Hide- A Call To Have A Secret Place

The first meaning of the word that came to my heart is a call to the secret place. I have written about this before, but the Lord wants to refresh and stir up our pure minds by bringing this to our remembrance again.

I was studying Psalms 91 one day and the first verse struck me like I have never read it before. The phrase that stuck to me eyes looked like a mistake. I was bewildered that such a thing exists so much that I thought it was a mistake.

"...secret place of the most high". I wondered why the Lord would have a secret place. Questions like this poured into my mind as I pondered on this phrase and I made some conclusions that day about the Lord. One, the Lord has a secret place, which is not out of the blues for anyone familiar with powerful men in Yoruba land. This revelation that I thought would stop my questions brought me into more and more questions.

What would God be doing in His secret place? Matthew 6:6 settled my queries. God has a secret place where He attends to those who also have a secret place. In fact, God dwells in this secret place which means that God is always to those who also have a secret place. No wonder all the promises of God in the other verses of Psalm 91 are hinged on the first verse.

The secret place is a place where you meet with God alone. Congregational meetings are good, but they must not replace our secret place. Actually, after a congregational meeting, God is waiting for you in the secret place to discuss what happened in the congregational meeting. That's why it is the decisions that we make after programs that eventually change us.

Hide is a call to create time to meet with God one-on-one. You don't pray when you wake up, you wake up to pray. You don't study when you have time. You create time to study.

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty. It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Why Is Cindy Jacobs Important?

Few days ago, I was having a discussion with a prophetess about the depths of the dimensions of God in the life of Cindy Jacobs. I was telling her about some stories about her ministry and how her works has vibrated through several nations. Two days later, I got a notification that she would be coming to Nigeria! I was shocked. I reached out to the prophetess and she confirmed to me that it is not a coincidence that we were discussing about her few days ago and now, she is coming into our territory. Now, we know that fame is not necessarily the signature of God upon an individual or movement, but because the church is structured in a body pattern, we have several dimensions of God flowing through and we are called to carry and steward specific dimensions. It is important to know the dimensions of God you are called to carry and it is also important to know those who carry this same dimension so that you can learn about the possibilities of God through you. I am singling out Cindy ...
