CHECK YOUR FOUNDATION?

Text: 2Timothy 2:19

 *Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.* 

 *Are you sure you are standing on God's foundation? It is very important that you are certain of what you are standing on.* 

Foundation talks about the beginning of a thing, the underneath structure upon which the main structure sits on, the fundamental truth that supports the whole body or system of an entity. 

Paul, talking about a foundation that is sure implies that there are many other foundations that are not sure. In fact, no other foundation is sure except God's. It is therefore very important that you are very sure of the foundation you are standing or building on. 

Basically, everyone on the globe is certainly building on a foundation. The only clarification that needs to be made is: What type of foundation am I building upon-Sandy or Rocky Foundation? . Jesus however did not mince word about this clarification. He said:

 _Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: Matthew 7:24 & 26_ 

From the above, Jesus mentioned the following:

 *House* : You are the very house. All that you are doing with your life is a building. Be careful how you live, for you are building a house by the way you live.

 *Rock:* This talks about the foundation you are building on. When you daily walk in obedience to Christ's sayings, you are building (living) on the rock. Hence, you will be unshakable and immovable. 

 *Sand:* This also talks about the foundation you are building on. When you constantly walk in disobedience to Christ's sayings, you are building (living) on the sand. Hence, you will be shakable and movable. Anyone walking contrary to the commands of Christ is not building his life on a rocky foundation.

 *The Wise & the Foolish:* What qdetermines wether you are wise or foolish is not the house but the foundation that you are building on. For it is the foundation that supports the house and not the other way round. So, *If you are truly standing on Jesus, you will certainly keep His sayings and when you continue to keep His sayings: you are a wise person.* Jesus is the rock. He is the Truth and He is the sure foundation. 

 _For other *foundation* can no man lay than that is laid, which *is Jesus Christ* ._ 1 Corinthians 3:11 

 **Anyone who is not obeying (doing) the sayings of Jesus, no matter his title, position or claims of that one such is building only on a Sandy foundation* .

 *Don't be deceived God's foundation (TRUTH) is FOREVER Certain and Sure.* 

Bible Reading : Mathew 7:22-27.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
