2 Chronicles 2 - 3; 1 Kings 5 - 6 (11th June) - Benjamin

These 4 chapters talks about the request that King Solomon sent to Hiram, king of Tyre. It clearly states the materials required to build the grand temple for God (2 Chr 2-5), all of the finest quality. Thank God for Hiram, who provided the manpower and the materials required to make this magnificent house of God.

It even goes into the detailed measurements of the Most Holy Place.

I think it’s just amazing how the men of those times managed to build a building of such a scale. Imagine the effort and time required, given the lack of modern machineries. The reason motivation for them to carry on and build up the place is that this is the temple of God and they were the chosen ones to take on the tasks.


Sometimes, I wonder if any of us will be complaining and grumbling when we were the chosen ones to take on certain tasks that God has delegated to us. This brings me to the point about the 100K Challenge. It is a divine responsibility that God has placed upon the church leadership. We should be obedient followers and go forth to perform this task with joy and confidence!!
