1.Why secrets are still there?
Jesus in his Mount Sermon, also called as Beatitudes, said
A town built on a hill cannot be hidden - Matt 5:14 (NIV)
In another instance Jesus said
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. Luke 8:17 (NIV)
However there are many hidden secrets of the God’s Kingdom, that still are secrets for many people. Many who call themselves “God’s people” are ignorant of such secrets and hence are facing difficulties in their life they lead.
Why these people remain in ignorance and face difficulties?

Why these people remain in ignorance and face difficulties?
Only answer is “They don’t seek the LORD, LORD’s Kingdom and LORD’s righteousness”
In Matthew 6:33 Jesus says “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (NIV)
So First learn to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Ask Holy Spirit to teach you on this and lead you. When you seek the Kingdom and His righteousness, your life will be established and you will start growing in the Spirit.
Secrets are kept hidden in the Kingdom for many reasons. Let use see 2 of them.
1.Jesus uses Parables in his Ministry
Jesus used many Parables during his Ministry. On the first Parable he spoke, his disciples asked him why he was teaching through Parables and see what he replied
When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables.
He told them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, "'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!' Mark 4:10-12 (NIV)
Hence not everyone gets the hidden secrets revealed.

This is why Jesus says “seek and you shall find” (Matthew 7:8)
2.Will the person be able to understand the meaning of Secrets?
Jesus in fag end of his ministry, after the Passover supper he said
I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear (John 16:13)
So, an important factor for secrets not to be revealed is, are you capable of bearing the same?

Are we grown in our spiritual life to understand the secret. Realize that the Apostles have spent close to three and half years with Jesus but could not bear “much more” things
This spiritual growth is what Peter refers in his First Epistle.
Like newborn babies, crave for pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, I Peter 2:2 (NIV)
Hence first grow in the Spirit. Without the growth, if you ask the LORD to reveal the secrets, will you be able to bear? Ask this question to yourself, if you are grown enough to bear the revelation.
If you can, then LORD shall reveal a few secrets through this book. However please be sure you have the required growth to bear these secrets.
