I have always loved, admired and taken special interest on the great and wisest philosopher called king Solomon

A few years back, I had walked into the imposing and immaculate JSP office of my elder brother and father figure, Dr Phil Osagie to demand a quick answer to my secret, but chronic problem When we sat to talk, I was most emphatic in my demand and said

" I often make good money, but as it comes, I always spend it, most times in the fast life, I need good advice " was my stand

Taking a deep breath, Dr Phil simply said " You are not alone, many got that problem, my advice is simple as A.B.C...go and for the next two weeks study the Proverbs of king Solomon, but in a nutshell what I want you to work on is based in his heavy money advice " A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON PARTED WAYS"

That advice was life changing experience, I took time and time again to study the wise words of king Solomon, and though today, I still fail in money management, am by far a Better person than the me of days of yore, this quotes on king Solomon wealth advice can truly transform your destiny if well put to good use

PART II KING SOLOMON GIFTS AND RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS

" Who can Hasten like me? -king Solomon

 Many people have heard of King Solomon. He was probably best known as the king who built the first Jewish Temple around 957 B.C. But, King Solomon was also known for many other things.

Who was King Solomon in the Bible? King Solomon was born as the son of David and his wife Bathsheba in Jerusalem .Solomon’s name Originated  from the Hebrew word Shelomoh , which means peaceful.

As a boy, Solomon was entrusted by David to his prophet Nathan to train him. Nathan called him by the name Jedidiah, which means friend of God. Solomon was not the first born son so he was not first in line to become the heir to his father David’s throne.

 However, David decided based on God’s instruction early on that Solomon would sit on his throne instead of his elder sons . Solomon assumed the throne while David was still alive. However, this did not prevent David’s son, Adonijah, from trying to forcefully take the throne God ordained that Solomon would be the successor to the throne despite not being the oldest son. 

Solomon was Known for his wisdom.Not long after Solomon became King, God visited him in a dream and told Solomon to ask God what He should give him. Solomon replied saying that God had given his father David great mercy and a son to sit on the throne. He continued by saying that he was “but a little child" and did not know how to proceed as the king of God’s people. 

He then asked that God would give him and understanding heart to judge God’s people so that he could discern between good and bad. God was pleased with Solomon’s request. He said that because Solomon had not asked for long life, riches, nor the lives of his enemies, but instead understanding to discern judgement, He would give Solomon a wise and understanding heart. God added that there would be no one like him then or after him. God said that He would also give Solomon great riches and honor. 

God concluded by saying that if Solomon walked in God’s ways that He would give him a long life. Solomon woke from this dream and immediately went to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to make offerings and a feast for all his servants

It was not long after that the wisdom that God had given him was demonstrated. While judging a case between two women who each claimed they were the mother of the same newborn baby . Both women had newborn babies and one of the babies died in the night so the mother of the dead baby swapped the babies. When it was discovered in the morning, the women were fighting over whose baby had died. 

King Solomon immediately commanded that the baby be cut in half by a sword and each woman receive a half. One of the women cried out for King Solomon to give the baby to the other woman while the other woman was indifferent to the dividing of the baby so that neither would be awarded the living baby. Solomon declared that the woman who cried out was the real mother because she would rather give up her baby so that he would live instead of being killed. 

The people were astounded by his wisdom to get to the truth. Tasked with building the first Jewish Temple in Jerusalem Solomon’s father, David, desired to build a permanent temple for God while he was on the throne. However, God told David that because he had shed blood, he would not be allowed to build it. Instead, God told him that He had chosen his son Solomon to build it. David gave instructions to Solomon about how God wanted the temple built and provided everything that Solomon needed. Likewise, the people were so overjoyed that they willingly gave offerings to the Lord. The temple was started in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign and completed seven years later (1 Kings 6). 

David died before the temple was built. Very wealthy The Bible tells us that Solomon also built houses for himself. One was a personal home and the second was built as a house the he would use to judge court cases . This “courthouse" is where Solomon heard and decided cases. It was quite lavish and built from the finest of materials.

 He also built a house for his Egyptian wife, whom he married to make peace with Pharaoh (1 Kings 3). Solomon accumulated and spent great amounts of money on a lavish lifestyle like no other person in history. Involved with many women As we just learned, Solomon had an Egyptian wife. He went on to marry 700 wives and had 300 concubines or mistresses 

 Many of the women worshiped false Gods. This led Solomon to also worship false Gods, which had a negative impact on his life. We can see from Solomon’s weakness and desire for adulterous relationships that it eventually cause the loss of many blessings from God. Consumed with worldly and idolatrous pursuits Because of Solomon’s polygamy and lavish lifestyle, his time became more consumed with worldly and idolatrous pursuits. This led to Solomon ignoring the Lord’s directives, which angered God. 

Therefore, the Lord raised up enemies to attack and take away a large part of the kingdom from Solomon. God explained that He allowed this to happen because of Solomon’s worship of other gods and not walking in God’s ways. God did not forsake Solomon, but Solomon’s actions greatly influenced the kingdom in a negative way. It is sad that Solomon had all the wisdom in the world provided to him, yet, he also made choices that were unwise. 

Solomon’s death Solomon reigned for 40 years before dying and being buried in Jerusalem. In his final years, he had lost his zeal for God and the kingdom became an empty shell of its former glory. He was succeeded by his son Rehoboam, whom would lead the kingdom into further decay and destruction. 

PROWESS

 Solomon wrote numerous passages of Scripture Solomon is responsible for writing a great amount of Scripture (1 Kings 4:23-34). He wrote Ecclesiastes, Proverbs (Proverbs 1:1), and Song of Solomon. Some believe that Proverbs 30 and 31 were written by others. Song of Solomon was part of more than one thousand songs that he wrote 

 Regardless of what or how much he wrote, what we have in the Bible that was written by him was inspired by the Holy Spirit . What can we learn from Solomon? We learn from Solomon two main points. First, when we seek God’s will, God will provide a way for it to be accomplished. Whether it is wisdom, provision, protection, or preference, we can learn that when God is for us, nothing can prevail against us 

 Second, we can learn that despite God’s provision for our salvation, wants, and needs, we can also still make bad choices because we still have fleshly desires while we live on this earth. These fleshly desires will constantly want to rebel against what God tells us . Conclusion Solomon was probably best known as the king who built the first Jewish Temple around 957 B.C. 

 Despite all of God’s blessings, Solomon still made bad choices, but was quick to conclude that everything is vanity and reverence of God is the greatest thing in life
