Every generation of history has searched for answers that meet the cry of the human spirit. There have been many men and women
blessed with the coordination to give an answer to some of these vital questions. A long time ago there lived one such man.
His wisdom exceeded all who lived before him and all who have followed him. The reason we know this to be so is that GOD Himself
ordained the supremacy of wisdom and understanding to be given to this one man—and him alone, as it is written, “Lo,
I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like before thee, neither after thee shall any
arise like unto thee.” I Ki.3:12. His name was King Solomon. The wisdom of Confucius could not compare to this man.
The wisdom of Buddha or Gandhi were mere vignettes of the Wisdom of Solomon. From Aristotle and Plato to the Caesars and Popes
of Rome, their wisdom paled in comparison to this man. From the early forefathers of America to those who live today: none
will ever approach the Wisdom of Solomon: Wisdom ordained from on High. Nowhere in history could any of the sages of the ages
stand up to the magnitude of the Wisdom given by the GOD of heaven to Solomon. All that is good that has proceeded through
history is a reflection of men giving honor to that Wisdom, recorded and made available to you and me, to learn and discern
the boundaries, of both peace and danger. The Wisdom of Solomon addresses every
aspect of GOD’S plan of salvation and how to best live our lives in a sinful world: to be in the world but not of the
world (Jn.17:15). Solomon prayed to God and set his heart to find “knowledge,” “understanding,” and
“wisdom.” “Knowledge” is factual information. “Understanding” is the combination of knowledge
with life's experience. And “wisdom” is the practical and public application of understanding, that, when
blessed of GOD, meets the various needs of our lives. Only by this plea to GOD could Solomon properly serve the kingdom entrusted
to his care. God answered the cry of his heart with an abundance of each. And coupled with this gift from on High came every
comfort that a sinful world can provide to a man. Solomon was lavished with everything both productive and destructive to
the human soul. In his life is experienced the summit and the pits of human nature. The sinful side of his life gives us insight
into the final result from indulging in the base passions for the insatiable desires of this world. What did Solomon discover
at the end of his life’s journey? “I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is
vanity and vexation of spirit” Eccl.1:14. A sense of insatiable emptiness was all he was left with!
But although Solomon indulged in sin, degrading the ways of GOD, cowering them to the ways of sinful men, Solomon’s
GOD-given Wisdom led to his repentance in later years. In the tone of repentance he wrote: “One sinner destroyeth much
good.” Eccl.9:18. He well knew that he had set in motion the seeds of apostasy that would lead to the destruction of
Israel, and even to Israel’s rejection of the coming Christ. Solomon understood that his example contributed to evil's
reign on the Earth. And to this contribution, he repented. This lay at the heart of his sadness as a wise old man at the end
of his life’s journey. But among the most profound blessings from His life
of indulging his senses in all the power and riches of earth is seen in the knowledge of how it played a vital role to strengthen
Jesus Christ to resist temptations to sin. When Satan appeared before Jesus, after fasting for several weeks, while the pangs
of hunger and the allure of life’s comforts pressed Him, the devil tempted Him with the promise of the world’s
power and riches. What did Jesus have to help bring Him victory? “It is written,” found in the life of Solomon.
To paraphrase the Savior’s estimation of Satan’s offer: “You offer to Me everything that was given to GOD’S
servant, Solomon, when, at the end of his life, he determined it was of no value to the service of GOD nor of life itself.”
Christ then said, “Get thee behind Me, Satan…” In the end, what
we discover is that the course of Solomon’s life played an important role in the success of Jesus Christ as "the
Saviour" of men. This fulfills the great promise of Scripture: “The LORD thy GOD turned the curse into a blessing
unto thee, because the LORD thy GOD loved thee.” Deut.23:5. In these words GOD speaks that promise to all.

Commandment
Keepers invites every Christian to join the closing work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and establish twelve member groups
within your respective country, heralding the titles: Commandment Keepers Kenyan Assembly, British Assemby,
Brazilian Assembly, etc. As the Bible teaches, the redeemed of earth will come from "every nation, and kindred,
and tongue, and people." Rev.14:6. And all will have stood faithful to Christ's Words, "But if thou wilt
enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt.19:17. To meet the specific cultural
needs of the different peoples of the world, a custom tailored witness is vital for successful evangelism. While the
message of Salvation through the Creator/Christ is universal in its scope, people's cultural affections vary greatly from
land to land. What can bring tears of joy to one group can actually harden the hearts of another.
To receive this ministry outline click "The Evangelists" below. It contains all the materials needed to succeed
in this invaluable type of ministry. Two reasons for the need of small church
companies at this time in history: 1. There are six branch ministries, which cover all areas of the closing gospel
work, providing each member with an invaluable task. Teamed up in pairs for each of the branch ministries, none
will sit on the sidelines, feeling unuseful, and where each have equal value to the success of the ministry's
work. 2. Economic streamlining has become an essential factor in the closing work. As America
and other countries proceed in their place in Bible prophecy a structure of ministry must be in place to carry out
the Savior's closing work on the minds and hearts of the people just at the time it is needed the most. This efficient, low cost approach to the closing work will be lavished with
GOD'S blessing. Each of these small church companies will be given an eloquent, persuasive testimony
by GOD: to share in the most privileged work on Earth: enlightening the world with His Glory: His redeeming love found in
the "truth as it is in Jesus:" as Creator of heaven and earth; what He has done: as bearing the
punishment for the sins of men; and what He is doing: interceding on behalf of His faithful children who are continuously
accused of the devil; and what He will do: deliver His faithful children when He comes again.
Through His Presence, Guidance and Intervention, the faith of Bible literate and obedient Christians will swell
to a lofty summit, preparing them for the coming of the LORD. Lastly,
no tithe is required except to budget your ministry's needs.
