King Solomon is one man many will describe as favoured, blessed and God fearing. This man saw and spoke with God one on one in a vision. He was close to God and was very much loved by God so much so that God called Him Jediddiah (beloved).

God made him both wise and wealthy, because he pleased God in his early years as king over Isreal. But was this enough? No!.

One would have thought that a man who was so close to and loved by God, the man who wrote the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, would end up well and strong as a legend of faith. After all, he had the man after God's heart, David, as father. What a role model!.

But Solomon ended up poor, and had to depend on excessive and violent tax to maintain his large family.

Solomon who built the biggest and best temple for God in his days, turned away from God and built temples for idols and devils.

Solomon who prayed the glory of God down, turned around to be the one inviting all manner of strange gods and cultic practices to Israel.

Solomon who spoke with God at one point and was loved so closely, became an offense before God. This man of peace and grace became the reason why Isreal was divided into two!.

This man whose only burning desire was to do God's will in terms of leading God's people, became the very person who broke God's laws by marrying many strange ungodly women contrary to the instruction of God!.

What Happened? How could this be?.

Solomon allowed pride, greed and lust to eat away his heart and passion for God.

To Solomon, God became too common and familiar, so he could do without Him.

Solomon feared and respected the wishes of men more than God.

Note that the fall of this man wasn't instant but gradual.

Are these and many more sins not plaguing our lives today?. Have we not become too familiar with God, are we not now adding the doctrines of Satan to our faith?. Unbelievers now find it difficult to differentiate between us and them.

What shall be your end child of God?. Examine yourself.

Let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lests he falls.

May God's grace abound to us all in Jesus name. Amen!.

More grace to your elbow bro.

Good write up!

Take care not to commonize grace. It's free, yes, but it's not to be taken lightly

Seek the help and grace of God always. You can never ask too much of grace. We need it now more than ever before.

In our walk with God, we must constantly seek His grace and depend on Him. Never get too used to God to take Him or His word for granted. God's words are laws that cannot be undermined by anybody.

They're impersonal. It will work for anyone who obeys them and will act against anyone who misapply or disobey them.

Be the one who obeys them and reap the positive harvest.

May God's Grace and Love abound unto you in Jesus name. Amen!.
