    SECRETS OF THE RICHEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED  7

    1
    SOLOMON DECIDED TO DO
    SOMETHING THAT HAD

    BEFORE
    
    NEVER BEEN DONE

    Solomon Was An Uncommon Achiever.


    Uncommon Achievers are different.
    In a doubting world, they believe.
    In a slow world, they run.
    In a weeping world, they laugh.
    In a quitting world, they persevere.
    Solomon is one of the most famous names in
    history. He wrote songs and collected proverbs. Kings
    begged for an appointment with him. He was brilliant,
    articulate and yet, very human.
    He was the richest man who ever lived.
    Solomon experienced tragic failures in his
    personal life, yet he rose to such prominence that even
    Jesus mentioned him thousands of years later in
    Matthew 6:29 and Matthew 12:42.
    He was not a perfect man, but he was a productive
    man.
    We are fascinated by his life. He experienced the
    magnetism of evil and fell into the web of immorality.
    He knew great gain and great loss.
    8  MIKE MURDOCK

    He lived an incredibly full life.


    He was wise. When God Himself permitted a
    temple to be built in His honor, He chose Solomon to
    oversee the work—and no one has produced its equal
    in the history of mankind.
    How wealthy was Solomon?
    Consider this.
    In 1929, the Illinois Society of Architects did an
    extensive and meticulous study of the temple built by
    Solomon. Though the research was done almost
    seventy years ago, the experts placed its valued at $87
    billion. When you figure in a 7 percent inflation rate
    per year, that places the value of the temple alone
    worth more than $500 billion. My friend Malcolm
    Burton has said that this amount is four times more
    than our nation spends on military defense each year.
    And that is just the beginning. It does not include
    Solomon’s palace, his real estate holdings, and other
    valuable possessions too numerous to mention!
    Think about it.
    Today, the temple alone would be valued at more
    than $500 billion.
    Now, think again.
    What an uncommon achievement.
    Have you ever stopped to consider the difference
    between $1 million and $1 billion? It has been said that
    a stack of $1,000 bills totaling $1 million would be 12
    inches high. But, a stack of $1,000 bills totaling $l
    billion would be taller than the Empire State Building!
    That, my friend, is wealth.
    Solomon’s personal palace took almost twice as
    long to build, and is said to be equal in majesty and
    splendor. Is it possible even to imagine such wealth?
    SECRETS OF THE RICHEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED  9

    Solomon’s life also included failure. What life has


    not? Scarred generals have a lot to teach naive soldiers.
    Any uncommon life is worth scrutiny.
    Uncommon leaders are worth knowing.
    Uncommon kings are worth studying.
    Uncommon dreamers are worthy of pursuit.
    Solomon was a dreamer. An effective dreamer. An
    unforgettable dreamer. An influential dreamer.
    And, many dreamers are hurting inside these
    days.
    Dreamers are often misunderstood.
    Dreamers provide jobs and income for those who
    refuse to dream. They stretch the imagination of
    everyone around them. They thrust average people into
    the “zone of greatness.” Yet they are often called money
    hungry, materialistic and greedy.
    What really was the secret of the greatness of
    Solomon and his unequaled attainments? His
    obsession for Wisdom.
    The answer is quite simple. Solomon’s academic
    achievements have not been traced to an unusual
    genius. In fact, the opposite is true. In his dream, his
    inferiority rose like a monument. He knew how limited
    he really was within his own power. In 1 Kings 3:7, 9,
    we read the description of a man overwhelmed, “I am
    but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.
    Give therefore Thy servant an understanding heart to
    judge Thy people, that I may discern between good and
    bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?”
    Solomon pursued Wisdom continuously. In Eccle-
    siastes 1:13, he says, “And I gave my heart to seek and
    search out by wisdom concerning all things that are
    done under heaven.”
    10  MIKE MURDOCK

    Solomon mastered the “Principles of


    Achievement.” He was much more than a dreamer. Yet
    he created a collection of monuments every uncommon
    dreamer should study and absorb. He completed his
    dreams and no one has yet equalled his achievements.
    Your dream, too, is obtainable.
    Your dream is closer than you can imagine.
    Your dream, too, is necessary and essential.
    Wake up. It is your turn to do something
    significant with your life, which is slipping between
    your fingers every hour and every minute of every day.
    I hope this dawns on you like the bursting of a million
    suns. I pray that it hits you hard.
    When Solomon fueled the desire to build the
    temple, God became involved. Instructions were given,
    respected and followed.
    No expense was spared.
    It was meticulous and detailed.
    Solomon decided to do something that had never
    been done before.
    That is one of the Golden Secrets that helped him
    become The Richest Man Who Ever Lived.
