The Solomon Wealth Formula is a revelation The Lord gave me while I was studying for my Sunday school lesson. I wanted to share some type of inspiration with my students that would motivate them to do something different in the New Year that they had never done before. I wanted them to actually look at their lives and ask themselves, Am I really living the abundant life God said I could live? If they answered no to that question, I would ask them why not? Have you buried your talent, have you dismissed your gift God has given you? While searching my spirit and the word of God for the answer and or a solution I could share with them the Lord dropped in my spirit Solomon. The scripture that came to mind was 1 Kings 4:34 which reads "And there came of all people to hear the Wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom."

To my surprise in 1 Kings 4 the Lord showed me exactly what Solomon did to create his wealth, how he did and how I could apply it to my life.
