KING SOLOMON BOWED, I REFUSE TO BOW

Post date: Apr 29, 2021 11:16:37 PM

“The earth belongs to God. Everything in all the world is His. He is the one who pushed the oceans back to let dry land appear. Who may climb the mountain of the Lord and enter where He lives? Who may stand before the Lord? Only those with pure hands and hearts, who do not practice dishonesty and lying. They will receive God’s own goodness as their blessing planted in their lives by God Himself. These are the ones who are allowed to stand and worship the God of Jacob. Open up, O ancient gates, and let the King of Glory in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, invincible in battle. Yes open wide the gates and let the King of Glory in. Who is this King of Glory? The Commander of all of heaven’s armies.” Psalms 24:1-10

How many believers, pastors, deacons, deaconess, bishops, prophets, elders, teachers of God’s words, and youths are still standing with clean hands before God in His house? How many are with clean hearts while pasturing, praying, and leading the children of God? How many are still standing with unstained garments? How many are still convinced in their hearts that they are true and viable in the hands of God? How many are true in their word and in their marriages? How many are still standing for the true word of God only enduring the challenges and shame therein? It is true that many have stained hands, stained hearts, stained conscience, stained relationships, and living in the pretense that they are quite aware of. How many are prophesying because they have bow down to evil? How many have become rich and famous in the hands of Satan by ignoring the commands and precepts of God? How many have bowed to Satan for the sake of fame and wealth? The Scripture says sustainable wealth and fame without evil daily sacrifices to idols and men of corrupt intentions comes from only God with peace and long life attached. “Always remember that it is the Lord your God who gives you power to become rich and He does it to fulfill His promise to your ancestors. The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it” Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 10:22. God will fulfill all His words and promises to you despite the delays and the endless attack, refuse to bow to evil demands.

Solomon inherited great wealth from David his father; upon asking God for wisdom and not for the destruction of his enemies, God gave Solomon wisdom that the wise and learned in his days could not refute or challenge and added wealth, riches, and long life with promise. But soon after his establishment as king, Solomon craved fame beyond the borders of Israel, and instead of asking God for it, he started accumulating wives. Because of the desire for fame, security and driven by pride and ego, Solomon ignored wisdom, ignored the word and command of God; bow to his thoughts and imaginations, and went after and married several strange wives including the daughter of Pharaoh. God had told Israel not to multiply wives. “King Solomon loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter. They were from nations which the Lord had told the Israelites, you must not intermarry because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods. Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God.” 1 Kings 11:1-4

The known and unknown ancient gates in your life and family standing against you and in their evil boldness demand you bow down to their evil schemes before they can let you go will fall as King Pharaoh of Egypt fell; their kingdom will crumble as the kingdom of Egypt did crumble; their associates will scatter as the people of Egypt scattered; their pride will be brought to ruined by our God; every one of those standing with them will flee, all of them will have a sad story to tell as the Egyptian did on the night the children of Israel began their journey to the Promised Land. The God who promised their freedom to Abraham and performed it in the days of Moses will also do as He had promised in our days. I will not bow to evil, bow to fear, or bow to ungodliness, and will not bow down to the things that Christ hates. For Prayers Click here
