Hidden Manna

June 25 – Hidden Manna Devotional

To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna (Rev. 2:17).

When I first began my journey as a New Christian, I believed that a remarkable spiritual gift would unlock God’s power in me. I yearned for signs and wonders. Indeed, God graciously allowed me to witness miracles in various settings. But I also saw those who performed them later return to sin. Through this, I learned that God rarely works through flashy displays—His work is often quiet and unseen, nourishing us deep within.

Many believers mistake spiritual strength for church attendance or acquiring knowledge. They feel uplifted by sermons, fellowship, and Bible study, yet remain spiritually hungry. True nourishment comes from the hidden manna—Jesus Himself. When we spend time alone with Him, in silence and worship, He becomes our spiritual sustenance.

Ask yourself: Do you approach God only with your list of needs? Or do you pause to praise, worship, adore, and magnify His Name? Eating the hidden manna means filling your soul with His presence, not just consuming information. You may memorize verses or fast for days, yet feel empty—because you missed the secret of feeding on Christ Himself.

When I relied purely on Bible knowledge, I felt spiritually starved. But when I learned to adore the Living Bread, my soul was fully satisfied. The hidden manna isn’t knowledge—it’s relationship: intimacy with Jesus in quiet worship and adoration.

Finding hope in the promise of John 15:7

Finding hope in the promise of John 15:7

“…ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” — John 15:7 (KJV)

In the time of exile, King Cyrus made an open decree allowing the Jews to return to Jerusalem. But many chose to stay back. Why? They didn’t believe the promise. In the same way, if we as believers fail to trust and claim the promises of God, we prevent Him from working in and through our lives.

Many today claim to believe in the Bible, yet do not follow its teachings. They are drawn more toward man-made rituals and religious customs than obedience to God’s Word. They say they trust in God, but when needs arise—especially financial—they turn to people instead of trusting the Lord fully.

It is especially noticeable during healing campaigns. People claim faith for healing, yet when it comes to finances, they seek man’s help. But the same God who heals is also our Provider. He is more than able to meet all our needs—spiritual, physical, and financial.

The key lies in obedience. God works on behalf of those who obey Him completely and walk by His Word. According to John 15:7, if we abide in Jesus—allowing Him to lead every part of our life—then His promise will come to pass:
“…ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”

Nehemiah is a beautiful example. He believed God, stepped out in obedience, and saw the hand of God move in his favor.

Put away sin by the sacrifice – 7 words on Cross

June 22 Devotional

“…now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.” — Hebrews 9:26 (KJV)

In the Old Testament, only the high priest could enter the Most Holy Place in the tabernacle—and that too just once a year. He wasn’t allowed to go in without the blood of the sacrificial animal. He wore special robes known as garments of glory and beauty (Exodus 28:2,4). These included a white robe, a blue outer robe with golden bells and pomegranates along its hem, and the ephod—a richly woven garment made from gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen. Over the ephod, he wore a breastplate with twelve stones representing the twelve tribes of Israel, with the Urim and Thummim beneath it.

These garments symbolized divine majesty. But when it was time to present the blood offering to God on behalf of the people, the high priest removed these glorious garments and wore simple white linen. This signified that he had to humble himself—become like an ordinary man—before approaching God.

This points to the humility of our Lord Jesus Christ. He didn’t come as an angel, although He had the power to. Instead, He came as a man (Hebrews 2:16), just like us. Why? Because angels cannot die, and they cannot understand human suffering. But Jesus became like us so that He could be a merciful and faithful High Priest on our behalf.

Every year on the Day of Atonement, the Israelites gathered from distant places. They remained outside the tabernacle, confessing their sins while placing their hands on the sacrificial animal. This animal symbolized Jesus Christ, who took the punishment we deserved. Once slain, the high priest would carry the blood into the Holy of Holies and sprinkle it on the mercy seat. Then, divine fire from heaven consumed the blood, showing that God had accepted the sacrifice and forgiven the people.

The high priest would then return and declare that he had seen God’s acceptance and that their sins were forgiven. That moment was the most joyful day for the entire nation.

Yet, all these Old Testament rituals were just a shadow of what was to come. The perfect sacrifice is the Lord Jesus Himself. Through His own blood, He made a way to completely cleanse and perfect all who come to Him.

🙏 Reflect and Share

Let this truth remind us today: we are made whole not by religious acts, but by the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

1 God shall supply all your needs

God shall supply all your needs

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:19 (KJV)

During the time the Israelites were rebuilding the ruined walls and burned gates of Jerusalem, they faced strong resistance from their enemies. The progress of God’s work was blocked, not just by outside forces, but also by internal struggles, especially a lack of love and unity among themselves. A severe famine had hit the land, forcing many to mortgage their lands, homes, and vineyards just to survive (see Nehemiah 5:3–4). Sadly, some even began charging interest on loans to their fellow Jews.

As believers of the New Christian faith, it’s our divine calling to support one another in times of need. Ignoring this responsibility disrupts the flow of God’s work. True children of God are not meant to beg for food or money (Psalm 34:10; 37:25). Those who constantly look to others instead of trusting God often remain in a cycle of dependency.

In the teachings of the Christian prayer church, we understand that those in need should turn to Christian prayer, not complaints. At the same time, those who are blessed with more must seek God’s guidance to find and bless the needy. When this spiritual balance is maintained under God’s direction, all needs are fulfilled, and nothing is wasted.

A few years ago, I had the privilege of staying with a humble family rooted in New Christian prayer. The head of the family had recently lost his job, and one day, they had absolutely no food—not even a slice of bread. Yet, instead of panicking, the whole family, including the little children, gathered to pray. They didn’t murmur or worry; they believed.

As we were deep in prayer, a sudden loud noise came from the front door. We thought someone had thrown a heavy stone. But when we opened it, we found a large sack filled with bread, vegetables, and enough food to feed the entire household.

God had answered before we even finished praying. This testimony is a powerful reminder to every believer at the New Christian prayer church: begging dishonors the Provider, but praying in faith brings provision in His perfect timing.

 

God Speaks from His 1 Holy Place

God Speaks from His Holy Place

 “And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat.”

— Numbers 7:89
When God instructed the Israelites to build Him a sanctuary,

He gave Moses very specific guidelines. As we read in Exodus 25:40, the Lord told Moses, “See that you make them after the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.” From chapters 25 to 40 in Exodus, we are given a detailed blueprint of how the tabernacle should be built. Once every instruction was followed and the work was completed just as the Lord commanded Moses, the glory of  Trinity God descended and filled the tabernacle (Exodus 40:34).

From that moment forward, Jesus’s voice would be heard from between the cherubim on the mercy seat (Numbers 7:89). Anyone who wanted to know Jesus’s will had to go through Moses or Aaron. They would seek God’s direction, and the Lord would speak clearly from the Holy Place. A cloud or pillar of fire rested upon the tabernacle, symbolizing God’s presence. When the cloud lifted—whether after days, weeks, or even months—it signaled that it was time for the people to move forward. These two symbols—God speaking and God leading—defined the sanctuary.

According to Hebrews 8:5, the tabernacle was “a shadow and example of heavenly things.” It was not just a structure; it was a symbol of something much greater. In the same way, the true House of Christ today is not a building made of stone or concrete. Instead, it is found among those of us who are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, who are born again and walking in His truth.

At New Christian Prayer Church, we believe that the true Church is alive wherever God’s voice is heard and His presence leads. Whether we gather in a large hall or a small room, what makes us the House of Christ  is this:

That God speaks and reveals His will

That His presence is with us in power and glory

Unfortunately, many places of worship today are filled not with God’s voice but with human pride, greed, and division. That is not the true House of Jesus. The New Christian prayer church aims to restore the original pattern of worship where Jesus Word is central, and His presence is our guide.

We invite you to be a part of this New Christian journey, to grow in Christian prayer, and to seek the voice and presence of God together as one body in Christ.
