Read: John 15:1-8

Meditation verse:

“The Lord has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to  speak a word in season to him who is weary. He awakens me morning by  morning; He awakens my ear to hear as the learned” (Isaiah 50:4).

Telling people what human teachers have taught us might be of some help to  them, but the most impactful words are spoken by those who have been taught  by the Lord. The times we spend in God’s presence is like going into a secret  chamber where treasures are kept. God’s presence is the secret chamber and  some of the treasures inside include revelation, wisdom, clarity, riches, insight,  understanding, power, knowledge, peace, and strength which we can bring out  for our own use or for others. The messages written in this daily devotional are  received as I visit the secret chamber. How else would I have been able to write  a message daily for the past one year? Indeed, most of the ideas I work on in my  ministry and profession are revealed as I spent time in God’s presence. 

How often do you visit this secret chamber? When was the last time you visited?  Do you even have a regular time of the day which you have set aside to meet  with God? John 15:5-8 says “I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides  in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If  anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and  they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide  in Me, and My words abide in you, you[b] will ask what you desire, and it shall  be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so, you  will be My disciples. 

Make it a habit of going into the secret chamber each morning, and you would  be amazed at the treasures you will discover. Spending time in God’s presence  is a time-tested principle for success in every area of human endeavour.
