Top Secrets You Must Know
by Olawale Ogunsola In life, there are so many mysteries and secrets yet unknown to mankind. There are questions to ask that man thinks he already had answers for; sad enough, his answers are full of "maybes" and "perhaps" because he is also unsure. Sometimes to cover up, they add, "all things being equal" when he knows all things cannot be equal for long . Please, don't blame man. He is flesh and dust. He does not know all. In the past, King Nebuchadnezzar (KN) had a dream of what God was to do later but he forgot when he woke up. He had a troubled spirit when no one could tell him his dream and interpretations. Daniel told him, "The secret which the King demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians and the soothsayers cannot declare to the King. But there is a God in heaven who reaveals secrets, and he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the later days." Dan 2:27-28. This is true today, no one can change it. Apostle Paul in the New Testament also corroborates this, " the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to the saints." Col 1:26. Do you know that you cannot profit from what remains hidden to you? Then Prophet Moses in his days was right to disclose that "The secret things belongs to God our Lord, but those things which are revealed belongs to us and our children forever." Deut 29:29. Therefore, there are FOUR SECRETS you must know to be faithful and successful in life for the glory of God. Secret number one: How to walk with God. If you want to fulfil your God-given vision on earth, you must know the secret of how to walk with God. You just cannot afford to join those who are "given over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting." Romans 1:32. God must not be a stranger to you. He must not be far from you. You must know his ways. How and why He does things. Thank God for the Holy Bible. Let Him instruct you in His word- the Scriptures. Be attentive and obedient also to the leading of the Holy Spirit. He will surely expose fully the secret of how you should walk with him to you- if you are already saved by the Lord Jesus Christ. Secret number two: The secret of your victory. "Life is war" Have you heard this before? In every war, there are many battles to fight. A battle may demand different strategies and logic. Do you know these for you life? David was a good man of war. He understood how good it is to know the secret of victory. He declares, "Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight." Your must also know the secret of your victory. Secret number three : The secret of your success. The hope of everyone with a sound mind is to live a successful life. Are you one of them? Have you discovered the secret of your success? Please do! There was a story of a Medical Doctor who amounted to nothing until he discovered the secret of his success as a writer. He wrote many novels as a popular author. Joseph may have died in his father's house a failure if he did not know the secret of his success: dreams and their interpretations. Secret number four : The secret of the purpose of your Birth. Have you known the purpose of your coming into the world? You must do. Joseph summarised his own thus, "to save many people alive" Gen 50:20. In actual fact, he was able to save himself , members of his own household, and those of his fathers household , king Pharaoh and his people, Egyptians , and people from other parts of the world who came to Egypt, where he was the Prime Minister, to buy food. One thing about these secrets is that the earlier you know them, the better. This will give you a total focus in life. Joseph discovered the secret of his birth in his teens and declared it. He was sure it will come to pass and it did. For the young , it is never too early. God reveal the purpose of Jeremiah's birth to him, "Before I formed you in the womb,I knew you; Before you were born, I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations." Jer 1.5 Jeremaiah's complaints about his enormous task was, "Ah , Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak for I am a youth." verse 6. For the old it is not yet late. You can still discover your purpose of coming into this world and fulfil it in full. Stay blessed and rapturable. The Lord is coming soon. Nite. Scriptures quoted are from New Living Translation.
