I so love this chapter of Luke because of the what transpired between Zechariah and The Angel of God as it regards them having a child.

Zechariah and his wife had no child but it didn't stop their devotion to God, one day an angel appeared and told him his wife will conceive and bear a child. This man has gotten so used to his predicament and probably accepted the fact that they may never have a child, so this made him doubt and question what God said.

Most of us are in the same predicament, some are sick, broke, unmarried, barren and have accepted doctor's report, believed economic analysis of why you should remain broke, made peace with the fact that they will have to live an average life, hence disbelieving what God promised in the bible.

What transpired between The Angel and Zechariah was so exciting..

God was about doing something good and precious but this man's unbelief influences his words too and the bible said in Prov. 18:21 that

Life and death is in the power of the tongue

Also said in Num. 14:28

As you have spoken into my ears, so will i do unto you..

So The Angel to preserve the blessing coming had to make Zechariah dumb so that no more negative words will come out of his mouth and destroy things. He was dumb till his wife delivered.

What has God promised you in the scripture, be rest assured He will perform. But we have to tame our tongue, SPEAK WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE AND NOT WHAT YOU ARE SEEING

Importantly

Do not dig up in doubt what you had planted in Faith.

God bless you all.
