THE SECRET PLACE

A WELLSPRING OF LIFE

PSALM 91:1–2; PSALM 36:9

1. The Secret Place: The Hidden Source of Life

We may not understand every circumstance, but we can know the One who governs all things. Some dimensions of God are revealed to those willing to go deeper. [Job 38:33]

The secret place is where we are alone with God, in personal communion with Him; where the God of Scripture becomes the God we know by experience. To dwell (yashab) is to remain. [Psalm 91:1–2]

A wellspring is an inexhaustible source from which life continually flows. [Psalm 36:9]

2. Presence Before Assignment

Jesus called the twelve first to be with Him, then to be sent: be with Him, be formed by Him, and be sent by Him. [Mark 3:13–15]

The secret place requires time, worship, sacrifice, surrender and obedience.

3. What Happens in the Secret Place?

Brokenness — God searches and transforms the hidden condition of our hearts. Remain humble, repentant and tender before Him. [Isaiah 57:15; Psalm 139:23]

Mercy — God’s compassion and forgiveness are an inexhaustible, fresh supply available each day. [Psalm 86:5; Lamentations 3:22–23]

Rest and Renewal — We withdraw from life’s demands to commune with God and receive fresh strength for what lies ahead. Time in His presence is never wasted. [Mark 1:35; Psalm 62:1; Isaiah 40:31]

Divine Illumination, Wisdom and Direction — When human reasoning reaches its limits, God reveals what is hidden and gives wisdom for the way forward. [Daniel 2:1–22, 28]

4. The Wellspring of Life and Purpose

When the secret place becomes our dwelling place, it becomes the source from which life, peace, strength, wisdom, mercy and direction flow. [Psalm 36:9]

The divine order: Presence → Brokenness → Mercy → Rest and Renewal → Revelation → Formation → Assignment.

5. The Call

Do not seek only what God can give you; seek God Himself. Do not seek only His hand; seek His face.

Do not merely visit His presence — dwell there.

The Kingdom of God: A Spiritual Awakening!

- by Pastor Valentine Akuazaoku

Eph. 1:18-19

What is the Kingdom of God? (Gen. 1–3:5)

Configuration:

1. Ownership—God owns everything (Gen. 2:1–2, Acts 7:50)

2. Sonship—God created ‘mankind’ in His image (Gen. 1:26–28)

3. Assignment—God entrusted mankind, made in His image, with stewardship over the earth (Gen. 1:28–30; 2:15)

Control:

1. Theocracy—God is the absolute Ruler (Dan. 4:35)

a. Absolute authority—God rules by command (Gen. 1:3a; 2:16a)

b. Delegated authority—God exercises His rule on earth through those He appoints (Dan. 4:32b; Gen. 1:28; Ps. 115:16; Luke 4:5–6)

2. The Word—the Bible is the final rule (John 1:1; Josh. 1:8; Ps. 119:11, 105)

2. For humans, citizenship comes only through new birth (John 3:3, 5)

3. Only humans are granted dual citizenship (Phil. 3:20; John 17:16; 2 Cor. 10:3; Gal. 5:25)

4. All citizens are related (Heb. 2:11)

5. Citizens have one assignment: do God’s will (Matt. 6:10; John 5:19; Matt. 6:33)

• Citizens address natural problems with supernatural power, spiritual dependence, and divine wisdom (2 Cor. 10:3–4; Matt. 17:24–27; 16:8–10)

Pitfalls to Avoid as Citizens:
