*Topic: God Will Reward You Openly

*Focus Word
“5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly” (Matthew 6:5-6).

*The Word
What you do in secret will carry you in public. Most outstanding public exploits are products of secret preparations. The sportsman who made a strong field performance spent time preparing in secret.

The artistes who sang beautifully on the stage to a cheering crowd spent time preparing in secret.

The pastor who preached an impactful sermon spent time studying the Bible, praying or reading extensively.

Not great thing happens without preparation. Committing time to honing your skills in secret is necessary to delivering brilliantly in the open. Committing time to praying in secret is important to doing exploits openly.

Daniel had a secret praying life. He was a force to reckon with in Babylon (Daniel 6:10).

Scripture tells us, “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly” (Matthew 6:6).

God will reward you openly for the time you commit to studying your book in secret as much as He will for the time you commit to praying.

God will reward you for the time you invested in honing your skills in secret as much as He will for the time you commit to worshipping in secret.

No one emerges suddenly. Committing time to working in secret is important to dominating publicly.

How do you strengthen your secret space:
1. Decide the minimum time you will commit to praying on your own daily.
2. Decide the minimum chapters of the Bible you must read daily.
3. Decide the minimum time you will commit to rehearsing in your talent area daily.
4. Decide what day of the week you must fast.
5. Decide the minimum time you will commit to reading to know more daily.

Remember that what you do in secret is what will carry you in public.

I invite you to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Also, forsake your sins. Jesus is the Wisdom and Power of God (1 Corinthians 1:23-24).

*Action Word
Commit time to doing something worthwhile to build your life in secret.

*Prayer Points
1. Father, thank You for Your Word for Today. Thank You for my breath and life and everything I have. Be glorified, in Jesus Name.
2. Father, help me to live a life that honours You, in the Name of Jesus.
3. I decree and declare that the year 2025 shall favour me in Jesus Name.
