WHERE SOLOMON IS HEADQUARTERED - Witness Series 009
Ecclesiastes 1:1, KJV
"The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem".
Solomon was king where? Jerusalem! When God causes your rising, your rising will be tied to a place. In your becoming famous, that place will become famous also. Even if where God will cite you is undeveloped or popular, by your works and fame, it will take a new turn. You'll begin to see men patronize that place which previously may be the reproach of many. You'll begin to see multitude and throngs of people calling the name of that place. Ventures and new setup will begin to be situated round it. Why? An anointing, a gift or a grace has made that place its residence and is causing a change. Don't forget, it is where the carcass is that the fowls of the air gets drawn to. John the Baptist was in the wilderness yet people trooped out to watch him preach and get baptized in Jordan [John 3:1,5-6]. Anointing draws and once the drawing starts, it will as well turn a jungle into a city. It's just a matter of time.
Solomon, that great preacher was king in Jerusalem. Due to this, Jerusalem's highways never rested. People were trooping in from all places to listen to Solomon's wisdom. His fame had gone to the ends of the earth and now Jerusalem has been set above all cities and places of visitation also. Only God knows how much they earned in Israel a year because of the crowd and pilgrimage who traveled to witness Solomon. Through Solomon, many foreign products found its way to Jerusalem. People saw and heard foreigners they would never have seen. Many Israelites became more prosperous as they build inns for rentals for these pilgrimages. Yet, all these were caused just because of a man, Solomon.
I Kings 10:2, KJV
"And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones..."
Did you see that? She came where? Jerusalem! When the wise men saw Jesus' star as well and heard of His fame in the East, they came where? Jerusalem also [Matt.2:1-2]. It doesn't matter whether that place God will cite you is far. It doesn't matter whether people don't even know the place. Like the wise men enquired of men and were guided by divine means, men will enquire and be led by providence to contact you too. Once God sets you somewhere, just know that place will no longer be hidden. It won't be the road less travelled again.
Through you, God wants to bring fame to a place. God wants its name to be heard. Benin City became extremely popular attracting tons of international audience when Archbishop Benson Idahosa was alive. Yet, Benin City was not Lagos. It doesn't matter where you're cited. As long as there's still balm in Gilead, men shall find you out. They shall seek you for ministration. I pray that your glory won't wane but God will use you to bring focus, attention and regard to such places that have been despised or are invisible. Nathaniel said, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" [John 1:45-46]. Yet Jesus did His childhood there and so was regarded as a Nazarene. Many times in the Bible, you'll hear people call Jesus in association with Nazareth. They'll say, "Jesus of Nazareth". It is this year and not another. Your name shall be known in relation with a place. Once they mention your name, that place will come to mind and once that place is mentioned, your name will come to mind. I show you a mystery.
PRAYER: Cite me. Use me to bring a total change to a land.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Genesis 5:1-7:24, Matthew 3:7-4:11, Psalm 3:1-8, Proverbs 1:10-19
