Be sensible
and don’t tell everything you know... (Proverbs 12:23 CEV).
When you
walk with the Lord, He gives you visions for your future; visions about your
life, the things He wants to accomplish with you and through you. He causes you
to see into the future so you can head for that future. Everybody may not see
what you see, or know the future God is guiding you into. But some people try
to tell everybody what God is showing them about their future. That’ll be a
mistake, except if He’s the one leading you to talk about it.
Understand
that Satan doesn’t know what you see, until you tell him; he doesn’t know
everything. When he hears about what you see, then he starts scheming how to
work out a plan to try to stop you. There’re people who, because they couldn’t
keep certain things to themselves, lost the beautiful idea they received from
the Spirit. Once they got the idea for something, they started telling people
about it, and Satan got wind of it and devised means to stop the idea from
materializing. Don’t give him that chance.
Our theme
verse says, “Be sensible and don’t tell everything you know....” Don’t always
tell your plans to non-Christians. Whatever idea God gives you, get started
with it first before talking about it; or else you may never start. It’s not
because the people that know about your vision or even the devil can stop you;
no. It’s because there’s a spirit that works with them; they may exude a
certain kind of negativism that could dampen your zeal for what God wants you
to do, if you’re not careful. So, be spiritually smart. The Bible says, “Watch
your words and hold your tongue; you’ll save yourself a lot of grief” (Proverbs
21:23 MSG).
PRAYER: Dear
Father, thank you for the visions of the great future that you have for me. My
heart is flooded with light to see, comprehend, and apprehend my glorious
destiny in Christ. I follow the leading of the Holy Spirit as He unveils His
plans and strategies to me in executing the ideas you give me for success in
life and ministry, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
