LEARN TO SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
"But the angel said, Don't be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife Elizabeth, will give you a son..."(Luke 1:13,NLT) Some people pray for praying sake. They have no expectations and thus do it as a form of duty and a matter of religiosity. But prayers are meant to be answered and God wants to. Zechariah had been praying all his life for just one thing from God; that is a child. Now an angel appears to him with an assurance that, his prayers have been heard and answered. But look at his reaction: "Zechariah said to the angel, How can I be sure this will happen? I'm an old man now, and my wife is also well along in years"(V18). By this response, does it mean he had prayed for fun? He doubted the very word from God. "But now, since you didn't believe what I said, you will be silent and unable to speak until the child is born..."(V20) He faced the consequences. God may have to do some people a favor and shut their mouths before they ruin their destiny! AB@TWD
