Asking from God?

Greeting, Let's meditate on this word….

1 king 10:23–24 “King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth. The whole world sought audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart”.

1 king 3:5 “At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream and God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.”

Just imagine for minute almighty who holds everything in his hand. God is appearing to you and telling you to ask whatever you want. My question to you what will you ask? some of you will ask for money, house, and wealth… But Solomon did not ask for all this, he asked for a discerning heart… i.e wisdom… I have told you earlier that wealth and riches without wisdom are dangerous because it can destroy the receiver.

In the Old Testament when Solomon sought the wisdom of God… God gives him a discerning heart to know between right and wrong. The bible says “with that discerning heart”. (1 king 10:23–24) King Solomon was greater than all other kings of the earth. Just ponder over in your heart with a fraction of wisdom, Solomon becomes the wealthiest person on the earth.

But in the New Testament wisdom is not something, It is someone…

1 Corinthians 1:30 “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God”.

So now when we seek the Lord he will not give us a fraction of wisdom… but the very source of wisdom, Christ comes to reside in us. If Solomon with a fraction of wisdom was the wealthiest, how much more we with a source of wisdom i.e Christ reside within us… can become much richer and wealthier? That is why the Bible says Matthew 6:33 but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. For you are not seeking a thing or a formula but a person whose name is Jesus Christ who is the king of king and lord of lords… who holds everything in his hands so when you seek him out with the whole of your heart through the church… he gives you more than you ask or imagine and far beyond your wildest dream.

Ephesians 3:20 says “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to the power that is work within us”.

Confess with me……

“ Diamond, Gold, Silver, Riches, and Millions are mine and following me all the days of my life because the very source of wisdom Christ stays within me and Christ in my hope of glory”.

AMEN!!!
