BROKEN HOUR

Luke 1:18

 Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.” 19 The angel answered, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. 20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their proper time .”
--------------------------------------------
Zechariah and his wife were gone in years. They were not having any child with them as their own. They had prayed for one and somehow given up. Now, an angel came to them with a great promise; they will have a son and will name him John. And that John will do wonders and will be great in the eyes of God . He will also pave way for Jesus that was to be born.
Zechariah well knowing that he was advanced in years doubted the claim. He claimed he can't be sure of this.
To cut his disruptions to God's Devine plans, the angel made him dumb till the plan came to pass. It was a broke hour.

There is something God lets come our way just to pause our souls and let God's plans happen. There is a plan that God sets for you but it may seem too big for you to believe. And that your unbelief could possibly have a negative impact to the plan that God has set. Just to put you aside from God's path , God sets a broken hour...a challenge that puts you into a different mode. 

It is at that point that God is able to reshuffle different elements that will lead you to better place. You may have fallen sick and you are off work; God has seen that the level he is taking you at may need you to develop a character that only works out when you feel sick , bedridden. There is something that is happening to your life not because it is supposed to but because it is a broken hour, a time to reshuffle.
One thing to be sure of is that after such moments, you will be a better person than you were before. If the angel came back again with different news for Zechariah, Zechariah will be quick to believe. He will have understood what believing in unknown is...what blind belief is!
 It shouldn't be in your place to worry when something happens to you. It is in your place to increase belief. Know that it is just a broken hour. There is a time that will come for you to see the goodness of the Lord.

                      GOD BLESS YOU

HOLD IT

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                           HOLD IT   INTRO :  It is easy to go through life and feel embarrassed. And because of such embarrassment, it also easy to feel like throwing out something to compensate for your bad feelings. You feel you should throw out a word at someone, you feel you should throw off the relationship, you feel you should throw off the patience.  There is something that happens behind the scene that we never know about. And if we knew it, we would understand the power of holding it to our selves.   PROB : The problem we have is that we want to seek for compensation in short times, for revenge within no times...and never want to hold reactions for long.   PURP :  To enable us hold our emotions and anxieties in a world of intolerance.       >>> Christ was a man who faced a lot of persecution. He was always sought for by his enemies. They wanted him dead at all cost. Reaching a point of shamelessly paying one of his disciple to bet

THE GREAT BLISS

THE GREAT BLISS Isaiah 42:9  See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” -------------------------------------------- When there is something God is yet to do, He has to get tools within you to accomplish it. And one tool to use in you is the mind you got. God cannot accomplish great things when the mind and heart are stuck in former things...in former years. Before He made Mary have the great son He had to make her forget the former things and focus on the new things. When the Bible clearly says that God has a good plan for us and it assures us that God has no harmful plan for us; this means that what could be holding us back is not up to God!. He has the good plan already. But the nature of our minds may be holding onto the former and never letting it go. Because of the pains you had in the last year, you still revise that and experience pains again.  But there is something new. The Lord has tol
