Bible Reading :1 Kings 9:2-4. Key Verse: v4.

That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon. And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:

Solomon was a man that knew how to touch the heart of God by doing special things for him. He came to limelight through his uncommon sacrifice of one thousand burnt offerings which was unprecedented. “And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar. In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.” 1 Kings 3:4-6. The encounter following this singular act changed his entire life.

Now as he just finished building the temple of God in Jerusalem, the Lord came back to him a second time now to establish his throne and the works of his hands. Here God in his usual manner gave him conditions that if he meets, the blessings and promises of God upon the life of his father David will be able to manifest in fulness in his life and he will become whom God wanted him to be. In this second encounter, God assured him of having heard the heartfelt prayers he made at the dedication of the temple. Solomon desired in his prayers that the temple he built won’t just be an ordinary house, but a place of divine encounter where prayers made receves speady attention of God and and answers.. God appreciated his love and ability to give sacrificially, but was giving him a key that will sustain him in God’s presence and make him a force to reckon with all the days of his life and beyond. .

Now, what God told king Solomon then, he is telling us also today. His desire today is that we make our bodies, the place of his habitation. God wants to live in us and function through us. Not only that, he desires that we cultivate a daily walk or sound relationship with him who is our father and source. His desire is that we live in his presence continously. He wants us to follow the footsteps of men of old who walked with him and served him faithfully, so that the covenant blessing he gave them will be visible in our personal lives. As we obey his commands, the resultant effect will be our establishment in total victory. “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.” Deuteronomy 28:1-2.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for teaching me the way to succeed with you. From today, I dedicate my body to you to live in and operate from. Help me to serve you faithfully. Thank you because you will establish me in total victory, as I obey your voice in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
