YOUTHFUL SOLOMON CHOSE WISDOM

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: YOUTHFUL SOLOMON CHOSE WISDOM

TEXT: 1 King 3:3-15 

THURSDAY APRIL 6th 

Key verse: Matthew6: 33. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Many people do not know how and what to ask of the Lord any time they are before Him. Some ask the right things at the wrong time, while others ask the wrong things at the right time. Seek the Lord when He may be found. God gives speedy answers when the right procedure is followed and done with faith, belief, and righteousness. Some ask amiss or with wavering hearts that it is why they obtain nothing from the Lord. The Lord showed us what to do in Matthew 7:7. “Ask, and it shall be given to you: seek, and you find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you. The procedure of prayer was given to us by the Lord Jesus Christ when the disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray in Matthew 6: 5-13
Solomon touched the heart of God by giving a thousand burnt offerings and in return, God gave him an open cheque to fill whatever his heart desired. Solomon had the opportunity to ask God to deal with his enemies and that of his father David, but chose wisdom to enable him to rule over Israel and Judah. His choice of wisdom pleased the Lord and the Lord added that which he did not ask; “both riches and honor; so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days” (verses 12-13). “And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand of the sea shore. And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and the wisdom of Egypt.” (1 King 4:29-30).
Herodias’s daughter asked for the head of John the Baptist; Gehazi asked for a gift that was already covered by leprosy; the children of Eli were busy making sinful demands from worshippers; the people asked for Barabbas the thief instead of Jesus Christ; these were not acts of wisdom.

Thought for the day: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom

Song for the day: He’s everything; Jesus is everything to me (2x) …

Bible reading for the day: Judges 18-19; Luke 10:25-42

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
