And the plan is for it to be interactive 😘
So the private place, obviously means a place where you are alone.
The private place here, refers to time spent with God.
You and God, alone time etc
But we will be looking at it in another dimension.
Before I go on, I will like to ask a question
How many of us have ever had to lead worship or prayer in church ? ☝🏽
So when you had to lead prayer or worship
Was it hard?
Was it difficult
Did it seem tasking?
OR
Have you seen a situation where a Christain is asked to lead a 30 minutes prayer and after 5 minutes they don’t know what to say anymore
Or what to pray for
Or how to even pray
Or has it even happened to you where you were asked to lead a 30 minutes prayer and you got tired after 5 minutes
That is a case of being overly conscious and shy and that’s totally understandable
At least you know that in your private place you flow
But I asked that question because a lot of times, people can't lead prayers or Worship because you can’t give what you don’t have
The private place
The private place is the place where you spend time with God
It’s the place where you have intellectual conversations with God
It’s the place where God speaks to you and empowers you
It’s the place where God pours his wisdom upon you
What happens in the private place
Interaction of spirits
Your spirit interacts with Gods and you get direction
You get so much details on things
What do we do in the private place
Prayer
Worship
Study
Listening
Gisting
Who is the private place for.. Everybody
It might seem like it is for only ministers but then aren’t we all ministers in one way or the other at the end of the day
The Bible shows us of times when Jesus would go away from the crowd to pray and when he comes out
He’s performing miracles and teaching
The private place is also a place of refilling
And there’s a high tendency to “want to wing” it.
At least “I read the Bible sometimes”, and I know one or two things and I can always check google
I have seen this happen to a lot of people and then they drop fire “intellectual” sermons but we are called for a more supernatural life
We are not called to just be eloquent in speech and drop plenty grammar
There’s the place for healing
There’s the place for ministering to people
There’s the place for Word of Knowledge
There’s the place for Prophesying
All of these things are things that we have access to and the ability to do as children of God.
If you are not deeply rooted, you’ll get weary
You’ll get tired
You’ll do more of eloquent speeches with no power
1Cor 2: 4-6
“And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them],”
It’s really long sha so I don’t want to post it but please read on your own
Start from verse 1 sef
Going down into the chapter, it says that God has secrets and he will show us
Also says
No one knows what God is thinking except the Holy Spirit and we have been given this Holy Spirit
So the private place is where your spirit and Gods spirit become one
It’s where you silence the world and get empowered
It’s where you come out from and you start to heal the sick
You can’t pour from an empty vessel
You could use google though but you too you’ll know that you’re empty
You can mentor from an empty vessel
You’ll just confuse children of God
You won’t even know who to mentor and who not to because you don’t talk to the Holy Spirit anyway
The private place requires sacrifice
It might not be possible everyday to be very honest
But once a week, move it up to twice a week
You can’t live a life short of the supernatural that God has intended for you
You are being a pauper in the land of plenty
You are human and you are not perfect
Well, Gods grace is sufficient and it has never ever stopped being sufficient
In summary sha
Get filled through fellowship with God in the private place
Then , only then can you pour out oil and minister to people
Thank you for the opportunity to teach this evening
Please read that 1st corinthians chapter 2
It also addressed being scared,bi believe 🤔
The end ❤
