NO FOUNDATION WITHOUT THE WORD


Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock (Luke 6:47-48).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.


Some Christians ignore the Word when they’re experiencing challenging situations. For example, if they have a difficulty and you try to get their minds or point their attention to the Word, they’d say, “I know that’s what the Word says, but….” They’re indirectly telling you to set the Word aside; they want another solution.


By doing this, they're rejecting and resisting help from God. The Holy Spirit won’t do anything without the Word. Everything that happens without the Word of God has no foundation; it'll fail. Remember what the Lord Jesus said in our opening scripture above. He gave a parable about the man who built his house on sand and the one who built his house on the rock. When the crisis of life came, the house built on sand fell, but the one built on the rock remained unshakable.


Then He explained that the one who built his house on the rock is the one who built on the Word, who made the Word His foundation. When you build your life on the Word, it blossoms; you’re impregnable to the crises of life. You’re always victorious and in dominion, come what may. But without the Word, whatever you have is empty.


Even in ministry, don’t build your ministry on some gifts or manifestations of the Spirit; build on the Word. Let the Word be the focus, the stay, and the anchor. Preach the Word. Believe the Word. Teach the Word and live the Word. Let your life and your message be founded on Truth, the Word is truth (John 17:17).


Moreover, when we say build on the Word, we’re not just referring to an isolated verse of scripture but to the “logos” (Greek) of God, the whole body of truth, the revelation of Jesus Christ in the Scriptures through the Gospel. We’re referring to that which is consistent with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who He is and what He came to do, His mission. Make that the foundation of your life.


PRAYER 


Dear Father, I live in and by your Word. Therefore, I’m unshakable, steadfast, and always victorious because my life is established on your truth; it’s my foundation and anchor and has pre-eminence in all I do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.


FURTHER STUDY


Colossians 2:6-7; As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.


Matthew 7:24-25; Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.


Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
