THE IDEAL FOUNDATION!

Ideal Foundation

Memorise: "Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste" (Isa 28:16).

Read: Exodus 2:1-10

1  ¶ And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.

2  And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

3  And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.

4  And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.

5  ¶ And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.

6  And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.

7  Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?

8  And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.

9  And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.

10  And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

 

And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months" (Exodus 2:2).

Welcome to year 2011. Today's reading has some beautiful truths that can help us achieve laudable goals set for the year. This passage and Exodus 6:20 talk about the marriage between Amram and Jochebed-both of the tribe of Levi. The first lesson here is that a home on the right foundation opens a door through which God can reach the world. If you can get it right from the beginning, everything else will fall in place over a period of time. Moses was a product of a good foundation. Do you know that if Amram had taken an ungodly wife, he may never have had Moses? Singles of marriageable age who try to play smart with God when choosing a marriage partner will, among other losses, be denied God's best. Whatever it takes to start your family on the right foundation is worth all the trouble. Wait, search, and prayerfully probe all options available to you and ask God to guide you to His will.

"Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste." (Is 28:16). Amram's decision to marry from the priestly tribe was in consonance with God's set order to reproduce after kind (Gen 1:24-25). A believer is a kind. An unbeliever is another kind. When a believer marries an unbeliever, the law of kinds is breached and the product of such a relationship is confusion. In Genesis 6:1-7, when the sons of God began to marry the daughters of men, they gave birth to giants-abnormal children--and this provoked God's judgement on the world. The product of unequal yoke in marriage, business, ministry or academics might have unpleasant consequences. In other words, while some people give birth and Heaven is agog with joy, others give birth and God's judgement comes down. This year, you must resist every pressure to do anything without God's guidance. Ensure you have God's Word as your daily road map. Jesus is a sure foundation; He can be relied on to not disappoint. Do not partner with unbelievers in that business deal; avoid 'miracle agents' or vendors who use satanic powers in a bid to prosper. Let Jesus and His Word be your foundation in all you do this year! Happy New Year!

THE FATHER’S BLESSING:” I speak to you today, in the name above all names. There is Light ahead of you this year 2011 The former crooked way shall be made straight as the Great Repairer Of Faulty Foundations start to work on your destiny in Jesus' Name.” (Amen)
