The Secret Place

The Secret Place

            Everywhere we turn, almost everyone seems to have a tougher version of life than the previous person, sometimes it gets so chaotic that you might begin to ask yourself; is this the life that was promised, the life that was saved on the cross of Calvary? As Christians, we have to know what we believe in and stick to that truth no matter what happens. In the storm, we have to know that God was there even before we arrived just to make sure that the storm will not consume us. Many at times, we face the wrong direction in our bid to escape from danger. God loves you and you should know that you are safe inside His hands no matter what life throws at you.

            The Secret place is not a place you design; it is the place where God is, a place where worship is all that comes out of your life. The Bible teaches us that an act of kindness to the poor is an act of worship to God. In the secret place, many things happen, lives are transformed, broken hearts restored, futures changed and people begin to see and live anew. If you were to be given a choice on your perfect life, many things you would choose might be things found in this world alone: money, houses, cars, clothes, things. While these are not bad things, they are perishable and to give your life to things will ensure that you live in order to service those needs. They become your secret place, your only hope for a good life. If everything you currently own were to be taken from you, what would you do? Your cars, houses, friends, sources of income and even your most prized possessions, would you be able to continue?

            Many people, even Christians, have become so attached to what they have and cannot even admit it to themselves. Jesus says that you cannot serve God and Money (Mammon), you will love one and hate the other. Can this be said of your life? Do you love God and hate Money? In your walk through life, it is important to know exactly who you are, where you stand and what you believe. The secret place you should desire is the place where God is because the moment you spend with Him is better than a million days away from Him. In this secret place you will find peace, love, joy, patience, gentleness, goodness, meekness and temperance, most of all you will be satisfied eternally without having to ask for more. The secret place is where there is rest. Everywhere else is full of chaos, struggles, malicious intent, adultery, fornication, witchcraft, hatred, heresies, wrath, seductions and so many things that just make life a bundle of turbulent hurdles.

            Why not find God today in the Secret place, take your yoke to Him, run to the Secret place where your heart will be free and everything you think you have lost can be given to you in full. You will begin to experience a life new to you but familiar to your Spirit. Let the life force of God begin to move you in ways you have never imagined, directing your heart towards experiencing the fullness of the spirit. I pray that God will lead you to His Truth and everything you need to know will be made clear.

God Bless You

PEACE IN LIFE, SALVATION IN DEATH

PEACE IN LIFE, SALVATION IN DEATH

                God’s message to human being (mankind), through Jesus Christ is simple: I give you life that you may live; I give you Christ that you may have life eternal. There is no doubt that when a person is born you begin to live. With this life however, comes all you meet, systems, processes, taxes, education, skills, friendships, enemies, jealousy, ambition, goals, drives, motivation all to an endless list of insatiable human wants. People who are called Christians are those who believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, Messiah, Lord and Supreme commander as well as believe totally in the message He brings to all: Love God, Love Man.

            As we begin to grow, we see that things are not as straight-cut as we hoped it would be when we were children. We begin to see life through the eyes of income and expenses, assets and liabilities, wins and losses. We have now forgotten the simple message of just being happy to be alive and rejoicing in every single moment. The promise of God to us through Jesus Christ is to allow us live a life that destabilizes all human understanding or logic. The Bible states this clearly as Peace that passes all understanding, is what God has given to you in Jesus Christ. To grapple with and fully understand this, you need to be totally sold out to Jesus for without Him, you can never understand nor walk in this light.

            When you have surrendered and found this peace, that is not all you receive, you get a hope, an assurance to a life here-after: the eternal. Many people; rich or poor, old or young, subtle or active struggle with this thought, ‘is this all there is to life?’ The answer is simply this: we were created, came from somewhere and will return to the creator when our time here is up. What we do here or how we do it will be judged by the One who sent us. Something many people do not realize on time is that it is easier to obey than to sacrifice. If we simply abide by the rules given to us by our creator, we will surely arrive where He plans. Being Human, having free will and thinking we know everything or will soon know everything, we embark on an endless journey of self-discovery, only to end up right where we started, be it four months, ten years or a lifetime later.

            Many people who have gone long in years have observed and stated the obvious: life is simple. But being human, to us it just cannot be that simple. There must be something we can do on our own without God, something that makes us hate, something that makes us resent life for the hardship it brings as opposed to the simple joys ever present. Doing this will only bring collision, war, segregation, hatred, racism, envy, greed, ambition, violence, disregard, dishonor and so many situations that erode the human consciousness of peace. The life God has given us is blessed and adds no sorrow, a life beyond positions or possessions, which you can have because it has already freely been given to you and me.

           

            Peace in life and salvation in death is no fictional idea, it is a fact. If you believe and choose to seek this way through Jesus Christ, the only guarantee that I can give you is that you will find it and you will know peace like you have never known. I pray that God will reveal His Son, Jesus, to you and you can begin to have complete peace in all areas of your life; walking daily with the Blessed Assurance that you have salvation in death.

God Bless You.
