Whenever something great is about to happen things change. When God was about to bless Abraham, He had to uproot him from certain things.

Don't expect something in the public when it has not happened in the secret place. We have to learn how to engage the secret place so that public display will not be zero. For us to be productive in the public our engagement in the secret place needs to have intensity, we need to engage His presence until there is a conception for results to be there. 

Jacob could not let go even in the night until he got his answers. When will God ever say, "I will return to you again"; when will He ever enjoy being with you. Don't despise His presence, engage in the secret place until you produce results.
