Good day ladies and gentlemen!
I'm blowing kisses and stretching my arms out to you in the name of Jesus.
I write with love and I truly hope you are having a good day so far.
As you may know, in my quest to know God and solidify my relationship I am on a historical journey through the old testament.
My word today comes from the 1st Book of Kings which tells the story of Solomon (Son OF THE FAMOUS DAVID) who was his fathers succesor as king of Judah and Israel. Solomon started as a mighty king who OBEYED God and built the famous Temple. Solomon was a kind leader full of wisdom and filled his fathers shoes perfect by completing the works David couldnt. As a result of this, the whole land was blessed with peace and Solomon never had to fight any wars nor did he have much opposition. He was blessed with an abundance of wealth as promised by God (even the Queen from Sheba) from distant lands there was an outpour of gifts until he turned away from God and started to worship other gods and marry foreign women (against the will of God). God took away the kingdom from him and gave it to one of his officials.
BUT because of his father David, the lord promised not to take it away during his lifetime but during the reign of his son. I will end here.
You see, be very careful what you do because your actions affect others. When you purposely rebel and are led by the flesh you affect the people around you and eventually your children. This takes me back to the book of numbers when the people of Israel kept on turning away from God and complaining against the lord he said
"I the Lord am not easily angered and I show great love and faithfulness and forgive sin and rebellion. Yet, I will not fail to punish children and grand children to the 3rd and 4th generation for the sins of their parents" (Numbers 14:18)
Please Please and Please, ask the lord to teach you how to be obedient and how to love. Beg him everyday for guidance so that you do not stray! DONT BE SO SELFISH and please your self with human desires that lead to death. Seek Wisdom, Knowledge and above all UNDERSTANDING and you will live long. Solomon saught wisdom and he was automatically blessed with wealth. God does not lie! Seek ye first the kingdom of God and ALL these things will be added unto you. Seeking the kingdom means to seek righteousness, holiness and everything pure and Godly (i.e abstaining from sexual immoralities, lies, stealing and crooked ways) You cannot get away from God he is watching. Choose the narrow road which leads to LIFE ETERNALLY!
Love ya'll and God bless..
