God also endowed Solomon with great descriptive powers so that he could describe plant life, including plants and trees which were not even native to Israel. He had great descriptive powers coupled with vast knowledge which kept his very attentive audience spell bound; willing to come back again and again to hear him speak. Additionally, this same audience spread the word about Solomon’s great wisdom, vast knowledge base and understanding like wildfire. Any wonder his fame spread.
King Solomon topped these up with the divine ability to
teach – transfer knowledge and wisdom resources to other people. Please read
Ecclesiastes Chapter 12 verses 9 to 13. He was a great communicator. Solomon
was indeed endowed with the tongue of the learned – Isaiah Chapter 50 verses 4
to 5; an instructed tongue, clearly instructed by God to speak peace, life,
comfort, healing, deliverance, knowledge to take away ignorance from the lives
of people held captive by ignorance (Isaiah Chapter 9 verse 2), understanding
to people whose lack of understanding made life difficult to understand; and
wisdom to the foolish so they could become wise, truly functional and
successful.
King Solomon also knew how to take advantage of divine opportunities and platform. The people who came from all nations to hear his wisdom alongside his own people whom he ruled were great assets. So he invested his wisdom in them; and also partnered with them to do business. Hiram, his most trusted and respected ally was one of his greatest business partners. Together, they ruled the sea with their trading fleet of ships alongside their seasoned sailors who knew and understood the sea and sea routes as well as where to find gold, silver, choice spices and other great articles of trade. This way, King Solomon made money every second, minute, hour, day, week, month and year. Are you still surprised that he was the richest man of his days!
Solomon was very wise. He monopolized the trade in horses
and chariots within his region – he got his supplies from Egypt and exported to
all their neighbors. Please read 1st Kings Chapter 10 verses 14 to
29. Beloved, this was great business considering that one of the major means of
transportation and warfare then was chariots and horses. To own and hold a
monopoly of what about everyone required for movement on a daily basis was a great
way of earning income at all times. Besides, horses could develop health
challenges so that the owner would require a new one.
Quite significant and instructive is the fact that the
wealth came to seek Solomon as he daily invested in a loving fervent relationship
with God by daily seeking the face of God and walking in the ways of God. The
people who came to see him, who brought diverse gifts; monetary and material
all came to Jerusalem to meet with Solomon. Beloved, wealth transferred from
the peoples and nations of the world to King Solomon and Israel because God
ordained it to be so. Seek first the kingdom of God and all other things
including the wealth and success you are desperate for; shall be added to you
without any struggles; without you even seeking them for in seeking the kingdom
of God, you will bless humanity your divine gifts and as you do so, God
commands humanity to bless you be transferring wealth to you.
