Grace & peace to you from God the Father & the LORD Jesus Christ!
Matthew 11:25
At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, LORD of heaven & earth, bcoz you have hidden these things from the wise & learned, & revealed them to little children.

- Most of us read the holy bible yet not all of us get the message from the LORD the way it is sent. When we read the bible, we ought to ask God for the wisdom to hear Him talk & also for the spirit of discernment.
Many a time, I see some motorists with bibles put on the back seat opened by the windscreen. One wonders, does that person think that an open bible can bring protection to them?. The bible if not taken to heart & acted, then it remains just like any other book.
We make the word of God active or alive when we take it to heart & let it detect the way we ought to walk this life. "revealed them to little children," the LORD Jesus Christ meant, "revealed to the childlike. Remember the word of God says,
"Truly I tell you, unless you change & become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven, Matthew 18:3. Little children in the said verse, means childlike. The childlike are those who find it a necessity to forgive, to love unconditionally,
to be selfless & are humble in their ways. Such are those to whom the LORD reveals His kingdom secrets. A heart pregnant with sin or contemplating to sin, unforgiveness, envy, pride, hatred, etc, is not ideal for receiving messages from God.
The Holy Spirit may not operate where it is unwelcome. Humility attracts the Holy Spirit while wickedness repels the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit only dwells where the ways of God are the roadmap to one's life.
God clearly proves that it is not by might, wisdom or intelligence that one is exalted. It is by grace through faith in the finished works of our LORD & Saviour, Jesus Christ, that one is elevated.
Mark 9:37
The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the LORD of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.
- "the workers are few," the LORD Jesus Christ referred pastors or servants of God as "workers" hereabove.

Logically & physically, we see more than enough pastors today. But spiritually the very pastors are fewer than they ought to be. The LORD meant, "dedicated, selfless, humble servants, etc, are few.
He equally meant that most of those servants or pastors we see today, are not pastors in heart. Many desire to be servants of God yet with ulterior motives. Such make the workers fewer. For their motive is to fulfill their fleshly desires & not to do God's will.
If we truly love God, we ought "feed His people with His word," John 21:17. Those who humble themselves before God are exalted. To the humble, God shows Himself faithful. To the wicked, He proves Himself schrewd, Psalm 18:26.
If one's intention is to save God's lost sheep, He delights in revealing Himself to such. If God's grace is intended for the advancement of His kingdom, then He is at liberty to reveal His kingdom secrets to such servants. The LORD cannot be fooled by anymore.
For He searches the heart. Nothing can be hidden from God. For before we talk or act, He is aware.
Our character ought to prompt the LORD to say, "I find this servant one after my own heart," Acts 13:22. LORD, we believe, therefore we speak!. Just believe!. God loves you!. Stay blessed!.
