Topic: Are you a listener or Speaker PT .2

Text: Proverb 5:1
  My son, pay attention to my wisdom; listen carefully to my wise counsel.

Memorize: Rev.3:6
    Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.

Message:
  I discovered through experience that it's very hard to listen than to speak,and that is why we have many speakers but few listeners.
    People really need listeners around them,as leaders,husband,wife,pastor and teacher rather than speak who speaks hundred words but has little time to listen to forty words from others. A listener as :
1. Husband,will allow his wife to speak both non sense and rubbish while listening
2.  Leaders ,will listen to the problem and needs of his people rather than ignoring their words as many do in the society.
3. As wife she allow her man to talk,even if the man is lion in a man's covering.
     It takes more energy to listen and concentrate than to speak, that is problem we have today;  people are too busy to really listen;because someone allows you to talk doesn't not mean such is listening as in;following your words one after the other.
     If we will live long and be fulfilled, then we must be good listeners to;
1. The spirit of God
2. The word of God.
3. Information and news in the world
4. Our spouse
5. Children
6. Parents
7. Teachers
8. Elders
   Ability to listen to others is one the mark of wisdom.

Note:
   A fool is too busy trying to make his point while a wise man listen to others
