1 Kings 9

Message Take Aways:

1. The Lord’s second appearance to King Solomon reminds us of His willingness to bless His people if they commit to walking in His ways with integrity—Psalm 112:1 “Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in His commandments.”

2. The acquisition that King Solomon orchestrated with King Hiram should challenge us to redeem whatever gifts or talents we possess for the furtherance of God’s kingdom—“So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.” Luke 16:8

3. The achievements of Solomon during his reign were accomplished through wise delegation and strategic organization reminding us to be good stewards in whatever the Lord entrusts to us—“Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things” Matthew 25:21
