Not long ago, we learned that access to one divine secret can be a game changer. All the lifting that Daniel enjoyed in Babylon came through access to divine secrets. It began with Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. Ability to recall the king’s dream and giving the interpretation of it brought him into honour and prominence. Moving on from there, he read the handwriting which none of the magicians could read. That also brought him additional honour. The good news is that access to divine secrets is not restricted for Daniel’s era alone. What we need to ask is what must we do to enjoy this privilege. Our text is the first pointer. We are required to call on the Lord for things we do not know. Prayer is a pre-condition for gaining access into the hidden things of God.

Prayer is a pre-condition for gaining access into the hidden things of God…God gives His secrets to those who walk in His fear.

Other condition can be found in this verse of scripture: “The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant.” Psalms‬ 25‬:14‬ NKJV‬‬. Asking in prayer alone will not do the job. Prayer from defiled lip and heart will not get us anywhere with God. Saul once asked God for a secret concerning the battle that besieged him. God said nothing. “And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.” (1Samuel 28:6). At this point in Saul’s life, he had lost touch with the fear of God. God gives His secrets to those who walk in His fear. Finally, continuous dependence on the Holy Spirit will make us beneficiaries of divine secrets. Part of His ministries is to show us things to come.
