PROVERBS 10:20-23
Today, we
shall examine degrees of breakthroughs. Solomon also had an extra-ordinary
breakthrough. He prayed: “Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may
go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of
Yours?” (2 Chronicles 1:10). God answered his prayers beyond his
wildest imagination –He magnified him exceedingly. If God could do it for
Solomon, He can do it for you because He is the same yesterday, today and
forever more. Solomon became extremely rich, according to 2 Chronicles 9:20-27
“All
King’s Solomon drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House
of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. Not one was of silver, for this was
accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon. For the king’s ships went to
Tarshish with the servants of Huram. Once every three years the merchant ships
came, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and monkeys. So King Solomon
surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. And all the kings of
the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God has put
in his heart. Each man brought his present: articles of silver and gold,
garments, armor, spices, horses, and mules, at a set rate year by year. Solomon
had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen
whom he stationed in the chariots cities and with the king at Jerusalem. So he
reigned over all the kings from the River to the lands of the Philistines, as
far as the border of Egypt. The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as
stones, and he made cedar trees as abundant as the sycamores which are in the
lowland. ” I wonder how a company of chartered accountants would have
valued the assets of King Solomon. No doubt, they were worth billions of
dollars. Paul also had an exceedingly great breakthrough. He was supposed to be
“chairman” in hell because he persecuted Christians and did everything he could
to destroy the church of God but he ended up becoming the greatest of all the
Apostles. He had victory all the way. As you yield to the Lord, receiving His
every instruction, you too will have the breakthrough of a life time.
MEMORIZE:
JOHN 3:27 –John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it has been
given to him from heaven.
