You Can’t Hide It From God

Our God is Omnipresent and Omniscience. He is everywhere and He knows all things. His word says “our secret sins are in the light of His presence“. I believe sometimes He laughs when He sees us closing doors and windows trying cover the things we do. It is very funny because we cannot hide it from Him. In Acts 5, Ananias and Sapphira thought they were keeping a secret. Hardly did they know they were digging their own graves.

You cannot hide your sins from God.

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:13, NIV)

What account are you going to give on the judgement day?

When Satan tempts you to close doors, windows, or run away to sin, remember that Nothing in all creation is hidden from His sight.

“He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

Every person has got weight, and sin that easily beset him/her so Paul said “since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.” (Hebrews 12, NLT).

What are you hiding from the public?

What sin(s) is/are slowing you down from running your race?

I don’t have any idea but I will encourage you to tell it all to Jesus. He has the Power to save you today.

if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. (1 John 1:9, NLT)

A song writer once said that;

You cannot hide it from God

You may cover your sins that no one else would know

You cannot hide it from God

Intercessory Prayer works

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. (John 10:10, NLT).

(See also 1 Peter 5:8)

Satan isn’t omnipresent so he works with his demons. These guys are responsible for all the evils we see in our cities, countries, and other parts of the world. 1 John 5:19 says the world around us is under the control of the evil one. The good news for us is Jesus holds us securely and Satan cannot touch us. (1 John 5:18). He will try but he will fail.

One truth you should take note of is when the enemy can’t touch you, he attacks people around you. Remember 1 John 5:19 says the world around us is under the control of the evil one. In other words, people who aren’t in Jesus Christ are under the control of Satan. Some of these people are dearer to our hearts. We love them, we care for them, and we want the best for them. Some of the people around us may also not be strong in the Lord. These are the people Satan will attack because he knows when he attacks them the result will affect us in some way.

Haven’t you realised that he is using our political leaders to make laws that affect Christians all over the world?

Friend, we have power to function in the Name of Jesus. James 5:16 says the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Our prayer in the Name of Jesus is powerful and effective so when we pray for these people, we will get the result(s) we need.

Praying for other people works. In the Bible, Abraham prayed for Lot and his family, Moses prayed for the Children of Israel, Jesus prayed for His disciples, and for those who will believe in His Name, and the church prayed for Peter when he was arrested by Herod.

I want to encourage you not to give up on praying for; that child who has gone astray, that person you want to win for Jesus Christ, your family, friends, political leaders, Christians all over the world who are suffering from various attacks every day, your country, your business, etc.

Satan’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. It is true that he wants some to devour BUT our prayer can stop him from attacking vulnerable people.

Keep praying.
