GIVEN TO YOU TO KNOW

It is given to you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom […] blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see and did not see it, and to hear what you hear and did not hear it (Matthew 13:11, 16-17)

In the above passages, Jesus tells us that many prophets and righteous men wanted to sit down at the table with God and converse with Him as He unfolded to them the secrets of the ages; many prophets wanted to have what you and I sometimes take for granted. You and I are privileged to have audience with God at any time without a prior appointment or consideration for His schedule or with regards to what He might be doing. He is with us. He can never leave us. We are now His house, the place where He dwells! What a privilege! What blessedness! He is wonderful to give us such a covenant!

Since it has been given us to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God and to hear things uttered by His Spirit that have never been spoken to man, we must become proactive in everything. We have been given so much in regard to things eternal. He causes us to reign in life!

Let us look to Him who is the author and finisher of our faith; Jesus who has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. The scripture says, “He has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him” (2 Peter 1:3). Therefore, let us understand Him and thus do the will of God.

We have the mind of Christ. This mind always wants to express itself in every area of life. Be encouraged as you seek His understanding.
