THE SOUND OF AWAKENING: STIRRING THE SLUMBERING CHURCH (4)
Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional
Date: Saturday, 5 April 2025
Focus: Return to the Secret Place
Message:
Revival starts when people wake up. This devotional is a prophetic call to shake off apathy and rise in fire.
Key Verse:
📖 Ephesians 5:14 – “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Devotional:
Revival is not born on stages—it’s born in secret places. Before God shakes nations, He visits individuals. If you want to hear the sound of awakening in your generation, it must begin with the whispers of God in your quiet time. The secret place is where distractions die, pride melts, and fire descends. It’s where intimacy is restored, and fresh oil begins to flow again. God is not looking for noisy crowds; He’s looking for hidden hearts—those who will shut the door, kneel in secret, and burn in worship when no one is watching.
📖 Scripture Reading:
Matthew 6:6 – “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father… will reward you.”
💧 Refreshing for the Day:
Beloved, the altar in public will never burn if the altar in private is cold. Revival is sustained in secret long before it’s seen in public. So, if you’ve drifted from the secret place, today is the call to return. No more spiritual distance. No more empty religion. No more surface-level encounters. Come back. Go deeper. Stay longer. The fire is waiting. Be intentional about your time with God today. Turn off distractions. Carve out space. Speak less, listen more. Ask the Holy Spirit to meet you there—and He will. This is not just a return. It’s a rekindling. Stay Refreshed!
✨ Note This:
The secret place is not a location. It’s a lifestyle.
🛡️ Responsibilities:
- Block out 30 minutes today for uninterrupted time alone with God.
- Bring a journal. Expect Him to speak. Don’t rush. Just be with Him.
🙏 Prayer:
Lord, I return. I’ve allowed life, ministry, and noise to pull me away—but today, I come back to the altar of intimacy. Rekindle my love, my hunger, my attention. I want to burn for You in the secret place. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
🔥 Prophetic Declaration:
I rebuild the altar. I return to the fire. I am no longer distant—I dwell in the secret place, and I will burn in intimacy! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
📖 Bible Texts:
Ephesisns 5:14, Psalm 139:23-24, Matt. 6:6
