The Place of Humility and Goodness for Common Blessings

Bible Nugget 0215 [2 Chronicles 7: 11 – 16 KJV]

11Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.

 12And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.

 13If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

 14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

 15Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

 16For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

God wants to bless all men and women, be they individuals or nations. The requisite by God is that the group of people be humble, pray and turn from their wicked ways.

Solomon, on the night of his coronation as King over Judah and Israel was endowed with wisdom by God.  He was given a choice by God to ask for anything and he asked for wisdom, and rightfully so because as a king that is required to govern. God not only gave him wisdom but also riches in abundance, so much that no other person was so blessed with wisdom until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in His earthly Ministry. For those who do not know, he wrote under divine inspiration, the books of proverbs, Ecclesiastics, Songs of Solomon and some chapters of Psalm in the Holy Bible.  One of the desires of Solomon was to build a befitting temple for the ark of God. At the dedication God appeared to Solomon again, confirmed the Davidic covenant of perpetual kingship if Solomon and his descendants remained obedient and served God faithfully, and promised to bless the nation if it remained a Godly Nation. Many kings did not follow God faithfully and the subjects became idolaters during their reign, for which the kingdom was judged and they served other nations including Babylon.

Thank God for his mercies in not leaving man to decide his own fate. Jesus fulfilled the eternal kingship. The people did not recognize the fulfillment of prophecy. Jesus referring to the abundance of Wisdom of Solomon, and the lack of knowledge of the children of Israel of his messiah ship, said in Matthew 12:42

42The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

Pray and ask for God’s mercy, national revival, and awakening by all men and women turning their hearts to serve God, through the saving knowledge of Jesus. National revival begins with personal revival. Pray for yourself , your family, people and nation.

Prayer Nugget 0215 

Pray for yourself and your people as follows:

Lord, I ask for your mercy in Jesus name. Lord forgive me for all my sins and unrighteousness, sins of omission or commission, inherited sin from my father and forefathers. Lord remove every hanging cloud of unfaithfulness over my life to you in Jesus name. I consecrate my self to you as a vessel of holiness and ready for the master’s use. I pray also for the forgiveness of sins of our land and the people. Have mercy O Lord and stay your wrath. Remember the blood of Jesus shed for the remission of the sins of many in Jesus name. Fill us with the spirit of humility as we come to you in righteousness and true holiness in Jesus name. Heal our land from every plague, famine and natural disasters in Jesus Name. Amen.
