"The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but the things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all of the words of this law." - The Greatest Love Story Ever Told 

 

Whatever God reveals to you, belongs to you and the people you touch daily.

 

If you will dare get into the Word and allow God to unveil your true purpose and destiny, ALL He reveals that you can be, do, dream, hope, imagine, see, pray, possess and obtain belongs to you.

 

There is power in a promise being kept.

 

God told Joshua: "And behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. Know in all your hearts and in all your souls that NOT ONE THING has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one thing of them has failed."  (Jos. 23:14)

 

1 Samuel 3:19 records: "And Samuel grew; the Lord was with him and let NONE of his words fall to the ground."

 

NONE.

 

God is determined not to leave you until He has done all that He has promised.  Seriously, did you think He would limit the dream in your heart to just your physical efforts?

 

RIGHT NOW, God wants to alter your destiny by revealing the secret things that belong to you:

 

  • The anointing, call, industry and nations that belongs to you (because to some people you are completely irrelevant)
  • The blessing and favor that belongs to you
  • His glory, presence and influence that belongs to you
  • The abundance that belongs to you
  • Things kept secret from the foundation of the world
  • Hidden wisdom and riches of secret places
  • Treasures of darkness
  • The deep thoughts, witty inventions, and strategies that flow from God with a destiny of YOU in mind.

But revelation is the key to authority. 

 

Can God trust you with a secret?

 

Dictionary.com defines a "secret" as: a method, formula, plan, etc., kept from the knowledge of any but the initiated or the privileged few; it is something done, made, or conducted without the knowledge of others; it is a mystery, something beyond ordinary human understanding.

 

In 604 BC, King Nebuchadnezzar had a troubling dream that caused him to be agitated throughout the night, losing sleep.  In the morning, failing to remember it, he commanded all the magicians, enchanters, soothsayers and sorcerers to reveal both the dream and interpretation or they would die. 

 

Daniel 2 records:  "The Chaldeans [diviners] answered before the king and said, There is not a man on earth who can show the king this matter, for no king, lord, or ruler has [ever] asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or Chaldean. A rare and weighty thing indeed the king requires! None except the gods can reveal it to the king, and their dwelling is not with [human] flesh."  

 

But there responded a young leader named Daniel who was skillful in all wisdom, discernment, and understanding, apt in learning knowledge and competent to stand and serve in the king's palace, yet he was a subordinate:

 

"And Daniel went in and desired of the king that he would set a date and give him time, and he would SHOW THE KING THE INTERPRETATION.  Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, so that they would desire and request mercy of the God of heaven CONCERNING THIS SECRET, that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon." (Dan. 2:16-18)

 

Everyone else said, "NO ONE IN THE WORLD CAN DO THIS."  But Daniel refused to be destroyed with those that did not know "the secret things."  He asked the king for a date and time to seek out the interpretation.  The Spirit of God always challenges us to do things that others cannot do.  You don't have to perish with those that have a lack of knowledge, initiative, intuition, creative power and ideas.  God takes our discipline, tenacity and passion in His Presence to turn it into creative ability designed to bless us and generations to come. 

 

When Daniel needed to save his job and life, he prayed:

 

"God, give me a solution.  I don't want to fall to the crisis, shortage and lack of vision that is affecting my industry; TELL ME THE SECRET; GIVE ME A WORD THAT IS RARE; release creativity and ideas; release skill, understanding and wisdom into my life that others do not have; as I study, pray and fast, open my eyes; set excellence and distinction on me."

 

As a result, Daniel saved not only his job and life, but the positions and lives of his co-workers as well (READ MORE.)

 

Whose jobs and lives can you influence and save?  What problem for your employer, client and industry can you solve? 

 

God created you to solve problems, not be one.  When God shows you a secret (a solution, an insight to a problem) and gives you an idea or Word that saves you from perishing with all the rest, IT IS TO CHANGE THE TIMES AND SEASONS IN YOUR LIFE;  To remove someone else to set you up; to make room for the increase of your true gift and purpose.

 

The strategy of the Word of God put promotion in Daniel's future.

 

God revealed a "secret" strategy or weapon to increase his value among men.

 

In Babylon, no one knew who Daniel was.  He was a secret to society until he did something that no one else on the planet could do.  When Daniel revealed the secret and demonstrated his gift and value to the King, three exciting things happened:

 

1.       There was a wealth transfer.  The king ordered that an offering be made in honor of his God (v. 46)

2.       The king worshipped and acknowledged Daniel's God.  Daniel's ability to flow with vision and in his gifts with excellence increased the visibility of his God in the workplace and kingdom.  (v. 47)

3.      The king made him great and gave him many great gifts, and he made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon. (v.48)

 

Expect no less in your life.

 

Today, as you lead, I am pray for the divine release of deep and secret things.  Don't you dare hide yourself from opportunities or feared assignments (that no one wants) in the recession; I command the release of boldness, treasures (of darkness) and hidden riches of secret places to flow to you.

 

Get ready for the wealth transfer.
