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.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
