Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God spoke at RCCG Special Online Sunday Service. They continued with their series GOING HIGHER and read from 1 Kings 18:42-44.
He revealed that we need to learn that we must not share our testimony until it is complete. In 1 Kings 18:1, Elijah was told by God to show himself to Ahab and He will send rain. He kept quiet about it. There was a contest on Mount Camel and God won, then Elijah opened his mouth and said that he heard the sound of abundance of rain. The first contest was easy, it was easy because when He said “the God that answers by fire, let Him be God,” the prophets of Baal said “Okay, try your God and we try our god”. After Satan lost the first battle, Elijah announced what he heard and kept his mouth shut until the rains fell.
According to him, the Bible tells us that Daniel prayed and fasted for 21 days before his answer could come because there was a prince of the devil that blocked the answer. “Don’t share your testimony until it is complete,” he said. That is why when women expecting the fruit of the womb go to their Convention, they prayed knowing God has answered the prayer. When they return the next year pregnant, they do not call them out to testify because it is in their tradition not to do so. They only call forward those whose children have arrived. “Many people have lost their miracles because they spoke too soon,” he said.
