The Alpha of the HIdden Manna

UV 3088/10000 The Alpha of Manna
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Revelation 2 v 17
If we are attentive and responsive to the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, He will give us the hidden manna that will not spoil, that we can store in our hearts and minds forever. The hidden manna is the spiritual food or the daily inspiration we need from the Word of God in order to overcome this world, to resist its temptations, to be strong in the Lord and victorious till the very end. When we eat the hidden manna consistently, the Lord will give us a new name or identity. We will fulfil the purpose of our lives. We become thereby, yet another cornerstone in His living house.

The hidden manna will be sweet in our mouths and bitter as medicine in our stomachs. It will nourish our inner being with the love, power and hope of the Lord. We should cherish and relish it more than our necessary food. The hidden manna is the inner meaning of scripture that the Holy Spirit will enable us to extract like gold nuggets from a gold mine. As we partake daily of the hidden manna, the joy of the Lord will be our strength, our cause for rejoicing, the secret of our overcoming the challenges, the temptations, the trials, the suffering we face in this world.

Weakness is a part of human nature. The strength to overcome comes from the Lord and His word. The hidden truths and secrets that the word contains is capable of enabling us to be victors in life’s great struggles. We need to hide or store the treasures of wisdom we gain from the word in our hearts and minds and use or teach it aptly as the circumstances arise. It will help us overcome the hidden lusts and pride of our own hearts and prepare us for the Lord and His work.
