After the death of King Solomon, 2Chronicles 10:1 says “And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.” After this, all Israel (2Chronicles 10:3) said to the new king (the dead king’s son) in 2Chronicles 10:4 “Thy father made our yoke grievous; now therefore, ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke that he put upon us and we will serve you”
This is weird to me because I expected Israel to be in wealth because of their wise and Godly king and also the report of 1Kings 10:27 that “And the king (Solomon) made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance” but clarity came when my eyes were opened to the fact that despite ALL ISRAEL being in “grievous servitude”, only Jerusalem (where the king resides) was in abundant abundance!
This is like what is happening in Nigeria, despite the hardship with increased taxes, levies, inflation, job loss all over the country, for those who are where the Lord resides, reigns and rules, they will not be in servitude but will be in abundant abundance such that it will not be as if they live in the same country!
One country, Two Economy.
Jesus Christ’s Economy or President Buhari’s Economy.
Choose Christ.
Shalom!
