Rhapsody of Realities 17 June 2024: Understanding the Word
Scripture: And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given (Matthew 13:10-11).
There’re those who grumble about their inability to understand the Scriptures/ Often, they’d complain. “These words are too difficult to understand; no matter how I study the Bible, I just don’t seem to have a grasp of it.” No; never talk that way. It’s your divinely given right and ability to understand the Scriptures. Read the words of the Lord Jesus in Matthew 13:11; He said, “…it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.”
One of Satan’s tactics is to deceive God’s children just as he attempted with Jesus, questioning His identity. The Bible tells us, “And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread” (Matthew 4:3). Same way, he’ll attempt to put doubts in your heart. Don’t yield to the Devil’s deception that you lack understanding. The power lies in accepting and declaring God’s truth.

Accept, endorse and confess it. Align your words with God’s Word. Declare, “I understand,” and your understanding will be illuminated. The Bible recounts in John 20:22 how Jesus breathed on His disciples and said, “…Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” When He did, their minds were opened to understand the Scriptures.
It’s a similar miracle that occurred when you received the Holy Spirit. It’s the Spirit who enlightens your heart and enables you to receive and understand His truths. Always boldly affirm that you have the understanding of the righteous; you possess soundness of mind; you’re alert and imbued with keen insight.
You have the mind of Christ, which is an excellent mind (1 Corinthians 2:16). You’re super-intelligent and your mind is anointed to understand the Scriptures; you have quickness of understanding. Have this mindset as you diligently study and meditate on the Word.
CONFESSION: I have the divine ability to comprehend mysteries. The wisdom of God is at work in me to produce excellent results in everything I set my heart to do! Life is not a mystery to me, because as I meditate on the Word, the Holy Spirit unveils spiritual realities to me, enlightening my heart to walk in paths ordained for His glory. Hallelujah!
