working [Music] well all welcome to the service of tonight and i want to say happy new month to everyone and this month is the month of double grace and i pray that god almighty will multiply his grace upon our lives in the mighty name of jesus please we can have our city [Music] tonight i just want us to fasten our seat belts and let us receive of the lord i know that for the past few weeks or probably about two months now god our pastor and the other ministers that have been ministering on this pulpit has been talking about prayer prayer prayer prayer and we know that we have learned so many ways of how to pray we have learned the modules the strategies and also we have seen examples of people that prayed in the bible and we have seen how god answered their prayers and i know that many of us we have testimonies of how god has been answering our prayers and we are grateful unto god for that praise the living god hallelujah i just want us to have a word of prayer our father tonight as we listen to your word give us understanding open our hearts to receive of you in the mighty name of jesus further make our heart a fatal ground for your world and let your word germinate and bear fruits in our lives in jesus name thank you turner of of ages in jesus name we are praying amen tonight i just want to talk about when god is silent when god is silent like i mentioned earlier we have learned about prayers you know we've been talking about prayers for the past few weeks of the past two months but when god is silent even after all our prayers all the vigils all the fasting and praying all the deliverances and all the spiritual exercise that we go through and god is silent what happens praise the lord i just want you to realize that the fact that god is silent does not mean that he is absent so any time that you feel or you heard god's silence and you feel his absence what do you do trust is precious because god is ever present he's the present god is the president helping in the times of trouble you might feel that he is silent but always working and when you think that god is silent don't think that he has forgotten you and don't be angry about it and don't think that god has forsaken you or god does not care but what god is doing is that many times he's hiding behind the scene and he is rearranging your life and he's putting everything together for you so that when the time comes he will reveal his plan and his purpose for you then you will realize that that time that you feel that god is silent he is actually working i know that there is this song but i'm not too good in music but this song that we usually think that even though i don't see you even though i don't feel you but you keep on walking [Music] you will never stop walking he's always working praise the lord praise the living jesus now sometimes when we think that god is silent he may have spoken and we don't know [Music] one of those instances is when god spoke and we have not recognized it in the book of job 33 13-14 job 33 13-14 why do you contend with him for he does not give an accounting of any of his words for god may for god may speak in one way or in another yet man does not perceive it so sometimes when we think that god is silent we think that god has not spoken he may have actually spoken but we may not have recognized it just as it is in that scripture i know that some of us may be testifying to what i'm saying because sometimes after all things being said and what you are trusting god for has now happened when you look back you may realize that god spoke actually i just did not recognize his voice and that is why it is important as a christian to learn and to know how god speaks to you god speaks in diverse ways if i decide to speak between a small still voice through vision true dream through circumstances through situations even through a fellow human being we need to recognize how god speaks to us so sometimes you may have spoken but you fail to recognize another time may be when god has spoken but you haven't responded to it sometimes because we don't like what is said or we feel that what is said did not make sense so you decided to do what develop a tough skin to whatever god said and you say he has not spoken let's look at ezekiel 3 3 ezekiel chapter 3 verse 3 and he said to me son of man feed your belly and fill your stomach with this crow that i give you so i asked and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness this was ezekiel god told him to eat school school is like a paper but does that make sense that's not food i'm sure that many of us even if it's me i would love like get behind me satan this is not good i would like each george's book but he held in obedience and he was sweet in his mouth same way if god has spoken to us and we felt that we don't like what he said many times we pretend that people did not hear and we said that god has not spoken and this normally happens in relationship especially many times when people want to get married because a lot of people have a mindset of who they want to get married to every sister wants to marry tall slim and some dark brother so when the short brother that is very fear comes from the east shore god that's not spoken sometimes it may be your job you are trusting god for a job and god is telling you take this one don't take that one but because you have a mindset of how much you want to be earning in a month you have a mindset of the type of job you want it may not be the right time to get that kind of a job and god is asking you to take another one but you feel no god has not spoken and you feel god is silent sometimes he has spoken but you just did not respond another time god may have spoken but you are not just ready to hear his answer let's look at john 16 12. you just decided not to you don't want to hear what he said i still have many things to say to you but you cannot bear them now god spoke i wanted to speak but because your hearts are heavy because you feel you are not ready for what he wants to say you don't want to hear then you say that god has not spoken you you conclude that god is silent he may not be the case he may not it may just be that you are not ready to hear what he wants to say sometimes we are praying and we are afraid that what if god said that i don't want to listen no i don't want to hear it i will still go back to marriage issues many of our youths have been there before god wants to speak to you instead of you to take your time and pray on that brother on that sister you kneel down but your mind is not in that prayer because you don't want to hear you are scared that god will say go ahead my daughter and because you don't want [Music] you you use cutting woo to block your hairs so god may have god may have spoken [Music] but you are not ready to hear and you say that god is silent sometimes when we say god is silent it's not actually silence he may have spoken i'm not saying this in all cases they are spoken i'm still coming to that but some instances god spoke but because of the hardening of our hearts we're not ready to listen and god will help us in jesus name even if we feel that he is not speaking we need to trust in his character and his nature remember the goodness that god has done for you in the past dwell on that and know that this god that has done that for you and we do it again and we speak you just need to be attentive and trust in him praise the lord hallelujah now there are some reasons why god may decide to keep silence i cannot exhaust those reasons but i just have a few here that i feel may be the reasons why god is silent at times the first one is that god may want to test your faith he may want to test you you know and want to know whether you are able to trust him to the end let's look at deuteronomy 8 verses 2 to 3 deuteronomy 8 223 this is the story of the israelites because for for some time god was silent he took them through the wilderness he he closed his eyes to them and it allowed them to pass through difficult situations but he gave them the reason he said and you shall remember that the lord your god led you all the way these 40 years in the wilderness to humble you and test you to know what your what was in your heart whether you will keep his commandments or not verse three so he humbled you allow you to hunger and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your father know that it might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the lord god may want to test your faith he may want to know whether you can trust him all the way maybe the reason why he decides to keep silent you will not speak it will take you through those periods those two testing times those wilderness just to test you say for example father abraham god was silent for a long time at a time he will speak at a certain time he will speak another time he will keep quiet there was a time he sent the three angels to him when sarah was laughing you know god took him through all this period just to prove he wants him to prove to him that he can trust him all the way at a time his faith was shaking just like many of us we are all human beings sometimes when we go through this wilderness our faith may be shaken abram's face was shaking and that was why he accepted sarah's suggestion you know to have a child through a guy but gusty told him that is not my promised child he kept quiet again until when it was time and god was able to beat his chest and say yeah abraham i can trust him and that's why today abraham is the father of faith so sometimes god may be silent because he wants to test us we want to test our faith we want to be sure that we can trust him all the way although to us during those periods those wilderness period it may be a long stretch time but remember the bible says that a thousand years before god is like a night second peter 3 8 second peter 3 8 but beloved do not forget this one thing that with the lord one day as a thousand years and a thousand years has one day it may it may look like a long silence to you it may be one year two years three years one decade two decades three decades but to god it's just like a second and that's why during that period what do you do trust in him praise the lord so what is the other reason that god may be silent [Music] it may be that god is cooking your testimony because god does not offer people meat cooked food like when we go to restaurants and they are doing they are making your food they actually do want it to be cooked well cooked or medium i know that we're africans we always say yeah well cooked so that is how god treats us it doesn't give us medium cooked he doesn't give us half big testimony so when god is silent he may be that is cooking your testimony so that when the time arrives everywhere we see that this is the lord it is the lord's doing and it is marvelous in our sight remember i said that many times god stands behind the scenes rearranging your life so that when that time comes he will unfold his plans for you and god will do that for us in jesus name isaiah 42 8 the bible says that god will never share his glory with any man and that is my third point the third reason why god may be silent because he wants you to exhaust all your options so that all the glory will be his own he never share his glory with any man many of us when we pray we already have plan b c d e if one does not work i'll put the second one in place i'll put the touch strategy in place and god will be watching you he wants you to exhaust all your options then it will show up at the last minute so that when this testimony comes you are not going to sh he's not going to share that glory with any man it won't be if not for that my uncle no it won't be if not for that my sister no it's going to be yes this is the lord's doing and it is marvelous in our sight so sometimes when god is silent you feel that is not speaking he does not answer your prayer it may be that he wants you to exhaust all your options so that all glory can be returned to him praise the living jesus in the case of anna when anna was thrusting off for a child just one you know i made felinia he was just giving back almost every year and he was making trouble with her anna used to go to shiloh every year to cry on god but those period was as if god was silent it was as if god is absent it was as if god is not speaking [Music] until one day when god decided to speak and spoke to a lie prophet eli and that was the breakthrough that she had after somewhere she had other children look at the kind of child that god gave to anna somewhere the great prophet it was because god did not want him to just have any child [Music] god was cooking a testimony and many of us had about the children of belia no but samuel was a great prophet he was an instrument in the hand of god he was a child that at a tender age he had the voice of god that was the kind of god the kind of child that god was cooking and preparing for anna so sometimes when god is silent you feel is not speaking he might be cooking your testimony hallelujah amen and also when god is not speaking what might be the reason [Music] god's time is the best god may not speak but he will speak in his own time the bible says in isaiah 55 8 your ways are not my ways my thoughts are not your thoughts nor are your ways my way says the lord so what you feel that when you feel that god must speak now now i need that thing god may decide to keep silence because that was that is not his own time it may be your time but it's not god's time and we know that god's time is perfect in the book of ecclesiastes 3 verse 1 the bible says that in his time god has made all things beautiful he has made everything beautiful in his time also he has put eternity in their hearts except that no one can find out the work that god does from beginning to end in his time he makes all things beautiful so it might be your own time but may not be god's time and god will not be rushed above his own time amen so when god is silent just wait on him he wants to do it in his own time so that his name can be glorified in john 29 11 it says that the thoughts that i have sorry jeremiah 29 11 jeremiah 29 11 the thought that i have towards you they are the thoughts of peace and not evil forgive you a future and hope another another version says to give you an expected end unexpected end the end that we glorify him the end that will even be beyond your own reasoning beyond your own expectation it does everything in his own time so when you think god is silent relax trust in him he's doing it in his own time amen god will help us in jesus name now when god decides to be silent he doesn't want to speak what should we do as children of god you've been waiting on god for one thing or the other you have trusted god as if the word is collapsing on you it's as if the heaven is shot over you it's as if god is not there you feel neglected you think god has forsaken you you feel that you can't make it you are tired of life you have prayed you have fasted you have had agreement pray all mentors of prayers that you know remain prayer praise worship intercessory prayer suppose suppose um [Music] supplication prayers all kinds of prayers we have our thanksgiving prayers and still nothing has shifted still you can't see the brake lights it's a safer in the dark tunnel what do you do [Music] in that period of wilderness number one examine yourself just to do your own part and be sure that oh i'm not the one that is an obstacle to my miracle i'm not the one that is blocking my miracle check yourself is there any unconfession is there anything that you have done that you feel oh it might be passing this examine yourself in the book of psalms 66 18. psalm 66 18. the sermon says that if i re if i regard iniquity in my heart the lord will not answer me so that is the number one step check yourself have i done anything wrong if you discover anything like that confess forsake and ask god for forgiveness god is a loving god it's only that i cannot behold sin once you confess and you decide to forsake them and ask god to help you definitely he will forgive and he will forget um like i mentioned that god cannot you know he cannot behold sin even on the cross of calvary he could not look he had to turn his face away from his only begotten son jesus christ why because at that time on the cross jesus was carrying the sin of the world and god turned away his face and that period god was silent to the extent that jesus christ in agony in agony he had to lament in matthew 27 46 my god my god why have you forsaken me if god can do that to jesus on the cross then you know that he doesn't like sin he loves jesus of course because he loves his only begottens he loves the world he sent his only begotten son but because at that time he was carrying the sin he turned his face away so please if you feel god is silent or you're experiencing a wilderness period check yourself examine yourself and ask god to forgive you if you realize that there is one way or the other that you are not living right and the second one is accept god's authority when god is silenced in your wilderness accept god's authority god is the suffering god [Music] he does what he wants to do you cannot question him he is an unquestionable god [Music] he is not under any obligation to talk it's not any other obligation to speak he does what he wants to do in his time he says in his word i will show mercy upon whom i will show mercy and i will have compassion upon whom i want to have compassion that is our god so at that time just accept god's authority and trust in him and even accepting his authority is also meaning that you have absolute trust in god instead of continue to instead of keeping questioning him god why me god why me god why me every time trust in his sovereignty trust in him trust in his decision at that time recognize the authority of god in the book of job 13 15 job said don't escape me yet when i trust him even so i will defend my own ways before him that was job we all knew the story of job everyone every time anybody is going through one thing or the other we want to preach to that person story of job that would be the first thing to share with them remember job remember how many of us knew what job went god forbid we cannot go through one address of the things that job went job went through but for the first about 36 or 37 chapters of the book of job god kept quiet he did not speak to the extent that even his wife asked him to cause god and die [Music] because he was not hearing god god was not speaking was going through trouble and spirit he was going through that situation that difficult time that wilderness period god did not speak for god when god was ready to speak he spoke and god rearranged his life and gave him double portion multiples of what he lost when god does not speak when god is silent accept his authority hallelujah number three what do we do when god is silent listening to what god say is not every time god should be talking you can also talk to god or listen how true is what let it be that period that you are searching the word of god you are meditating on the word of god let it be that time that you are studying more of the word of god let it be that time that you are asking god god show me from your word the reason why i'm passing through this and you will find comfort in the word of god instead of grumbling and complaining i'm being i'm being bitter about the whole situation you're trying to put your you know try to find fault in everybody looking for [Music] looking for people that are causing your problem because some people when they go through problem they feel they believe that every other person has caused them or have caused them to be in that situation don't do that let the bible be your friend during that period seek god study the word of god find comfort in the word of god and god will help in jesus name two more reasons when god is silent what do you do at that time when god is silent silence can mean intimacy maybe god just decided to romance with you god just wants to you just want to be silent you know that sometimes when two people that are in love with each other they might be beside each other for hours and not talk because they are in love that silence alone is confidence that silence alone is comforting that silence alone is trustworthy so sometimes it may be a sign of intimacy with god god is just enjoying that silence just enjoying you just to be with him praise the lord and also at that time it may be the time that you can trust that god can trust in you you know that time may be a sign of god's trust in you god knows that if i keep silent at this time this person is able to undo greater revelation and he just kept quiet watching you because it's the way that you you you respond or the way that you react during that time you know we decide whether god wants to give you a greater revelation or not praise the lord and remember delay is not denier amen delay is not denier god may just want to trust in you and because he trusted you he might decide to just choose you at that time and watch what will happen look at job 1 8 [Music] god decided to choose job he decided to choose job to go through the affliction because he trusted in him he know he knew that if he knew he boasted about job to satan and he knew that this job even whatever the satan would do to him he would still trust in me praise the lord so when god is silent might be a sound of intimacy with him and lastly when god is silenced what do we do keep talking to god don't stop keep praying keep praising him keep studying the bible do not stop [Music] trusting him because he is the god that answers prayer and unto him shall all flesh come during the time of your wilderness and you feel god silence is not speaking don't stop talking continue praying continue praising if you are tired of praying praise him and god will strengthen you from the inner man and his grace will be sufficient and when he finally speaks you are going to be dumbfounded because what he's going to do the bible says eyes i've not seen neither have he has had what god is about to do for those that trust in him and for those that love him praise the lord when god is silent it doesn't mean he is absent and when you feel that he is silenced you are feeling his absence what do you do trust in his presence and the lord will help us in jesus name shall we pray i want us to thank god for this time i know that some of us may be going through wilderness but the bible says that in every situation we should give thanks to him whatever thing we are passing through at this time we feel that god is silent we feel that god is not speaking we feel abandoned we feel neglected thank god it doesn't matter what you feel but what god is going to do is going to be beyond your expectation father we are grateful we are grateful like job said don't enslave me i will still trust in him father though we pass through fires we pass through water we pass through wilderness we still trust you because we know that your your thoughts was us at the thoughts of good and not evil to bring us to an expected end we thank you father because you

who he is he is truly a waymaker he can make a way in the wilderness he can create waters in the desert so that god at the end of the day he wants to put you on top the bible says that even when you
