  CHILDREN OF GOD I John 3:1-3  Devotional:- “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him” (V.1) NKJV One of the unique things on earth is that, each one belongs to one family or the other. Some are from a great family, their name sounds great, and others are from a family that is not well-known. The truth is that, the lineage each of us belongs to, sometimes speaks and shows in our live. Those who are seen as children of great people in the world are often counted as privileged. But the scripture we read today is aimed at making you appreciate the privilege of being a child of God. It doesn’t matter whether you are born into a great family on earth or not. God has decided to bestow His love on you by calling you His child (Galatians 4:7). This is the greatest family in heaven and earth. The moment you are born again, you are born of God (John 1:12). Not of...

SECRET PLACE


God's Hour of Truth "It All Begins In The Secret Place Part 2 08 ...Scripture Reading: Matthew 6:5-15

Devotional: : “ 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” (V. 6)

To have effective time in the presence of the Lord, you need a secret, solitary or secluded place. These are places you can be all alone with God (Matthew 14:23). The reason this is important is that, you are not disturbed. To be able to focus on God demand that we are not distracted. Until you can focus, you cannot get to God. 

The word of God therefore instructed us to stay in our room, shut the door and pray in such secret place; Jesus said that secret prayer will be answered openly. In other words, people will hear our testimony. This is the power of focusing in His presence. Jesus taught us in this scripture to know the importance of being private with God and not hypocritical or trying to do a show up. Whenever you are talking or thinking, you are transmitting through the wavelet. Others looking at you make them block your wavelet with their thought or talking against you. That is why it is better private, earlier in the day or later when others are far asleep.

Friend, you cannot enjoy the presence of God with show up mentality. This is an attempt to impress people. That way, God will no longer be involved. Since it is men we want to please. It is the main reason we must be sincere and open with God (Matthew 5:8; Psalms 24:4). Anyone who practices such hypocrisy has no reward from God (Matthew 6:16). Your privacy with God matter so much to Him. It is in doing that, that you will have the best of His presence. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a pure and sincere heart
