When you build your house, you have to make sure that your foundation is strong such that if a strong wind comes or heavy rains come, your foundation will be able to keep your house intact. Without a strong foundation, your house can crumble down. In the same way, your life has to be built upon a foundation, and this foundation should be strong so that when you face adversities, you will be able to stand. Only a wise person will make Jesus Christ his or her foundation. When you make Jesus Christ your foundation, your life is secure with Him and He will protect you from any evil that may try to destroy your life. You can boldly declare Psalm 23:4 “Even though l walk through the valley of the shadow of death, l will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff they comfort me,” because you know where you stand. Many people who claim to be Christians have not taken time to study who Jesus Christ really is. Even though they call themselves Christians, Jesus Christ does not at all identify with them and they are actually a misrepresentation of Jesus Christ. Such people identify more with the names of their denominations rather than with the LORD Jesus Christ. Their lives are not founded on the Rock, Jesus Christ Who is the corner stone. Many have not really been introduced to the Person of Jesus Christ. There are a lot of people who became Christians by virtue of being born and raised by parents who are members of a particular Christian denomination. While it is good to be a member of a Christian denomination, it is vitally important for you to be a true member of the living body of Christ. To be a true member of the living body of Christ also means that you are full of His Spirit. Without His Holy Spirit, you are just practicing empty and dead religion which will not give you any place in God’s kingdom. Romans 8:9 says, “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” Being a member of a denomination without the Holy Spirit in you will not at all do you any good at all as you will not be known by the LORD Jesus Christ. Luke 13:26-27 the LORD Jesus Christ confirms this when He says, “…. Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ But He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.” Your foundation will only be strong when you really get to know Jesus Christ through serious study of His Word and do what the Word says. Get to know Jesus Christ from today and get filled with the Holy Spirit and also be involved in the work of God through a true Ministry of God in your area and you will have a strong foundation. Then you will be able to sing the song titled, “On Christ the solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.” Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, l pray that my foundation be upon You so that l will not be shaken. I ask that l always be on Your side for all other ground will make me fall. Thank You for being my firm foundation. In Jesus Christ’s name l pray. Amen.
