The Lord appeared to Solomon and assured Him that his work on the temple and its dedication pleased Him (v. 11-12) (details are given on the actual construction in I Kings 7:1-12). Obedience was the key to God’s Blessing. God encouraged Solomon by His promise that if His judgment (by drought, locusts, or a plague) should fall on the nation for their sin, they need only turn in sincere humility and repentance to the Lord (vv. 13-22). Then they would have forgiveness and restoration (v.13-15).
This promise given, in answer to Solomon’s prayer (6:26-31) was because God’s presence among His people Israel is eternal. (v.16). The covenant promise comes through clearly in the Lord’s declaration that if Solomon would obey Him (v.17) he could be assured of God’s blessing (v. 18). Conversely, if Solomon and the nation should fall away from the Lord and serve other gods they would be exiled and the temple destroyed (v:19-20).

If all Christians were like me what would be the possibility of revival. What kind of an example of humility and prayer have I been? When was the last time I sincerely humbled myself and prayed? What happened?
