How it ends matters.
Solomon started his Journey with God, He started good, And he was highly favored he was called Jedidiah which means friend of God or beloved of God. Solomon had a calling to build God's temple, which was the first temple in Isreal he was choosen to continue the legacy and convernat of his father David amoung all the children of David, he was favoured.
▪ He became the first king God visted directly in a dream, during his early reign. ▪ He was the only man in the whole bible who gave an burnt offering of 144,000 cattles and sheeps, solomon had the gift of giving, he gave like no other, no one in the bible could break his record. ▪ His 40 years reign was known as the **GOLDEN AGE** of israel, they experienced peace and prosperity like never before, his name was known all over Isreal and outside Isreal for his wealth and wisdom. In the end solomon in all his wisdom could not overcome **greed, Lust & corruption.** Because he forgot his early beginning, he got carried away by all his blessings. Solomon began to feel it was by his power and wisdom he got to the level he was, he forgot the source of his wisdom, pride began to creep in. Solomon started good but his end was bad.
***Jude 1:11 KJV*** ***Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.*** ****#remember....**** No matter how wise a man becomes, once God is subtracted from the equation, his wisdom becomes foolishness. #We are nolonger slaves to sin for we are sons & daughters of God.
*How is your relationship with God? How is your journey so far? Never loose focus*.

A lot of people don't ever think about the ends but always believe in a temporary thing they do and nothing more
Exactly which is very wrong
One must be careful with everything in order not to be carried away by the things of the world.
Yes very true
Well thanks for noting that
Always welcome
That's true, the end of a thing matter most
Yes but many tend to focus on only the beginning
Really inspiring. God should always come first.
Thank you
Impatience is really ravaging the world, the world is sick and needs healing, the world started with Him only and it's gonna end with Him only
Very true
We must work in accordance to the will of God every day of our life
Indeed, thank you for this contribution
May we not leave our source.....
Amen
