When God Is Silent (2) -By Gabriel Agbo
Now, when it was time to deliver them, God initiated a very complex divine process for that. A Levite had to marry another Levite. Their baby, when born must be divinely favoured and protected for the midwives and Egyptian enforcers not to kill him. And Pharaoh’s daughter must adopt him into the palace to be raised as a prince that will be trained in all the art and wisdom of Egypt. Wow! Divine networking! Dear, most times we don’t know what it takes heaven to prepare and initiate our deliverance and miracles. Yes, God doesn’t always tell us. All you know is that suddenly help and solution appeared.
God, heaven can become silent on you because of your disobedience, mistakes or failing to follow divine instructions or directions. True. I have personally experienced this. And that was exactly David’s case when he was asking those emotional questions. Yes, that his ever-loving God was still there as he went through those heart-breaking trials, but it will take a while to correct the erring man-after-God heart. God does not compromise his standards. It would take time and process to refocus that original plan that David had carelessly tainted. Many of us today are no more receiving divine directions because we have veered off or ‘damaged’ the original divine plan for our life. Thank God the great David repented and was ultimately restored – spiritually and physically. If you live in sin or in disobedience, heaven will become silent on you matter until you come back. And sometimes, when you eventually make it back, it will be with a lot of indelible scars, wounds and regrets. May God help us! Be careful.
Israel in Egypt
God seemed silent on Israelites until when it was time for him to miraculously pull them out of that terrible, scorching bondage. Timing is very important in divine plan. There was nothing negative that they did not go through in Egypt but nothing substantial was done by heaven until the divine appointed time. You already know that God told Abraham that they would stay four hundred years, plus the thirty years that was eventually added because of Moses’ mistakes I believe. I repeat, divine timing is always very crucial in divine plans and calculations. God looks at him will, time, plan, and purpose more than your emotions, complaints, competitions and tears. True. Just imagine, he was ‘silent’ as the people of God, his most-beloved, treasured nation and project on earth went through that level of painful slavery, maltreatment, forced labour, and the worst, that policy of gradual, systematic annihilation. Remember, because they were still multiplying and prospering in the midst of the oppressions, the king of Egypt in anger, hate and frustration finally ordered that every new-born Jewish male child should be killed or thrown into the Nile to feed crocodiles and other reptiles – the gods of Egypt. And the Almighty God of Israel was still silent, watching? What are you going through now?? Tell me. Your time of deliverance has come! There is always the fullness of time when you are dealing with God. That same ‘Nile’ that is positioned to destroy you will today become your source of protection and elevation in Jesus’ name!

Dear, most times we don’t know what it takes heaven to prepare and initiate our deliverance and miracles. Yes, God doesn’t always tell us. All you know is that suddenly help and solution appeared. Your prayers were answered. Yes, it may be sudden to man, but not to God who sees the end from the beginning, whose council, command works without pausing. Those times you think he was silent was actually when he was initiating, planning and orchestrating the process of your deliverance. When God was doing all these, the Israelites including the parents of Moses didn’t know what was coming. God is coming for you! He is working on your behalf. What you are presently seeing as silence is actually a part of the divine process that has been initiated to deliver and honour you. Something is happening in now the spirit. Please, share this message. We will continue next week. God bless!
