"... Then there was peace between Hiram and Solomon ..." (1 Kings 5:12)
Effective Cooperation - Humans are social creatures who need other people because he can not live alone. They live help each other, work together, mutual understanding and mutual respect to achieve common goals. In the reign of King Solomon, when the land of Israel is secure, that he intends to build the house of the Lord as the promise of God to David his father. Solomon does not work alone, he stepped to the wisdom of God:
Partnering righteous (verses 2-8). Solomon partnered with Hiram friend of his father who has a lot of carpenters. Hiram was instrumental in providing much-needed building materials. Solomon invitation with a message full of wisdom Hiram greeted with joy and praise the Lord (verse 7), and he gave a response (paragraph 8).
Building partnerships correctly (verses 9-12). When Hiram called for Solomon to provide food for the rest of his palace, Solomon hits (verses 13-18). Thus creating peace among those in the full sense of friendship.
Measured with proper implementation (verses 13-18). All strategies and management are arranged neatly and carefully executed. Thus tribute, stonecutters, and foremen who supervised the people in the task, can be maximized synergistic cooperation, regular and measurable.
To achieve common goals that God's heart as exemplary Solomon needed wisdom to choose the right team with professional working rhythm. If all the teams occupy portions of each, then peace will be realized. Everything will be tested by time in the sovereignty of God.
Motivation: Let us begin gradually, from the most modest teams, namely household, office, church congregations, fellowship and the wider community to create prosperity together. Wisdom is always available for His children who rely fully on God.
