“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Luke 11: 31
The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
We, the bride, the church should be careful in revealing the wisdom of God that is hidden in our soul so that we do not loose and are able to safeguard the graces of the Lord.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church should have faith with Christ and fellowship with the holy people.
Next what we are meditating upon is that 1 Kings 10: 1 – 5 Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, she came to test him with hard questions.
She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.
So Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing so difficult for the king that he could not explain it to her.
And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their apparel, his cupbearers, and his entryway by which he went up to the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.
According to the above-mentioned verses, after King Solomon received the wisdom of God when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, she came to test him with hard questions. She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart. So Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing so difficult for the king that he could not explain it to her. And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their apparel, his cupbearers, and his entryway by which he went up to the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her. Then the queen of Sheba said to the King in 1 Kings 10: 6 – 10 Then she said to the king: “It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom.
However I did not believe the words until I came and saw with my own eyes; and indeed the half was not told me. Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame of which I heard.
Happy are your men and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
Blessed be the Lord your God, who delighted in you, setting you on the throne of Israel! Because the Lord has loved Israel forever, therefore He made you king, to do justice and righteousness.”
Then she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great quantity, and precious stones. There never again came such abundance of spices as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
All the above-mentioned verses the queen of Sheba praised Solomon and she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great quantity, and precious stones. There never again came such abundance of spices as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
My dear people, all the previous words what the Lord has showed us as a pattern is that when we are anointed by the Lord and when we receive wisdom from the Lord it will result in many people hearing about it. Therefore, when they hear this the spirit of jealousy which is already there in the soul only from there to test us comes and arises in our soul and he is showing this as a pattern. Therefore, they will come to see and know our heart and the wisdom that is revealed. In this way they will see and know everything that is in our soul and so that we lose all the blessings that we have received from the Lord they praise as if they are praising us and so that our heart will lean upon this, they will fill us with many worldly things. Then our heart will lean upon this. Then it will result is us losing the grace that the Lord has given us. Therefore we must not give place in our soul for any queen of the earth, that is any harlot, and we must not desire on any things of the world and if anyone comes and praises us we must not receive that in our soul and submit ourselves to safeguard ourselves carefully.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
