Your Foundation

Hello everyone,

Based on yesterday’s write-up, it is now clear why Jesus is our sin offering. Also, we now understand what we received from Jesus after He transformed our lives. But it is important to know the importance of what guides our lives. Jesus in Matthew 7:24-29 spoke on The House on the Rock and the house on the sand. His emphasis was on what we do after we hear His sayings, in other words, our foundation in life is determined by what we do with His words.

The house on the rock and the house on the sand faced the exact same thing; the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on both the house on the rock, and the house on the sand, but what makes the difference is the foundation. The house is a person’s life, his entire being, referring to the soul and the body, while the foundation is the spirit.

Jesus should be your foundation because the scriptures tell us that no other foundation can be laid by anyone other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is the rock where we are to build our house or life. The foundation determines your life; your health, wealth, success, prosperity, wisdom, knowledge, miracles, all come from the foundation.

The house is not built before the foundation, rather, the foundation is laid first before the house. The foundation you trust is that which you build your house upon. To say you want to build your house on the rock is to say you trust Jesus a hundred percent where your life is laid. On the other hand, not trusting Jesus is to build your house on the sand, and sand gives way, but the rock doesn’t.

Your house stands not because it can stand on its own, rather, your house is standing because the rock stands firm. The house follows whatever happens to the foundation, just as 1 John 4:17 says that as Jesus is so are we here on earth. Our house can only stand firm because Jesus stands firm as the rock that He is. Just as the foundation determines how firm a house would stand. This affects our physical life, as in Christ we have all things, whatever Christ is so are those who place their lives on Him. He determines whatever we become, as to build our house on the rock is to have complete trust in Jesus.

To get the best and perfect life is determined by where we place our life or whom we trust. And in Jesus our life is perfect.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
