Matt 7:24,26
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
the winds being spoken about are the challenges we face. Now this man heard the word of Jesus and said, “I’m going to put
Jesus did not say wow! But rather he said that the man is building. Now when the floods come, the house was not moved, why? Because it was founded on the rock.
When you become a Christian, a measure of faith was imparted into your spirit. So every Christian has faith. The measure of the life we live is the measure of righteousness that works from one level of faith to another. We have levels of headache, levels of cancer, and levels of little money and that of huge amount of money. We should know that faith is the currency that we present to God, with it you can receive or get anything that you want.
Have discussions of faith. Know that you can build anything upon the rock and it’s up to you because everything you believe in today will be tested tomorrow, weather your faith is faith or it’s fake! Refuse to borrow while you build your life, build it through the word of God. Remember that God looks at a giver. Giving is a character so when you develop it, in any situation, it will show. God releases your blessing when you need it at the right time.
We must learn to collaborate with others. If somebody disappoints you, don’t worry because there are others who are there for you. Base your relations on the word and not feelings because feelings come and go.
Acts 20:32
New International Version (NIV)
32 “Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
The word of God is the material you use for your life structure. To build your life, you need to;
- Be a man/woman that is giving to the study of the word. You need to know what the word says concerning your life or that particular situation you are in.
- Now that you know the word, it then takes you to meditation. You can build on the word and act on it, when you make demands onto God know that he hears you because you are a doer.
Rev 21:8
King James Version (KJV)
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
As a Christian, you must not lie. The scripture warns us that there is no small lie, all liars shall find themselves in the lake of fire….no excuse! Don’t show a deceptive light towards others. Be the shining light that you are.
