Beloved, one of the characteristics of those who are children of God is power. Anytime you see a child of God, one of those things that will show you that such a person is a child of God is the power of God that he or she carries. John 1:12 says But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. By the grace of God, we are going to focus on an issue that has to do with the secret of having the power of God. It is a correct desire to want power. Power is the right of everyone who is a child of God. God gives power to His people. The power that God wants to give today is one to achieve maximally, to do great exploits and operate supernaturally. The real focus, however, is on what you can do as a child of God. The secret of having power with God is to dwell in the secret place.

Psalm 91:1 says He that dwelleth in the secret place of the highest shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty¨. I know that you might have read this passage many times, but most times when we read this Psalm 91, we run through verse one and jump to the other verses without paying due attention to this first verse, but the truth that I want you to hold on to today is that all the promises that are in this chapter are conditional on the fulfillment of verse one. Many people want the prize but they do not want to pay the price. In order to flow in the power of God, there is the price of the secret place that you and I must pay. One of the problems of the church today is that many are benchwarmers but God does not want you and me to be ordinary Christians. God wants you and me to be greater than what we are now but many potentials are dying in the lives of many of His children. God wants you to become a Christian with power so that when people see you, they must see the power of God in you. As a child of God, you must carry the greatness of God everywhere you go. It is a shame for somebody to see you as a Christian and does not want to be like you.

This message is coming at this strategic time because very soon, people will see you and bow down to your God. They will then ask you what the secret is. It is a secret place. What is the secret of operating in the power of God? It is dwelling in the secret place of God. If you want the power of God in your life, you must dwell in the secret place of God. Do you want the power of God?

The secret of operating in the power of God is the secret place. Beloved, if you find an army succeeding in battles, the secret of that victory is the secret place. The secret place of the army is a room they called the Strategic Room¨. They do not allow everybody into the room but only the officers that are involved in strategy and planning. It is in this room that they plan on how to defeat the enemy.

Visit lecturers at the University and observe the ones that are succeeding. The secret of their success is the secret place of God. Such lecturers have a place in their house that they call the Study. This is where they prepare for lectures ahead of the class, write their projects, etc. Beloved, the same way believers who want to have the power of God, who do not want to be ordinary Christians must also have the secret place.

What is the secret place of believers?

1. It is the place where you receive power from God Almighty. Let me tell you this: No secret place, no power. The more you dwell in the secret place of God the more power you will have as a Christian

2. The secret place is that place you go to and receive secret instructions from the Almighty God. That activity you partake in that makes it easy for God to pass information to your life is the secret place.

3. It is that place where God releases His power into your life. Let me tell you today that God has a secret place and it is only those believers that dwell in the secret place of the Almighty that enjoy His power to the fullest.

Many believers today are not enjoying what they should enjoy as children of God because they do not know how to dwell in the secret place. Some of them visit the secret place but do not dwell there. The Christian life of many of us today is Surface Christianity. I pray today that as you read this message, your Christian life will change for the better in Jesus name.
