Do
not be lost in the crowd. Let your voice be heard. Do not allow your job to
conceal your voice and identity. Do not allow the crowd, the noise and the
hustles of this world silence or kill your voice. Do not allow what you eat,
earn and are being given swallow your voice. There is nothing worse in a man’s
life like going through life without a voice.
Elijah’s
voice was a problem to the enemies and Jezebel was mandated to silence that
voice. She succeeded to a point as Elijah ran away. Remember that Jezebel had
two sides: beauty and evil. It was the evil part that Elijah succumbed to. It
was the beauty part she wanted to use to seduce Jehu in order to silence his
voice, but it didn’t work. Jezebel may come in the form of a job, opportunity,
relationship, etc, and the aim is to silence the voice of a hitherto vibrant
child of God. Is it not true how firebrand brothers cooled off in the air
conditioner of an executive office and all the passion for revival,
soul-winning, and prayers gradually taper off? The devil replaces their voice
with a job. For some, it was relationship that stole their voice. When was the
last time your voice was heard in Heaven (as you prayed, fasted and
interceded), in Hell (as you minister to a perishing soul), in your office?
What has silenced your voice oh brother!
The
move of God is often preceded by the voice of His children. If God must move,
He listens first to whose voice it is. Sadly, some voices are no longer
recognized in Heaven...they have become coarse by the affairs of this world so
much so that they now sound different and worst still, corrupted. Some voices
that use to make heavy reverberations in Heaven have been lost to the financial
markets, and locked up in the oil industries and banks. The search for Daily
bread has choked many voices. But God is giving another chance to as many that
will cry for Him to re-amplify their voices in a world full of noise.
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son
of God: and they that hear shall live” (John 5:25).
God
has made you a voice to a dying and dead world so that by your voice many lost
will hear and find eternal life. Do not allow fear, frustration, money, food,
job, friends, family, relationship and the devil choke your voice or make your
voice sound strange in Heaven. This was what happened to Jacob when his voice
sounded strangely to his father, but he resorted to deception. This is what
many that have lost their voices and lifting strange voices do...they make up
their Christian lives and live in deception.
If
you chose to be silent here, there is no way your voice can be among the
triumphant in Heaven. “And after these
things I heard a great voice of much people in Heaven, saying Alleluia...”
(Revelation 19:1). Will your voice be there? If it is dead here, it cannot
be there then.
Can
you pray with me, “Lord, restore my voice and let it be heard for you even in
the uttermost in Jesus’ name”.
Have
a lifted weekend.
