TOPIC: PRESENT IT BEFORE GOD 6: Pray In The Secret.
MEMORY VERSE:
Isaiah 1:18
18 “Come now, let’s settle this,” says the lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.
BIBLE READING:
Matthew 6:5-6 .
5. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
A question was raised some years back that, “How do you measure the prayer life of someone?” Everybody kept answering in diverse way; through speaking in tongues, vibrating while praying and many more, after all answers, the teacher said, nothing can be use in measuring the prayer life of a person. Shouting while praying or speaking in different tongues isn’t a measure for one’s prayer life, it’s can only be through/by the result. Someone may be praying and very far in thought, speaking in tongues and still lusting over visible things. But Jesus showed us how our Father recognizes a Prayerful life, He said, is by praying in the secret and the reward will be revealed in the public.
Another principle to have access to God’s heart is by praying in the secret, in your house with doors locked. Not by shouting in your room, not by disturbing others while praying, so they can know you are prayerful, No, prayers rendered to God in the secret will not be distracted or truncated because no one knows you are even praying. You can pray on your bed while lying without disturbing anyone. You can walk around in your room without making a sound, just you and God speaking to each other and you enjoy direct access to him because he sees secret prayers and reward them openly. Can you dedicate some minute to do that today? Pray in the secret to have a direct access to God.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
