What if King Solomon hailed from Nigeria?

Solomon was a king of a kind. He wasn’t your regular king. 

If he were a Nigerian, he would have houses in all states of Nigeria, including plush places like Lekki, VI, and Abuja. He would have landed properties all over and this would be so easy because he would be the richest man not just in Nigeria but the richest man alive.

Ecc 2:4 (KJV) I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:

He would have farms, and forests and would grow all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, having massive income in the tourism sector. 

Ecc 2:5 (KJV) I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:

He would have the largest irrigation system that even APC and PDP would envy.

Ecc 2:6 (KJV) I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:

What if King Solomon hailed from Nigeria?

He would have the highest number of employees, Dangote would easily be one of his boys where wealth is concerned. He would have the largest livestock company in Africa.

Ecc 2:7 (KJV) I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:

He would largest amount in all the Banks, he would have diamond chains that David and Burnt Boy would envy. Sinach, Dunsi Oyekan,  Simisola, and their like would be regular guest ministers in his palace. Tiwa Savage, Teni, and the like would be regular too. Beyonce and Rihanna would be flown in weekly to entertain him.

Ecc 2:8 (KJV) I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

He would be an impulsive buyer, purchasing just anything he likes no matter how expensive. His daily expenses would easily run into hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Ecc 2:10 (KJV) And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.

What if King Solomon hailed from Nigeria?

But upon all, he would conclude that it is all vanity!

Ecc 2:11 (KJV) Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

There was nothing to all of it. Just smoke, nothing but smoke! 

The reality King Solomon is telling us. Is that without Jesus, all is vanity

Without Jesus, that wedding honeymoon in the Bahamas is vanity. That multi-million dollar wedding budget is all rubbish without Jesus.

All the money, acquisitions, properties, power, followers, and fans on social media are all vanity without Jesus.

The message is clear. Go after Jesus first. Don’t waste your time! Learn from the wisest and the richest man on earth at a time.

Good morning!
