When God Is Silent
Message Moments & Highlights
Was it a blessing for Joseph to be thrown into a pit, sold as a slave, or falsely accused and imprisoned? No—but it was the path God used to shape him. Ps Pedro shares a powerful truth: not everything that feels like a blessing looks like one. Sometimes, the hardest seasons are the ones God uses to refine, prepare, and position us for purpose. Trust the process—God is still in control.
God’s silence often means He’s at work behind the scenes—arranging people, relationships, and circumstances for His divine purpose. Ps Pedro reminds us that even in the life of Jesus, John the Baptist had to prepare the way, and even Judas had a role. When it feels quiet, trust that God is setting the stage.
When God is silent, it doesn’t mean He’s forgotten—it means He’s working according to His timing. Ps Pedro reminds us that Isaac, the promised blessing, came not by force but by faith, and in God's perfect moment. If you’re waiting on a promise, don’t settle for less. Isaac is coming—but only in God’s time.
Ps Pedro shares a deeply personal testimony of grief and faith—losing a child after five months due to cancer. Through heartbreak and silence, he and his wife were shaped by God to become who they are today. We don’t always get answers, but as Ps Pedro reminds us, the just shall walk by faith—even when God is silent.
When God Is Silent
In this heartfelt message, Ps Pedro reflects on the testing seasons of life when God seems silent. Drawing from the stories of Joseph, Mary, Samuel, and Jesus, he reminds us that God’s silence does not indicate His absence. Rather, it is a divine pause in which God is actively preparing the vessel—us—for His purposes.
Ps Pedro shares from his own life, including painful moments of loss and uncertainty, illustrating how God works behind the scenes to shape character, strengthen faith, and position us for what lies ahead. Like Joseph, who endured the pit, slavery, and prison before reaching the palace, we too must be refined before stepping into God's promises.
The message outlines three key truths: when God is silent, He is working on us, aligning circumstances, and teaching us to live by His timing, not ours. Ps Pedro warns against impatience, which can lead to decisions made in the flesh—our “Ishmaels”—instead of waiting for God’s perfect provision.
Through it all, Ps Pedro encourages us to trust, wait, and walk by faith, knowing that God is always working, even in the silence. The call is clear: do not freeze, do not fear—God’s purpose is unfolding.

Understanding God's Silence: Finding Purpose in Seasons of Waiting
Life often brings seasons where God seems silent, even when we're praying and seeking Him earnestly. These periods can be challenging and confusing, but they serve important purposes in our spiritual growth.
What Does It Mean When God is Silent?
When God appears silent, He is actually working in three key ways:
Working on you as a vessel
Putting things together behind the scenes
Teaching you that everything happens according to His timing
How Does God Work on Us During Silent Seasons?
During silent periods, God is preparing and molding us as vessels for His purposes. Just as there were 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testaments before Jesus came, God uses these times to prepare people and circumstances.
The story of Joseph illustrates this principle - his journey from the pit to the palace involved many silent seasons where God was developing his character and preparing him for leadership.
Why Does God Put Things Together Behind the Scenes?
When God is silent, He's orchestrating circumstances and positioning people and resources. Like pieces of a puzzle, He arranges things according to His perfect plan:
Putting the right people in your path
Moving you to the right places
Creating the right circumstances
Timing events according to His purposes
How Do We Know It's God's Timing vs Our Own?
God's silence teaches us to distinguish between His timing and our own agenda. When we try to force things in our timing, we risk producing "Ishmaels" - results of our flesh rather than God's Spirit.
The birth of Isaac versus Ishmael demonstrates this principle:
Ishmael came from human effort and timing
Isaac came through waiting on God's perfect timing
Life Application
During seasons of God's silence, consider these questions:
Am I trying to force things to happen in my timing rather than waiting on God?
What might God be developing in my character during this season?
How can I remain faithful and trust God even when I don't understand His timing?
Challenge for this week: Instead of trying to figure everything out or make things happen, practice waiting on God's timing. When you feel anxious about God's silence, remind yourself that He is working behind the scenes and trust His process.
Remember: The just shall live by faith, not by sight or understanding. God's silence doesn't mean His absence - it often means He's doing His deepest work in and around us.

You got your Bibles out notes ready? It's gonna be good. So Pastor Pedro and Gita, I've known them for almost 15 years, and I met them when I went to Mozambique to see other missionaries. And I got to go to Bira, it's a big city in Mozambique where they were based. And they were just serving God, helping run the Bible College, a church there.
And there was someone there named Robbie that we were supporting. And over the years, Robbie's come back to Australia and retired, which she's done an amazing work over there, come back to Australia and she handed over the amazing work that was started there to Pedro and Gita, who actually met in Bible college together. And now they run the Bible College, they run the CH there. They're running, they're planting churches, they're training people up and supporting as churches are planted in Mozambique and they've got a vision to start a Christian school for Mozambique children so they can be taught the word of God, taught Christian values, and educated so they can be everything God's called them to be. We're talking about some heroes of the faith, and I'm honored to have you guys with us today.
And we're honored as a church because we support them as missionaries over in Mozambique. They're not really missionaries. They're locals to Mozambique, but there are missionaries and we're supporting them. And we're going to hear everything God's doing and an awesome word. So why don't we give them a great hand as they come on up this morning to share.
Hi, everyone. My name is Pastor Adrienne Sey Skidda. So it's been nice to be here. And I bring all the greetings from Mozambique, Africa. So we are from Hope Ministry.
And I want to take this opportunity to thank you Connect Church for supporting us. Because without you couldn't be able to do what we are doing. And the word of God says everything will pass away, but his word will never pass. So our fashion will pass away, our cars will pass away, our house, and everything will pass away, but his word will remain. Because Jesus is yesterday, today, and forever.
As we are here to hear his Word, so we need to hang on his word because his word will remain forever. Thank you for your attention.
Hello.
Thank you, sir. We need muscles.
Hang on. All right. All right.
Amen. Good to be here today. Amen. It's. It's an honor to be in this place.
We have been friends with Pastor Adrian for a long time, still remember when he took over this church. And we are seeing a lot happening already. So it's by God's grace. Greetings from Mozambique. And it's an honor for us to be here, here and to minister the word of God.
Yes, I'm a bit like a missionary in Mozambique because I was born in Mozambique, grew up in Zimbabwe, and then came back to Mozambique. So I'm a mixture. If I go to Zimbabwe, they think I'm a Mozambique, and if I'm in Mozambique, they think I'm a Zimbabwean. So I'm everywhere. Hallelujah.
Are you ready to hear the word of God this morning? Amen. You know what? What amazed me? You can only receive what you're expecting to receive.
And if you don't have any expectation, you won't receive anything. Amen. Praise God. So let's. Let's enter the word of God this morning.
I Want you to follow me as we are going, as we are entering in the word of God today. Gonna use the word as we go. Amen. Praise God. What am I gonna speak this morning when God is silent?
And I think in life, I think everybody who is in this place, you have experienced a season when you have done everything that you know you should do, when you have prayed, when you have fasted sometimes and. And you have done whatever you think you should do, but God is silent. There is a season in life that you pass through and God is not saying anything. He is just silent. So what I am going to cover this morning is what is happening when God is silent, what it means when God is not saying anything.
Does it mean that heaven, nothing is happening in heaven? Does it mean that you know God is ignoring your requests? A season that you think you are praying, but heaven, it's like an iron bar. Your prayers are not penetrating heaven. You think that is God sleeping.
But the Bible says that God does not sleep. But sometimes in a season, in a journey called life, there is time you pass through and God is silent. What it means? So I think it's one of the hardest season. And you, you are not hearing anything.
He's not saying anything. But things are happening. And what I'm going to teach you today, what happens when God is silent, what it means when God is not saying anything. That's what we're gonna cover today. Gonna bring out principles from the word of God on what happened when God is silent, Number one, when God is silent, he is working on you.
He is working on the vessel, you are the vessel. And when God is silent, he is working on that vessel. It means that there's some work that must be done for the vessel to be ready. So when God is silent, he's working on you, working you and on you as a vessel. If you look in the Bible now, we have digital Bibles, but to us, the old schools, we have this one.
If you look in between the Old Testament and the New Testament, there's some blank pages in there that represent the 400 years of such silence. Look at it. You know, God was silent for 400 years. And after the 400 years, bang, Jesus is born. What is happening here?
The 400 years, God was working on the vessel.
And you see that after the 400 years, we are seeing Mary and Joseph, the vessel that God wanted to use to be the family, the earthly family of Jesus Christ. You know what happened? The 400 years of silence is because God was working on the vessel. And who Were the vessel. Mary and Joseph are the vessel that God gonna use for them to be the family of Jesus Christ.
When the vessel was ready and then Jesus was ready to come on earth. John, chapter one, verse one says in the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God. The Word was God. And the Word took upon itself flesh and abide with us.
But how this happened, God did not do so unless the vessels were prepared. Prepared. And who were the vessel? Mary and Joseph were the vessel that God wanted to use for Jesus Christ to be here on earth. So when God is silent, he's working on the vessel.
Hallelujah. Are we together? Are we together? Sometimes we pray. We want God to bless us.
We are praying. But are we ready to receive the blessings of of God? Are you ready to have that good paying job? Are you going to continue in the house of God if God blesses you the way that you are praying for him to bless you? And sometimes if you are a vessel and you are not ready for it, you never, it won't be good for you.
God works on you as a vessel to prepare you for where he want to take you to be. So when God is silent, he's working on on you. You are the vessel. In Luke, chapter 1, verse 26. Then the Bible says now on the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth.
Why? Because on the sixth month this lady is prepared. The vessel is prepared. And verse 27, the Bible says the angel Gabriel is sent to heaven virgin, betrothed to a man. The word betrothed.
It means this lady was prepared for marriage. She was ready and then she was mature. The vessel was ready for Jesus to be born. So when God is silent, he's working on the vessel. Not only that example, if you look in the word of God, 1st Samuel, chapter 3, verse 1.
The Bible says now the boy somewhere ministered before the Lord and I, and before the Lord and before Ally. And he was there, the boy was ministering. But here he is. He was in the time that somewhere was mature enough to hear from God, God started to call him.
So God was working, working with the vessel. And the Word of God says, in those time, in those days, the word of the Lord was rare because Eli's sons were not walking in the ways of the Lord, but God. In that silence, God is working on the vessel. Who is Samuel. And when Samuel was mature, God calls him.
Amen. God does not move unless the vessel is prepared for him to move. Move. God uses people. God uses vessels.
God Speak through to us through people. And sometimes we are the vessel that God is working. He's doing something for us to be prepared, to prepare us, for us to move to the next level. And my question today, Are you prepared? Are you a vessel?
Do you think you are mature enough to receive from. From God? When he's silent, he's working on you. And he use anything to work on you. Amen.
Hallelujah. He uses anything to work with you. He uses anything. He uses anything. So what I want to say to you, don't freeze.
In the season that God is silent, his silence it says that he's making you. He's preparing you. You are the vessel. When he's working on you, when you are ready, then God will do what you want to do. And if you look in the life of Jesus Christ, we see Jesus Christ appearing when he was 12.
And after that God did not say anything. But In Luke chapter 2, verse 52, the Bible says he increased in stature and he increased wisdom. And then when those things have increased, when he was 30, we see him starting the ministry. So when God is silent, focus on you.
You are the vessel, concentrate on you. He's organizing some things in you to prepare you to receive what you want to give you. Let's see the life of Joseph. I love the story of Joseph. Joseph, Joseph.
The boy had a great dream. After that great dream, God was silent, didn't say anything. He was, he was, he was taken by his. The. The brothers wanted to kill him.
And they, they. They throw him in a pit. And God does not say anything. When the boy is in a pit, God does not say, oh, I am with you, Joseph. I'm gonna release you from this pit.
God does not say anything.
Sometimes when God gives you the promise, everything becomes like. It's controversial to what he have told you. The boy had a great dream. After the great dream, he is in a pit, limited in a dark moment. Can you see yourself?
Sometimes life gets you in a pit. And I was saying yesterday, you know, thinking our most of the generation, we have a microwave mentality. We think that things life is like a microwave. It's not like that. When you put five minutes and everything is ready and 10 minutes everything is ready.
Life is not like that.
And we have the generation with microwave mentality that they think that we put minutes, that. That's it. Nowadays in our generation, if we go to a girl, say I love you. Really, you are patient enough. If they say maybe next month, Let me think about it.
This generation, they don't Want to hear that? Oh, you love me. Oh, that's it. No, no, it's not like that. Life is not like that.
There are season in life that will mold you and mature you. And those seasons, you cannot bypass them.
Some because of our own choice. Some it's not our choice. But those seasons, ugly or good, some seasons, they are preparing you, Molding you to what you want, what you must be. And when Joseph is in a pit, the dreamer is in a pit. And God is silent.
And one thing that his brothers didn't know is like, you can sell the dreamer, but you cannot sell his dream.
So the boy is in a pit. And after that, is taken out of that pit, is sold into Egypt. The dreamer, his fatherless, motherless brother. A lot of laces when he was there. He's in Egypt.
He's a slave. He's not a free boy. He's not that boy who was the father's boy, who was giving, who was having all the best. So the boy is in. He's a slave, sold it to Egypt.
And God is silent. God is not saying anything. He's accused falsely, but. And God does not say anything. The boy is thrown in the prison.
Genesis chapter 37, 39. You hear about this story. Thrown in a prison. And God is not saying anything. But all of these things.
God is molding him, taking him to the place where you want him to be. And what I love. This boy does not go just in a prison. He is in a prison near the palace. Because his destiny, his vision, where God want him to take him, it's near the palace.
So he. He must be near the palace. So when he is in the prison, then the butler, the baker, they. They meet him in the prison. And somebody and I.
If you read in the word of God, Joseph is saying to remember me, Joseph, remember me. When you. When you go talk, talk about me to the king. Say something that I am here. I've been accused, falsely accused.
I'm not worthy to be in this prison. Remember me. But the guys, when they went there, went out there, they didn't remember him. They only remembered him in the right season. When the king had a dream, God used things to mold you, to take you to the position.
Position he wants you to be. And if you are not patient enough in this time, you produce Ishmael. Ishmael was a product of flesh, not of faith. Abraham did not wait. In the time like this, when God was silenced, it was a good idea.
And why not? You just take the slave and make.
But then what did he produce Ishmael? Our own doing, our own idea, our own direction. And when you produce Ishmael, he doesn't bring blessing. Then it's your idea, your destiny, your way of doing things, not the way God wants you to do it. And if you don't learn to wait, in the season that God is silent, you produce Ishmael in it, your life who is not the product of faith.
So when God is silent, he's working on you as a vessel. Amen. Are we together? Are we together? Amen.
Number two. When God is silent, he's putting things together.
Hmm? He's putting things together. He's putting people together. He's taking you to the places that you need to be. In the life of Joseph, Joseph must be in Egypt.
That is the place where God wants him to be. Joseph must be in the prison. That's the place where God wants him to be. Because he knows in that prison he will meet the butler, the one who will remember him. When the king had a dream in the life of Jesus, John the Baptist must be born first.
And John the Baptist must preach. Before Jesus started preaching, and he's John the Baptist is there to declare, to prepare the way for Jesus Christ. And sometimes even in the life of Jesus, Judas was important in his life. Someone must be there prepared to sell him.
So when God is silent, he's putting people around. God is organizing where you need to be. God is putting things around you. God is taking you to the places. If you look at the life of Joseph, Potiphar's wife must accuse him false.
The servants of the king must offend the king that they may be thrown in the prison. It was God putting things together. Not only that, the king must have a dream before Joseph is remembered. So he put things together that will allow you, move you to the next level. It's not hard.
Amen. And a lot of times it's not easy when God is silent. Amen. In the time of exams, the teacher does not lecture. He's quiet.
It's examination. You can say, oh, I didn't understand. It's too late, my friend.
He should ask it. In the time of lecture, when you're in exam, it's time that the teacher is quiet and you do it.
Life is like that sometimes. God is quiet. He takes you in the position and places, and he organize and things are not good. When I went into the, when I went into the ministry, I was, I was young. I, I, I, I, I used to say to my church, you know, I don't Know anything else, but.
Except I know, you know, God called me when I was 12.
Amen. I went to the Bible college when I was 19.
That's. And when I went in there, it was just a step of faith. In Mozambique, being a pastor was. It's not a great thing. No one will applaud you saying, hey, you're being a pastor.
Pastors will be looking at you, gonna be a beggar.
Nothing. No one will look at you and say, hey, that's a great idea. And my family, some of them are saying, really? Are you okay? Are you nuts?
Amen. Hallelujah. It's not a good thing. But I went in there, I just said, I'm going to the Bible college. What do you have?
The calling of God. And everything happened as I was there. And God put things in position. And some of the time he was silent. When we had our first baby, he was diagnosed with liver cancer.
And we were just new parenting. We were young, didn't know anything. And in Mozambique that time, you couldn't even. They couldn't even diagnose the baby. And they told us, you must take him to South Africa.
Africa. We didn't have any money. My wife was just a Beira girl. She never went out of Beira. And she was taken to South Africa with a sick baby for the first time.
She couldn't even speak a lot of English. She's better now. Amen. But those seasons prepared us to be who we are today. We had our baby.
He was with us for five years, months. Because of chemo, we lose him. But it prepared us to be who we are today. Walk by faith. That's why the Bible says the just shall walk by faith, not by prophecy.
God only tell us what he wants us to hear. Apart from that, he is silent. So you remember when I lost my first baby, my first son, Some people came unto me, oh, this is not good. This is not good. Really.
That's bad luck. And you need to understand really what's happening. I say, you really. I don't really. I don't want to understand.
Because if we know everything, then where is God?
He is God. Because we don't know. And sometimes when you don't understand, just follow him by faith. And it was our season to build us to be who we are. And today we can look back to that experience and use it as a testimony.
But in that time, God was silent. Are you prepared when he is silent?
We didn't have money. They told us, you must pay 44 or 45,000 rand. And we didn't have any money to pay. And I don't know what happened the next morning. The family that was helping us in South Africa the next morning, they say, oh, the money is paid.
Until today, we don't know who paid the money. But it's in that moment, in the dark moment, in the time that you are in a place repeat, God is still working. If you are not courageous enough to live by faith to continue in those season, you will produce Ishmael, decisions of flesh and move your unmoving, your undoing, which is not God's doing. So be careful of making, decision making. When God is silent, Number three.
When God is silent, he is teaching you that all things happens according to his agenda.
It's God's timing, it's God's doing. If you want Isaiah, Isaac, it is in the time of God. Isaac represented faith. Isaac represented the blessing of God. Isaac represented that God is there.
Isaac, it was the doing of God. But if you want Isaac, the promises of God, the blessings of God. Learn to wait. Because he only comes in the time of of God. It's God's timing when he comes.
Abraham in the season like this, yes, he waited that he failed because it was too long. But if you want Isaac, you wait in the time of God, it is God's timing when he comes. So when God is silent, he's saying, he's teaching you that everything happens according to his agenda, not your own agenda. Amen. Are we together?
And when you wait till the time of God, when everything happens in the time of God, everything is in order. When Joshua in Joshua, chapter one, Joshua taken over the leadership, you know, he's, you know, when he take over the leadership, everything is in order. Joshua, he had everything he needed in order. Number one, he had the river Jordan before him. He just need to cross over the river and go into the in.
Into the in. Into the promised land. Not only that, the new generation is with him. Men of war. When Joshua took over the generation of the people of Israel, everybody with him were under 40 years old.
Men that are already prepared to enter in the promised land. Not murmurous because Moses was there 40 years wandering in the desert. Because he was surrounded with the people who were only murmuring. And when Josh, when Joshua is taking over the new generation is there. They were prepared to obey him.
The Pentateuch, the five books of the Word of God, the five books of the Bible. They already written everything that needed to be done. It was already organized because it was the time of God. When God is silent. Is putting people together.
He's putting things together. He's taking you to the places where you need to be. And that's what happened. So what I want to encourage you today, don't freeze when God is silent. Don't make this decisions based on your analogy, based on your intellectual, based on your your own understanding, based on your philosophy.
Because if you do so, you produce Ishmael. Because Isaac comes in the time of the Lord.
Some people you wait. Learn to wait. Learn to learn to wait. Learn to wait. Learn to wait.
The time of God will come. Yes, he's silent, but he's working on you. Yes, he's silent, but he's taking you to the place. Yes, he's silent, but he's building people around you. Yes, he's silent, but he's taking you to the place where you should be.
When God is silent does not mean he's not not working. And be careful. That's why the Bible says the just shall live by faith. Shall live by faith. I don't know you, but in an African context, everybody want to know why this have happened, why this.
And sometimes listen to me, you shouldn't know everything because you are not a God. You should not have answers for everything. And if you have all answers, then where is God? If you understand everything, so where is God? That's why the Bible says the just shall live and walk by faith.
You hold on him even when you don't understand.
Shadrach mesa and Abadan ego they say you're a wish, you're gonna put us in that fiery fire. But doesn't matter if he saves us, it's okay if he doesn't. He's still God. That's faith. That's faith.
The guy that was in the pool of Bethesda for 38 years, he waited and he waited and waited until one day Jesus appeared unto him and said, do you want to be be healed? And he's explaining, he giving excuses, oh, there's no one here to carry me to the pool. Jesus was saying, you have waited here for 38 years. And this is you who gonna be healed differently from everybody else. You're not gonna rush in that pool.
It's not about competition. Do you want to be healed? Because I am Jesus here, the healer, the solution of your life. I am here. And I'm asking, asking you, do you want to be healed?
Because you have waited for too long in the timing of God.
Listen to me. For young people, life teaches you a lot. God organized steps in life. Some of the steps that you give unto you are not. It's not voluntarily.
Some of the things, because you have made your own decision decisions. But every step, every situation that God puts before you, it molds you into being what he wants you to be. And sometimes it's not your decision, it's your or it's not your own making. But everything that God allows you to pass through builds you to who you want to be. And I'm here today in Australia earlier preaching to you.
I come out from a poor family. It's not my doing, it's only God's doing. Amen. I understand. Do you understand what I'm saying?
I could always stand up and say how, how things have done. Whatever happened to my life. I lost my mother when I was 14. We were in a strange country. We were in Zimbabwe.
I know four years, maybe five years ago. Four years ago I lost my father. I have. I have buried a lot of people that I loved when I was young. But this did not destroy me.
It made me stronger.
You can decide and say, ah, it's because this have happened to me, that have happened to me. But listen to me. When God is so silent does not mean he is not working. Anything that he allows you to pass through molds you, construct you, for you to be who you are. You have a testimony for other people.
You can encourage others. And he doesn't yield good stuff. It's not. It doesn't look like a blessing. Do you think it was a blessing for Joseph to be in a pit?
Do you think it was blessing for Joseph to be in a prison? Do you think he thought, ah, there is God's blessing when he's falsely accused? No, it wasn't a blessing, but it was the way that God was molding him to be who he wanted him to be.
When God is silent, he's dealing with youth vessel. When God is silent, he's putting things in order. When God is silent, he's teaching you that all things happen according to his agenda.
Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. You can say in Africa we are noisy. Amen.
The season for everything in life. Thought that I was speaking to some people. Amen. Maybe you're saying to me, ah, Pastor, I've produced some ishmaels in my life because I thought it was my decisions. But God is the Father.
He receive everybody. When you come back to him.
Prodigal sons can come back to God. And he embraced them and say, okay, let's start again. We can start fresh today. Let's start again. You can move by Faith.
Today we can meditate. Today we can pray before we decide anything. Today you can do that as a good thing with our Father. He receives us become because he is the Father, that if you wait, your Isaac is coming. The promises of God.
God bless you. God bless you.
