Shalom! Something led to the visitation that Solomon had from God. He had learnt some things from his father, King David, which worked for him at this time in particular. Let's take a look at the things:
2 Chronicles 1: 6-7
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.
Solomon did what no other king of Israel had ever done and recieved a visitation of God that transformed his life.
The tabernacle which he built was according to will of God which was revealed to his father, King David, that his son, Solomon would build it. With utmost zeal and dedication he got it built. He also had some virtues working for him:
1. He had reverence for God.
2. He had learnt to give God full devotion.
3. He went beyond the conventional way to worship God. He offered a thousand burnt offering to God.
He had these virtues and did these wonderful things not expecting God to respond. He just did it, period! But he did caught God's attention, and He came to him, and gave him a blank cheque to fill whatever he so desired.
Going the extra-mile paid off for him. I think it's a wise thing for us to always have the heart to do more than God required of us. At the same time, we must only do whatever God has instructed us to do. Once we have clear cut instructions, we're to follow through with them.
A Holy Ghost Miracle Service is scheduled to hold at St. Annes Church, Molete, Ibadan, in collaboration with the J. O. Y. Fellowship on the 29th of this month by 5pm. If you can make it, be there.
Till next posting, God bless.
