So you need a breakthrough?2

“Now the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that the Lord will take away your master from over you today?” So he answered, “Yes, I know; keep silent!”” 2 Kings 2:5

Some people need to be told to keep quiet if you really want to experience a breakthrough. Beware of people who have information but don’t use it to achieve a vision or a goal. Beware of people who have information but do nothing about it. Beware of people who have the correct information but wants to distract you from your main goal. If you make such people your companion, you will lose grip of your vision and be swallowed in their company.

The sons of the prophet knew what Elisha knew but were not willing to do anything about it. In actual fact, they were in a way happy that Elijah was being taken away and Elisha would be stranded. But Elisha quickly silenced them, he was not going to be distracted neither would he be discouraged. Elisha could have started a blaming game and said to Elijah that, “after spending so many years with you why are you not telling me that you would be taken away.” He did not do that, he focused on his expected breakthrough. You may feel good blaming someone but that will not deliver your desire. When you are supposed to look for the information you need for your breakthrough, you are wasting time looking for who to blame if you don’t get the breakthrough. Don’t do that. Silence those voices who might be telling the truth but will prevent you from getting to your destination.

May the negative voices appearing to be good voices be silenced around you in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Every strange voice that wants to hinder my breakthrough, be silenced forever in Jesus name.
