THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD BELONG TO YOU
/
“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 13:11
God’s truths are hidden for His children, not from
them. He has given to us His
mysteries, which are those truths that can only be understood by His
children. Only born-again believers can
receive divine revelation to know how the kingdom of God operates.
God wants all people to enter and to enjoy His kingdom. He has given an open invitation to everyone
to receive the spiritual rebirth that entitles them to the revelation of these
mysteries of the kingdom. “But the natural man does not receive the
things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know
them, because they are spiritually discerned” (I Corinthians 2:14). For you to know the mysteries of the kingdom
of God, they must be spiritually discerned.
Therefore, whoever rejects Jesus; rejects the source of wisdom and
knowledge. “In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians
2:3).
The Scriptures instruct us we are to understand God’s wisdom
through His Spirit. Satan and his imps
cannot understand God’s wisdom because it is spiritually discerned. They are spiritually dead, and God has hidden
His wisdom from them. God reveals what
He has prepared for you by His Spirit.
You cannot receive this information if you are spiritually lazy and undiscerning.
The Scripture clearly explains that it
is through the Holy Spirit teaching us by comparing spiritual things with
spiritual. When an individual does not
continue to grow in revelation, he or she will eventually lose whatever truth
they have and go into deception. God
reveals His truths to us in stages, not all at once “Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the
message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For
precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept. Line upon line, line upon
line, here a little, there a little” (Isaiah 28:9-10).
In this passage of Scripture (Matthew 13:11-23), Jesus spoke
about those who have revelation knowledge of the mysteries of God. They will receive even more revelation and
will walk in the abundant life He provided.
As you walk in the revelation of what the Lord has already shown to you,
He will reveal more of His truths to you.
The truths of God are mysterious only to those who do not soften their
hearts by seeking Him with their whole hearts.
As Jeremiah 29:13 says, “And you will
seek Me, and find Me, when you will search for Me with all your heart.”
Prayer—Father I ask
you to stir My Spirit to seek You will all of my heart so that I can understand
the mysteries of Your kingdom that You have prepared for me, in Jesus Name.
Amen.
