There is an adage in Yoruba that says “if you keep quiet, that which
is in your body will also keep quiet.” I always tell people that doctors don’t
go about knocking on doors asking if there were any sick people in the house,
sick people are the ones to cry out.
When I was younger, I could be feeling intense pain in my body but
would not say it out until one day that I almost lost my life to serious
illness.
In the book of Ezekiel 37, so many things happened, but I just want us
to look at the aspect of the man of God speaking to those dry bones.
In verse 1, the prophet said that the valley was full of bones. Verse 2 says the valley was
dry. Humanly speaking, that valley was useless and good for nothing.
Son of man, can these bones live? Asked God. God is asking you same
question today. Can that business pick up? Can that marriage work? Can that
situation change for the best? god is interested in His children speaking their
desires out, which was why Jesus seeing Bartimaeus blind still asked what he
wanted.
If anything must change, then it must start with you. Those dry bones
might have remained dry had the prophet not spoken life into them. Listen to
me, the bones did not become living souls immediately, but minute by minute,
something was changing until the desired change came because the prophet did
not keep quiet.
God is interested in changing your story, but you must not keep quiet.
Your responsibility is to just speak life into every seemingly dry or dead
situation.
I don’t know who I am talking to, but there is a user of this
devotional who is at a point that looks like all hope is lost. Relax, I have
been asked to tell you, just hold on, don’t stop saying what your desires are,
because that dry situation of yours will receive the breath of heaven and will
come back to life in Jesus Name. Amen!
