SOLOMON'S WISDOM IS A BRAND - Witness Series 007
Read I Kings 3:4-28
Luke 11:31, KJV
"... for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon..."
Have you heard the phrase, "wisdom of Solomon" before? Imagine somebody being described as having the possession of a commodity because he originates things that refers to him as initiator and owner.
I Kings 4:32-33, KJV
"32 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. 33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes".
Solomon had wisdom and his wisdom became a brand. Worldwide, the moment you mention wisdom, people's mind immediately shifts to Solomon and vice versa. Name someone that his name quickly hints wisdom like Solomon's. None of the men of his days could stood to the challenge. He excelled them all and established his own brand of wisdom as the valuable to listen to.
I Kings 4:30-31, KJV
"30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. 31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about".
How did it start since Solomon was not this wise from the beginning? When the Lord encountered him at Gibeon where he asked of God a discerning heart to judge his people, he was therefore given wisdom plus other things he didn't ask for. It is a day something will start. Do not despise the entry of spiritual graces into your life. They are your aid and leverage. That gift in your life may be a brand the world is awaiting to receive in the manner God has given you to give the world. It's easier thinking in abstract that Solomon was born with such great wisdom. Meanwhile, He was not. It was rather a donation somewhere around his adult life. This same wisdom divided between two prostitutes. That was the first riddle solved by Solomon's wisdom. It was here that all Israel knew God's wisdom was with him to do judgement [I Kings 3:28]. He began to be popular. You can't say you have a thing without putting its existence in your life to test and confirm its presence. We knew Solomon had wisdom because it was tested and found real. He started by using his wisdom to serve his kingdom until he became an international presence. Do you desire a greater platform? Serve diligently on your smaller platform until you're promoted.
His wisdom also led to products. He spoke proverbs and songs. May I tell someone that you're the next producer and next big brand that people will begin to pursue to buy. Solomon became a great brand that the whole world wanted to tap into. This same brand known as Solomon's wisdom brought the Queen of Sheba to Jerusalem in order to solve her doubts of how bohemian Solomon was described for vastness of wisdom. If you have a gift in your life and you're not using it to serve right where you are, then you may not taste how mighty it can become. Solomon asked for wisdom to govern Israel but look at how his unselfishness made him an international figure. In Solomon's days, all other great people and countries were inviting him to minister and coming to watch him. Yet, it was the wisdom that started as a seed of mustard in Jerusalem.
You can go beyond Jerusalem. Jesus was careful to tell us to start from our immediate environment but not stay there. He told the disciples to start from Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria until they reach the ends of the earth [Acts 1:8]. Somewhere must be your base. Jerusalem was Solomon's and from there He touched the world. May I prophesy concerning you that what seems local today will go worldwide. Solomon was not first an international presence that people were willing to pay to watch. He was a local champion using wisdom to settle disputes and social matters. His faithfulness grew his wisdom. May it be said of you that people will be coming to listen to your brand. This teaching is Olusola's brand if indeed we have a brand called Solomon's wisdom.
PRAYER: Lord, bless me with a valuable for mankind. Let it touch nations.
