Post date: Sep 21, 2018 3:48:52 AM

“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? The mountains and hills may crumble, but my love for you will never end; I will keep forever my promise of peace. So says the Lord who loves you. The Lord says, O Jerusalem, you suffering, helpless city, with no one to comfort you, I will rebuild your foundations with precious stones. I will build your towers with rubies, your gates with stones that glow like fire, and the wall around you with jewels. I myself will teach your people and give them prosperity and peace. Justice and right will make you strong. You will be safe from oppression and terror. Whoever attacks youdoes it without my consent; whoever fights against you will fall. I create the blacksmith, who builds a fire and forges weapons. I also create the soldier, who uses the weapons to kill. But no weapon will be able to hurt you; you will have an answer for all who accuse you. I will defend my servants and give them victory. God says, at the time I have planned, I will bring justice against the wicked. When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil, I am the one who keeps its foundations firm. I warned the proud, stop your boasting, I told the wicked, don’t raise your fists, don’t raise your fists in defiance at the heavens or speak with such arrogance. For no one on earth from east or west, or even from the wilderness should raise a defiant fist. It is God alone who judges; he decides who will rise and who will fall.” Psalm 11:3; Isaiah 54:10-17; Psalm 75:2-7

God is raising you up from where you have fallen, from where the wicked enemies had left you stranded, confused, and shameful; from where your parents, colleagues, friends, and relative had abandoned you for years, David said when my father and my mother forsake me, the Lord took care of him; God is taking you beyond the imaginations of men and beyond your best dreams and efforts; He is taking you to new heights with a new foundation because the old foundation had been destroyed or compromised by the enemies; He is taking away the foundations of shame and injustices; the foundations of delays and frustrations; the foundations of constant borrowing, unending debts, and having always nothing; He is making a way to get you out of the wilderness of wondering thoughts, wondering dreams, unfruitfulness desires, unrewarding labors, unfruitful relationships, He is taking you out of loneliness and emptiness; He is leading you to the place He had prepared and promised and He will not fail you.

It is your time to rise above what you are now, to go beyond where you have settled due to the effects of the adversities you have experienced and suffered. God is about to restore your broken or damaged foundation; He is about to give you a new and solid foundation to stand and walk on from now; He is about to restore your body and reward your faithfulness; He is about to build you into who and what He desires and had planned; to keep and uphold you for His glory. The first foundation had been broken by the forces and workers of evil, this new foundation will not be destroyed again; it will bring total restoration to your life and to the good things that God gave you before and you have lost through several disappointments, delays, denials, confusion, shame and setbacks due to the past experiences. God is holding up the plumbline for you, He is lifting up the scepter in your favor, the enemies will not take you down again and you will not fail again in this new foundation. The enemies may have reshaped, desecrated, or destroyed the former foundation of your life, but this new one will far beyond their reach. The importance foundation in every one life and relationship can never be overlooked or overemphasized; the foundation that had been destroyed can never produce any good thing and need to be taken away for the new to begin and the Almighty God is bringing them down for you and enabling the new foundation to take its firm place through His grace and the working of His redemptive power in your life and in your case. Pray, Oh Lord, give me a new a foundation. For prayers Click here
