Memory Verse :1 Kings 9:5. Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel forever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
Bible Reading :1 Kings 9:1-3. Key Verse:v3.
And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do, 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 from built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
After king Solomon made an unprecedented sacrifice to God on ascending the throne, God visited him the first time and gave him uncommon wisdom to rule the people in the fear of God and unprecedented fame, riches and wealth. When he finished building the temple of God as conceived by David his father and directed by God, the Lord was moved to visit him a second time. God came this second time to strengthen his relationship with the king. “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: Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.” 1 Kings 9:4-5.
God made king Solomon understand also that his success and that of generations that will come after him will depend largely on their ability to keep following the ways of the Lord. The Lord made him know that if the leadership of Israel should deviate from the ways of the Lord to serve idols, he will be an enemy to Israeli till they were destroyed. “But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them: Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:” 1 Kings 9:6-7.
One of the reasons many great nations are not doing well today is because of the type of leadership they have. We have raised leaders that dine with satan in our families, localities and nations. King Solomon had a relationship with God Almighty as to pray to him directly, he didn’t hire anyone to help him talk to God. God was dealing with him one on one here and not through a third party. Today we need to pray for our leaders, starting from the family level to nations. We will ask the Lord to raise Godly or God fearing leaders starting from our families to the national level. Men that will be in the lead to serve God and not men that will be raising altars of darkness that will turn great families and nations to groping people because of the anger of God ravaging the people when spiritual darkness covers the land. “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:34.
Prayer :Father God I thank you because you are faithful to them who love and serve you. Today I pray that you begin to raise from among us Godly leaders, men that will follow your ways, starting from our families to our national level. Raise men that will fear you and lead us to serve you, so that we may command your favour and abound in your blessing in Jesus precious name… Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 25:1-27.
