Hidden Until Revealed
SS 4:12 You are a garden locked up,
my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.
Many of you now reading this are like a locked up garden full of beauty that few can
view. You have felt held back, unsupported, rejected, and overlooked in your life. There is a good reason for
all that. God did not want you to be supported by anyone else but Him, so He chased most people away from you including your
own family to make sure that He alone would be able to develop you, and that your lack of support from the world
would one day drive you to His support. You may have felt like the ugly duckling all of your life, but God had to hide and
uglify you in order to one day transform you into a very beautiful spiritual swan.
1SA 17:28 When Eliab, David's oldest brother, heard him
speaking with the men, he burned with anger at him and asked, "Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those
few sheep in the desert? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to
watch the battle."
There are many people like David and Joseph that got treated with contempt by people
including their own family, but then there came a day of destiny where God would use them to demonstrate His power and glory
in the earth. God hid them and who they truly were spiritually from everyone else but a select few, and He waited until they
were fully ready to slay their giant, or feed a nation during a time of famine to reveal them to the masses. You too were
born for a divine purpose and set aside from the very beginning to do something great for God and man, and rest assured
your day of eternal destiny is fast approaching.
AC 13:22 After removing Saul, he made David
their king. He testified concerning him: `I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will
do everything I want him to do.'
There is a whole world of hidden chosen people waiting in the wings right now poised
to go and conquer the enemy and to set the captives free. You are one of those chosen people and no matter who has rejected
or dismissed you up to this point, soon it will be God's power that exalts and establishes you before the eyes and hearts
of those who could not previously see you. So no matter how you may have looked like a failure in the past, God will very
soon vindicate His divine will for your life by blessing and empowering you. God will finally take the veil away and
allow people to truly see you for who you really are in Him.
GE 45:4 Then Joseph said to his brothers,
"Come close to me." When they had done so, he said, "I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! 5 And
now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent
me ahead of you.
When God blesses you and exalts Himself and His will through your life be merciful
to those who have wrongly judged you in the past. Try to remember that God deliberately hid you from these people and He allowed
them to treat you with contempt until you were fully matured. God only allowed all of that because He knew that this world
would need to be helped through people that had His heart developed in them, so others could not interfere. But God is about
to open people's eyes as to who you really are in the kingdom, and just know that you were hidden until revealed
so that Jesus Christ could fully live through you.
1SA 2:7 The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.
8 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them
inherit a throne of honor.
