THE UNDOING OF SOLOMON – 1 kings 11:1-2 – But king Solomon loved many strange women. Of the nations which the Lord said Ye shall not go in to them

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | May 21, 2020 | THE UNDOING OF SOLOMON [ He Loved many Strange women ] – 1 kings 11:1-2 – But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love

Beloved, God did something very very important at the outset of creation. He separated light from darkness. See it yourself.

Gen 1:3 — Gen 1:4 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

The scriptures says let no man put asunder what God joined together. In the same token, what God had put asunder, let no man join together.

The blessed Holy Spirit amplifies what the Lord did from the outset, by saying severally in the scriptures that believers and you in particular must not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.

THE UNDOING OF SOLOMON – 1 kings 11:1-2 – But king Solomon loved many strange women. Of the nations which the Lord said Ye shall not go in to them

This you see in both old and new testaments. See some of them.

Deu 7:1 — Deu 7:4. When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.

Isaiah 52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.

2Co 6:14 — 2Co 6:18 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

THE UNDOING OF SOLOMON – 1 kings 11:1-2 – But king Solomon loved many strange women. Of the nations which the Lord said Ye shall not go in to them

1Co 5:9 — 1Co 5:11 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

1Jo 2:15 — 1Jo 2:17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

THE UNDOING OF SOLOMON – 1 kings 11:1-2 – But king Solomon loved many strange women. Of the nations which the Lord said Ye shall not go in to them

Beloved, it was very unfortunate, that after God had blessed and prospered king Solomon exceedingly, he disregarded this very important word of God.

1Ki 11:1 — 1Ki 11:2 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

Neh 13:26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.

You must be very very careful not to fall into this shameful act, because of its fearsome and dreadful consequences here and hereafter. .

You must not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers in friendship, marriage, worship, business , indoor or outdoor games etc

THE UNDOING OF SOLOMON – 1 kings 11:1-2 – But king Solomon loved many strange women. Of the nations which the Lord said Ye shall not go in to them

See some of the consequences of doing so.

God destroyed the first world with flood, because of unequal yoke in marriage. See it yourself.

Gen 6:1 — Gen 6:2 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Sons of God were lineage of righteous Seth and daughters of men were the lineage of wicked, cruel and murderous Cain.

Gen 6:5 — Gen 6:7 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

THE UNDOING OF SOLOMON – 1 kings 11:1-2 – But king Solomon loved many strange women. Of the nations which the Lord said Ye shall not go in to them

In the same token, God destroyed the business fortunes of Jehoshaphat a righteous king, who joined affinity with wicked king Ahazaiah of Samaria.

2Ch 20:35 — 2Ch 20:37 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly: And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongeber. Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

To avert this kind of fearsome judgment of God here and hereafter. Please determinedly avoid the sin of unequal yoke.

May God help you in particular to be wise unto salvation in Jesus name.

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | May 19, 2020 | And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart that he excelled exceeding much and was wiser than all men – 1 Kings 4:29

And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about. – 1 Kings 4:29-31

Beloved do you have great desires?

You have not sin. There are two things that shall help you actualize your desires.

1. Let God of heaven alone be your lifetime delight.

Psalms 37:4. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

2. Ensure your lofty desires align with God’s infallible words in the Bible.

1 John 5:14 -15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

When these are always in place, God Himself shall help you hasten your actualization. This is because, He shall be glorified through it.

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | May 19, 2020 | And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart that he excelled exceeding much and was wiser than all men – 1 Kings 4:29

Psalms 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Beloved, you are going to discover from the scriptures, why your focus should be on God and God alone for your actualization. See these:

1. Only God can help you build and keep your life.

Psalms 127:1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

2. God alone gives power and wisdom for wealth.

Deuteronomy 8:18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | May 19, 2020 | And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart that he excelled exceeding much and was wiser than all men – 1 Kings 4:29

3. Only God’s blessings makes you rich without sorrow and stress.

Pro 10:22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,and he addeth no sorrow with it.

4. No one can receive anything, except given to Him, by God from heaven.

John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

5. Every good things come from heaven and are given by God.

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | May 19, 2020 | And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart that he excelled exceeding much and was wiser than all men – 1 Kings 4:29

6. God gives you good things without upbraiding you.

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

7. He provided for you according to His riches in glory.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

8. He daily loads His children with blessings. This shall be your portion in Jesus name.

Psalms 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | May 19, 2020 | And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart that he excelled exceeding much and was wiser than all men – 1 Kings 4:29

No wonder Solomon received wisdom from God and it gave him global recognition and respect.

1Ki 4:29 — 1Ki 4:31 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.

1 Kings 4:34 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.

Beloved, God can do what He did for Solomon again. He will surely do it for you in particular in Jesus name.

So begin to look to Him alone, knowing fully that no one looks to Him and was ever disappointed.

Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else

Psalms 34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | May 19, 2020 | And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart that he excelled exceeding much and was wiser than all men – 1 Kings 4:29

See to it that all your cares are casted upon Him and Him alone.

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

This becomes absolutely necessary because, doing otherwise would earn such a person a curse.

But then you shall be blessed here and hereafter. So trustfully reach out to Him, henceforth for all things, till Jesus comes.

Jer 17:5 — Jer 17:8 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Knowing JESUS | Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad – 1 Kings 3:9

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | May 18, 2020 | Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad – 1 Kings 3:9

In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee – 1 Kings 3:5.

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? – 1 Kings 3:9

Beloved, it is praiseworthy to know that you are a wise person. I pray for you that here and hereafter, the wisdom of God shall benefit you in particular immensely in Jesus name.

Pro 9:12. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself:but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad – 1 Kings 3:9

One thing that will help you sustain your lifestyle of being a wise person, is to addict yourself to doing the sayings of Christ, till He comes.

Mat 7:24 — Mat 7:27. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

One thing is most certain. If you in particular addict yourself to the sayings of Jesus, you shall surely end up as one of the wise virgins in the parable of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mat 25:6 — Mat 25:13. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad – 1 Kings 3:9

Beloved wise believers like you pursue just one thing. Just one goal.

Eternal things. See how the scriptures reveal classified one things you must pursue.

1. Dwelling in the house of God forever in yonder.

Psalms 27:4. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

Psalms 23:6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

2. Lifetime Fellowship with Christ

Luk 10:41 — Luk 10:42. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

3. Your eternal wellbeing.

Deuteronomy 32:29. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
Proverbs 19:20. Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad – 1 Kings 3:9

4. Readiness for the dawning rapture.

Col 3:1 — Col 3:4. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

5.. Avoiding the dreadful great tribulation.

Rev 3:10 — Rev 3:11 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

6. Giving priority to God in all things.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad – 1 Kings 3:9

7. Making a right choice before God at all times.

1 Kings 3:5. In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

1 Kings 3:9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad – 1 Kings 3:9

Beloved, if you are addicted to pursuing any or all of the above things. Then it becomes very easy to receive incredible and great things from God.

Just like King Solomon got much more from God, you also shall experience same as you pursue eternal things first.

1 Kings 3:12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

1 Kings 3:13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days

Always remember to addict yourself to doing all things from the perspective of eternity and giving priority to eternal things in your pursuit for self actualization .

Be addicted like these saints.

1Co 16:15. I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad – 1 Kings 3:9
