a best selling author and charismatic teacher of spirit led truth.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
But the story of Solomon rising the power is in
the Book of Kings so let's go to that so
we could learn some things about how God used the
circumstances and situation. David was old, I mean old. He
(01:36):
was old, and this is how they concluded that he
was really old. They sent a pretty young woman in
to take care of him, and nothing happened. I read
the book. I'm just telling I didn't write it. I
read it. It's in the book. I think pastor has
(01:58):
gone too far. It's in the book. There's some things
in there that are disturbing and also surprising. So that's
how they tested it. They send this young woman in
and she became part of his group. She became his caretaker,
his nurse. He had disconnected himself from leadership. So as
(02:23):
a result, it created a leadership vacuum, also a power vacuum.
So you understand when a vacuum like that is created,
there are those who are looking seeing the vacuum and
thinking about filling it. And that's why if you don't
(02:47):
build a culture of succession and plan for succession, no
matter what industry you're in, no matter what corporation or organization,
then you create by virtue of not doing it, you
create a leadership and a power vacuum, and there's just
too many stories, bad stories of how leadership vacuums were filled.
(03:12):
So David created that. So after a period of time,
someone now emerges and says, we've got to do something
about this. The first one to emerge is at a Niger,
David's oldest living son, and he decides, since he is
(03:32):
the eldest, that he is going to fill that power vacuum,
and he determines to be king.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
So now we have an agenda, we've got some ambition,
got an agenda, we've got some ambition, we've got an
individual who's willing to step out say let's do something.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
So I didn't know if you want to be king,
you need some support. You can't just step up and
say I'm kinging gonna have some support. He already had
some political capital personally because he was one of David's sons,
so he did have an advantage, right. So what Adonijah
(04:16):
does is he reaches out to a military commander who
was the leading one of the leading military commanders and
solicits his support. We're not told what promises he made
to this man, but he simply said, I want you
to support me. I'm gonna be king, so he had
(04:39):
military support. How many know a king needs military Absolutely
got to have some troops behind you. He also reached
out to one of the leading priests and got his endorsement.
Are you all listening to me? Representing the religious establishment?
(05:00):
And how many know if you're a candidate, you need
to reach out to the religious establishment because religious establishments
on one day of the week speak to quite a
few people. So through that religious leader, you get to
touch all the lives of the people that that religious
(05:21):
leader touches. Although it's in Israel at this time, there's
no difference. People are the same. Power plays are the same,
hey man. And essentially Ada Nisa was making a power play.
We got some intrigue going on here. So what he
decides and his supporters to have a ceremony, a public
(05:43):
ceremony to basically present him self as the new king
got it. Essentially it was going to be a coronation
and he was prepared to do it central so that
everybody can come out and celebrate him. But God didn't
(06:07):
say at a Nyja would be the successor to David.
God said Solomon. See and if you, if you, if
you were privy to that prophecy, that prophetic announcement, and
and you you hear about this going on, you you
start saying, whoa, what's going on? Where's God? What's happening?
(06:28):
You know how we do? Where's God? Because things are
not shaping up in the direction of the answer that
God promised. You know, when your life and circumstances don't
line up and you start questioning, God promise you the job,
and someone else is in there talking to the boss.
(06:48):
And God made sure that the windows of the office
with glassed as you could see what's going on, tell
you and everything talking about somebody you know. Come on,
so we have a power play no different than what
goes on in our world today. Come on, you want
to be president of the United States. You need supporters.
(07:12):
You have to decide what party, what tickets you're gonna
run on. And let's tell you something. Let me reduce
politics to two simple things. You ready, Where are two
simple questions? Where are the votes? And where is the money?
Got it? And if the majority of people are voting
on this and you line up with this, you'll have
(07:39):
their votes. And if the majority of the money is
supporting that, you'll have the money. And then you craft
a campaign to get those votes and to get that money.
And when you're crafting that campaign, you're gonna have to
(08:00):
decide some hard questions. I disagree with that, then don't run.
Because if the only way you can see yourself getting
elected is to hold on to one narrow set of ideas,
then you're simply running to make a statement. And if
(08:20):
you got that kind of money, fine, But if you're
looking to win, you think differently. Are you with me? Yeah?
And I'm just in general, this is the hard truth here, folks. Right,
So a politicians saying, okay, what are people voting on?
All right? Because I'm crafting my campaign, so I want
to make sure, Okay, they stand for that. I'm gonna
stand for that. They stand for that too, they'll vote me.
(08:42):
I'll stand for that too, all right. Money money will
go to pay for that stand I'll stand for that.
So I get that money so I can stand for that.
I'm mean saying what I'm talking about here. It's unfortunately,
but that's what really goes on. There are some who
said have a certain certain ideal and they say, okay,
we're gonna push for that, but they're also thinking, can
(09:04):
we get people to finance that. Can we get people
to vote for that. A lot of thinking has to
go in before you step out and announce that you're running.
And some people don't care. They just announce it. Anyway.
Have you watched the news the last two weeks? And
(09:24):
what are they banking on that? They're not the only
ones that want this particular person who's in power out
of power. So maybe they can stir something up enough
to replace that individual. And so the power play at
a NASA says, I'm the best candidate. I should be king.
(09:48):
But then a woman hears about this. I'm telling you,
Oh yeah, bath cheaper. You remember her, especially this part
of her name. Guess who her son is, Solomon. So
(10:11):
mama is going to bat. She realizes she needs power.
There's someone else who's paying attention to what's going on politically.
At the same time, a prophet named Nathan and he
was important because he's a power broker. People look to him.
He had a lot of influence because he's the one
who challenged David concerning Basheba. He stood with that prophetic
(10:34):
mantle of authority, authenticity. He was the real deal and
people looked at him with respect. So that's the kind
of power broker you want on your side, because when
you're putting together a coalition, you want influencers. Right. The
prophet Nathan power broker, so he sees what's going on,
(10:55):
and Basheba and Nathan team up. Want to get Solomon
in position of power. They also need more supporters, so
they reach out to another commander of the military and
get his support. Coalitions growing, they reach out to another
(11:20):
leading priests and get his support. So now the religious
establishment has to choose between the two. She's also one
of David's wives, so she has her own personal political power.
Now we've got two going for the same throne, two coalitions,
(11:42):
Which one do you think is most powerful? I go
with the woman every time. Who's going to influence David
most his wife or his son. So they get together
and go to David. Now he's old, he's not thinking
as sharp as he was when he was warrior king.
(12:05):
And they go back and they go to David and
they say, David, remember when you said that God chose
Solomon to be your heir. It didn't matter whether David
remembered or not. In that scenario, his memory would be
whatever she said, And guess what. That's exactly what happened,
(12:29):
and he agreed. So now added to the coalition is
the former king himself. So what does she plan? A
public ceremony just like Ada Nijah, a coronation, but she's
going to put Solomon on David's mule, so in case
(12:51):
David can't make it, his mule can make it. And
with Solomon on top of David's mule, it's symbolizes David's
come on, David's endorsement. Woman is stacking the debt. She
got it. So they plan and announced the carnation. They
(13:13):
announced the ceremony. At A finds out his supporters scatter.
They can't deal with this coalition. They run. So the
ceremony takes place and Solomon presented as king. Got it.
(13:39):
So what does Solomon do? He looks for and finds
the military commander who supported at and he assassinates him.
De means dead. He finds the priest, the leading priest,
(14:02):
what does d mean? He gets Idonizer and he says, look,
if you're not a threat to me, I'll let you live,
but if you become a threat d they are twenty
nineteen version. Adaraniza chills out, but David puts him on
(14:26):
house arrest. Then Idonizer comes up with a plan. He
asks to marry the woman who was nursing David because
if he marries her now, it gives him some political
power because he's marrying one of David's wives. Solomon says,
(14:54):
what he sees it as a political move, So Solomon
take him out. Then Solomon has a meeting with the
(15:14):
king of Egypt and marries his daughter. This way Egypt
won't attacked because they'll be attacking his own flesh and blood.
It was a political marriage and also a trade marriage
because when Salomon started his development building's programming, all right,
(15:38):
he would need a supply of salo that was in
lebanonc that was under Egypt's power, So it was also
trade was economic decision. But most importantly, Egypt had the
greatest military. So not only did he secure all of
this support in his coalition, but now he brought Egypt
(15:59):
and its power and its economy in his coalition. So
Solomon became king. You think, you see, but how did
he become king? Yes, God said he was going to
be king, but it's God associated with all that murder, assassination,
(16:22):
house arrests, is God associated with all that is? God
associated with all that? Really, you're making God an accomplice
to this. This was a cool data. It was a
coul one, pretty rightful heir because he was the oldest.
(16:45):
At a nisa emerged, put it together. A coalition moved in,
and then this coalition stepped in and overthrew the first coalition.
Did God do that? Some things God willed, some things
God permitted. God saw the whole play. He knew that
(17:11):
these ambitions, these agendas, these fears came together to form
exactly what he needed in order to see David come
in I'm sorry, Solomon come into power. Do you know
what he does with your circumstances and situation. He allows
certain things to happen, because with those things happening, it
(17:38):
sets you up for his will and purposes to be
accomplished in your life. He sets up who you're gonna meet,
when you're gonna meet them, how you're gonna meet them,
the circumstances, and sometimes he'll let you meet somebody and
they don't even play a role until ten years later. Yeah,
(18:01):
when as a teenager, I played cyo basketball and we
played ball in this neighborhood, We would come play at
the gym right over lyndon the Boulevard school. When we won,
we ran home. When we lost, we walked home. We
stopped to eat. He had time when you lose. One
(18:25):
of the neighbors used to bring us over to Bessie
Head Pool to go swimming. It was back in the sixties.
I had no idea that later in life I would
be here building something like this and building something that's
(18:48):
going to change the future of this community. I had
no idea that I was associated with that. But God
just let me stop by just to expel and make
me a little familiar with my destiny, even though I
had no idea what that destiny was. How many un
offAnd what I'm talking about? And sometime we experience moments
(19:11):
like that and we say, oh, DejaVu, how many been
there where? And it's like, wait a minute, I saw this.
I even knew what was going to happen next, but
I didn't know what quick enough to say it was
gonna happen. People situation circumstances that God arranges throughout your life.
(19:33):
I'm allowing you to touch certain things, touch certain people, only
to bring them back up again. If we bring it
down to a very minute level. Having your attention drawn
to a book, you buy it and don't read it
until next year, and all of a sudden, somehow that
book and then the information in it relates to something.
Come on, come on, come on. It's God orchestrating, setting
(20:04):
things up, knowing, foreseeing, knowing what you would need, when
you would need it, how you would need it, answering
not only your prayers, but people who prayed for you,
people who prayed not for you, but for certain changes
to take place, and you were the one that would
be an answer to their prayer. You didn't know them,
(20:24):
they didn't know you, You didn't know the situation. And
here we are.

remembered or not. In that scenario, his memory would be
whatever she said, And guess what. That's exactly what happened,
(12:29):
and he agreed. So now added to the coalition is
the former king himself. So what does she plan? A
public ceremony just like Ada Nijah, a coronation, but she's
going to put Solomon on David's mule, so in case
(12:51):
David can't make it, his mule can make it. And
with Solomon on top of David's mule, it's symbolizes David's
come on, David's endorsement. Woman is stacking the debt. She
got it. So they plan and announced the carnation. They
(13:13):
announced the ceremony. At A finds out his supporters scatter.
They can't deal with this coalition. They run. So the
ceremony takes place and Solomon presented as king. Got it.
(13:39):
So what does Solomon do? He looks for and finds
the military commander who supported at and he assassinates him.
De means dead. He finds the priest, the leading priest,
(14:02):
what does d mean? He gets Idonizer and he says, look,
if you're not a threat to me, I'll let you live,
but if you become a threat d they are twenty
nineteen version. Adaraniza chills out, but David puts him on
(14:26):
house arrest. Then Idonizer comes up with a plan. He
asks to marry the woman who was nursing David because
if he marries her now, it gives him some political
power because he's marrying one of David's wives. Solomon says,
(14:54):
what he sees it as a political move, So Solomon
take him out. Then Solomon has a meeting with the
(15:14):
king of Egypt and marries his daughter. This way Egypt
won't attacked because they'll be attacking his own flesh and blood.
It was a political marriage and also a trade marriage
because when Salomon started his development building's programming, all right,
(15:38):
he would need a supply of salo that was in
lebanonc that was under Egypt's power, So it was also
trade was economic decision. But most importantly, Egypt had the
greatest military. So not only did he secure all of
this support in his coalition, but now he brought Egypt
(15:59):
and its power and its economy in his coalition. So
Solomon became king. You think, you see, but how did
he become king? Yes, God said he was going to
be king, but it's God associated with all that murder, assassination,
(16:22):
house arrests, is God associated with all that is? God
associated with all that? Really, you're making God an accomplice
to this. This was a cool data. It was a
coul one, pretty rightful heir because he was the oldest.
(16:45):
At a nisa emerged, put it together. A coalition moved in,
and then this coalition stepped in and overthrew the first coalition.
Did God do that? Some things God willed, some things
God permitted. God saw the whole play. He knew that
(17:11):
these ambitions, these agendas, these fears came together to form
exactly what he needed in order to see David come
in I'm sorry, Solomon come into power. Do you know
what he does with your circumstances and situation. He allows
certain things to happen, because with those things happening, it
(17:38):
sets you up for his will and purposes to be
accomplished in your life. He sets up who you're gonna meet,
when you're gonna meet them, how you're gonna meet them,
the circumstances, and sometimes he'll let you meet somebody and
they don't even play a role until ten years later. Yeah,
(18:01):
when as a teenager, I played cyo basketball and we
played ball in this neighborhood, We would come play at
the gym right over lyndon the Boulevard school. When we won,
we ran home. When we lost, we walked home. We
stopped to eat. He had time when you lose. One
(18:25):
of the neighbors used to bring us over to Bessie
Head Pool to go swimming. It was back in the sixties.
I had no idea that later in life I would
be here building something like this and building something that's
(18:48):
going to change the future of this community. I had
no idea that I was associated with that. But God
just let me stop by just to expel and make
me a little familiar with my destiny, even though I
had no idea what that destiny was. How many un
offAnd what I'm talking about? And sometime we experience moments
(19:11):
like that and we say, oh, DejaVu, how many been
there where? And it's like, wait a minute, I saw this.
I even knew what was going to happen next, but
I didn't know what quick enough to say it was
gonna happen. People situation circumstances that God arranges throughout your life.
(19:33):
I'm allowing you to touch certain things, touch certain people, only
to bring them back up again. If we bring it
down to a very minute level. Having your attention drawn
to a book, you buy it and don't read it
until next year, and all of a sudden, somehow that
book and then the information in it relates to something.
Come on, come on, come on. It's God orchestrating, setting
(20:04):
things up, knowing, foreseeing, knowing what you would need, when
you would need it, how you would need it, answering
not only your prayers, but people who prayed for you,
people who prayed not for you, but for certain changes
to take place, and you were the one that would
be an answer to their prayer. You didn't know them,
(20:24):
they didn't know you, You didn't know the situation. And
here we are.
