The wise judgement of Solomon


“And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.” 1 Kings 3:28
Beloved, in your daily life, you will have to judge situations and people right in order to make decisions that will affect your life and the people around you. For this to be done, you need the wisdom of God.
Solomon asked God for wisdom knowing fully well that his decisions and judgement would affect the people of Israel. The first situation that confronted him was that of two women who slept at night. One slept badly to kill her son. The other slept badly to the extent that her life son was exchanged for the dead one and she knew it not. Both women wanted the living child. Solomon asked that the living child should be divided into two for both of them to share. The owner of the living child said they should give the child to the other woman because she did not want her child to be killed; but the owner of the dead child did not mind, she said the living child should be killed. Solomon used this to know who owns the living child.
Beloved, the bible says that greater than Solomon is here. You have Jesus inside of you and so you carry the wisdom and the power of God to discern and make wise judgement. Some people will come to deceive you and cheat you of your money and valuables. Some business will come which are good for you to invest in while some will come to take away your money. You must operate in the wisdom of God to know what to do. Apart from this, you must deal wisely in all areas of life in order to avoid the heartache of bad decisions.
May you operate in the wisdom of God, may sound discernment be found in you in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: O God lead me by the way that I should go and teach me to make profit in Jesus name.
