Secrets are now the current norm, and many never bother asking if they are good. Is it right for us to keep secrets? Should secrets be held amongst God’s children? Is it a sin to keep secrets? What exactly is the meaning of a secret?
The definition
During the early stage of pregnancy, when no one knows the gender, weight, and complexion of the child in the womb, the child can be considered a secret child because no information about the child is known. Likewise, when parents do not know their children’s future occupation, the first car their child will buy, or the person their child will marry, this information can also be considered secret.
Secrets, therefore, are things unknown. In other words, anything hidden from the knowledge of another person is a secret.
Types of secrets
There are four main classes of secrets.
1. Worthless secrets
Worthless secrets are those that do not attract anything good. Once revealed, they put the receiver in a much worse situation (or in the same position) than they were in when they did not know the secret.
2. Valuable secrets
Valuable secrets are worth only a minimal amount. An alternative name for these secrets is “the secrets of the masses” because lots of people can afford to pay their prices. People who own valuable secrets tend to be happy and optimistic because they know they possess something of value.
3. Priceless secrets
Priceless secrets are worth massive amounts and are accessible to only a select few. However, these few can’t afford their full wage, so they pay them by installments. Top executives often seek out individuals with priceless secrets because they promise excellent results, but cannot guarantee eternal success.
4. The ultimate secret
The ultimate secret is unaffordable to anyone. This secret guarantees excellence, prosperity, and everlasting riches.
People who have “The Ultimate Secret” do not need to worry about excellence because perpetual excellence is certain for them. They need not worry about prosperity because they are sure to continually prosper. They never need to doubt being everlastingly rich because nothing can stop them from being eternally rich.
The reason all remarkable things are guaranteed for these people who own “the ultimate secret” is that they have “the ultimate secret.” But what is this ultimate secret? Let’s find out.
What is the ultimate secret?
There is a real-life story of a period long before World War 2. During this period, the world was in significant difficulties.
There were no jobs, and many people were in dire need of daily necessities. Many sick people were on the streets, in the hospitals, in homes, and in schools. Additionally, there were frequent instances of fighting and disagreements.
In short, most people were worried and hopeless: only a few could think of a better tomorrow.
Amidst these entire calamities, a man went to meet the government officials, the sick people, the hopeless, the rich, and the priests. He went around telling the world that he had the secret that would bring the world out of its difficulties. That is, he has the secret to profitable employment for all, the secret to healing for every sick person, the secret to making everyone wealthy.
So, the man told the world he had the secret that would make the universe a better place for every single person.
Not surprisingly, as the man told the world he had the secret that would solve everyone’s problems, presidents, governors, beggars, evangelists, bishops, the sick, the hopeless, dying people, and soldiers all asked the man the same question: “What is the secret?”
Well, as you may have guessed, the man with “The Ultimate Secret” will not just reveal it unless you meet his conditions.
So, the man replied, saying, “I will reveal my secret to you only if you make me your Highest Ranked President, Highest Ranked Pastor, Highest Ranked Shepherd, your Highest Ranked Commander-in-Chief of the Army staff.
He continued, saying, “I will reveal my secret of perfection to you if you make me your Highest-Ranked Teacher, your Highest-Ranked Doctor, your Highest-Ranked Counselor, your Highest-Ranked King, and your Highest-Ranked God Most High.”
When the world heard all these conditions, they were all confused, paralyzed, and angry. They were like “how is it that amid terrible difficulties, this man comes forward saying he has the secret that will solve all our problems, yet he does not want to reveal the secret to us unless we make him our controller and worst of all, make him our Highest Ranked God Most High!”
So, they asked the man this same question, “Why would you not help us unless we make you the controller of our lives and our Highest Ranked God Most High?”
The man answered them, saying:
“Well, that question is straightforward to answer. The reason is that I am The Ultimate Secret, the solution to all your problems, the Highest Ranked God Most High: I am Jesus Christ, the only way to everlasting life, success, and riches.
I am Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God Most High. No one comes to the Father except through me. No one sees the Father except you trust me. No one can enter heaven except by living in me. No one lives in me except you accept me as the highest controller of your whole life.
I am Jesus, the only solution to all problems: I am that I am.”
Do you have the ultimate secret?
Friends, Jesus is “The Ultimate Secret” anyone can ever have.
In Mark 10:46-52, blind Bartimaeus was begging on the highway when he heard Jesus was passing by. He understood that the only one who could heal him was passing by. Therefore, he immediately started to call aloud: “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Son of David, Jesus, my savior, Jesus, the only one that can save me. Doctors have passed here, but they could not help me. Pastors transitioned here, but they could not heal me. Wealthy people have journeyed: presidents, physicians, wizards, pagans, witches, the devil, counsellors, evangelists, the best prophets, all have passed here, but none have the power to save me. But Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, the savior, the most powerful, the Highest God Most High. Jesus, the ultimate secret, save me, save me; please save me!”
Jesus graciously called Bartimaeus and saved him.
The same happened to the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8:43-48: only believing Jesus and making him her highest-ranked God Most High saved her from her sickness.
Friends, Jesus is still available. Make Him your Highest-Ranked King, your Highest-Ranked Doctor, your Highest-Ranked Shepherd, your Highest-Ranked Master, your Highest-Ranked Teacher, your Highest-Ranked Ruler, your Highest-Ranked God Most High. In doing so, you will undoubtedly begin to live in everlasting glory.
