| HIDE AND SEEK |
|
Memorise: “And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel” (Isaiah 45:3). Read: Isaiah 45: 1-3 |
| For so long we have navigated shallow waters. The Lord wants us to launch out into the deep. The miracles, signs and wonders that we have seen constitute shallow waters. The revelation of God’s word we are exposed to also constitutes shallow waters. Our present level of service, love for the Master and dedication in praise, worship, thanksgiving and soul winning constitute shallow waters because there are depths we have not scratched yet. May the Lord launch you into the deep in Jesus’ name. “Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught” (Luke 5:4). Why do we need to go into the depth? Proverbs 25:2 says, “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.” This passage tells us that God plays a game of hide and seek with His children- those who are born again.
He has deliberately hidden certain treasures in places where they cannot easily be found so that non-kings of God will not locate them as these are the exclusive preserve of believers. As you play this game with God, He keenly watches with interest to see how many of such hidden treasures you are able to find. According to Proverbs 25:2, each treasure you find adds to your value. The more you uncover these hidden treasures, the higher you soar in honour and heavenly rating and the more you are empowered to change your world. How much of God’s hidden treasures have you found? For instance in praying, you can ask, seek and knock according to Luke 11:9-10. There is a lot of difference between asking and seeking. The fellow who asks can be compared to a man who goes to buy fuel from the filling station while the fellow who seeks can be compared to an oil company that has drilled and established oil wells. One of the two will pay for the fuel while the other becomes rich from selling fuel. For so long you have been asking: Now it’s time to start seeking. For long you have been reading the bible: It’s time to study it. Have you been studying? Move on to meditating on God’s word. |

Success in divine hide and seek determines success in reigning as king on earth. How good are you in this game? |
