THE SURE FOUNDATION (1)

Every time I am opportune to talk about Jesus and His faithfulness, I am always over joyous and extremely excited because of the confidence I have developed in Him. This makes me to boldly declare Him, HE IS THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IN YOUR HEART.

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of MINE and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man who built his house on the rock” Matthew 7v24

In this expository I will be focusing on Matthew 7v24-27. But starting with the first part that is quoted above, the Bible makes it clear that whoever hears God’s Word and acts on them is likened unto a wise man who finds a rocky ground to build upon.

Firstly, I will like to say that the strength of any building or house lies in its foundation. That is why more time, money, strength is spent in building the foundation for any house. In other words I will conclude that the real beauty of any house as well as its potency lies in its foundation. The illustration of the house builder is a very wise one to be used when it comes to explaining the joy of building our trust in Jesus the SURE FOUNDATION which determines our beauty, strength, joy and satisfaction in life.

The Bible makes it clear that faith comes through hearing and hearing, the Word of God, Romans 10v17. Hence it is not enough to hear the Word but to go ahead and act on those Word you have heard. Build your life with them. The Word is only effective when they are acted upon, not written as hamlets but in your heart. You are equal to the total amount of Word you have inside you in other words, your knowledge of the Word determines your prospect in the kingdom. Little wonder Jesus call such people the wise because it is God’s word that gives worth to your life.

Going down our text, in the twenty-fifth verse of that same chapter, it describes the strength of any house built on the rock; it goes ahead to say that even when the rain descends, the floods  come and the winds blows and beat on that house, the house built on the rock will remain standing. Note, He didn’t say the wind, rain, flood etc may come but will definitely come but because the foundation of that life (house) is in the word of God, the House will remain standing, Isaiah 43v2.

Tomorrow I will expatiate on this subject. God bless you.
