YOU CANNOT BE SILENT NOW.
There are judgments that arrive because wicked men sinned, and there are judgments that arrive because righteous men remained silent.
Hear me carefully: every generation likes to identify its villains, but few generations are willing to confront its silent saints.
We often imagine that the anger of GOD is stirred only by the rebellion of the wicked. Yet Scripture repeatedly reveals a more terrifying reality: GOD is not only offended by the presence of evil; HE is also offended by the absence of righteous men who should be speaking against it.
The harlot will be judged for her immorality, but what of the preacher who saw her destruction and refused to warn her?
The nation will be judged for its idols, but what of the watchmen who noticed the altars being erected and never lifted their voices?
The young men will answer for their compromise, but what of the fathers who preferred peace with men over faithfulness to GOD?
Many of us have mistaken silence for wisdom when GOD calls it cowardice.
You saw error and said nothing.
You watched men merchandise the Gospel and said nothing.
You watched prayer disappear from the Church and said nothing.
You watched the fear of GOD evaporate from the assemblies of the saints and said nothing.
You watched sin become fashionable among believers and said nothing.
And because your hands never touched the corruption, you convinced yourself that you were innocent.
But GOD does not only investigate what a man did. GOD also investigates what a man tolerated.
The watchman in Ezekiel was not judged because he created the danger. He was judged because he failed to sound the trumpet.
This is the deception of passive Christianity. We think we are righteous because we are not participating in darkness, while GOD is asking why we are not confronting it.
The greatest betrayal of truth is not always opposition. Sometimes it is the silence of those entrusted with its defense.
A generation is rarely destroyed because devils became stronger. Generations are destroyed because righteous men became quieter.
The tragedy of our time is not that darkness is increasing. Darkness has always desired to increase. The tragedy is that men who should be groaning between the porch and the altar are busy preserving their reputations. Men who should be crying aloud and sparing not are busy protecting platforms, invitations, and the applause of men.
Beloved, there comes a point where silence becomes participation.
When GOD gives you a burden and you bury it, your silence becomes a vote for the very thing HE sent you to confront.
When GOD gives you a trumpet and you refuse to blow it, your silence becomes partnership with the destruction that follows.
When GOD gives you light and you hide it, you become accountable for the darkness that spreads around you.
May GOD deliver us from the sin of respectable silence.
May HE deliver us from the desire to be accepted by men while nations are perishing.
May HE deliver us from the kind of Christianity that values comfort above obedience to HIS Word.
For on the Last Day, some men will weep because they committed evil.
Others will weep because they watched evil flourish, possessed the truth that could have confronted it, and chose to remain silent.
And in that hour, many will discover that silence was never neutrality before GOD.
It was disobedience.
Jesus never spoke carelessly or negatively.
Every word He spoke carried life, truth, hope, and power.
May our words reflect that same spirit bringing healing, encouragement, and light wherever we go 🙏✨

When you habitually murmur and complain your words actually have an impact on your brain. You create nueral pathways in you that awaken your recognition system to only see what is wrong while eliminating all that is good.
You after sometime simply become incapable of seeing and recognising any good. This is why if a spouse keeps complaining of his or her partner, they lose the ability to see anything good in them while an outsider sees the beauty and recognises benefits in that person.
The complainer has lost the ability to see anything good in their environment and it now seems normal, right and intelligent to see negative things. It has become the norm.
The scripture that states when others say there is a casting down you will say a lifting up. Its two different minds at work.
Jeremiah 17:6 speaks about a man who will inhabit the patched places of the desert for he does not see when good comes. It is not that there is no good. He has lost the ability to see it.
Jeremiah 17:6
"6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited."
THE MATTER IS SERIOUS.
We Can’t Pretend It’s Not.
That’s Why We Can’t Rest. We’ll Keep Raising Our Voices, Keep Fighting This Error Even If It Costs Us Everything.
You May Not Understand Us. You May Even Hate Us.
But One Day… A Generation Will Look Back At Our Scars And Say, “Thank You.”
To Everyone Building CT Naija
Keep Going. Even When It Hurts. Even When It Feels Like No One Sees You.
We Will Get There.
And When We Do, It Will All Be Worth It.
I don't think I've ever understood the Flesh, the Soul, and the Spirit like this before!!
This example is so simple but so powerful! Chai!!
Please watch and retweet! Somebody may need this!

Is this the person they think will drop his not guilty plea and publish a public apology because of torture or the fear of dying in detention? Just listen to him! Sorry ooo! His enemies have "bad market" in him.
