Today's
Gospel Truth ~ "And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto
the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying ,
Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house
unto my name." 1 Kings 5:5
The
prophecy was given by the Prophet Nathan to David before his son Solomon was even born that God will use his
seed to build a house of worship for him.
Here we can see that before Solomon was birthed he had a very special
calling on his life, and being chosen to
do this special work, in scripture Solomon foreshadowed the Messiah. (see Zechariah 6:12-13)
After
David died Solomon received the throne and he immediately set out to complete
his father's heart's desire, which David
his father wasn't able to begin while he was alive because of the constant
battles he dealt with from nations around him.
Hiram a dear friend of David upon hearing of the wonderful news of
Solomon's new position sent a letter congratulating him on his position as the
new king over Judah. Solomon in return
sent word to Hiram of appreciation and requesting his assistance for his new
project of building the temple
which Hiram was happy to comply to
Solomon's request and thus supplied all that he needed.
The
assignment God has placed upon your life has already been thought out and
designed for you to accomplish just as Solomon did with building the house for
God. Solomon knew that he was
responsible to complete the assignment that was given to him and he worked
skillfully to do so. As we noted even
though the ultimate plan was for the
House of God to be built, it received opposition from battles constantly going
on which deterred David from being able to proceed with this desire, but in
time the prophecy came to pass. The
opposition you face from struggles do not carry the keys to lock your prophecy away from you. God took away the constant hindrances of his word coming to pass by
silencing all the enemies and the adversary and placing them under David's feet, therefore, there was no more
distractions of this prophetic word coming to life. As we trust God and step out in faith to
accomplish the Prophetic Words he has spoken to us he will also silence the
adversary and the opposition and place them under our feet and provide an Hiram
to comply all you'll need. **AMEN**
