Introduction
The dealings of God, the deliverance of God, the mercies, helps and Favours of God for man a conceived in the secret place. How far man can go with God depends on the secret place.

The length, breadth and depth of God’s blessings upon any man depends on the secret place factor. God does not neglect the secret place, so no man should neglect the secret place,

ii. Answers to Prayer depends on the secret place.

iii. Destiny fulfilment depends on the secret place.

iv. The promises of God coming to pass depend on the secret place.

v. Great Deliverance depends on the secret place.

The Promises To Abraham Required The Secret Place For Fulfilment and Manifestation

ii. The Wilderness Experience was to forge and turn Israel into the people of God through the Secret Place Experiences

No wonder some were set apart because they entered into the secret place and abided there: Joshua and Caleb. Psalms 103:7
He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

The Eight Plagues Against Egypt, And None in Goshen: The Secret Place in the midst of the enemy. A place called Goshen with different conditions, situations and circumstances due to the presence of God.

The Passover Lamb and Meal: This created a temporary secret place for the children of Israel from the Angel of Death, the place of the blood in the secret place revealed and foretold here. Forgiveness of sin and holiness create the secret place.

The Killing of the First Born Of Egypt: Without the secret place the angel of death had a field day to kill the firstborn. In the secret place there is no permission for the enemy to operate.

The Red Sea Deliverance – Exodus 14 & 15
They saw, experienced and felt the Red Sea Opened. Saw the land and road created in the bottom of the Sea. Saw the water of the sea as walls on the right and left. Saw the army of Egypt drowned and dead on the seashore.

What an experience of the great deliverance and miraculous. Yes, they sang and after that what happened?

The Wilderness Experience and The Secret Place: How can an over two million people live a normal and regular family life in the wilderness if not by God, of God and for a purpose – to learn, see, desire and stay in the secret place of the Lord.

It was to forge a place of knowing, accepting, relationship, obedience, trusting, holiness, promise fulfilment and becoming a peculiar people called of Hod and by God.

1. Introduction to the Topic

2. The Dynamics of the Secret Place

3. The Manifestations of the Secret Place

4. Invitation to The Secret Place

In the Part Two of our Study – we studied the lives of some patriarchs the realities and manifestations of the Dynamics and Blessings of the Secret Place as we trust the Lord for similar experiences in our lives and times as well. This is the will of God concerning us in Christ Jesus about the Secret Place of the Most High.

We examined the lives of Adam, Enoch, Noah and Abraham understanding through them the benefits of the secret place. Before the benefits are the lifestyle, expectations and living in the secret place.

In the Part 3, the Lord shall take us to GOD further in understand our topic – the dynamics and blessings of the secret place as we consider the secret place realities of the lives of five people in the Bible and draw insights to help us dwell and abide in the secret place of the Most High.

Peter’s Struggles With The Demands of The Secret Place Clearly, we see introduced to us a struggling man but spiritually and in his career.
He had both a spiritual and physical encounter with the Lord Jesus – Luke 5:1-11 Something shifted, his eyes were opened, he saw a much more greater possibilities for his life and destiny, so he made a decision and a choice to follow Jesus. Luke 5:11 | Matthew 16:17 | Matthew 17:1-9-4

His need and calling to the secret place became more in Luke 22: 31-34 | John 213-18

We see the impact of Peter not in the secret place taking the disciples away from their callings to fishing until Jesus came in John 21:3-9 Again, Jesus focused on Peter – John 21:10-18. He dwelt on the issue of love, feeding and keeping.

Lessons On Dynamics and Blessings of the Secret Place From the Life of Apostle Peter:

1. You need definitely knowledge, above ordinary, deeper revelation to access and abide in the secret place.

2. The enemy does not want you in the secret place

3. You are a great danger to the enemy in the secret place

4. To abide in the secret place you need the prayers of the Lord.

5. You abiding in the secret place is to draw others to the secret place

6. The secret place is for lovers of God – intimate relationship

7. The secret place is a place where the word of God reigns supreme

Samson – Answered, Conceived, Given, Called and Mandated in The Secret Place But Abandoned The Secret Place For Pleasures

Judges 13-16
Samson’s Failure To Abide in the Secret Place, Samson was promised, birthed and given as answer to prayer, a gift, a deliverer and a judge in Israel. The greatest but in his life was the neglect and the abandonment of the secret place. He had experienced it but the daughters of the Philistines became his secret place: Judges 16:5 | Judges 16:20

1. Pleasures of the world can take you or keep you away and out of the secret place

2. Your secret and ungodly cravings will take you out of the path to the secret place.

3. Away from the secret place the patience of the Lord May wear out

4. The protection of the Lord is not guaranteed outside of the secret place.

5. You stay in the secret place is a protection, decency and blessings to you and so many others.

Gideon Success Enabled In the Operation of the Secret
Gideon was a nobody outside of the secret place: Judges 6:12-16

1. All we can be and become in God and for God, to the blessings of man is from the secret place.

2. The choosing of the 300 was the power of the secret place at work

3. The dream in the camp of the enemy was the power of the secret place at work

4. The life of Gideon is the dramatization of Ps 91 from promise to reality.

Gehazi’s Disdain for the Secret Place Its Demands 1 Kgs 5:25-27

So close to the secret place yet so far away.

1. It was a matter of the heart

2. It was a matter of his choices

3. It was a matter of unbelief

4. It was a matter of following the master but not with the master but disdaining him and his God

5. It was a question of what can I get out of this.

6. To such, the door of the secret place shall be shut.

7. A horrible door was opened instead –

8. There is a generational impact to dwelling in and not dwelling in the secret place.

Paul’s Absolute Surrender To The Thirst For The Secret Place – Acts 9:1-17 | Acts 9:17 | Acts 26:16-18

Apostle Paul was a man far from the secret place.
The mercy of the Lord was shown and invited him to the secret place, he grabbed it, grew in it, devoted to it and never left the secret place:

1. No necessarily a place of comfort to your body etc

2. It is a place of not my will but thy will be done

3. The blessings and promises of the secret place are for the expansion and enlargement of the kingdom of God.

4. The secret place is to empower you to call and lead many into the secret place

5. It is a life of showing forth the praises of him that has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light to others.

6. The capacity to live an extraordinary life is in the secret place – a became all things to all men so I might gain them for Christ. 1 Corinthians 9:22 | 1 Peter 2:9 | John 1:12.

CONCLUSION

The Overall purpose of the secret place is to help you fulfil purpose and as well-being glory to the name of the Lord through the calling of many into the secret place.

THE DYNAMICS AND BLESSINGS OF THE SECRET PLACE – PART ONE

Tayo Abiodun — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 09:50:25 +0000

A Sure Pathway To Living An Overcoming Christian Life.
Bible Passage – Psalms 91:1-2 | Psalms 91:1-8 | Psalms 9-16

Introduction To The Secret Place of the Most High

One of the promises/blessings/thoughts of God for man is that of the Secret Place.

It is a promise that everyone that loves himself or herself should seek and thirst for with all of his/heart.

It sorts out and settles a lot of issues, destinies, purposes, goals, aspirations and troubles of man.

1. A secret is not open nor available to all

2. Only few know a secret

3. Only few are involved in a secret

4. Wants everyone know and partake in it is no longer a secret or secret place.

5. This a secret place – no one but you and God alone – do you and the Lord have a secret place?

Dynamics of The Secret Place In Display 1 Samuel 17:32-54 : Levels of the dynamics are revealed in this passage.

For how can a teenager of 16/17 confront a lion and kill it – without the dynamics and blessings of the secret place

For how can a teenager of 16/17 confront a bear and kill it – without the dynamics and blessings of the secret place

We see the deployment of foolish weapons of war in the hands of David, a bag, a sling and stones

We see the dynamics of exchange of words from the secret place by David against those of Goliath.

What Is A Dynamics?

Are forces that are released regarding the secret place – The powers – Privileges – Conditions – the energy – The special covenants – favours – mercies – assignments- instructions – revelations – special wisdom – great ideas derived from relationships and interactions in the secret place of the Most High

If you describe someone as dynamic, you approve of them because they are full of energy or full of new and exciting ideas. [approval] He seemed a dynamic and energetic leader. Synonyms: energetic, spirited, powerful, active More Synonyms of dynamic.

What Are Dynamics In A Relationship?

Relationship dynamics are the patterns of behavior that happen between people in the ways we relate, interact and communicate with each other.

Having an awareness and understanding of the dynamics that play out in our relationships puts us in a position of empowerment.

The Dynamics of the Secret Place are seen and manifested in the –

1. Presence of the Lord.

2. Light of the Lord.

3. Power of the Lord.

4. Forces and Hosts of The Lord.

5. Defense of the Lord.

6. Wisdom of the Lord.

7. Visions and Revelations of The Lord.

8. Favours of the Lord.

9. Mercies of The Lord.

10. Promises of the Lord.

What a great error not to thirst, hunger seek and abide in the secret place of the Most High

There Is An Invitation To The Secret Place – As we grow in our relationship with the Lord, there comes a number of invitation to the secret place.

This invitation to the secret place has levels and categories , the invitation is Non-Stop – it is continuous so long a man is alive – story of Abraham’s invitations; Peter’s and Paul’s.

1. Invitation To The Secret Place – Abraham – Genesis 12:1-3; Genesis 17:1-4; Genesis 22

2. Invitation to The Secret Place – Jacob – Gen 28:10-22 | Gen 30:26-43 | Gen 32:1-32

These examples of Jacob and Gideon are the dynamics of the secret place of the Most High.
When a man lives in the secret place of the Most High it cannot be hidden, the results will show, there shall be evidences.

3. Invitation to The Secret Place – Gideon – Judges 6:11-27 | Judges 6:33-40 | Judges 7:1-23: What men wanted to do with 32.000 the Lord did with just 300

4. Invitation To The Parents of Samson and Samson himself – Judges 13-16

5. Invitations and Introductions of Apostle Peter to the Secret Place of the Most High | Luke :1-11 | Mark 9:2-10 | Matthew 14: 22-31 | Luke 10:17 | John 21:15-19

Result of Accepting The Invitation

1. No wonder the Psalmist declared in His presence is fullness of joy and pleasures for ever more – PS 16:11

2. No wonder Moses understood it and ask if your presence do not go with us take us not from here

3. No wonder the presence of the Lord in the manifested in the cloud by day and pillar of fire by night represented the secret place in the wilderness

4.No wonder Jesus promised I will never live you nor forsake you

5. No wonder the motto of RCCG is Jesus yesterday, today and forever more – Hebrews 13:8

The Dynamics and Blessings of the Secret Place
It is when we get into the presence of the Lord and we abide in there that the dynamics go into play working for our good, releasing and pouring the blessings of the Lord upon us.

The Secret Place of the Most High is the headquarters of all that the Lord can and will do for man.

CONCLUSION

You have a heart cry for more of the Lord.

You have things you are struggling with and you want to overcome

You have issues of deliverance

You have a heart cry for the supernatural in Christ Jesus

When the Bible says one shall chase a 1000 and 2 put 10,000 to flight, it is two in the secret place of the Most High.

Your recipe is the Secret Place of the Most High.
