LEADING PEOPLE REQUIRES ” WISDOM” AND KNOWLEDGE.
Because this was in your heart
Before God appeared to Solomon in the night, He knew what was in the heart of Solomon. 2 Chronicles 1:[11]God replied to Solomon, Because this was in your heart and you have not asked for riches, possessions, honor, and glory, or the life of your foes, or even for long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may rule and judge My people over whom I have made you king,
Have you ever wondered what was in the heart of Solomon even before God appeared to Him in the night . What was in the heart of Solomon was a desire for wisdom so that he may be able to lead the people of God as he was thus meant to lead the people of God

You can’t lead a church without wisdom or knowledge

When God appeared to Solomon in the night, God gave him an opportunity to ask what he wanted to ask from the LORD but the man did not ask for many thing’s. The man did not ask for a flight ticket. He asked him what do you want me to give you.
Solomon’s answer was Wisdom so that He may lead his people 2 Chronicles 1:7-10[7]That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, Ask what I shall give you.[8]And Solomon said to God, You have shown great mercy and loving-kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place.[9]Now, O Lord God, let Your promise to David my father be fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
[10]Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this Your people who are so great?
