TOPIC:
Built His House Upon the Sand
Memorise:
And the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house: and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Matthew 7:27
Please read: Matthew 7: 24-29
EXPOSITION:
Our passage reveals the importance of one living his or her life in total belief in the word of God. It also shows the danger of not living one's life based on the word of God. Hearing (or studying) and practicing the word of God must go together. This has a strong advantage. A person who lives his or her life
based on the word of God is likened to a wise fellow who builds his house upon a rock. Rain, floods, and winds will not have a devastating effect on the house. The wise builder will not suffer shipwreck. In contrast, a person who hears the word of God and does not practice it is likened to a foolish man who builds his house upon the sand. Rain, floods, and winds will have a devastating effect on it, and the shipwreck will be great. This metaphor is clear. Whosoever practices the word of God will never make a shipwreck of his life or faith. Therefore, he is wise. But whosoever does not practice the word of God will definitely make a shipwreck of his life or faith. Hence, he is foolish. Practicing the word of God daily is
tantamount to obeying God. This is what we are called to do.
Prayer point:
Father, help me to practice your word daily, to be a wise builder in your vineyard.
HAVE A REFRESHING TIME IN HIS PRESENCE…SHALOM
