relates to a choice and discretion that is absolutely yours. You alone have power to keep your mouth closed.
Two, been discreet, saying less instead of more is being circumspect. It is wisdom personified. It is not selling yourself to the air. It is maintaing a fresh air tight compartment in a polluted atmosphere and air space. Stop selling yourself to the air. Keep it. That is why it is called a secret.
Nigeria happened to you because you sold out your dreams, naming your child before you gave birth or knowing whether a boy or a girl. You said but we need to share the kill before we go for the kill-game. Yes, but who is disputing your dreams with you? Are you not a master to what you kept inside you, and have not said? Once said, you become the slave of that which you have confessed.
Keep your joker and check up cards in life changing news to yourself. It is for you, and not them, that is why the revelation was to you not to any other person. Apostle Paul had many in his entourage but it was his name that was called, that he heard, and only him was to do, and did! If it is for you, then it is exclusively yours to the exclusion of all others.
Every lizard belly is on ground. They are nodding their head, but who knows the one with stomach pain?
If snake had not remain subtle, she would not have been so deadly in her markmanship.
Joseph got into trouble because he told his dreams of dreams, first to his brothers who hated him the more, and to his father, and mother, both of who perished-buried the thought of his dream ever happening. These saw and kept Joseph in avoidable wilderness the next 13years. You may not carry Joseph grace, to recover!
Woman have womb, that is why we call her woman. Man don’t have womb, so we dont ask them to carry pregnancy. Those you told your dreams are not likely to have womb or the womb to carry your dream. If you give them, they will abort it, or still birth it.
Beloved, the heart of man is desperately wicked. If the living child is not their’s, they are ready to have the baby sawn asunder into two equals, so that yours dies as theirs!
Your Life Changing News as nectars will attract insects, and in particular the bees. By the time they finished with you, you may have no seed for your next sowing. No sowing today, no harvest tomorrow.
Keep your Life Changing News to yourself
