Mysteries are things that are very difficult to understand and the kingdom of God has many of such. These things are mysteries because they need more than common sense to know and believe. Those who are outside the kingdom only see these mysteries as fairy tales and mind games because they are not in the household of God.
Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
It is just like traveling to a new country, the language may sound like a newly created tongue to you but the citizens have been speaking that language for several years.
The things we read in the scriptures are the same things the people in the days of the bible read. Nothing has changed. Ignorance will only make you miss out on what is freely available to all.
The mysteries of the kingdom helps us walk in the fullness of the nature of God on the earth. The promises of God are always wrapped in mysteries. Those who can uncover the mysteries automatically walk in the promises.
2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
There are seven major things you need to understand and apply for you to benefit from the mysteries of the kingdom. The mysteries of God always operation within these seven principles and those who believe and act accordingly will have a free flow of the mysteries of God in their lives on a daily basis.
Let's now delve into these seven stages of the mysteries of God so that we can know how to maximize them in our lives.
The seven stages of the mysteries of God:
A. Acknowledgement of the mysteries - The first thing you need to do to walk in the manifestation of the mysteries of the kingdom is to acknowledge their existence. To acknowledge means to recognize that they exist. Many people do not acknowledge the existence of mysteries and that is why they walk all through their Christian lives in darknesses.
Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
You need to acknowledge that the kingdom has mysteries. Even when you don't even know exactly what those mysteries are, simply acknowledging that they exist will lead you towards finding out what those mysteries are.
Proverbs 18:1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
There are many who think everything in the kingdom is straight forward and so once they encounter something beyond the usual, they become confounded. Carnal men only love simplicity and they delight in mocking mysteries not knowing that by doing that they exhibit folly. Don't be a believer who follows ignorance at the expense of getting to know God more deeply.
Proverbs 1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
B. There are stewards of mysteries - This is one stage many are yet to grasp and walk in fully. You can acknowledge the fact that there are mysteries but if you do not also understand that mysteries are given to stewards to reveal to the body of Christ, you will remain in your ignorance for life.
1 Corinthians 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
There no mystery still remaining in heaven. Every mystery pertaining to the kingdom have been given to men and women to distribute. The moment you accept the fact that mysteries have stewards, you will begin to look for these stewards so as to walk in the desired mysteries.
Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Many are too proud to receive the understanding of mysteries because they expect God to reveal it to them directly but God will also not do that in most cases. He has designated stewards here on earth who have been equipped to teach men how to operate and manifest such mysteries.
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Even for Christ to redeem us from the curse of the law and bring into the realms of blessings, He did not introduce a new blessing but connected us to the blessings of Abraham. Why? Because Abraham was a steward of that particular mystery. That mystery you want to operate in, always has someone who is a steward of it.
Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Every message we preach or has ever been preach is not any new message. We simply take the message of other stewards and paraphrase them in different words. If you preach from Isaiah or Romans, you are not actually reveal anything new because what you are saying is actually from the author of that passage in the bible. The things you think are a revelation today was what that character in scripture found out several years ago.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
This is why for you to operate in mysteries, you must accept the fact that there are stewards to those mysteries. Stop trying to invent new mysteries because there is none available. Simply follow those who have received those mysteries and flow along.
Proverbs 22:28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
C. Know the riches of the mysteries -
All mysteries have riches embedded in them. In other words, there are benefits you derive from applying mysteries in your life. Thinking mysteries have nothing to offer is robbing yourself of so much blessings.
Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
The mysteries of the kingdom are so rich and more beneficial than you can imagine. The reason why God did not make them plain but has hidden them in mysteries is because of it's richness. For you to find gold or diamond, you need to dig into the deepest parts of the earth to have access to them.
God's mysteries are full of goodly heritage so much that they need to be hidden in such manner.
Once you identify the benefits, you will know the reason why they are needed. Anything that has no benefit is unattractive but things that have multiple benefits are the most sort for.
The mysteries of the kingdom will make you successful in all spheres of life: spiritually, financially, socially, and any other thing. Works according to the revelation of the mystery - mysteries work according to the revelation you have about them. If you have little revelation about them you can benefit only little from it and if you have more revelation about them you equally benefit likewise.
Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Many people wonder why they have knowledge of a mystery and yet still they do not see the same results flowing in their lives as those they learn from. It is simply because the levels of revelation concerning the mysteries vary. How two Christians understand a particular scripture will determine how they apply it to their lives.
If you only think the word of God is a book like any other book, you will get what any other book can give but when you see the word of God as a precious book incomparable to none, you will equally get incomparable benefits from it.
So no mystery is actually powerful in certain people's lives than other. It simply manifest in that way because of their revelation of the mystery.
Cain and Abel both gave offerings unto God but one's own was accepted and the other was not. Why? Because one did it by revelation and the other didn't.
It is not just about saying "In Jesus Name", what revelation do you have about that name. That is what will determine the results you get.
E. Fellowship of the mystery - As a believer, you must learn to fellowship with mysteries. Many know about mysteries, and desire them but do not fellowship with them. It is the fellowshipping of the mysteries that produces results. To fellowship in this instance means to practice or engage the mysteries.
Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Chrisy
Mysteries are not meant intellectual accumulation. Some want to simply know about God's mysteries but will never apply them a day in their lives. As a believer you must let all men see the fellowship of the mysteries you have received.
If God has revealed something to you, don't sit on the revelation and think it will produce results on it's own. You must apply it daily for it to have full effect.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego received a mystery from God and they did not for own pretend as though they had no received anything. They were so bold to declare their revelation from God so much that the king was surprised. And because of their bold stand to believe and show forth the mystery, the Son of God appeared in the fire where they were cast.
Daniel 3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. 3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
You need to fellowship with the mysteries. Whether you are on your own, or with your spouse, or in a car, or at school, or at your workplace. Wherever you find yourself, let every know that you believe in such mysteries. Don't be shy of the mysteries of God.
You see some people, they cannot even read their bibles during break at work because they are shy of the mystery they have.
You must fellowship with the mystery without fear or doubt. You must adapt the habit of express what you believe at any given place with feeling shy because those people you are shy of do not feel shy when they express what they believe in. Don't be ashamed of the mysteries of the kingdom.
1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
F. Speak the mystery -
Speak the mystery and speak about the mystery. For you to walk in the fullness of the mysteries of the kingdom you must speak it out. It's not enough to believe it in your heart but you must speak it out in faith also.
Colossians 4:3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
Many believers believe many things but speak very little of those things and as a result see very little of the blessings of God. If you believe that God gives total health, don't just keep it in your mind, speak it out, confess it daily that you cannot be sick. All creation were made a way that they only obey commands and not negotiations or suggestions. If you do not command things, you will never see them manifest.
Job 38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
Don't be a gentle Christians and end up in unimaginable struggles, speak out and command situation through the various mysteries you have received from the Lord. Until you open your mouth wide, God cannot fill it. People may say you are boasting in yourself but you know you are simply boasting in the Lord. Speak and tell yourself and everyone "I am blessed and I cannot be broke". Not that you go everywhere looking sad and confused.
Psalms 81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
In the kingdom you speak what you want. You do not just desire alone. You are closing the doors of destiny when your mouth is closed and likewise you open the doors of destiny when you mouth is opened.
Don't say "I am ignorant or I am ugly" No! Speak what you want to see. Say "I am the mist beautiful creation of God" " I am more intelligent that 200people put together". This is how we speak in the kingdom.
G-Every mystery has an end - A day will come when all mysteries will end. When you no one can use them again. This is why you must use them whiles they are available.
Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
The mysteries of the kingdom cannot be used in heaven. The moment you die or are raptured that will be the end of your access to those mysteries. It is only on earth that they are needed. You don't need to bind demons in heaven because there is no there, you don't need to use anointing oil in heaven. The mysteries of God are given to men to take charge over the earth and rule as priests and kings in this world. Don't leave the earth without maximizing these free gifts of the Father.
You can leave a blessed life both on earth and in heaven but that is only available to those who decide to engage the mysteries of the kingdom.
It is my prayer that as we continue with the specific mysteries of the kingdom, you heart will be receptive and your mind will be alert to grasp and apply them for maximum blessing here on earth.
