And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speaketh thou unto them in
parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know
the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given Matthew
13:10-11.
Just like the disciples, whom the Master was addressing in our opening
scripture, you also have been granted the ability to know and understand
spiritual mysteries. In Ephesians 1:17-18, Paul prayed, “That the God of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom
and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being
enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the
riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.” This, however, should no
longer be just a prayer for you; respond to it and appropriate it into your
life, because that’s the will of God for you. God wants you to have insight
into mysteries and secrets, with your spirit flooded with light to see and
apprehend your heritage, and identity in Christ. So, you say, “I‘ve been given
the spirit of wisdom and revelation, in the knowledge of God; the eyes of my
understanding are enlightened; therefore, I know the hope of my calling;
spiritual realities are unveiled to me! I know who I am, and all that belongs
to me in Christ.” It’s important to respond to the Word this way because faith
is the response of the human spirit to the Word of God. Psalm 25:14 lets us
know that the secret of the LORD is with them that reverence Him. He unveils
His will to them. When you have the holy fear of God, and honour Him in your
life, He will give you revelations of His Word, and make Himself known to you
in a special way. The words of Jesus further amplify this in John 14:21: “He
that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he
that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will
manifest myself to him.”
PRAYER: I have the ability to know and understand the mysteries of the
Kingdom, because the Lord has enlightened my spirit; therefore, I walk in the
light, and manifest the same to my world! Thank you Lord, for being my light,
and also for making me the light of the world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
