In I Kings we find that God had chosen Solomon to take the seat as King and to be a builder. He was to build the temple of God.
Such a large assignment surly needed much prayer, meditation and consideration.
But Solomon was the man of the hour.
Was Solomon without flaws? No
But Solomon was equipped.
God does not choose people without flaws. He chooses people just as they are and equips them fully.
You like Solomon can:
- obtain wisdom and good understanding.
- have great relationships.
- be successful.
- be great
- do great things.
This is your time!
There is greatness in you that needs to be released into planet earth.
On the inside of you are gifts and talents. Ideas and insights.
Passions and possibilities that need to be drawn up and poured out with purpose.
Solomon's heart voice was very large.
Build the temple of God!!

You are the temple of God!
You are the place where the Spirit of God resides.
In order to be great you must first know that you are worthy of such Greatness, and that you are valuable and important.
It is vital that you take care for yourself, love yourself and build yourself up.
Until you see the importance of these things, and do them you will not live in God's best.
We are told by Jesus to love others as ourselves ... That is not selfishness, or self righteousness.
The Word tells us that we are to build ourselves up on our most holy faith.
And also to stir ourselves up (encourage ourselves).
None of these things are selfish nor futile. They are meaningful truths.
From the Word we can see the need to:
- Put on praise.
- Cast off heaviness.
- Lace our words with grace
- Be a continual stream of sweetness.
Living waters should be running through the midst of us continually.
A life giving flow of healing to every nation.
Our lives:
inspirational, beautiful, excellent, glorious, large, centered, balanced and atmospheric.
Our lives:
vibrant and appealing, full of light, a fresh and pleasant odor, life giving, balanced and God centered.
We should be:
- A place that others are drawn to and interested in.
- A place open and full of light by day or night.
- A house of prayer for all nations.
After after a time in our presence, people should leave refreshed and with a sense of value.
The beginning of great enterprises is a great person. A person who knows their God, and who also they are.
When you know God and who you are ... you will do valiantly.
When you walk aware of the fact that YOU ... Yes, YOU are the temple of God, respecting yourself, your entire life will begin to change (be transformed).
Once you are built up, you are a candidate to build others and to follow your heart's voice on to greater things.
What has God spoken to your heart?
What is your passion ... your desire?
Whatever it is ... after taken ownership of your own life, you are ready to take ownership of your passions and desires. You are ready to take the steps needed to achieve great things.
What ever your passion remember it will require your ...
- Dedication

You must live in the realm of God.
You must see the invisible and be willing to tackle what some would call impossible.
So go on ... build yourselves up.
Work on the temple of God ...
And once the temple is in shape ....
build others and step on out to achieve your hearts desire!
