The Archbishop of Nicholas than came Williams. You are all welcome to church.
-
Amen. Please look to your left and to your right and tell your
-

-
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

-
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,
-
Amen, 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. Hallelujah. Amen. By the grace of God,
-
my wife has delivered a wonderful Oh yeah, oh yeah, glory the 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 will be
-
fruitful. When it's time for you to marry, You marry the right person.
-
Amen. No foolish boy will deceive you. Amen. And the bra
-
that'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'll be the pride and joy of your parents. Amen. You'll not be
-
a stobart 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. 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 Revelations,
-
chapter twelve 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 dryness season. And your prayers 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 Lamb 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 Chase's Mighty Ay, Amen, I was telling the first service people
-
that many a time people come to church casually. They come casually like it's
-
it's a gathering, 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 can pass you by and you will not
-
even know it. Amen. God can be here and you will not know
-
it. And in your mind you think, oh, Jarlia, I have
-
knowledge, but 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 as 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 as 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 thought to you quiet time.
-
You have stopped. Your Bible has God and 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 Arts 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 he
-
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's a quiet time. I said, yes, say 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 a time we spend
-
with God. Like the meaning of the name quiet 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 is the most important relationship any believer can
-
have. Amen. So please tell your neighbor if you're not having that relationship,
-
then there will be a big vacuum. Amen, there will be dryness
-
in your life. Amen. So today I want to share with you a
-
few thoughts on how to develop an important habit of having my 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 toothbrushes. Everybody has one, you understand. Opinions
-
are like toothbrushes. Everybody has one. But you see, the thing with
-
toothbrushes is that you don't share your toothbrush with anybody. Is there anyone who
-
shares their tooth brush with somebody? Say, let's do shift system. You
-
use it in the morning, are using the afternoon and somebody else who use
-
it in the evening. It's specific to you. Your toothbrushes 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 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, 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 know
-
quiet time, and we know when you come to Chase if you don't take
-
notes. So when we talk here, it's like it goes here and then
-
it enters here. When we meet you outside, we say, Charlie Wood
-
was the man talking about in charge? 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 you 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
-
text you are to him, and because you're waiting for the text, you
-
be awaker to him. The brothers that relationship is more important than that girl
-
than when you see your heart begins to skip a bit booooo. 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 a this thing. One of you can, Gabriel count.
-
There are three relationships, all right. This is just by the way
-
the Lodgers 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 stand. But you see, the thing
-
with a frame relationships is that the moment one person desire that, oh I'm
-
tired, I'm going this one will four? Do you understand? There is
-
also that m there's the H frame relationship. The H frame relationship can easily
-
be broken. Jounderstand. So it has no worth, it has no proper
-
foundation. But there is the M frame relationship which is not easily broken,
-
Johanna, stand and this is the relationship that God wants to have with you.
-
A relationship that is not easily broken, a relationship that has not just
-
based on your emotions. Thank you so much that to do 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. Amen. And so I
-
want to share with your 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 nine children there. Understand 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, you understand. I
-
remember when I was in secondary school. Oh, my friends, their parents
-
will come, they will come with their pajeros. They are the pickups and
-
they will just be sitting on their cabs talking to their sons, and I'll
-
just be spying 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 to underside, Yes, there are many people I know whose
-
they were giving birth to and they were just dropped off at an orphanage.
-
They don't know they are 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 turns away that emptiness. He turns away
-
that dryness. Do you understand? Who could have thoughts 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 ohia, lady, I pay your schoofies,
-
you're buying you what you like. They're taking you here, they're taking
-
you there. I didn't have the example, 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. You understand, because your earthly father can die, your earthly
-
mother can die. That boyfriend, that's you. You can't say no.
-
There's some girl be The boy broke her heart, and my profet friend told
-
her that chilaid this boy. His heart is somewhere else. She's still holding
-
on to Papa, Oh Papa, why have you done this to me?
-
Five months later she's still read oh Papa, Oh Papa, why have you
-
done this to me? Listen? The boy can 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 em framed 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'll 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, she 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 fall sick a lot. Amen. I used to be in
-
a hospital a lot. But you see, when I began to develop my
-
relationship with God, sickness run away by itself. It run away, It
-
packnes bags and baggages and run away on top speed. And so by developing
-
a relationship with God, I received a 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 will
-
come to the discovery of eternal life. Can I hear an Amen. Amen.
-
In Probabs chapter eight 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'm like,
-
oh wow, so this actually what happened. Oh wow? And I kept
-
reading and reading. I found out that Jesus is not just a 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, Joanna said.
-
The Bible says that Jesus came back from praying and a multitude king they
-
thronged him. They came with sicknesses. They came 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's 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 see
-
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 habit
-
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'll 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 change. You will not pick up
-
your phone and be on threats. Oh, Tally, threats is here,
-
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, 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 instill in you that personal habit of putting fast things first.
-
Amen. When you don't do fast 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 Ecclesiastics Chapter twelve, vers One, the
-
Bible says that remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the
-
difficult days come. Amen. Are we all hear youth? Hey, there's
-
some old people here. I said, are we all hear youth? And
-
so the Bible is saying to you this morning that remember your Creator in the
-
days of your youth. It's not when you are an old manner, old
-
woman that you are announcing, 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 them, 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 developed the
-
most important habit in our Christian work. Amen. What number were 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. That's one downwards, so I'm ninety one,
-
verst 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 lincense to
-
go into the secret place. It's not automatic. You need to go there
-
yourself. And so it says he who dwells. And so 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 two. I will say of
-
the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress. Before you can declare
-
the Lord is your your fortress, you need to be in dwelling in the
-
sycret place. Any place outside of the sycret 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, Him or 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 it 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 there please come. Let me use you as an
-
example again. The songwriter said, draw me nearer, Ehra, blessed Lord,
-
you stand here, and you come and stand here to the cross where
-
that hast 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. Johannasan so drawn near to God, and he
-
would draw near to you. Aymen, can I have my cakey back?
-
Amen? God, bless you. Thank you so much. Amen. So
-
you need to draw near to God, so God will draw near to you
-
in man, the Bible says in James four eight, draw nigh to God,
-
and He'll draw nigh to you. Amen. Now, my 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.
-
Multi 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 saying that it is
-
far greater than the harryporters. It is far greater than the mills and boons.
-
It is far greater than the magazines. It is far are 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're flipping through a magazine you are
-
so excited. It's 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 a life to you. Amen. And the reason
-
why the Word of God will not pass away according to first John John,
-
Chapter one, verse one and two. John 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 you 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
-
were 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 us many things and show us 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 Holy 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, tell if you don't know what broken heart is very painful.
-
It can make you walk outside and forget you're not wearing slippers. You
-
don't know. It can make you go to work. You've forgotten that,
-
Charlie. If not brush your teeth, you've not combed your hair. Meanwhile,
-
you've won your jackets. You've even forgotten to wear your trousers. You
-
are just wearing your boxes and you are going. You get it. The
-
Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth. Will guide you into all truths.
-
Amen. Wait, before I got married, I was dating some lady.
-
She was very shark financial, Charlie shark right, she's a professor. And
-
I say, he gets it. Then, 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. Hey,
-
By the time I saw my eyes were shining, I said, my
-
God, I'm over this one and I'm moving forward. So God will lead
-
you into all truths. Say man, so you will not be deceived by
-
that foolish boy or that girl you think she's your number one, by your
-
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 he
-
said, come, come and tell us your testiment or you're telling me this
-
morning. Amen. There's a practical example of what I'm saying. Come and
-
take my mark and tell me. So this week I was spraying and I
-
was reading. I was this week, I was reading the whole a fair
-
sample. Then the Lord told me go to ask chapter four verst. 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 to
-
for her. And I was praying and he said your friend is um the
-
social but the ito no gole. And I was like, ah, why
-
you like what you got off? Like positive energy? So why was someone
-
speaker no go? And I called my friend and I told her that the
-
Lord said the social goal but the itun go. And later she called me
-
and she was like the Swasha went to but the it no gole as as
-
you said. And later that same day I was the classes. I was
-
done. I was going on with two girls then and so on my wheel
-
went way. We crossed the first road, the second road. We're about
-
to cross to Pickaca. The girl was like, she came, move a
-
leg. Then I held her leg and I was like, yeah, here,
-
but she was struggling. When we're crossing. She was still struggling.
-
And when I go to my court and I was like how you shore like,
-
oh, it's now better like first and I was like wait, wait,
-
wait. So you see when he said he was walking with the two
-
girls, they were like, hey, you know, when you are anointed,
-
it 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 the anointing, because the driving first of the anointing is the Holy
-
Spirit. You see them as Christian sisters, like your own sisters. 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. Do you know why in the spirit 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
-
will be more interested in serving God. Can I hear an amen? Amen.
-
Number sixth 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 you ask you chally 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 foodsball, basketball,
-
you have things to see. All of a sudden, you are not
-
mutes. You are not moving 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 grew
-
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 unto God.
-
You show yourself approved unto God because the Bible says are the Holy 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 Spirit will remind you about.
-
Amen. So when you are in a difficult situation. The Holy Spirit
-
remind you about a scripture. When you're 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 you understand. The Holy
-
Spirit will remind you about the scripture that you have studied, that you have
-
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 Peter 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 viz.
-
Chapter one, verse 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 p Three, verse eight. The
-
Bible says that, but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord
-
Jesus Christ. Second Peter three, verse 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 abcd Amen. The knowledge you should have
-
by now should be able to solve Pythogra's theorems. Amen. You should be
-
able to be solving simultaneous equation, solving dangerous mathematic equations to understand, and
-
so add to your vetue 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't 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. The 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 Bible 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 back slid 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 the
-
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. You understand.
-
God is preparing you for the next generation. God will use many You'll
-
be doctors, you'll be lawyers, some of you said will be presidents,
-
businessmen. But you also be sevenths of God, 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 me to your Lord. If you can't close your eyes, just close
-
your eyes and pray to the Lord. If you are casual about this,
-
you can't 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.
