WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THE NEXT GENERATION? PART 7: WHAT WILL THE NEXT GENERATION RECEIVE FROM YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THE NEXT GENERATION? PART 7: WHAT WILL THE NEXT GENERATION RECEIVE FROM YOU? Psalm 78:4 (NLT) “We will not hide these truths from our children but will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the LORD, about his power and his mighty wonders.” THE FINAL LAP We have come to the final part of this journey. It started with a simple question. A question that came from watching a mother feed her newborn child. A question about breast milk. A question about nourishment. A question about what one generation receives from another. But that simple question became much bigger: WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THE NEXT GENERATION? We discovered that this question is not only about food. It is about life. It is about what we consume. What we allow inside us. What we process. What we produce. What flows from us. What we pass on. And the example we leave behind. Now we arrive at the final question: What Will The Next Generation Receive From You? SOMETHING WILL BE L...

TREASURES OF DARKNESS: UNCOVERING THE STOREROOMS OF GOD PART 2: THE SECRET PLACES OF GOD

TREASURES OF DARKNESS: UNCOVERING THE STOREROOMS OF GOD
 PART 2: THE SECRET PLACES OF GOD 


Isaiah 45:3, Psalm 91:1, Job 28:1–113

“…the hidden riches of secret places…”


Where Hidden Riches Are Revealed to the Seeker


🔁 RECAP OF PART 1: The Treasure Is in the Dark

Last time, we discovered that darkness is not a curse but a storeroom. In Genesis 1, God called forth light from darkness. Isaiah 45:3 reminded us that hidden riches are often stored in secret places — and God gives them to those who dig deep in faith.


Darkness is not the end. It’s the envelope hiding God’s next letter.


Not every treasure lies in the open. Some require searching. Others, seeking.

In this message, we go deeper — not just into darkness, but into the secret places of God.

Places only the hungry, the humble, and the submitted can enter.


God doesn't hide His riches from us; He hides them for us — to be discovered in intimacy.



📖 MAIN SCRIPTURES


Isaiah 45:3:

“…the hidden riches of secret places…”


Psalm 91:1:

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”


Job 28:11:

“He binds the streams… and brings hidden things to light.”



💡 MAIN LESSONS


1. The Secret Place Is Not a Location — It's a Posture


It’s not a mountain or room — it’s the condition of the heart that says:


“I want God more than I want answers.”


Those who dwell in the secret place (Psalm 91:1) are not visitors — they’re seekers.


2. God Reveals His Richest Treasures in Intimacy


Just like with Moses and Daniel, those who lean in closely hear secrets that crowds never hear.


 Divine whispers are for those willing to silence the noise.


3. Treasure Is Often in Places No One Is Looking


Job 28 speaks of places where gold, silver, and sapphires are found — but they’re not on the surface.

They require digging, pressing, enduring.


Likewise, God’s guidance, callings, and wisdom are sometimes buried beneath prayer and patience.


4. God’s Secret Places Birth Generals, Not Visitors


David was anointed in the secret place.

Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray.

Elijah heard God, not in fire or wind — but in a still small voice.


Many are busy chasing stages, but generals are formed in caves and closets.



🕊️ REFLECTION


Ask yourself:


Am I giving God space to whisper?


Do I want His voice… or just His blessings?


Intimacy is where inheritance begins.



🙏 PRAYER:

Lord, lead me into Your secret place.

Strip away noise, fear, and restlessness.

I don’t want to just know about You — I want to know You.

Hide me in the shadow of Your wing until I am shaped, sharpened, and sent.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.




🎯 CALL TO ACTION

This week: ✅ Set aside a “secret place” time — 10 mins to just sit with God in silence.

✅ Ask Him to reveal what you've been missing while rushing.

✅ Read Job 28 slowly — let Him open your spiritual mining site.




🎬 TEASER – PART 3: When the Light Goes Off

Up next: What do you do when you’ve entered the secret place — but God goes quiet?

When the light doesn’t return quickly, and silence lingers?


Prepare for: 🕯️ When the Light Goes Off – Walking with God Through Silence and Shadows

WHEN FOLLOWING JESUS COSTS EVERYTHING PART 7: WHAT IS YOUR “ONE THING”?

WHEN FOLLOWING JESUS COSTS EVERYTHING PART 7: WHAT IS YOUR “ONE THING”? Luke 18:22 (NIV) When Jesus Christ heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing…” In Part 6, we encountered the rich young ruler—a man who was disciplined, moral, and sincere, yet walked away from Jesus Christ because of one thing he could not surrender. He was close to Jesus—but not surrendered to Him. Opening Thought 🌅 Sometimes, the greatest barrier between you and your next level in God is not many things—it is just one thing. Not obvious. Not loud. But deeply rooted. Key Phrase “ You still lack one thing …” Insight 🔍 This statement is both simple and profound. It means: You can be doing many things right… and still miss one thing. You can be progressing… and still be held back. You can be committed… and still be divided. The rich young ruler didn’t lack discipline. He lacked surrender in one area. And that one thing became everything. Deeper Application 🔥 Your “ one thing ” may not be money—but ...

THE GREAT WALL: WHEN WALLS FAIL PART 2 — THE ENEMY AT THE GATE: STRONG WALLS, WEAK WATCHMEN

Image
THE GREAT WALL: WHEN WALLS FAIL PART 2 — THE ENEMY AT THE GATE: STRONG WALLS, WEAK WATCHMEN In Part 1, we saw that walls do not fail because they are weak; they fail when the gates are compromised. Even the mighty Great Wall of China, built with stones, sweat, and sacrifice, could not stop an enemy when its gatekeepers failed. True strength lies not in the wall itself, but in the vigilance and integrity of those who guard it. Now in Part 2, we explore how weak watchmen at the gate can undo even the strongest defenses. Every wall has two sides: the builders who raise it and the watchmen who guard it. A wall can be tall, thick, ancient, and mighty…but if the hearts of its watchmen grow tired, distracted, or compromised, the enemy does not need strength — just an opportunity. The Great Wall teaches us this: Strength is useless without vigilance. Protection is fragile without attention. A boundary is only as safe as the person standing at the gate. Let’s journey deeper. THE STORY — Part 2 ...

JUMPSTARTING YOUR LIFE—THE POWER OF DIVINE CONNECTIONS PART 2: YOU CAN'T MOVE WITHOUT POWER

Image
  THE STORY: THE CAR NEEDED MORE THAN A JUMPSTART Romans 1:11-12 (NIV) "I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith." Welcome to Part 2 of our Series, Jumpstarting your life: the Power of Divine Connection. In Part 1, we learned that sometimes, like a dead car battery , our lives need a jumpstart from the right people, sources, and connections. But a jumpstart alone is not enough —you need power to keep moving! PART 2: YOU CAN’T MOVE WITHOUT POWER! THE STORY: THE CAR NEEDED MORE THAN A JUMPSTART After my landlady’s son’s car was jumpstarted, I expected him to drive off immediately. But he didn’t—he sat in the car for a while. Why? The car had power but no fuel! That moment reminded me: It’s not enough to be revived—you need power to keep going. HAVE YOU EVER FELT REVIVED BUT STILL STAGNANT? Many people experience moments of spiritual, emotional, or financial re...
