Revelation 2:17a "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it."
God has given each one of us the promise that He will always reveal Himself and His word to those who seek Him and walk in His ways.

Those who turn away from the word of God cannot overcome and cannot gain understanding. All of the mysteries of God are revealed to those who search His word expectantly. So what does it mean to overcome?

The one who overcomes is the one who puts to death the lusts and sinful passions of the flesh as they seek the Lord through His word and spend time with God in prayer.
The hidden manna is the spiritual things revealed to us in the word of God. Manna is the bread from heaven that the children of Israel ate while wandering through the desert as they journeyed to the Promise Land. This manna is the foreshadow of Christ who is the true bread that came from heaven (John 6:32-35). Jesus Christ is also the word of God made flesh (John 1:1). The hidden manna is the bread from heaven reveale ...
