Morning Devotional Message
Scripture Reading.
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 6:48 KJV

Kingdom Greetings to you all.
We thank God for the new Month. We have a new hope!! And we have assurance that our hope is built on the promises of God.
The story is told of a foolish man who built his house upon the sand, and when the storms of life came against it, it quickly came crashing down and was washed away. Just one blow and the house was gone!!.Then Jesus tells us about the wise man. The scriptures say that the wise man built his house upon a ROCK, a firm foundation, a secure footing, and when the WINDS beat against it the house stood…and when the RAINS came against it the house stood still…and when the FLOODS waters began to rise the house stood…and when the STORMS with all her furry came against the house, the house still stood!!! Why? Because the house was built on a firm foundation.I have highlighted four challenges here that were coming against the house i.e the WINDS, RAINS , FLOODS and STORMS.Looking at these (4) their nature and impact are different.But the only common thing here is the enemies PURPOSE to destroy!!!.We are told in the Bible (John 10:10 )of the three fold ministry of the devil who is referred as the thief, i.e to steal ,kill and destroy. But I like the scripture(Psalms 34:19) which then says many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all. As Christians we are not exempted from these challenges but because of our trust and hope in Christ victory is certain. The Bible also says in (Isiah 54:17) No weapon formed against you shall prosper.
Weapons are formed but they are rendered powerless because you are rooted in Christ .What am I saying here?
Who is the House?. You are that HOUSE
