And it happened that the Lord visited Solomon in a dream in 1 Kings 3 asking him what He should give him. This is a popular story, and we all know that Solomon asked for wisdom to be able to lead the children of Israel as King over them. Now, the Lord God was very pleased, and because if that, He didn't only give King Solomon wisdom, the Lord God made him the wisest man ever and gave him riches above every other person. The question now is to know if money just appeared in King Solomon's wardrobe, or how did he harness the riches God gave to him?
King Solomon became the richest man to ever live through his wisdom, and why was that? The words of Solomon were filled with so much value that wise men royalties from far away came to receive words of wisdom from King Solomon, and they saw his words couldn't be found anywhere, therefore making it of great value. And value was translated to great wealth for King Solomon. This same thing applies to anyone born of God. The question here is, what value are you dishing out?
Colossians 2:3 says, "In Him all the treasures of [divine] wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God) and [all the riches of spiritual] knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden." AMPC. The EASY translation says, "Christ is the one who holds everything that makes people wise . He helps people to know the true message that God had hidden." EASY. King Solomon's wisdom was embedded on the Christ Jesus who is the source of all divine wisdom, the divine wisdom anyone born of God receives. So, what value are you dishing out?
Everyone born of God have been blessed with all Spiritual blessings, (ref.: Ephesians 1:3). Everyone born of God has a purpose here on earth as ordained by God in the name of the Lord Jesus. It is expected that anything being done under the calling of the Lord is expected to carry great value when dished out. The reason is that the Sons and Daughters of God are led by the Spirit of God, and not by the theories of man, thereby making whenever is seen to be unique and of great value.
Now, as Sons and Daughters of God, whatever we are called to do is meant to be of value as I've established. By value it is meant to bring transformation to the lives of those we are meant to be the salt and light to. Matthew 5:16 says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
Our focus shouldn't be on ourselves, but on the lives we are sent to transform, and this was King Solomon's concern. He knew being a King would require a person who transform lives in the way of the Lord.
Our value is received from the Holy Spirit as we are being led. This comes after we connect the wisdom of God, who is the Jesus, the word of God, with our born again Spirit that is the same as that of Jesus. So, whatever we dish out is the mind of God, as long as we are led by the Spirit of Jesus, and it is expected to bring value and transformation to those we are sent to.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
