1 Kings 4

Message Take Aways:

1. King Solomon wisely recognized the need to raise up other people to whom he could delegate purposeful work to support the furtherance of the kingdom—“the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.” Ephesians 4:16

2. Israel & Judah experienced prosperity under King Solomon as God fulfilled His promised word and provided for His people beyond their wildest expectations—“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

3. As Solomon relied upon the Lord he experienced prominence that set him apart from all other men reminding us of the blessing that comes from simply seeking God and abiding in Him—“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33
