The Rain, the Flood, and the Wind

 Hi everyone,

When Jesus spoke on the house on the rock and the house on the sand, He said for the house on the rock in Matthew 7:24, “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them…” Then to the house on the sand, He said in Matthew 7:26, “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them…” The point here is that the one who heard the sayings of Jesus and did them was the one who built his house on the rock, while the one who heard the sayings of Jesus and didn’t do them is the one who built his house on the sand. Where am I going with this?

Both the house on the rock and on the sand had rain, flood, and winds beat on the houses. My point here is that no matter who you are, the devil would attack, as he is symbolised by the rain, flood, and wind.

Jesus called the man who did what He said a wise man who built his house on the rock, while Jesus called the man who didn’t do what Jesus said a foolish man who built his house on the sand. Jesus has proven to be our protector and true life, it would only be foolish not to abide in Him, for the devil roams about seeking whom he may devour.

The devil brings temptations here and there, he brings troubles, he does everything to shake us away from Christ. But it is only those who are on the rock who is Christ Jesus that will stand firm. Do not be afraid or dismayed with whatever circumstances that come your way. As long as you are fixed in Christ the rock, the devil cannot touch your life, because it belongs to God.

Keep on confessing and meditating on the word of God, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you. It is by doing this that you receive boldness to resist the devil, and he will flee, (ref.: James 4:7), because you did not come with the authority of man, but you came with the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The devil can deceive you by bringing negative symptoms to your body, but resist the devil using the word of God as Jesus did. But even if you fall, do not forget the Son or Daughter of who you are, (ref.: Proverbs 24:16). Remember, the devil is already a defeated foe, all you have to do is to maintain your ground by standing on the rock who is Jesus, constantly meditating on His word day and night, in order to block out all appearances of evil. You will stand firm no matter what the devil throws at you, (ref.: Nahum 1:9).

We are in a battle, people, and the children of God are the most hit, so guard up yourselves for the days we are in are evil.

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!
