Pastor Vlad concluded his series on the Secret Place with the sermon about discovering your I must. He went further into how Jesus calls us to be fruitful and not just busy. We must discover in our relationship with him about what is our purpose and our assignment from Jesus.
1. We are called to be fruitful not just busy.
I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5
Abiding in Jesus makes impossible possible.
Pressure to produce fruit is on the Vine, not branches.
2. We are called to have productivity not just activity.
Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw 1 Corinthians 3:12
Don’t just build your life on Christ, build it with Christ.
Wood-hay-straw or gold-silver-precious stones:
Found on the ground; discovered under ground Comes in big quantities; found in small quantities Cheap; expensive
Common; rare
Destroyed by fire; purified by fire
For our work to have significance it must come out of our secret place.
Christians should not focus on losing their salvation; they should focus on not losing their reward.
3. We are called to fulfill our assignment not everyone's agenda.
Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them; but He said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. Luke 4:42-43
Our identity is in relationship, not revival.
If the only time we pray is when we have issues - we don’t have intimacy.
Secret place gives you power not to live in reaction toward earth but in response toward heaven.
Our assignment is finishable.
I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. John 17:4
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7
Secret place is the place where we discover and rediscover our “I MUST”
