The Altar and the Porch

God said, “Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar” (Joel 2:17).

In a house, the “porch” is the part everybody can see; it represents the more public aspects of a ministry. The altar represents private ministry. In the life of a Christian, there should always be more private than public ministry to God.

When you read about our Lord Jesus, you do not see Him praying in public nearly as much as you see Him praying in private. The Bible says He would often pray through the night and have intimate times alone with His Father. Out of those times in private devotion, public demonstrations of God’s power would be poured forth in healings, raising of the dead, abundance, and more.

Victories are not won in public but in private. That is why fasting is such a private discipline. Where there is little private discipline, there is little public reward.

God’s rewards are for all to see. Just look at the life of Job. He went through a devastating trial and lost everything. His wealth, his family, and his health were all stripped away. Yet he prayed, he fasted, and he remained faithful to private devotion.

Job said, “I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food” (Job 23:12, KJV). And God “restored Job’s losses” and gave him “twice as much as he had before” (Job 42:10). The Bible also says that He “blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning” (v. 42) and even gave him more sons and daughters. God’s open rewards flooded Job’s life.

May the Lord reward you openly because of your secret giving, prayers and fasting. People will look at you and say, “Look what the Lord has done”
