  The life of Solomon is a lesson for everyone to learn from,
• 0:04
  especially when we think that we can get through satisfaction
• 0:09
  from external things. Solomon was the wisest king in
• 0:13
  his time, in the whole of this world, and he had all the powers
• 0:18
  you can ever think of. He was the wealthiest also
• 0:22
  because part of the promise God gave him was that you're going
• 0:24
  to be the richest person in your time.
• 0:28
  So we see the display of wisdom with the display of wealth.
• 0:31
  And then he was famous. His fame spread all over every
• 0:34
  region because of the dexterity of his wisdom.
• 0:37
  But beyond just that, Solomon had 300 wives, the one he
• 0:41
  married from other kingdoms, the Queens, the princesses of other
• 0:45
  kingdoms. And he has 700 concubines,
• 0:49
  meaning these ones he didn't like officially, officially made
• 0:52
  them to be his wives, but they were having affairs.
• 0:56
  Do you realize that such a man, after everything that he has
• 0:59
  done, he now came to a conclusion that all is vanity?
• 1:05
  I mean, he didn't say somethings are vanity.
• 1:06
  So it's something that we can learn from in our pursuit for
• 1:10
  what we call fulfillment or that emptiness within or so for
• 1:14
  somebody, you think if you can get that promotion at your job
• 1:16
  place, you'll be satisfied. For somebody you think if you
• 1:19
  can increase your paycheck, then you know you, it's good for you.
• 1:23
  For somebody here you're thinking I need to pay my
• 1:25
  mortgage, I need to pay this, I need to buy this and to go for
• 1:27
  shopping. I need to travel around the
• 1:29
  world. I'll be satisfied while I'm in
• 1:30
  that first class, business class.
• 1:32
  So you see, all of those things are important to achieve.
• 1:36
  All of those things are great too.
• 1:37
  Even for somebody here, you may see, if I can just imagine the
• 1:39
  next president of my nation, I will be satisfied.
• 1:43
  Well, if the wisest, the most powerful, the most influential,
• 1:48
  the richest man on earth and the man that had all the women you
• 1:52
  can think of of different shades and shapes could still come back
• 1:55
  and say all is vanity. It means it's a lesson for us in
• 1:59
  this generation to know that truly the only thing that can
• 2:02
  satisfy you is God. That's why in Genesis 1 when he
• 2:06
  said in the beginning God. So in the beginning of
• 2:09
  everything, it must be God first, not any other not
• 2:13
  pleasure. You must come to a place where
• 2:16
  you realize that everything you give yourself to apart from God
• 2:21
  will not and cannot satisfy you. So it is only God that can bring
• 2:24
  us to a place of accomplishment whereby you are content with
• 2:29
  that what you have in as much as you hunger for more.
• 2:32
  But you understand that that is just an added advantage, not the
• 2:35
  entire substance of your life. So even if you don't have that
• 2:39
  job, you are contented, You are grateful to God, even if that
• 2:42
  next money, that next promotion didn't come true, even if you do
• 2:46
  not emerge as the president of the nation.
• 2:48
  This is not to create a mediocre mentality.
• 2:50
  No, I believe in pressing into all that God has for you.
• 2:55
  But this is a mindset that we must sustain because most times
• 2:58
  people think if I can give myself to everything as I will
• 3:02
  be satisfied. So we find the younger
• 3:04
  generation in many, many things trying to get this, trying to do
• 3:08
  this, trying to do that. Eventually we realize that all
• 3:10
  of those things does not equate to any satisfaction within us.
• 3:15
  So it means that true satisfaction only come from God.
• 3:18
  And I can tell you this first hand.
• 3:20
  That is why you can do all you need to do so long God is not at
• 3:24
  the epicenter of it, you'll find yourself not manifesting to the
• 3:27
  fullness of what He has told you to accomplish.
• 3:30
  So what is the message today? We must keep on pressing in in
• 3:34
  our quest and pursuit for God. Don't get to a place where you
• 3:37
  take God as a luggage. Making be the priority of your
• 3:40
  life. Making be the epicenter of your
• 3:43
  life. Making be everything that
• 3:45
  matters to you. Because if as you keep on
• 3:47
  pursuing all of those things, you keep on pursuing money,
• 3:49
  fame, women, men, however you know influence, you will get
• 3:53
  there and you still find yourself just the empty without
• 3:55
  God. But if you get there with God,
• 3:57
  that's what the psalmist you said.
• 3:58
  By God I can run through a troop and through him I can leap over
• 4:01
  a wall, he said. Then is he to wake up in the
• 4:04
  morning only to eat the bread of souls?
• 4:05
  For God giveth his beloved sleep.
• 4:08
  That is the word for someone today.
• 4:10
  God can satisfy you, God bless you and this is the daily
• 4:14
  transformation. Share this with your love for
• 4:15
  now there.
