Why did God silence the mouth of Zachariah

The Angel Gabriel tells the priest Zachariah in Luke 1:18-19 that he is going to have a son. But Zachariah demanded proof, and as a result, God took Zachariah's voice and fulfilled the prophecy. The message makes it clear that Zachariah is punished for his lack of faith.

This is similar to Paul's situation. He couldn't see anything. Jesus temporarily blinded him so that he could see the truth (Act 9: 9). Nebuchadnezzar, too, went insane until he humbled himself (Daniel 4: 28-34). That was the case with Zechariah. He questioned the truth, so he was silenced until he believed the prophesy, and after that, he was allowed to speak again.

Lack of belief in God's things is a terrible and dangerous thing to have. We are unable to enjoy a relationship with God if we do not believe in the things of God. Unbelief also prevents us from receiving God's promises in our lives.

Most importantly, if you don't believe, you won't be able to receive the Lord's salvation, which will keep you from perishing. Our tongue has the ability to bring light and darkness into our lives. In any case, we should be cautious about speaking.

We reach the conclusion that the punishment is intended to put an end to the disbelief and that it is lifted once the disbelief has passed. This has the added benefit of attesting to the truth. Because he was able to speak immediately after saying, "His name is John". A direct correlation that speaks to the validity of Gabriel's vision. When God asks us to do something, we should be humble and willing vessels.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

Warning from God: Take your calling very seriously!!!

Imagine the consequences if Jesus Christ had not embraced the mission on earth that he was given by the father (John 6:38). Imagine what could have happened to millions of souls. Consider what could have happened to the Israelites if Moses had never taken his calling seriously when God called him to deliver the Israelites from Egypt (Exodus 3:10). God has invested something in you, and it takes you to pray and discover what he has invested in you. Some of you God gave you the anointing of healing, but you aren’t even aware. Millions of souls are lost out there, and this situation requires you and me to take our calling very seriously. So many people are dying in hospitals from cancer, diabetes, and other diseases, while you are ignoring doing the will of the father, and you expect things to go well with you. Certainly, not everyone is destined for the same path, as God has assigned us various missions and duties. The key here is to discover your true identity. When you don't take ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
