Hidden Manna

by

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.

1 God shall supply all your needs

by

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.

We Are 1 in Christ

by

We Are 1 in Christ

📖 “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 12:12 (KJV)

In the church at Corinth, believers were divided into different groups and began identifying themselves with various names (1 Corinthians 1:12–13). The same happens today — we call ourselves Baptist, Methodist, Anglican, Pentecostal, and so on. But in reality, we all belong to Christ. These labels create separation. As new Christians, we are called to unity, not division. Jesus is not divided, and we should not be either.

Once, when applying for a license to conduct marriages, I was asked, “What is your denomination?” I responded, “We are part of the Body of Christ — we have no label, we are simply Christians.” Then they asked how many members we had. I said, “We don’t keep formal membership. Everyone who is born again is welcome. We are all equal before God.” That is the heart of New Christian Prayer Church — unity in Jesus alone.

When we lay hands in prayer, we show that we are one in spirit. Education, wealth, or social status does not give anyone a higher place — it is only by God’s grace. As Paul said, “But by the grace of God I am what I am…” (1 Corinthians 15:10). If we are given gifts to preach or teach, it is not because we earned them — it’s all from Him.

In the early church, Peter was corrected by Paul when he made a distinction between Jewish and Gentile believers (Galatians 2:11–14). Even today, in places like India, believers still face caste-based divisions. Others may say that without confirmation, you cannot take Holy Communion. These are false ideas — true Christian teaching tells us that everyone who is born again is equal in Jesus .

Let us not participate in any tradition or ritual that causes division. As members of the New Christian Prayer Church and as new Christians, we are part of one family. We are saved by grace, not by our titles or practices. Let us remain as one, walk in love, and pray in unity.

 

Call to Build God’s Spiritual House

Title: Chosen to Bear Lasting Fruit: A Call to Build God’s Spiritual House

Verse of the Day:

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last…”
– John 15:16

As new Christians walking with God, we must understand that being chosen by the Lord is a divine calling filled with responsibility. It is not merely for personal blessings, but to live a fruitful life that brings eternal value. At the New Christian Prayer Church, we believe that each one of us is called to serve God’s eternal purpose—building His spiritual house.

From Gilgal to Glory: The Journey of Fruitful Service

In 2 Kings 2:1, we see Elijah and Elisha begin their spiritual journey from Gilgal, a place whose name means “rolled away.” This reminds us of Joshua 5:9, where the Lord rolled away the reproach of Egypt from His people. Gilgal represents a place of spiritual cleansing and restoration.

As a new Christian, it is vital to understand that before you can serve God effectively, you must deal with your past failures, weaknesses, and hidden sins. The Lord wants to remove every reproach from your life. Even when we fall into sin or make mistakes, He gives us the precious blood of Jesus to cleanse and restore us. What He asks in return is a humble heart—a heart that continually seeks His forgiveness and allows Him to search and purify every area of our thoughts, words, and actions.

Let us not live in self-condemnation. Instead, let us live in daily Christian prayer, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us, cleanse us, and make us ready for fruitful ministry.

Bethel – Knowing God’s House

In 2 Kings 2:2, Elijah tells Elisha, “The Lord has sent me to Bethel.” The name Bethel means “House of God” or “Heavenly Home.” But here is a spiritual truth: God’s House is not a physical building—it is His people. As the Bible teaches in 1 Peter 2:5, each believer is a living stone being built into a spiritual house for God.

Many believers today are confused, thinking church is about buildings, denominations, or Sunday gatherings. But God’s real desire is to build a spiritual home made of transformed lives, rooted in Jesus Christ. This is what we stand for at New Christian Prayer Church. We are not building a name or a denomination—we are building the House of God with Christ as the Rock and Chief Cornerstone.

As you grow in your Christian faith, your responsibility is to understand what the Church truly is—not a program or event, but a divine structure built with lives redeemed and changed by Christ. Every soul you lead to Christ should be taught how to become part of this House. That’s how you bear fruit that remains.

Building with Purpose and Revelation

Ephesians 2:20–22 reveals that God’s House must be built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ Himself as the Chief Cornerstone. Likewise, Hebrews 3:6 reminds us that Christ is faithful over God’s House as a Son. This spiritual building is not man-made; it is divinely designed and must be built according to God’s plan.

If your ministry, preaching, or testimony does not help build this House, it may be considered wood, hay, and stubble—works that will not stand the test of time (1 Corinthians 3:12-15). At New Christian Prayer Church, we urge every new Christian to seek revelation about God’s eternal purpose for the Church. This is not just another fellowship; it is His eternal dwelling.

Discouragements and Separation

In 2 Kings 2:3, we see the sons of the prophets try to discourage Elisha. In the same way, as you begin to obey God’s voice and respond to His calling, you may face discouragement from your friends, family, or even fellow believers. They may question your decisions, warn you of sacrifice, or tempt you to take an easier path.

But true fruitfulness demands whole-hearted obedience. There will be times when you must separate yourself from unspiritual influences. This does not mean we hate people, but it means we prioritize God’s voice over human opinions. Spiritual separation is essential if you want to fulfill God’s calling for your life.

A Prayer for Today

Dear my Father and my LORD,
Thank You for choosing me and calling me to bear fruit that will last. Cleanse me with the precious blood of Jesus from every weakness, failure, and hidden sin. Search my heart and remove anything that brings reproach to Your Name. Give me a revelation of Your Church and teach me how to take my part in building Your House. Help me stand firm in my calling, even when others discourage me. Let my life bring glory to You and become a stone in Your spiritual house.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.

At New Christian Prayer Church, we invite every believer—especially every new Christian—to grow in their calling, understand the Church, and walk in daily Christian prayer. May your life become fruitful for God’s glory, and may your works stand the test of eternity.
