THE GLORIOUS POWER OF THE MYSTERIES IN THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD ~ Pst. Pastor Enock Nuwagaba
I am very grateful to God for this golden opportunity to share God's word that will quicken your lives afresh in your spirits.
Let me start with acknowledging Ap Gideon, who's a great encouragement in this work of ministry.
Let's begin with Matthew 13:11 "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.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."
Here in this chapter, Jesus, our LORD, had begun teaching His disciples the series of truth about the kingdom of God in heaven.
The kingdom of God is one of the most important teachings in the word of which Church today seldom teaches. Yet we see, it was Jesus' first gospel He preached in Matthew 4:17. Even John the Baptist began by announcing how the kingdom is very near,therefore, you ought all to repent(see (Matthew 3:2).
He also reminded his congratulations on the soon coming kingdom. Lastly but least, Jesus affirmed to Pilate and all that were present that the major cause of His coming on earth, be born, was because He had to set up His kingdom, 📚 John 18:35-38.
Now we have to know that God is a king who rules a very vast kingdom that is eternal. He is not a president or a governor who is looking for your help to be voted again to remain on the throne. He's a king on His own.
In Proverbs 25:2, we see that God glories so much in concealing matters,but kings also feel powerful when they search out a hidden matter and find it. God's kingdom of heaven has got a lot of mysteries, and He only reveals to those that have decided to live in Him and for Him.
From the fifth chapter of Mathew to the end of that book, Our LORD only taught His disciples mainly on truths regarding the kingdom of God. But mostly His teachings was rendered in parables so that those who are not His may hear and understand not, but you who's in His kingdom you granted the privilege of understanding those mysteries( hidden truths that are beyond our minds to comprehend).
You see we ve been educated, trained to think, reason because this realm is only limited to the use of senses only. That's why you find it hard to believe God when you have not seen anything.
You want to prove it first by psychology, etc, but in the realm where God dwells is always veiled and you need the help of Holy Spirit to reveal to you some truths, and when you know, then they will make you free...📚 Jn 8:32.
The Bible has already told us that God always conceals things. The reason is that the enemy should not easily access them. He hides them for you, not from you. He does it for your elevation and for your glory. Every kingdom is powerful according to how much mysteries the king has.
When we 📚 read Daniel the 2nd chapter, we see how God used this truth of revealing His mysteries to His servants, later it turned into a very powerful victory and a big blessing to God's servants who were in a strange country as captives, but later they became honoured leaders.
This is exactly that happens to any child of God who will learn how to navigate into the world of mysteries and solve any hard issue in life. In verses 46 to the end, we see that after Daniel learnt the plot of king
Nebuchadnezzar bcoz of forgetting his own dream, deciding to slay all the magicians, sorcerers,wise men including Daniel and his colleagues, he decided to pray to God together with his friends.
And at night , the LORD revealed the mystery to him and in the morning he went and met the king + all noble people in the kingdom. Then after Daniel had talked, the king fell down, bowed b4 him, confessed as the God of Daniel is greater than all gods.
He gave him alot of gifts and made him to sit in the highest place in all Babylon.
📚 read also 1Cor 2:6-11, you will see its you to learn how you yield and align to the Holy Spirit who's able to go and search deep in the heart of God. The Apostle puts it clear, the are several kinds of wisdom but at times they are rendered nought,unefficient when God's hidden or mysterious wisdom shows up to you,as it was with Daniel.
What then shall we say about Joseph in Egypt 🇪🇬, Solomon. Its after you have navigated deep in the God zone with the Holy Spirit,that you stumble upon these mysteries,and your life will not remain the same.
Your carrier,your ministry, business etc will take another dimension. Kings will to your bright light, strangers will come and serve you,for your wisdom is far excellent and glorious. That's when you will discover all God meant to be yours,see vs 9. If God had not hid His wisdom, counsel and purposes, the devil would allow to crucify Jesus. He regreted but it was late. He did it for your glory....
Let's pray. Repeat these words with me.Dear Jesus thank for revealing to me all these truths, I believe my life won't remain the same. Whatsoever is written about me in your kingdom LORD that is meant for my destiny to materialise, let it be revealed to me now. Any kind of truth sent to liberate me, let know it LORD, in Jesus' name...Amen 🙏
