Topic: Foundation and Patterns
The nations of the earth are going to get darker. We going to experience darkness like we have never known. The position and posture of the church is that the righteous shine brighter. Where ever the sons of God are there will be light.
Without justice South Africa will not turn. Amos 5:24 "let justice flow like water and righteousness be like a mighty stream"
God is not just looking for our lives he is looking for our obedience. God is looking for a template of justice. God is going to use you as a portal of justice. Righteousness and justice will exhohort the nation. You are about to take a journey of patterns and foundations. Pay carful attention to what is being said this year.
God is calling us all back to patterns. Pay attention to patterns, designs and details in this year. God is granting you and I wisdom for this year.
What ever you are building on, will determine how you stand this year. What is your foundation? What is keeping you steady this year?
I encourage you to build your lives on the rock.Build on the rock, because when the winds and waves come you will still stand. The floods came and they will still come again. The flood waters will test you, test every part of your life, family, finances, friends, etc.
Do not be in the company of fools. God does not want you to fall into a hole in 2023. Let us not become beasts, then look to the Lord for help.
Isaiah 60:1“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you". You have to become the light to those around you.
Phosphorescent - something that glows in the dark. When things get darker you have to show forth your light and glow in the dark.
Matthew 7:24-27
Build Your House on the Rock
24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
Jesus taught us an important truth by using a physical image. He spoke about building a house on the sand and on the stone. Jesus Christ is our only foundation.
1. We need to invest in a sure, solid and spiritual foundation. The only foundation that will stand is a foundation that is rooted in Christ.
2. Inspect your foundation, check in with your children and grandchildren what they foundations are.
3. Ensure our spiritual foundation is in Christ. We can only build a strong foundation if we adibe in God's word.
Stop living from the outside to the inside. Instead we should be living from the inside to the outside. What ever we develop and invest in our spiritual life will help us develop and invest in your natural life. Only Kingdom patterns can help you in the days to come.
What do you have in your life capital? What are you going to do with your life capital this year? How are you going to sustain your life capital?
Luke 19:41-42
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, 42 saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
This is a caution to us as sons for this year. We can not afford to miss our season. In the shaking that is coming to planet earth, a pray for you and me that we will not miss our season. We have to come back to our foundation, our patterns and to his word. We need to come back to the order of God.
