THE FOUNDATION MATTERS

-

Proverbs 12:1-3

To learn, you must love discipline; it is stupid to hate correction.

The LORD approves of those who are good, but he condemns those who plan wickedness.

Wickedness never brings stability, but the godly have deep roots.


The key to grow, develop and remain in wisdom is to love discipline.


See, a child that has not been brought up in discipline will be attracted to the wrongs things, if they have fear it will be an unhealthy one for they have not been taught true restrain.


Any society that promotes the false sense of liberty where discipline is expunged is building a generation of anarchy.


Proverbs 13:24

Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.


It begins from the roots then eats into the society.


We have a community that praises people who kill, steal, loot, create gangs/touts, pervert justice and do all sorts of frivolous things - giving excuses for them. They then cry and wail that they are suffering.


The truth is that you reap what you sow - the scriptures is very clear:


Proverbs 29:2

When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. 

But when the wicked are in power, they groan.


What do you expect when people who have questionable characters rule you. When people who have cases of wrong doings to account for are the ones who make your laws. It is a pending disaster!


It is true that the Lord is the one that lifts up one and brings down another. However He will not force anyone to lead a people. For when He did in time past they will say "this woman you gave me", " this king you set over us", etc


Listen to what God said through Hosea:


Hosea 8:4

The people have appointed kings without my consent, and princes without my approval. 

By making idols for themselves from their silver and gold, they have brought about their own destruction.


A society where people can be bought with money to vote in evil people to reign, how then can we go back to pray asking God to give us Good leaders: Who is fooling who?


A society where money is the respected word. People close their eyes to evil instead they mock those who do good. The truth is rejected instead things like racism, tribalism, religious bigotry, hypocrisy and other forms of sentiments are projected.


Do not walk in the path of unrighteous and expect the Righteous God to walk with you. Stop the disrespect.


You backstab others and you feel you will go scot-free, No you won't!


Ecclesiastes 10:8

When you dig a well, you might fall in. 

When you demolish an old wall, you could be bitten by a snake.


Think, think, think how long do we continue in this foolery, how long do we think the foundation will hold when it is built with the wrong materials - when do we stop deceiving ourselves?


Luke 6:48-49

It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built.

But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”


God has already helped us, it is only that some have rejected Him to chose hypocrisy and deceit.


Deliver us O Lord.


Have mercy on us.


You call Your children blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
