Secrecy -- Pastor Femi Monehin

By

God's Favourite House Daily Devotional (7th Thursday July 2016)

 “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (Whose power no foe can withstand)” Ps.91:1 AMP

The second ingredient of surprise is Secrecy; in fact, it is secrecy coupled with deception in many cases. Fredrick the Great said, “Everything which the enemy least expects will succeed the best.” So check, what does the enemy least expect? Everything the enemy least expects will succeed the best. If the actions of the attacking commander are not conducted in complete secrecy, he is only going to surprise himself, and not the enemy. If there is something God needs you to execute with complete secrecy and you do not execute it with complete secrecy, by the time you are executing that instruction, the surprise will be on you and not the enemy.

For many of us, God gives you an idea [an instruction, a direction, an image] but our mouths have truncated a whole lot of things that God wants to do in our lives. We talk too much. God gives you the idea and under the umbrella of being passionate, you have shared it with half of the neighborhood. Have you noticed that when you keep sharing it, all of a sudden, the idea dwindles?  It has happened to me several times but it does not happen to me anymore. I have learnt how to keep things to myself. You too must learn how to keep things. You can choose the easy way, which is learning from my experience, and not the hard way.

Why does this happen? I will tell you why it happens from a spiritual stand point. When God gives you an idea, He expects that you incubate the idea. As you incubate the idea, you are generating spiritual power to birth the idea. “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High…” Dwelling in the secret place of the Almighty is a choice. The more you talk about the idea before time, the more you are leaking the spiritual power that you need to birth it. So at the end of the day you would not have enough spiritual power to birth the idea. Number two, sometimes when you talk about what God has told you, you put God’s idea that He has given you in the public domain. When you do that, demons have access to it and when they do, you know that is trouble. You will just be fighting unnecessary battles. Keep your mouth shut; it will save your life.

Prayer: Lord, I dwell in the secrecy of Your Presence, under the shadow of Your wings. Everything You are birthing in me will not be aborted, in Jesus Name.

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...
