THERE IS POWER IN SILENCE

December 21, 2024 · Projectsave International

Proverb 18:21: Who so keepeth his mouth and his tongue heapeth his soul from troubles.

I once know a man who spoke loudly about his travel plans. Everyone knew his four years plan. All of us anticipated his proposed trip.

Years after, I met someone who knew his traveling plans. I asked to know If he has traveled as proposed. The person said he is still in Nigeria. Further, the person said, "Pst xxx was too loud about his plans to travel".

I have come to learn that not all things should be said or told to everyone except those you have tried and tested over time. People shouldn't know too much about you.

There is a popular statement in church circle that says, "a closed mouth is a closed destiny", but in some instances, “A CLOSED MOUTH IS A SECURED DESTINY”.

If Joseph had kept his mouth shut, probably,  he may have been spared of his too many troubles. It was God's mercies that eventually made his dreams come true.

There are battles that can be avoided if you are silent. Satan doesn't know what you have in mind until you say it. If he does, then he becomes omniscient but we know he is not.

Stop aborting your dreams by telling it to everyone. The demons working with some people makes good plans to be aborted once you tell them.

Also, it is not everything God tells you that everyone must hear. Not all encounters should be shared. Let your results speak for itself.

Learn the power of silence. No one can quote your silence.

Keep your mouth shut!
