“The Key of Knowledge”
Friday, April 26, 2024Key Verse
“Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?” 2 Chronicles 1:10
Text — 2 Chronicles 1:6-13
Message
King Solomon who became the wisest king on earth got the key of knowledge by asking from God, the Source of knowledge. He needed to rule the people aright so he sought from God for wisdom. He did not ask for riches, wealth and power as some people will do today if they are given opportunity to ask what they want.
The word of God has given us the opportunity like Solomon to ask anything from God. Will you ask for wisdom or you will ask for money to buy bicycle, toys, biscuits, ice cream, football, clothes and shoes? Be like king Solomon and ask for wisdom, knowledge and understanding, then all the other things you want will be added unto you. Solomon did not only get wisdom; he got all other things he did not ask for. The same thing will happen to you if you seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33)
