Today’s clear-cut message is from the Lord (the Body Head) to the Body of Christ in Nigeria and across the planet earth. It is a message that if run with, can make a giant out of you. It is a message that has transformed many lives, including my own.
Now, many believers lack clarity on many issues of life, because they are rarely left alone with Jesus in the place of meditation. And many believers find it hard as diamond to withdraw from the noise around their homes and places of work into a quiet-place to be with Jesus. Remember, to be left alone with Jesus is to be left alone with the Light! And no one has an encounter with the Light and remains the same.
The Lord said I should tell you that you would get answers to all the questions you have been battling with (for years) when you learn to be alone with Him. Jesus wants to “explain all things” to you as He did explain to the 1st century disciples: “And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples (Mark 4:34).”
Kindly understand that there is a time to be found with people and there is a time to be found with Jesus alone. The truth is; one of my major strengths in life and ministry is being alone with Jesus! It is when I am alone with Jesus that He explains the scriptures and issues of life to me. Many are in spiritual darkness today on many issues of life and ministry, because they have chosen not to be constantly alone with Jesus.

Without being alone with Jesus, you cannot have an encounter with Him. Many believers are desirous of an encounter with Jesus, but they are too busy to be alone with Him. Oh that you will start being alone with Jesus from this beautiful moment!
Taking this message further, it was when Jacob was “left alone” that he had an encounter with God: “Then Jacob was left alone, and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day (Genesis 32: 24).” It was that singular encounter that caused him to receive the blessing of a change of identity—his name was changed from Jacob to Israel. It was that encounter that completely turned his life around.
I read about how some of the men of old would go into the forest to be alone with Jesus and supernatural happenings usually would ensue each time they come out for public ministry. Hear me, it is when you are consistently alone with Jesus that the Lord will move you from one level of the anointing to another—till you get to the overflowing phase in the anointing: “And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up in my ankles. Again he measured one thousand and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles. Again, he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist. Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed (Ezekiel 47:3-6).” You can get deeper in the anointing, if you will constantly withdraw to be alone with Jesus!

The outpouring in Acts 2 also happened when they were alone, waiting on Jesus: “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come; they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly, there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it willed the whole house where they were sitting (Acts 2:1-2).” Without learning to be constantly alone with Jesus, there cannot be any outpouring of the Holy Spirit on your life!
Now hear me, the anointing decreases when you stop being alone with Jesus—till the anointing completely fizzles out. The accurate cry of the Spirit is that believers of today should start cultivating the habit of constantly being alone with Jesus. Also, there are too far many things that you do not know that the Lord Jesus wants to reveal and explain to you, but He cannot do so, if you detest being alone with Him.
Lastly, genuine walk with Jesus is usually developed being alone—either being constantly indoors or alone somewhere quiet. Also, it is impossible for you to birth anything great as a believer—on the condition that you do not like being found alone. May your understanding become fruitful, so you can be able to run with this message from the Lord!
