“…Solomon had finished the building the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do, that the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time.”
1 Kings 9:1-2 KJV
After Solomon had completed building the Temple of God and his own palace, all the projects he had set his heart on doing, God appeared to Solomon again. In the old covenant God saw Solomon’s attitude of building the house of God, the thoughts of his heart and the resulting outward behaviour and He was pleased and blessed Solomon in untold ways. In the new covenant, God Himself has built His House in us who are the Body of Christ. So now we are the whole family in heaven and earth as part of the House of God and He grants us , according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in our inner man; that Christ dwell in our heart by faith; and we are rooted and grounded in love, able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, length, depth, and height; to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, so we are filled with all the fulness of God. To Him Who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the Church, the House of God, by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen!
