TOPIC โœจ CHRISTโ€”THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE โœจ
..The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lordโ€™s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? (Matthew 21:42).

We learnt, in our previous study, one of the clearest truths in Scripture: The Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Church. This is not an idea or a mere concept. In Matthew 21:42, He identified Himself as the stone spoken of in prophecy, the One rejected by the builders yet chosen by God to become the head of the corner.

The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, also stated this plainly in 1 Corinthians 3:11, โ€œFor other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.โ€ That settles it. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only true foundation. No other foundation can be laid.

This aligns perfectly with the prophecy of Isaiah: โ€œTherefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundationโ€ฆโ€ (Isaiah 28:16). God was speaking here about a Personโ€”Christ Jesus, who also quoted the same prophetic words in Psalm 118:22, when He said, โ€œโ€ฆDid ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?โ€ (Matthew 21:42).

The rejection of Christ didnโ€™t cancel Godโ€™s plan. It fulfilled it. The One they refused became the cornerstone of Godโ€™s eternal structure. In Acts chapter 4, the apostles proclaimed this truth boldly and made it unmistakable: โ€œThis is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the cornerโ€ (Acts 4:11).

This is why the โ€œrockโ€ Jesus spoke of in Matthew 16 is not a revelation, and itโ€™s not Peter. The Scriptures consistently identify Christ as the Rock, the Stone, the Foundation, and the Chief cornerstone. Paul further confirms this in Ephesians 2:20 when he said by the Spirit that we โ€œ...are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.โ€

The stability of the Church is Christ, and those who believe in Him are founded on the Rock, immovable and victorious forever! This is the glory of the Gospel. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

Iโ€™m founded on Christ, the Sure Foundation and Chief Cornerstone of the Church. My faith is anchored on Him alone and my life is built on His unshakable truths. I walk in stability, confidence and victory because I am founded on the Rock, Christ Jesus. Amen!

FURTHER STUDY

1 Peter 2:6-8 NKJV

Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame." [7] Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone," [8] and "A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense." They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.

Isaiah 8:14 KJV

And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Psalm 118:22-23 KJV

The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. [23] This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

TOPIC โœจ THE CHURCH IS BUILT ON CHRIST โœจ

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, THAT THOU ART PETER, AND UPON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCHโ€ฆโ€ (Matthew 16:16-18).

Over the years, many have grossly misunderstood the underlined portion of the scripture above. Some have assumed the โ€œrockโ€ was the revelation Peter gave when he said Jesus was the Christ. Others have even assumed the โ€œrockโ€ was Peter himself. But neither of these is true.

The Lord Jesus was speaking about a Person when He said, โ€œUpon this rockโ€; He was referring to Himselfโ€”Christ! In Greek, the distinction becomes even clearer. The Lord Jesus called Peter โ€œPetrus,โ€ meaning a stone, but He referred to the foundation as โ€œPetra,โ€ meaning a rock, a founding stone.

The Lord is that rock. He wasnโ€™t saying, โ€œUpon this โ€˜Petrusโ€™ I will build my Churchโ€ but โ€œUpon this โ€˜Petra,โ€™โ€ which is Christ the Rock, a foundation, a sure cornerstone: โ€œ...Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation...โ€ (Isaiah 28:16). Christ had already been known in prophetic writings as the Rock.

So, when Peter said, โ€œThou art the Christ,โ€ he was declaring that the Lord Jesus was the promised foundation. He was the one spoken of as the sure cornerstone. And the Master responded by revealing the prophetic reality: the Church would be built upon Christ, the Rock, and nothing from hell could prevail against it.

This connects with the prophetic vision in Daniel. Daniel spoke of the stone cut out without hands that struck the image at its feet of iron and clay, and the whole structure collapsed (Daniel 2:34-35). That stone became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

The interpretation was clear: โ€œThen was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earthโ€ (Daniel 2:35). That's the mountain of the Lord's house.

The stone is Christ, and that mountain is His everlasting dominion. The Church is built on Christ, and because the Church stands firm on Him, the g*tes of hell cannot prevail against it. This is the certainty of our faith. Christ is our Rock; weโ€™re established on Him forever.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the light of your Word and the certainty of the truth revealed in Christ. My faith is established on Christ, the Rock, and the Gospel prevails in every nation, and the righteousness of Christ is established in the hearts of men, in Jesusโ€™ Name. Amen.

1 Corinthians 3:11 KJV

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:19-22 KJV

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; [20] And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; [21] In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: [22] In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

1 Peter 2:4-6 KJV

To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, [5] Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. [6] Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

```From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day``` *(Matthew 16:21).*

Pastor Chris Says
โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•
Matthew 16 reveals an important moment between the Lord Jesus and His disciples. After they had been preaching and declaring Him the Christ, the Master began to focus inward, revealing what was to come. He instructed His disciples to keep His identity secret for the time being.

Soon after, He explained that He must go to Jerusalem, suffer many things, be killed, and then raised back to life. Upon hearing all that, Peter did something unbelievable. The Bible says he took the Lord aside _*โ€œโ€ฆand began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto theeโ€*_ (Matthew 16:22).

Think about that; Peter rebuking the Master. The Lord knew it was Satan who spoke through Peter and addressed Satan directly, saying, _*โ€œโ€ฆGet thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of menโ€*_ (Matthew 16:23).

Peter, on that occasion, must have been startled, because he wasnโ€™t aware it was the devil who put those words in his mouth. It matters who youโ€™re speaking for. Only give vent to the things that be of God. Never lend your voice in support of Satan.

Itโ€™s the reason knowing the Word and having it renew your mind is so important. Let the Word of God dwell in you richly (Colossians 3:16). The knowledge of Godโ€™s Word makes you discerning; youโ€™re able to judge good from evil and prove (allow) the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2). With the light of Godโ€™s Word, youโ€™re able to judge whatโ€™s coming from you, whatโ€™s coming from Satan or whatโ€™s coming from God.

*PRAYER*

_Dear Father, thank you for your Word that gives me understanding and discernment. My heart is established in your truth, and I recognise every thought, voice and influence that is not from you. My knowledge of your Word guides me, and I speak in alignment with your will at all times. I walk in victory, and I live conscious of who I am in Christ. Hallelujah!_

* 20TH MAY 2026

I am what God says I am. I accept and walk in the light of His Word concerning my life. Iโ€™ve overcome the world because the greater One lives in me; He causes me to triumph everywhere and be fruitful in all I do. In Christ dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, and Iโ€™m complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. I live the transcendent life in Christ, stable, unmoveable, and established in the faith as I walk continually in the light of the Word.

I am Godโ€™s building, and the Word of God is building me up spiritually, physically, financially, and emotionally. I can never be at the same spot; come tomorrow the glory of God in my life is increased. Iโ€™ll always be a success, soaring high even in hard times. No matter what happens around the nations of the world, I am built strong by the Word. I am in Godโ€™s perfect place for my life, and I am making continuous progress daily. Hallelujah!

The Word of God is living and active, penetrating my whole being, vitalizing every part of my body and inundating me with strength. I function from the realm of the supernatural, and I am not susceptible to any affliction or infirmity. When men are cast down by sickness or pandemics, I declare that there is lifting, and I lift people everywhere to the level of the God-kind of faith. I live in the fullness of Christ now and always.

Jesus died, was buried, and rose in victory for my justification. He died that I may no longer die, be sick, or be in pain. Therefore, I live a glorious life today and always. I affirm that Christ is manifested in my body and in my spirit. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from death and the law of sin. I walk in divine health, strength, and wholeness every day.

I have all I require to produce supernatural financial results. I am fully furnished to shine forth Godโ€™s glory. I make progress and prosper without ceasing. Good things and too much money are naturally attracted to me because I am the blessed one of the Lord. Godโ€™s grace has lifted me and caused me to stand before kings. Financial doors are open for me and the right people are set up on my path of success.

I am like a tree planted by the riverside, for I flourish in every season. I am highly fruitful and productive, my financial sources never run dry. I have multiple sources of income. I am wealthy and established. God directs me to places of plenty, and I live in a realm of more than enough. He reveals to me the hidden treasures of secret places. I prosper in all things in Jesusโ€™ name. Amen.

TOPIC โœจ CUT OFF SATANIC INFLUENCESโœจ

And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus (Acts 13:6).

Acts 13 gives us a clear picture of how Satan tries to resist the Gospel, especially when itโ€™s about to reach those in positions of leadership. An example is seen in Acts 13:6 when Saul (Paul) and Barnabas went through the Isle of Paphos, preaching the Gospel. The proconsul, Sergius Paulus, whom the Bible describes as โ€œa prudent man,โ€ desired to hear the Word of God and sent for Barnabas and Saul (Acts 13:7). He wanted to know more about Jesus Christ.

But there was someone closely associated with him who wouldnโ€™t let that happen; Acts 13:6-8 the Amplified Classic version reveals it: โ€œWhen they had passed through the entire island of Cyprus as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain Jewish wizard or sorcerer, a false prophet named Bar-Jesus. He was closely associated with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent and sensible man of sound understanding; he summoned to him Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the Word of God [concerning salvation in the kingdom of God attained through Christ]. But Elymas the wise man--for that is the translation of his name [which he had given himself]--opposed them, seeking to keep the proconsul from accepting the faith.โ€ He resisted and tried to stop the leader from receiving the Word.

Then the Bible says, โ€œโ€ฆSaul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, and said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lordโ€ (Acts 13:9-10)? Paul wasnโ€™t speaking by suspicion or emotion; he spoke by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He called him who he truly was: a child of the devil, an enemy of all righteousness.

Many world leaders have such people around them who distract them from the truth and keep them from hearing the Word of God. This is why we take our stand in prayer to cut off such influences from the leaders of nations. Every so often, in praying for the leaders of nations, governments and institutions of this world, declare that the counsels of the โ€œElymasesโ€ of this world are frustrated and silenced; cut off their influence from the leaders. Pray that all around the world, the hearts of presidents, kings, governors, lawmakers, and decision-makers are open to hear and receive the Word of God and the Gospel is producing results in their lives.

Pray also that the Spirit grants them discernment to recognise deception, and that righteous influences surround them, creating access for the Gospel to be preached, received freely, and spread rapidly all around the world. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

The Word of God prevails in the hearts of leaders and decision makers across the nations today. Every satanic influence to resist the Gospel and turn them away from the truth is cut off by the power of the Holy Spirit. Godโ€™s wisdom and righteousness dominate the nations, and His truth is established without resistance, in Jesusโ€™ Name. Amen.

1 Timothy 2:1-4 KJV

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; [2] For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. [3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; [4] Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Acts 13:6-12 NIV

They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, [7] who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. [8] But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. [9] Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, [10] โ€œYou are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? [11] Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.โ€ Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. [12] When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.

TOPIC โœจ SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT IN LEADERSHIP โœจ

And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom (2 Samuel 16:23).

Scripture repeatedly warns us about the danger of bad counsel. The Bible reveals this in the story of Ahithophel, a man whose counsel carried such weight that it was regarded as though one had inquired at the oracle of God (2 Samuel 16:23).

He was esteemed, trusted and relied upon, not only by David but later also by Absalom. Yet, despite his reputation, he became a part of an evil conspiracy. When Absalom rebelled against his father, David, the conspiracy gained strength, and the people increased continually with Absalom (2 Samuel 15:12). In the midst of that uprising, Ahithophel joined himself to Absalom.

Then the report reached David: โ€œ...Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom...โ€ (2 Samuel 15:31). The presence of Ahithophel in Absalomโ€™s camp meant strategic advantage, because his counsel was powerful, persuasive and influential. But David didnโ€™t panic or try to outmanoeuvre Ahithophel by human strategy. He simply prayed, โ€œ...O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishnessโ€ (2 Samuel 15:31).

That prayer reveals a vital truth: no matter how intelligent a counsel appears, if itโ€™s aligned against Godโ€™s purpose, it can be defeated. This is why discernment is essential for leaders. Not every voice around leaders is sent to help. Some counsellors present themselves as wise, but their intent is to mislead, divide and destroy.

They push out the good, speak against the righteous, and attempt to plant ideas that weaken what God is building. But theyโ€™re not beyond the reach of divine judgment. The Lord can expose them, silence them and turn their wisdom into foolishness.

As Christians, we must understand and take advantage of our authority in Christ to affect nations and their leaders, families and destinies. Therefore, always pray with understanding, that those in authority may be guided by truth, surrounded by righteous counsel, and strengthened to fulfil Godโ€™s purpose. Pray that the Spirit of God will continually grant them discernment to identify and prevail over deceptive agendas, and walk in the wisdom of God. Praise God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the wisdom of your Spirit at work in me and in your Church. I pray for leaders in nations and institutions, that they be surrounded with righteous counsel and guided by truth. Every deceptive influence is exposed, and every counsel that opposes your purpose is turned into foolishness. Your wisdom prevails, and your will is established in the earth, in Jesusโ€™ Name. Amen.

Psalm 33:10-11 KJV
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. [11] The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Proverbs 21:30 KJV
There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

2 Samuel 17:23 KJV
And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and g*t him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
