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.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
