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.

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 ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

EndSARS: Prophetic Intelligence

Some moments ago, the LORD reminded me of the things He shared with me during the protests. As usual, when I hear of an event in Nigeria or on the global scene, I would go to God for prophetic intelligence. I have always shared how that prophetic (spiritual) intelligence is the highest form of reality. When we seek God's counsel about an issue in our life, family or work, we are seeking prophetic intelligence. If we seek it for different issues in our life, how much more would it be of greater premium when we seek it for happenings in our nation. The ENdSARS protests started without any prior notice. There was no signal to it in the physical and it gathered momentum within days so much that many were surprised that Nigerians could stand up for their right. As the protests were going on, I went to God to find out His thoughts about the protests. In following God in the last days, many have missed the trail because they arrange things based on the knowledge of good and evil. We...
