If The Foundations Be Destroyed, What Can The Righteous Do

2-Timothy_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

2-Timothy_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

“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
Psalm 11:3 (KJV)

The foundation is the structure that holds the rest of a building. Without the foundation, the walls, the doors, the windows, and the roof could never be put in place. The foundation is important even though it is often never seen; its strength influences a building’s ability to withstand the test of time.

You will be surprised by the number of believers who are trying to get things done without a foundation or without the right kind of foundation. Notice that in our text the Psalmist is saying that the righteous (the born again child of God, the body of Christ) cannot do much if the foundation is destroyed. To destroy suggests that the foundation was originally there but somewhere along the line it was lost. As believers what is our foundation? Upon what should we build anything we are involved in? My mind goes to John 1:1-3, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (KJV).

Therefore, the foundation of our faith is the word of God. Today, many are looking for shortcuts. They are looking for quick fixes. They want magic and not miracles. “what is the difference?” you may ask. Miracles are based on the word of God while magic is not. Miracles stand the test of time but magic does not. When it comes to magic, the more you look, the less you see; but when something is a miracle, it stands true and withstands the onslaught of the devil.

You must therefore re-examine your life and be honest with yourself. Are you involved in magic or miracles? Beloved, you must ensure that whatever you are involved in passes through the filter of God’s word. Then and only then will you be guaranteed that come what may, when the storm is over, you will still be standing.

My Sins, O The Peace Giving Thought

Psalms_107-1: O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever

Psalms_107-1: O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever

My Sins, O The Peace Giving Thought
Are Buried Beneath The Wild Wave,
Since God In His Mercy Has Brought
His Wonderful Power To Save.

Thou Wilt Cast All Their Sins Into
The Depths Of The Sea
‘Tis The Word Of Lord,
And Sufficient For Me,
Though The Billows May Roar
And May Break On The Shore,
They Are Lost In Its Depths,
And Can Reach Me No More, Of The
Place Where They’re Buried,
Only God Holds The Key,
In The Depths, The Depths Of The Sea.

No More Shall They Rise To Distress,
Or Trouble The Peace Of My Soul,
As Over Them In Power To Bless
God’s Waves Of Forgiveness Shall Roll

No Tempest Can Bring To The Light
The Sins He Hath Buried For Aye
My Soul Is Precious In His Sight,
And He Will Protect It Always.
Amen!

Thank You Jesus!

Once I Was Bound By Sin’s Galling Fetters
Chained Like A Slave I Struggled In Vain.
But I Received A Glorious Freedom
When Jesus Broke My Fetters In Twain,

Glorious Freedom, Wonderful Freedom
No More In Chains Of Sin Repine
Jesus The Glorious Emancipator
Now And For Ever He Shall Be Mine.

Freedom From All The Carnal Affections,
Freedom From Envy Hatred And Strive
Freedom From Vain And Worldly Ambitions
Freedom From All That Saddened My Life.

Freedom From Pride And All Sinful Follies
Freedom From Love And Glitter Of Gold
Freedom From Evil Temper And Anger
Glorious Freedom, Rapture Untold.

Freedom From Fear With All Of Its Torments
Freedom From Care With All Of Its Pain
Freedom In Christ My Blessed Redeemer
He Who Has Sent My Fetters In Twain.
Amen!

God Knows Me By My Name

God Knows Me By My Name

Hebrews_6-10: For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister, God Cares

“To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.”
John 10:3 (KJV)

When we find ourselves in a crowd it is easy to think that we are just a number. You may discount yourself because you think you haven’t amounted to anything and no one knows you. You feel lonely because you think you are lost in the crowd. Beloved, that is a lie from the pit of hell. The scripture says that Jesus knows you by name. Think about that for a moment. Of the billions of people around the world today, God knows you by name. You are not just somebody; He knows your first, middle, and last name. He knows your location. He knows every single detail about you. He does not get you mixed up with others. Even the most identical twins are distinct people before Him. When He calls, He does not call in general; instead, He calls out to you specifically.

Take a moment to think about that again. Among the almost seven billion people in the world today, the Lord knows you by name. The Lord that upholds all things by the word of His power knows you by name. Does that grab you? Does it not make you go to sleep knowing that everything about you is covered? Stop worrying about things, because He will take care of you.

If He diligently takes care of the birds of the air and the lilies of the field, how much more will He care of you, since you have been made in His image and likeness? If He takes care of the animals, why then do you think He would not take care of you, for whom Jesus died? Don’t let the devil mess with your mind and lie to you by telling you that God is too busy with more important things or people to think about you. That is a lie from the pit of hell. You are a significant individual to God. He loves you and cares about you.

So rest in His undying love.

God Watches Over Me Jealously

God Watches Over Me Jealously

Isaiah_41-10: Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness

Isaiah_41-10: Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness

“But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.”

John 10:12-13 (KJV)

The hireling flees, because he is a hireling and cares not for the sheep.

We live in a world that is self-centred. It seems as if everyone needs to find out how to survive on their own. There are many who are even willing to sacrifice others for their own survival. Notice that when your life is in the hands of a hireling, when troubles come he will abandon you. Why? It is because you don’t belong to him. He is a hireling. Whatever relationship he has with you is formed from the benefit he is getting from looking after you. But when trouble strikes, he will not risk himself for your sake.

This situation is like when you have a caregiver for your children; when disaster strikes, perhaps it is a fire or a flood, the caregiver will momentarily forget your child and think of saving his own life. It is a natural reflex. Even on a plane you are told repeatedly in the case of an emergency to first secure yourself with an oxygen mask before helping a child. But thank God your Good Shepherd, Jesus, knows you belong to Him. So He will never jump ship during the storms in your life.

He is not threatened by the storms of life. The challenges of life do not get to Him. He is with you every step of the way, and you are a priority to Him. He is committed to you, so He will bring you out of every storm. No matter what you are facing, fear not. Put your life in His hands in full confidence that He knows just what to do. You belong to Him, and He watches over you jealously.

Mark 4:35-41

Isaiah 56-58

2 Thessalonians 2

Thank You Jesus!

God Has Not Brought Me This Far To Abandon Me. He Will Perfect His Work In My Life To His Glory Alone, Amen!

Deuteronomy_31-6: Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Deuteronomy_31-6: Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ”. Philippians 1:6 (KJV)

As this new year progresses, I am very confident that the work that the Lord has spoken concerning you will come to pass. There are no “ifs” about it in my spirit. I know in whom I believe and I am fully persuaded of that which He is set to do in your life.

Paul the Apostle, while writing to the church in Philippi, aptly said it in the scripture above; I am confident of the good work the Lord has started in you, and I know He will perfect it. I don’t know what area of your life you need the intervention of God in, but I know that whatever area it might be, God is not only able, He is also willing, and He will surely settle you. God is not a man to lie nor the son of man to repent. His word is so good, it is bankable, because it cannot fail.

Beloved, God’s mind is full of you. He delights in your prosperity. He wants to see you happy and excited, testifying about the faithfulness of God. So don’t allow the situations of the past to keep you bent, cowed, or in despair. Tell yourself that God is working it out and you will see everything turn around for your good.

Beloved, no matter what you are going through, I am confident that God will come through for you. He has not brought you this far to abandon you. He will perfect His work in your life to His glory alone.

Philippians 1:1-6

Psalms_55-22: Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

I Remember When My Burdens Rolled Away
I Had Carried Them For Years,
Night And Day!
When I Sought The Blessed Lord,
And I Took Him At His Word,
Then At Once All My Burdens Rolled Away.

Rolled Away, Rolled Away, I Am Happy Since My Burdens Rolled Away;
Rolled Away, Rolled Away; I Am Happy Since My Burdens Rolled Away.

I Remember When My Burdens Rolled Away,
That I Feared Would Never Leave Night Or Day;
Jesus Showed To Me The Loss,
So I Left Them At The Cross;
I Was Glad When My Burdens Rolled Away.

I Remember When My Burdens Rolled Away,
That Had Hindered Me For Years, Night And Day;
As I Sought The Throne Of Grace,
Just A Glimpse Of Jesus’ Face,
And I Knew That My Burdens Could Not Stay.

I Am Singing Since My Burdens Rolled Away,
There’s A Song Within My Heart Night And Day;
I Am Living For My King, And With Joy I Shout And Sing,
Hallelujah! All My Burdens Rolled Away.
Amen!

Thank You Jesus!

Romans_6-14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

 

Once I Fought To Conquer Sin
While It Reigned My Soul Within;
Till My Saviour Came One Day:
Then He Triumphed Over All
When He Heard My Pleading
Call
And He Took My Sins Away,

He Took My Sins Away,
Took Them All Away
Christ The Saviour Took My Sins Away
Contentment Fills My Soul
His Spirit Has Control,
Since Jesus Took My Sins Away.

O The Wonder Working Pow’r
In That Happy, Blessed Hour
When My Saviour Spoke To Me,
Arid I Heard The Precious Word
From This Wonder Working
Lord,
When From Sin He Set Me Free.

Are You Struggling For The Right,
Jesus Has The Power And Might;
He Will Help You Conquer Sin;
He Will Take Its Power Away,
He Will Come With You To Stay,
And Will Give You Peace Within.
Amen!

Thank You Jesus!

I Was Sinking Deep In Sin
Sinking To Rise No More,
Overwhelmed By Guilt Within,
Mercy I Did Implore,
Then The Master Of The Sea
Heard My Desparing Cry,
Christ My Saviour Lifted Me, Now Safe Am I

Love Lifted Me!. Love Lifted Me!
When No One But Christ Could Help,
Love Lifted Me!

Souls In Danger, Look Above,
Jesus Completely Saves
He Will Lift You By His Love
Out Of The Angry Waves.
He’s The Master Of The Sea,
Billows His Will Obey;
He Your Saviour Wants To He,
Be Saved Today!

When The Waves Of Sorrow Roll,
When I Am In Distress.
Jesus Takes My Hand In His,
Ever He Loves To Bless.
He Will Every Fear Dispel,
Satisfy Every Need;
All Who Heed His Loving Call,
Find Rest Indeed.
Amen!
