- "In Him all the treasures of [divine] wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God) and [all the riches of spiritual] knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden." (Col 2:3)
- "And I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, Who calls you by your name." (Isa 45:3)
- "Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and tremble with joy [at the glorious deliverance] and be enlarged; because the abundant wealth of the [Dead] Sea shall be turned to you, unto you shall the nations come with their treasures." (Isa 60:5)
Treasure is coming to you (God's treasury and storehouse) in chains and subjection.
God lays up the wealth of nations to serve every dream, promise, purpose and plan in your heart that will honor Him.
God's promises (commands or decrees) are to a thousand generation. But what is the use of having all this treasure, buried, without a key to unlock it? Our faith is that key.
M. Lloyd Jones once wrote this: "Faith always has the element of assurance, certainty and confidence . . . and evidential value substantiating the thing we hope for . . . with faith, there is no strain or tension; rather, it has the element of assurance and confidence in it . . . if there is strain or tension . . . trying to persuade yourself to keep from doubting, you can be quite sure that it is not faith . . . faith is not the law of mathematical probability, . . . faith is not natural . . .faith is spiritual, the gift of God" (Romans - 4:18-25).
Queen Esther, in 483 BC, had to have faith that the same favor that put her in the Kingdom was capable of providing her access to destroy the decree of the king. As a result of her faithful prayer and fasting, God gave her favor and King Ahasuerus gave the Estate of Haman (enemy of the Jews) into the hands of Esther, who put Mordecai over His house (Esther 8.)
God's favor and faith is a gift (Eph 2:8,9). Any gift however, once received, becomes the "possession" of the recipient.
So God promised to the Israelites in Deuteronomy 8:7, "For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills;"
Friend, if you are in a bad place, I have news for you: God has a good land he is "bringing" you into. It is a place of authority and dominion that your wildest dreams cannot fathom. It is a niche, territory or industry with your name on it that he has called you to possess; it is the answer to all of your problems; because in it, there is not tension, strain or frustration; you reign as kings; you drink of vineyards that you have not planted; you live in houses you have not built.
Verse 9 said this: "[IT IS] A land in which you shall eat food without shortage and lack nothing in it; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper."
In other words, it is a land of hidden treasure in the ground. It is a land of proprietary secrets, trades, creativity, ideas, supernatural wealth that is yet to be discovered, not yet revealed or tapped into because the resource or land is waiting for possession by YOU its true owner.
Have you ever had a really good idea or invention and wondered why no one else has thought of it?
There are some ideas or inventions that God will give you that are 10 on the Richter scale (in other words, groundbreaking) and the reason the idea is so good; the reason why no one else has done it, is because it was simply waiting for you.
As long as the giants remained in Jericho, the copper wasn't coming out of the ground. The iron wasn't going to be discovered in the rocks.
Do you know where the first time copper was ever mentioned in the Bible?
In Deuteronomy 8. WHY? Because it was hidden for God's people to discover.
So, Paul wrote, "But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [ALL THAT] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the *divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man's scrutiny]. (1 Cor 2:9-10)
WHAT IS HIDDEN IN YOU?
Today, I release hidden, innovative & supernatural ideas and strategies for your eyes only; I pray that eyes of your heart be enlightened for only you to discover (or tap into) the bottomless things of God.
GET READY. This is not going to be a man made thing, but a supernatural thing. It's not going to be good idea, but a God idea.
Because the Spirit of God searches diligently, exploring, examining everything to reveal to you.
This is your season. Your time; because, "No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come" (Victor Hugo.)
