OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON 01/011/2015 IS: SUBJECT: THE WISDOM OF GOD THAT BUILDS US IN 2015 TOPIC: THE BLESSINGS IN ASKING FOR GODS WISDOM DATE: SUNDAY MESSAGE FOR JANUARY 11, 2015 READING SCRIPTURES: 2 CHRONICLES 1:1-17 THE BLESSINGS IN ASKING FOR GODS WISDOM: 1. The greatest weapon of every child of God is the power of the tongue, whatever you speak out comes to pass. Solomon the son of David used this weapon to conquer territories and walked in the wisdom of God to get whatever he desires. The first thing you must ask from God is his wisdom, because his wisdom will open all doors. See verses 1-5 2. Be informed that to continually come before God in wisdom and actively walk in his wisdom, you must come before his Altar from time to time to be with him alone to be empowered, equipped and guided on how to walk in his wisdom all the days of your life. Remember that it was at the Altar that Solomon presented himself to God to fellowship with him that he had an encounter with him that the Almighty asked him to ask anything he desired and he will give it to him, and it was so. Have you ever had an encounter in Gods Altar? Solomon had it in Gods presence with a sacrifice in his hands. See verses 6-10. 3. I want you to learn something from Solomon today, when he had the opportunity to as something from God, he did not focus on himself, rather his concern was how to better other peoples life and assist them to be who God has created them to be. He asked for Gods wisdom to lead his people, and because he asked wisely, God granted all things to him including wealth and riches. Learn to ask right whenever you have the opportunity before God and Man. See verses 11-12. 4. Have you wondered why people go to the Mountain to pray or to Church when nobody is there, or separate themselves to seek Gods face in prayer and fasting in their home? The reason is to get closer to God so as to get his wisdom. Solomon went to the Tabernacle of God regularly to receive the wisdom to rule his people and reign on the throne of his father David. See verses 13-14 5. Do you know why till date there has not been any that can be compared to Solomon in affluence, wealth, riches, wisdom or power? The true answer is because Solomon gave all to God and did make use of the wisdom of God given to him to continue from where his father the Man after Gods own heart stopped. The Love of God led him to the love of people of God and he served all men without discrimination but treated all as equal before God. See verses 15-17. 6. Finally it is important that you know today that Solomon conquered kingdoms, nations, thrones, ruled, subdued and walked in dominion because in all things he puts God first, even in seasons of challenges because of his shortcomings as a mortal man, but he still walked in the wisdom of God by repenting of his sins and crying out unto God for forgiveness and restorations. Learn Today from Solomon in which ever place you find yourself, give all to God and walk in his wisdom. 7. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to walk in Gods wisdom all the days of your life and to impart same to people around you in Jesus name Amen. Read below: 2 Chronicles 1:1-17 King James Version (KJV) 1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. 2 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. 3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. 4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 5 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it. 6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. 7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. 9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? 11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: 12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. 13 Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel. 14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance. 16 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price. 17 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
