Secrecy -- Pastor Femi Monehin

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.

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...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...
