God has been so good to all of His people in so many ways that it is impossible to count them all. But in appreciation for the wonderful things He has done, there are people in Christ's church who are living an "undercover" life, who appear to be living a decent life, but in actuality they are doing deeds behind the scenes they do not want anyone to know. 

Behind the scenes, these people are hellish, rude, peace breakers, strife starters, midnight club goers, thieves, abusers, molesters, violent, seducers, and bad influencers, who when they are in front of the pastor, the first lady, and the mothers of the church, appear to be living an appropriate and modest life. But they are purposely hiding some pages of their day to day walk with Christ, they don't want you to see. They only want you to know, only what they want you to know.

Whatever you are doing undercover may be a secret to the church, but it is not a secret to God - "Where shall I go from your spirit? or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there" (Psalms 139:7-8).

You are therefore encouraged as required by God, to live in a manner appropriate for those who are children of light, leaving the deeds you are doing undercover.

If you are doing the same deeds as the world, and are trying to hide it, then there is no difference between you and them, and they know it. Your life should not be comparatively the same as those of the world.
