What do you do when God gives you a word — but you’re not sure who to tell, or when to speak? 

In this episode of Jola Speaks, we step back into the Book of Ezra to understand why Nehemiah was so discreet before rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls. Before Nehemiah ever arrived, an earlier attempt to rebuild was delayed for years — not because God failed, but because the word was exposed too early. 

This episode is a powerful reminder that obedience includes stewardship.
God doesn’t only care that you obey — He cares how you carry what He gives you. 

You’ll learn: 

  • Why not every God-given instruction is meant for public discussion
  • How premature sharing can lead to discouragement, doubt, or delay
  • Why prayer, discretion, and timing protect the promise
  • How intimacy with God helps you discern who to speak to — and who not to


If you’ve ever felt unsure about sharing what God placed in your heart, this episode will bring clarity, wisdom, and peace.
