Quiet Time 10th July 2023 (A gentle reminder)

Father, We thank you that you are faithful God. We thank you that

you are good, that your mercy is endure forever. We thank you that

you've chosen to love us with an everlasting love. We thank you that you

have chosen to show us great mercies. We thank you that you've shown us

great favor. We thank you that you've chosen to crown us with your loving

kindness. This morning, we are gathered from fire and near to say thank

you for all that you are to us. Blessed be your holy name.

We give you praise, Lord, Holy Spirit. We acknowledge you, will

reverence you. We thank you for your presence in our midst. Have your

way of Lord in Jesus' precious name. Let us believe a shout a big

ay man, And can you clap your hands for the Lord Jesus. Oh

hallelujah, Amen, and so be helpful for Father and the Lord. The

Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams, you are all welcome to church. Amen. Please

look to your left and to your right and tell your neighbor you are welcome

to church. Please tell your neighbor I see the glory of God all about

you. Please tell your other neighbor, I see the glory of God all

around you. Amen, And tell your neighbor I thank God for your life,

that you are alive and well, that you are in your right mind,

that you have not gone sacay, but that you are in your right

mind. That God has preserved your life, that God has loved you with

an everlasting love, that God has crowned you with his loving kindness. Tell

your neighbor, I'm proud to see you in church this morning, and tell

them I thank God for your life. Amen. Clap your hands for Jesus.

Amen, Oh hallelujah, and please be seated in the presence of the

Lord. Hallelujah. We thank God for all the testimonies a man week in

week out. How many of you have realized that every week God gives us

a testimony. Amen. So please tell your neighbor if you have not yet

testified, you have to testify about God's goodness in your life. Can I

hear an Amen, I have a testimony myself for you. Amen. Oh

hallelujah. Amen. By the grace of God, my wife has delivered a

wonderful Oh yeah, oh yeah, Glory to God. Amen. My wife

has delivered a wonderful, godly, handsome baby boy. Amen. Amen.

Oh hallelujah. Amen, So I declare over you. There will be no

dryness in your life. Amen. You'll be fruitful. When you's time for

you to marry, you marry the right person. Amen. No foolish boy

would receive you. Amen. And the there's when it's time for you to

marry, you marry the right girl. Amen. And when it's time to

have babies, God will help you and you have godly babies. Can I

hear better? Amen? So say to yourself that dryness has ended. Say

I am fruitful in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen. And as

you have declared, so shall it be. You pass all your exams.

Amen, you pass all your exams. You will be the pride and joy

of your parents. Amen. You will not be a stubborn child. Amen.

You will not be a bad boy or a bad girl. But you'll

be the pride and joy of your parents because you bring great honor to them.

In hallelujah. And so we thank God for all the testimonies. Amen.

And so please tell your neighbor if you have not yet testified, you

have to begin to testify. Amen. Let's have Revelation Chapter twelve, as

eleven. The Bible says that and they overcame him by the blood of the

lamb and the word of their testimonies. Amen. And so what shows that

you are an overcomer is when you have testimonies. Amen. What shows that

you are an overcomer is when you have testimonies in your life. Amen.

So if you don't have a testimony yet, it means you are not overcoming.

If you don't have a testimony yet, it means you are still in

the dry mess season. And your prayer should be the Lord, fill my

cup up with fresh oil, so that I also testify. Amen. And

they overcame him by the blood of the land and by the word of their

testimony. Amen. So lift your hand up to the Lord and say,

Lord, give me also a testimony, Give me also a testimony in Jesus

Mighty, Nay. Amen. I was telling the first service people that many

a time people come to church casually. They come casually likes it's a gathering

and another gathering. So they have come. When you come to church casualty

casually, you can become a casualty. Amen, You can become a casualty.

So choose not to come to church casually, because when you come to

church casually, God come pass you by and you willn't even know it.

Amen. God can be here and you will not know it. And in

your mind you think, oh, Charlie, I have knowledge. But Charlie,

you have missed God. And the thing we're missing God is that if

you miss God, you can miss God for the rest of your life.

That's casualty. Amen. And in the past months I've been teaching you about

the Holy Spirit. How many of you remember anything from that? And I

believe your relationship with God is growing? Is your relationship with God growing?

Are you growing from grace to grace? Amen? Because I was going to

teach you and launch you into being of service to God, but the Holy

Spirit said, teach them on quiet time again, because many of you have

stopped doing quiet time since the last time I taught to you quiet time.

You have stopped. Your Bible has guarded dust, your phone in your house.

Your phone is more prominent than your Bible. So God is telling you

we are going back to quiet time. Please tell your neighbor we are going

back to quiet time. Amen. And so last week I was talking to

you about the Holy Spirit, and about the fact that, according to Acts

chapter two, God sends the Holy Spirit the promise of the Father to us.

Now the Holy Spirit is with us. What do we do with him?

We need to have fellowship with him. Do you understand? We need

to have fellowship with him? And how you have fellowship with God is through

your quiet time. Amen. It's through your quiet time. People who have

quiet time have testimonies. Amen. So if you don't have a testimony,

then it means you're not doing the right thing. Can I hear an amen?

So then it means you need to go back to doing the right thing.

Amen. And so today the Lord wants me to tell you about quiet

time. So, as a servant of God who is obedient to my Master's

voice, I'm here to tell you about quiet time and how he told me.

He told me early in the morning. I was sleeping on my bed.

I was just about to get down from my bed when I said,

thank you Jesus that he is a quiet time. I said, yes,

sir. So quiet time is what will help you to develop your relationship with

God. Amen. So what is quiet time? For the benefit of those

who have not been here? We're not part of our lessons on quiet time.

Quiet time is a time we spend with God. Quiet time is that

time we spend with God. Like the meaning of the name it, quiet

time requires some silence, It requires some stillness. God said, be still

and know that I am God. Until you come to the knowing of God,

you need to be still. You need to be in a place of

quietness. You need to be in a posture of quietness. Amen. And

so quiet time is your own personal time with God. It is your own

privileged time with God. It is your own lonely time with God. You

don't share that moment with anybody else. Amen. And so by making and

spending time with God, you build and develop the most important relationship ever in

your life. What is the best relationship anyone can have, apart from having

a relationship with the God of all gods, apart from having the best relationship

with the King of kings, having a relationship with a Lord of lords,

having a relationship with the creator of all things, having a relationship with a

sustainer and the source of all life. That's the most important relationship any believer

can have. Amen. So please tell your neighbor if you are not having

that relationship, then there will be a big vacuum. Amen, there will

be dryness in your life. Amen. And so today I want to share

with you a few thoughts on how to develop an important habit of having quiet

time in your life. Amen. And so, like I was sharing with

the first service people, quiet time is your personal time. You know what

they say about opinions. Opinions are like tooth brushes. Everybody has one.

Do you understand? Opinions are like tooth brushes. Everybody has one. But

you see, the thing with tooth brushes is that you don't share your tooth

brush with anybody. Is anyone who shares their tooth brushes? Somebody say,

let's do a shift system. You use it in the money, I used

it in the afternoon, and somebody else who use it in the evening.

It's specific to you. Your tooth brushes are for you only. So your

personal quiet time is for you only. You know why, because God wants

to have a relationship with you personally. God is an amazing God. He

has made you need children all over the world. But guess what, God

desires to have individual relationships with everybody. Amen. By the grace of God,

I'm a father of three. Amen, you'll be there, say I'll

be there. Amen, You'll be there. You see. And though I

love my children all the same, do you understand I have a personal relationship

with every one of them individually. Individually. So there are moments I will

spend with the older one by herself. There are moments I will spend with

the middle one by herself. There are moments I'm going to be spending with

a little one by himself. Amen. And so your quiet time is what

will help you develop that personal relationship with God. Because outside of that,

there will be no relationship. Amen, Because we know you don't do quiet

time, and we know when you come to church if you don't take notes.

So when we talk here, it's like it goes here and then he

enters here when we meet your side and we say, Charlie, what was

the man talking about in church? I don't even remember. So outside of

quiet time, there is no opportunity for you to develop your relationship with God.

But by having quiet time, you develop the most important relationship, which

is more important than the relationship we have with your father. It is more

important than the relationship you have with your mother. Amen. But a young

sisters, it's more important than the relationship you have with that boy who texts

you at two am, and because you're waiting for the text, you be

awaken to the brothers. That relationship is more important than that girl than when

you see your heart begins to skip a bit. Boom boom boom boom.

Chat. It is more important than that. The relationship between you and God

is more important than even the person you marry in future. Amen, it

is more important. Let's do let's do this thing. One of you,

come, Gabriel, come. There are three relationships, all right, this

just by the way the Lord just told me to tell you about it.

There are three relationships in every person's life. The first one is the A

frame relationship A letter A. So do this, go back and just do

everything I'm doing. This is a frame relationship. You get it. Ideally

we are supposed to be slanted and lean on this, Johanna said, But

you see, the thing with a frame relationships is that the moment one person

decides that, oh I'm tired, I'm going in this one. Four.

Do you understand? There is also the M there's the H frame relationship.

The H frame relationship can easily be broken, Janna said, So it has

no worth, it has no proper foundation. But there is the M frame

relationship which is not easily broken, Jana Sam. And this is the relationship

that God wants to have with you. A relationship that is not easily broken,

a relationship that is not just based on your emotions. Thank you so

much that today I feel like going to change. Oh, I don't feel

like going to change. So tell your neighbor. God wants to have an

M frame relationship with you, Amen, so that your relationship will be unbreakable

a man. And so I want to share with you seven secrets of having

your personal quiet time. And the first one is during your quiet time,

you developed the most important relationship in your life. Amen. Developing a relationship

with God is a beautiful thing because for me personally, when I was maybe

six months old, then my father divorced my mother and then he went to

London and got married to my stepmother and he had many nice children there Jhanastan.

So while I was growing up, I didn't have a father. Well,

he existed, but he wasn't fathering me anyway, So there was that

void Johndastand I remember when I was in secondary school. Oh, my friends,

their parents who come, They'll come with their pagerus their pickups, and

they'll just be sitting on the cabs talking to their sons. And I'll just

be spining in the window, like, oh man, what a lack?

Do you understand? But you see, when I began to develop my relationship

with God, that void left and I felt more complete even than those who

had physical fathers. Do you understand, Yes, there are many people I

know who's they were giving birth to, and they were just dropped off at

an orphanage. They don't know their biological father, they don't know their biological

man, you understand. So for them there is an emptiness that affects their

life as they are growing. But you see when they find God and they

begin to develop a relationship with God, God tends away that emptiness. He

turns away that dryness. Do you understand? Who could have thought that I

me could be a father of three because I didn't have any example to look

up to. I didn't have an example as oh, charlady, are paying

your school fees, they're buying you what you like, They're taking you here,

they are taking you there. I didn't have the example. Do you

understand, But by developing a relationship with my heavenly Father through his son Jesus,

God has completed me. So it is in your own interest that you

develop a personal relationship with God. Do you understand? Because your earthly father

can die, your earthly mother can die. That boyfriend, that's you you

can't say no to. There is some girl. The boy broke her heart,

and my prophet friend told her that chaliade this boy. His heart is

somewhere else. She's still holding on to Papa. Oh Papa, why have

you done this to me? Oh Pa? Five months later she's still doing

oh Papa, Oh Papa, why have you done this to me? Listen?

The boy can't break your heart. But when you have developed a personal

relationship, when you have developed the most important relationship in your life, you

will have an m frame relationship. Amen, that will make you complete in

your life as a child of God. Can I hear an amen? Amen?

So John Chapter seventeen, verse three. So a natural relationship develops between

any two people who spend quality time together. And so by spending time with

God, you develop this relationship with God. Amen? And why is it

important to develop this relationship with God. The Bible says that this is eternal

life, that they may know you the only true God in Christ, Jesus,

whom you sent. And so by spending quality time with God, you

get to know God. You'll get to know his son Jesus. And by

that it will bring life to you. Amen, it will bring life to

you. I like my sister's testimony that she has not God, hasn't been

sick, that God has preserved her life. Amen. I can share in

her testimony because when I was growing up, I used to fasick a lot.

Amen. I used to be in a hospital a lot. But you

see, when I began to develop my relationship with God, Lord, sickness

ran away by itself. He ran away, He packed his bags and baggages

and ran away on top speed. And so by developing a relationship with God,

I received life, eternal life. And once you have eternal life,

everything in your life will be perfect, everything will come into alignment. Amen.

And I can say to the glory of God that for more than twenty

six years now, I have not been admitted in any hospital. Do you

understand. And so by having a relationship with God and knowing him, because

you are spending quality time with him, you come to the discovery of eternal

life. Can I hear an Amen? Amen? In probably Chapter eight,

verse seventeen, the Bible says, I love those who love me, and

those who seek me shall find me. When you spend quality time with God,

you seek God. Amen. And as you are seeking God, you

will find him because He will reveal himself to you. And those days where

you take the Bible and read, and the moment you open the Bible,

you are sleeping, and the Bible has become your sleeping tablets. So on

days where you want to sleep, you just open and flip flip flip,

and you're snoring that days, those days will come to an end because when

you open the Bible, it will be for a discovery mission to get to

know something new about God. Amen. When I started pursuing God, I

like to read the Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John because it

revealed so much about Jesus to me that I didn't know, and I was

so eager to know more about him. So I can't sit down and I'll

just keep reading and reading and I'll be like, oh wow, so this

is actually what happened Oh wow. And I kept reading and reading and found

out that Jesus is not just the healer, but he's a mighty healer,

because a person is a healer when they can only heal one person. But

guess what, Jesus healed many people. You understand. The Bible says that

Jesus came back from praying and a multitude came. They thronged him. They

came with sicknesses. Everybody had a sickness. Any sickness you can never imagine

the people had it. They all came to Jesus like they were coming to

him, and the Bible says that power left Jesus and healed them all.

Wow. So, in my pursuit of knowing God and knowing more about him,

I discovered that he is a mighty healer. Amen. And so if

I know Jesus to be a mighty healer, then there is no sickness that

can ever attach me that my God cannot heal. Do you understand? There

is no disease that someone can be going through. And by the grace of

God, I will pray for the person that Jesus doesn't have power to heal.

Do you understand? And so by going on a discovery to know who

God is. You receive eternal life because when you seek God, God will

reveal himself to you. Amen. Please tell your neighbor it's time to seek

God. Amen. Number two secret of having a quiet time is that having

a quiet time makes you develop the most important personal habits of all time,

which is a regular time with God. Amen. So by having quiet time

every day, you learn how to make time for the most important things in

life. You learn how to pry prioritize your time and your goals and how

you serve God. Amen. When you begin to have your quiet time,

you learn to prioritize your life. You will not be deceived. Tally,

let's go and play football on a Sunday morning, because you will know the

important things in life, and you know the most important things about saving God.

Amen. You not wake up on a Sunday morning and pick your phone

and be on TikTok watching funny videos on a Sunday morning where you need to

get ready to go to church. You will not pick up your phone and

be on threads. Oh, Tally, threads is yeah, let me see

what's going on. By having a daily quiet time, it will help you

to prioritize your life. So when you wake up in the morning, your

phone is not important to you. Do you understand saying thanks to God,

opening your Bible, reading a verse, meditating on it is what will be

important to you, because by having a quiet time it will help you,

instilling you that personal habit of putting fast things first. Amen. When you

don't do first things first, it can make you a casualty. Amen.

And tell your neighbor for free, please don't become a casualty. Amen.

And so in Ecclesiasis chapter twelve U is one, the Bible says that remember

your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come.

Amen, are we all here youth? Hey, there's some old people here.

I said, are we all here, youth? And so the Bible

is saying to you this morning that remember Creator in the days of your youth.

It's not when you are an old man an old woman that you arenouncing,

Oh God, how can I save you? When you have given all

your life to worldly things and there is nothing you see in you again to

offer to God? Do you understand? So remember your Creator while you are

still in the days of your youth. Please tell your neighbor, this is

the time to save God. Oh, please say it with him, Say

this is the time to save God, and tell them this is the time

to save God. Well. Amen. So if you want to know God,

you want to develop a relationship with God, that you need to remember

your creator. When now? When? When we need to begin now?

Amen? Because by doing that we develop the most important habits in our Christian

work. Amen. What number are we on? Number three? During your

quiet time, you draw near to God and He draws near to you.

Amen. During your quiet time, you draw near to God, and God

draws near to you. So by having your quiet time every day, you

learn how to dwell in the secret place of the Most High God. That's

because I'm ninety one best one downwards, some ninety one best one downwards.

The Bible says that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Stay there with me before we

move to the next one. There is a secret place in God. Amen,

There is a secret place in God. And you say, not everybody

goes to the secret place. Not everybody has access to the secret place.

And there are benefits for being in the secret place. But as a child

of God you are you have the license to go into the secret place.

It's not automatic. You need to go there yourself. And so it says

he who dwells. And although there is a secret place, it requires you

to stay in the secret place. It requires you to stay. Tell your

neighbors stay, stay in the secret place, abide in the secret place.

And that involves having your daily quiet time. Amen. Let's go to the

next verse, verse two. I would say of the Lord, he is

my refuge and my fortress. Before you can declare the Lord he is your

refere your fortress, you need to be in dwelling in the secret place.

Any place outside of the secret place. You don't have the right to say

this because you see God to be this. For you to declare that He's

my refuge and my fortress, my God, the hum will I trust.

It requires you to dwell in the secret place. Amen. And so during

your quiet time you draw near to God and He draws near to you.

Can you please say to yourself, during my quiet time, God draws near

to me, and I draw near to God. Amen. So if you

want to be nearer to God, what you have to do quiet time.

The two gentlemen that please come. Let me use you as an example again.

The songwriter said, draw me nearer. Ahrah, blessed Lord, you

stand here, and you come in stand here to the cross. Were the

as dann out of these two gentlemen. Who is nearer to me? He

is nearer to me. He's far away. If I have some good things

to give, he's closer, very far away. He's so far away that

the blessing can't reach him. Johanna, stand so drawn near to God,

and he would draw near to you. Amen. Can I have my khaki

back? Amen? God, bless you, Thank you so much. Amen.

So you need to draw near to God, so God would draw near

to you. The Bible says in James four eight, draw night to God,

and he draw ninh to you. Amen. Number fourth secret of having

your daily quiet time is that quiet time makes you read the most important book

in the world. The Bible is the most important book in the world.

It is the most outstanding volume made known to the human race. Matthew,

Chapter twenty four and thirty five. One day I was just meditating on the

word of God, and I heard the Holy Spirit say that the Bible is

the best book in the world. I heard him say that it is far

greater than the Harry reporters. It is far greater than the Mills and Boons,

It is far greater than the magazines. It is a greater and greater

and greater than every book ever written by man. Amen. And the reason

for it is that the Bible says that heaven and earth shall pass away,

but God says that my words shall by no means pass away. Amen.

Do you see the reason why when you are flipping through a magazine you are

so excited is because you can see pictures inside. So you're very excited.

When you read the Bible with revelation, your spirit will see pictures. Yes,

your spirit will know things, and the Word of God will come life

to you, become alive to you. Amen. And the reason why the

Word of God will not pass away according to first John Joint chapter one,

verse one and two. John one one and two. In the beginning was

the Word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.

Amen. The word was God. So because God is eternal and he

cannot pass away, his word, who is Jesus Christ, will also not

pass away. Amen. And so by having your daily quiet time you read

the most important book in your life. Amen. Which number are we on?

Number five? Your quiet time is your personal school of the Word.

Your quiet time is your personal school of the Word. During your quiet time,

you sit and learn at the feet of the greatest teacher Jesus left for

us. Who is the greatest teacher Jesus left for us, the Holy Spirit,

Say the Lord Holy Spirit. So the Lord Holy Spirit is the greatest

teacher, the Lord Jesus left for us. Amen. And because it's the

greatest teacher, he will teach as many things and show as many wonderful revelations

of his word. John sixteen, twelve thirteen. The Bible says, I

still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them.

Next verse. However, when he the Spirit of Truth has come, he

will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own

authority, But whatever he hears, he will speak, and he will tell

you things to come. When you have your quiet time, you have one

on one time with the whole Spirit, the greatest teacher, teaching you the

Word of God. And one of the things he does is that he will

guide you into all truths. Amen. He will guide you away from broken

heart. Some of you don't know what broken heart is very painful. It

can make you walk outside and forget you're nowhere and slippers. You don't know.

It can make you go to work. You've forgotten that, Charlie,

you've not brush your teeth, you've not combed your hair. Meanwhile, you

want your jackets. If you even forgotten to wear your trousers, you're just

wearing your boxes and you are going. You get it. The Holy Spirit,

who's the spirit of truth, will guide you into all truths. Amen.

Way before I got married, I was dating some lady. She was

very shocked financial Charlie is shocked right, she's a professor. And I said,

you get it, and Charlie me, I thought she was my number

one. You get what I'm saying. Unknown to me, I was number

three. When I decided to pursue God, I said, God, lead

me into all truths because I want to marry. It was like a movie

unfolded. The Holy Spirit led me into all truths. By the time I

saw my eyes were shine, I said, my God, I'm over this

one and I'm moving forward. So God will lead you into all truths.

Saymen, So you will not be deceived by that foolish boy or that girl

you think she's your number one. By Charlie, you're number seven Amen.

So that nobody will deceive you because the spirit of truth, who is in

you, it will guide you into all truths. Amen. And how the

Lord will minister to you is when you are having your quiet time. When

you're having your quiet time, Amen. Well, I said, I come,

come and tell us your testimon Ay you're telling me this morning. Amen,

there's a practical example of what I'm saying. Come and take my marca

and tell me them. Tell them. So this week I was praying and

I was reading. I was this week, I was reading the whole of

first Sample. Then the Lord told me go to asks chapter four, the

thirty one. And I was like, how is this related to what I'm

reading? So he was like, yeah, your friend is writing an exams

today before her and I was praying and he said your friend is the social

go by the ito no go. And I was like, ah, why

you like what you're God of like positive energy, So why would someone speaker

no go? And I called my friend and I told her that the Lord

said the social go by the itun no go. And later she called me

and she was like the sosha went to but I no go as as she

said. And later that same day I was classes. I was don I

was going on with two girls then and so on my whell. When we

crossed the first road, the second road, we're about to cross the pi

kaka. The girl was like, she can't over her leg. Then I

held the leg and I was like here, but she was struggling. When

we were crossing, she was still struggling. And when I go to my

code and I was like how you You're like, oh, it's now better.

It's like first and I was like okay, waiteet sweet. So you

see when he said he was walking with the two girls, they were like,

hey, you know, when you are anointed, they will attract.

So you see the brothers who are dry, they walk alone. It's a

clear sign of lack of anointing. Amen, because you see there annointing,

because the driving force of the annointing is the Holy Spirit. You see them

as Christian sisters like your own sisters. Do you understand? So when they

have issues, it is you they will come to and come and talk to.

They won't talk to that boy who is walking alone, because that boy

has wicked ideas. Amen. Bless you and you see all this will happen.

When he started having his quiet time, the Lord spoke to him.

Amen. And so when you also start having your quiet time, God will

start talking to you. The Lord will begin to talk to you. You

know why in the Spain we don't hear with our ear, We hear with

our heart. The heart is the gate to your spirit. And the Bible

says that the entrance of God's word brings light and it brings understanding. So

the moment you receive more of God's word, you receive light and understanding.

So your heart is open to hearing the voice of the Spirit. Amen.

So you can challenge yourself that between now and the end of this year,

my target is that I will study the word of God every day. And

I can tell you for a fact that by the time you hit forty days,

God will speak to you. Amen. God will speak to you.

Your desires will change, Amen, and you'll be more interested in saving God.

Can I hear an Amen? Amen? Now, My six secret to

having a quiet time is that during your quiet time, you increase in your

personal knowledge of the Word of God, you increase in your personal knowledge of

the Word of God. Amen. There are some of you. If we

ask you, Charlie, what's going on, you know everything happening in the

world. But when we ask you about your knowledge about God's Word, you

are blank, like a cartoon that doesn't have mouth. Blank. You have

nothing to say when we are talking about girls, my God. You have

stuff to say when we are talking about celebrities and celebrity, or you have

things to say the boys when we are talking about football, basketball, you

have things to say. All of a suddenly you are not mutes, you

are not move way again, you can't talk. But the moment we start

talking about kingdom, things, the Word of God, about liking God,

pursuing God, saving God, your mouth suddenly the super glue glue your mouth

together. Amen. And so by having your daily quiet time will increase your

knowledge of the scriptures second chapter two, verse two and fifteen. So by

studying the Word of God, you show yourself approved onto God. You show

yourself approved onto God. Because the Bible says that the Holy this spirit will

remind you of the things that you have studied, and mainly the things that

you study through your quiet time is what the Holy spill will remind you about.

Amen. So when you are in a difficult situation, the Holy Spirit

remind you about a scripture. When you are in a situation where you feel

that all things are lost, everything is lost, like you are finished,

there is no hope, then the Holy Spirit will remind you about a scripture.

The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. Do you understand,

the Holy Spirit will remind you about a scripture that you have studied,

that you are meditated on, that is in your heart. So it doesn't

matter what you go through. There is an antidote to that situation from the

Word of God, and it comes from your quiet time with God. Amen.

Let's look a second chapter one, verse five. So knowledge is important

because the desire of Christ Jesus, the desire of our Lord, is that

we grow in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. And by growing in the

knowledge of the Lord Jesus, he wants us to attain perfection, to grow

in stature to be like him. And outside of knowledge of the Word of

God, you cannot attain that. Amen. And the Bible says in first

research after one with five. But also for this very reason, giving all

diligence, all diligence, giving all attention, add to your faith, virtue,

to your virtue knowledge. So adding knowledge to your virtue is required in

having a wholesome relationship with God. Amen. Outside of that, you rob

yourself of a good relationship with God. Second Peter to the three vers.

Eight The Bible says that, but grow in grace and in the knowledge of

our Lord Jesus Christ. Second Peter, three vers. Eighteen. But grow

in the grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

To him be glory, both now, forever and ever. Amen.

And so grow in knowledge. Please tell your neighbor grow in knowledge. Amen.

You cannot be sixteen years seventeen years old and the only knowledge you have

is one plus one. The only knowledge you have is ab cd Amen.

The knowledge you should have by now should be able to solve Pythogora's theorems.

Amen, you should be able to be solving simultaneous equation, solving dangerous mathematic

equations to understand, and so add to your virtue knowledge. And if you

don't read the Word of God, knowledge will not come to you. Because

the knowledge that will stay in your heart is more effective when you read it

for yourself, and the Lord, who is our teacher explains it to you.

Amen. Outside of that, you can forget. Outside of that,

you can't forget. Amen. And so please tell your neighbor grow from grace

to grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus. Last, but

not the least, secrets of having a quiet time is during your quiet time

you experience the presence of God. During your quiet time, you experience the

presence of God. Genesis, chapter three, verse eight. The barber says

in the Book of Genesis that in the cool of the evening, God would

come into the garden and have fellowship with Adam. But when Adam backslid now

he said that they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden

in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves.

They hid themselves from the presence of the Lord among the trees and the gardens.

The absence of developing a relationship with God through your quiet time is that

you will hide from the presence of God. You will be far away from

the presence of God. But you see God's desire for you, and I

is that we come close into his presence. Amen. I didn't hear you,

Amen, I said Amen. God wants us in his presence. He

doesn't want us outside of his presence, because outside of his presence you can

be a casualty because Satan is waiting for you. Amen. And so from

today, please say to yourself that I'm going to do my quiet time.

Amen. And the number one reason why you need to do your quiet time

is to develop your personal relationship with God. Amen. Because see, God

is going to do amazing things with you. Guys, you don't even have

a clue. Do you understand? God is preparing you for the next generation.

God will use many You'll be doctors, you'll be lawyers, some of

yourself will be presidents, business men. But you also be sevenths of God.

Do you understand? And the seventh of God is a person who has

a heart for God. And so you see your design will be to work

for God. And you just need to do a little bit of your doctrine

things, your lawyer things, and then you get plenty. That's what God

wants to do with you. Amen. But until we get there, you

need to begin to develop the relationship. Now. Amen. The Bible says

that those who seek God will find him, and so God is waiting for

you. Amen, please be on your feet. You just want to say

a prayer to the Lord that draw me deeper, Draw me deeper. Help

me, Lord Holy Spirit, to have an effective quiet time, to get

to know you more. I want to know you more. I want to

know more about your Lord. Help me, Lord Holy Spirit, to have

an effective quiet time and pass not time with you where you teach me the

word of God, where you reveal to me the mysteries of the Word of

God. Help me, Lord Holy Spirit, Help me, Lord Holy Spirit.

Help me, Lord Holy Spirit, Help me, Lord Holy Spirit,

Help me, Lord Holy Spirit, help me. Dear Lord, help me,

Dear Lord, help me, Dear Lord, help meet your Lord.

If you can close your eyes, just close your eyes and pray to the

Lord. If you are casual about this, you can become a casualty.

But purpose in your heart that your desire will be to seek after God and

that in seeking him he will be found. Thank you Jesus, Thank you
