The Secret Place

 The Secret Place 

Ps.91.1 - He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

The secret place is your private life. Everyone has a private life, where you are all alone. The private life of every believer speaks volumes on how his life will be in reality. What you do in your secret place will determine how your whole life will pan out. If you dedicate your private life to mundane things, that determines your whole life's focus and reality. The secret place is a part of our lives that needs serious attention and that is why we are going to spend a few days talking about it. 

If there is a part of our lives that needs all the efforts to improve daily, to explore and maximise, a part where time wasting is a great disservice, a part of us where we determine our future, career and eternity. It is that private part of us. As we humans are created with this opportunity so God has His own. Jesus was a man who adored His solitary and knew when to activate it no matter how busy He is. 

The secret place is a place of preparation, study, learning and prayers. For a believer, it is a place to spend time with God, your maker. A place to receive strength and abundant grace for a purposeful living. A place of searching, seeking, knocking and receiving. The place to receive revelations, power and direction for each day and every day of our lives. It is a place of covenant and self consecration. A sure place of safety, salvation, security, absolute protection and all round blessings. 

We are not supposed to waste away our private life on frivolities and unproductive acts. If you maximise your private opportunities, you will gain the reward in the open. The secret place is a spiritual place, what you do there determines your physical realities. The consequences of which might go beyond you alone but have lasting effects on your generations yet unborn and also influence destinies attached to your existence. 

Matt.6.6 - But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Readings: Psalm 91; Mark 1:35-45; Gal. 2

Prayers: 

I receive grace to make the best use of my secret life. I receive grace to explore, maximise and spend my secret life in the presence of God so that I may stay secure in His plan and purpose for me and my generation in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.
