BE ASSURED AND ENSURED ON – “THE SURE FOUNDATION”: THAT’S BUILT ON – “THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

There’s nothing as inspiring, revealing and empowering when you come to know and understand that your foundation of FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, is of THE SURE FOUNDATION and it’s built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY as it’s written: 

“For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11. 

“Nevertheless, the FIRM FOUNDATION of God [which He has LAID] STANDS [SURE and UNSHAKEN despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who ARE His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord STAND APART from wickedness and WITHDRAW from wrongdoing” 2 Timothy 2:19/Amplified. 

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT that SHINETH in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts” 2 Peter 1:19. 

And when I mean THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s built on THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY, I do mean the prophecy which you can ENACT and AUTHENTICATE because it testifies of you and it’s toward God and faith toward Christ Jesus as touching our REDEMPTION and nothing else. For an effectual sure WORD of prophecy is toward the TESTIMONY OF JESUS in God concerning us in redemption without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation; and anything else is falsehoods, adulteration, perversion, counterfeit, man-made for self-hype, applaud and such like. For the TESTIMONY of Jesus, is the true spirit of PROPHECY unto any believer in Christ Jesus. So, the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the TESTIMONY of God signifying the TRUE spirit of Prophecy. [Revelation 19:10; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5]. Upon this ASSURED and ENSURED TESTIMONY on THE SURE FOUNDATION of the SURE WORD of God, that gives and leads the Believer’s with the enabling to live in the sphere of – a triumphant, a victorious, an overcomer and a MORE than conquerors – over the enemy and cohorts in all aspects of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead, as it’s written: 

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10. 

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11. 

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you THE TESTIMONY of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, SAVE Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my PREACHING was not with ENTICING WORDS of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 that your faith should not STAND in the wisdom of men, but in the POWER of God” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5. 

And it must be noted that in the NEW CREATION TESTAMENT, the spirit of Prophecy is more of FORTH-TELLING than of FORE-TELLING which is of the OLD CREATION TESTAMENT. For the FORE-TELLING prophecy is fulfilled in Christ Jesus while the FORTH-TELLING prophecy, is the prophecy of announcing, declaring, pronouncing, proclaiming, professing and confessing the fulfilled deed of Christ Jesus in our REDEMPTION, that’s ministering unto our COMFORT, EDIFICATION and EXHORTATION. Anything contrary it’s perversion and adulteration as it’s written: 

“But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” 1 Corinthians 14:3. 

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER GOSPEL: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH any OTHER GOSPEl unto you THAN that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH any other GOSPEL unto you THAN that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9 [Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18]. 

And knowing that the spirit of Prophecy is of God and in Christ Jesus stead, and that the New Creation Testament prophecy is toward edification, exhortation and comfort, to know then that THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY is there to assure and establish A SURE FOUNDATION is Jesus Christ, who then is the WORD of God in prophecy as it’s written: 

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7. 

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14. 

Therefore, THE SURE FOUNDATION is only authentic to be communicated and enacted in every sphere of doing life and living godly of God in Christ Jesus stead – and more so, that’s when it’s founded on THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY – which is Christ Jesus, our Saviour and Lord. Hence, we can be emboldened and assured that our faith communication can then be EFFECTUAL – productive and results oriented – as we acknowledged every of the GOOD of God in Christ Jesus that’s IN us, as it’s written: 

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 

And by THE SURE WORD, the whole world is ruled and governed, sustained and suspended, such that what we see are not made by what is visible to man but by the invisible prophetic SURE WORD of God. So, in every day and moment, THE WORD is being fulfilled knowingly or unknowingly.  

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that THE WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is SEEN was not made out of things which are VISIBLE” Hebrews 11:3/Amplified. 

Therefore, for an ASSURED faith in God in Christ Jesus, you need to ensure that you are founded daily in every context of decision making on THE SURE FOUNDATION which is built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY. This is to enable you make an intentional decision, in order to have and live in a leverage of thriving that’s toward an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, and to also keep you stable, strong, undaunted, uncompromising, gracious and such like, in God and in Christ Jesus stead. And it will equally help you to ensure that your faith foundation is not built upon Man-made indoctrinations which are consequence of denomination, tradition and all forms of creeds, dogmas and bye-laws that have held and kept many in religious bondages to suit in making number gains and not in followership and leadership of the Holy Spirit of THE SURE FOUNDATION of THE SURE WORD. 

And by your FAITH that’s founded on THE SURE FOUNDATION, which is built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY, you the believing one in Christ Jesus, may go through a shaking times and phases in life as pertaining to anything under the Sun, but you CAN’T, and I repeat – you CAN’T be UNSHAKEN and CAN’T be DESTROYED by it, but will instead, be able by your ASSURED FOUNDATION and ASSURED WORD, speak mysteries of gracious words unto EDIFICATION, EXHORTATIONS and COMFORTS to elevate both you and OTHERS because of THE PREVAILING and GRACIOUS WORD of mysteries that’s been exercise to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE matters of life and godliness, as it’s written: 

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” Psalms 11:3. 

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he SPEAKETH MYSTERIES. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” 1 Corinthians 14:1-3. 

“And all bare him (Christ Jesus) WITNESS, and WONDERED at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of His MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22/Emphasis Mine. 

“So mightily grew THE WORD of God and PREVAILED” Acts 19:20. 

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you go FORTH in grace, ensuring and assuring you live upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s built upon THE SURE WORD, as you speak FORTH mysteries unto your well-being and that of others, as you do life and live godly, in the graciousness,  gracefulness, and BLESSEDNESS of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3. 

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17. 

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 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 7:24-27. 

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5. 

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12. 

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3. 

“Let us HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION of our HOPE (FAITH) without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” Hebrews 10:23. 

“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR CONFESSION” Hebrews 4:14/NKJV. 

“A man’s STOMACH shall be SATISFIED from the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; From the produce of HIS LIPS he shall be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE, And those who LOVE it will EAT its fruit” Proverbs 18:20-21/NKJV. 

“You are SNARED by THE WORDS of your mouth; You are TAKEN by THE WORDS of your mouth” Proverbs 6:2/NKJV.

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH: ON THE SURE FOUNDATION WITH THE SURE WORD!

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN (ERRONEOUS), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV.

In life, you are either living by FAITH built upon the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD or you are living by FATE built upon RELIGION that you do in the name of God that connotes creeds, dogmas, sentiment and prejudice, by laws, man-made traditional sectarian settings being carried on and practice overtime as a spiritual norms and other such like.

The FAITH of God in Christ Jesus is of the sure WORD, and the sure WORD is the TRUTH that saves, delivers, frees and emancipates one from the FATE bondages. Hence FAITH with a SURE FOUNDATION built upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure the gracious leverage in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead  in the face of any challenges that shows up in the world.

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“For this is THE LOVE of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS (IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER). 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5/Emphasis Mine.

Building your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD sets you FREE from the enemies and cohorts of the FAITH in Christ Jesus which are:

* The WORLD – the enemy we SEE

* The FLESH – the enemy we FEEL

* The DEVIL – the enemy we KNOW

* The RELIGION – the enemy we DO

Until you identify these enemies and keep them at bay – especially the RELIGION enemy that’s subtle and crafty which we DO and have robbed many of the genuineness of the Faith; for while many go living on FATE thinking it’s FAITH in Christ Jesus, and without the knowing that one have been engraved with religiosity in essence; and there are many there who are without genuine difference that’s scripturally FAITH-BASED apart from the sect religious differences they own as to what they do.

The essence why you must live by and be built upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s founded upon THE SURE WORD, is to help you experience these but not limited, of the graciousness of God in these sphere:

* YOU AVOID HERESY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will protect against false teachings and teacher’s; and heretical beliefs that can lead one astray from the faith in Christ Jesus to the fate of the enemies and cohorts earlier mentioned.

* BIBLICAL ACCURACY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural teachings that are aligned with the Holy writ – the Bible; and provides the solid foundation for the faith and the practicability of the faith.

* SPIRITUAL GROWTH: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give proper scriptural knowing and understanding that leads to spiritual growth, maturity and intimate relationship and fellowship with God; and fellowship with other Believer’s in Christ Jesus; and in relating and dealing with life matters with the world about us.

* EFFECTIVE WITNESSING: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will make us a effective witness bearers for Christ Jesus as His true ambassador and embassy of God. As an ASSURED witness, we will be devoid of false teachings and heretical beliefs that can lead both the unbelieving and Believer’s alike astray by a great measure.

* UNITY AND COMMUNION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give a clear and accurate genuine relationship and fellowship that fosters unity within the Christian FAITH community. Simply for the fact that everyone shares a common communion of UNDERSTANDING of the essential beliefs of the faith in Christ Jesus stead.

* UNSHAKEN FAITH FOUNDATION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural FAITH foundation. Our FAITH foundation in God in Christ Jesus may be TESTED and SHAKEN by the forces of the enemies and cohorts as aforementioned earlier, but can’t be UNSHAKEN or DESTROYED because the FAITH foundation is SURE and TRUE and preserved by the person of the sure FOUNDATION and sure WORD, the person of – our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

** For more, you can get hold of my book entitled “TRIUMPH IN READING THE WORD” and or any other of my books or published writings in the various platforms of my websites or social media alike for your perusal.

It’s my utmost PRAYERS that you build up your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION that’s upon THE SURE WORD of God which is Christ Jesus the Lord. Amen.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12.

MONTH SEPTEMBER 2023: MONTH OF LIVING AND BUILDING ON –  “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD!

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLD’S (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [FORMED, put in ORDER, and EQUIPPED for their intended PURPOSE] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Psalms 11:3/Amplified.

The neglect to the foundation of anything will cause harmful effects in any intended built up on that foundation. The Father God in laying the foundation of the earth and the built-up of the world in it for the humans and all created things, did ensured, that the foundation is without questions. He did ensured and assured Himself that the architectural and structural design could and would withstand the heavy load of the billions of human factors and activities that will be done on it as written in Psalm 24:1-5 and Isaiah 45:11-12; Revelation 4:11; Hebrews 11:3. And there is a great lesson to starts from the known of God to the unknown if we follow the principles of His as found in the Holy writ.

I have as well as you might have studied yet studying, to know, and grown yet growing, to say, that I have seen natural and human and spiritual devastations in different sphere of humanity; I have seen structural buildings of many sorts – both small and great – been subjected to rubble; and the result of any devastating happenings is always relatively costly to both the human, natural and spiritual caused conditions.

And I have as well as you might have – seen, read, observed and watched lost of individual and public Properties of various segments cutting across and not limited: Agricultural lands, Business’s, Ministries/Church buildings, Governments Offices, Non-governmental parastatals places, Families and Individual residences and such like. And in all situations and circumstances, it’s always a very deep hearted feelings, touching and heartbreaking for any to go through the metamorphosis of change at various segments – especially in a helpless situations to awaits the worst of both ends of the lost of life’s, livelihoods and properties.

And in some cases, the devastations are really very very bad and beyond comprehension of the human lost and financial costs and spiritual costs and more, to those affected respectively.  As I prepared to write this, and recalling while flipping through the various accessible multimedia channels not long ago, I could see devastations of human life’s, livelihoods and properties and such like in various nations of the world. The effects of the weather impact in those places and some especially, are seriously a cause for tears, pains, and hurts unimaginable. While some could be natural, others are of human negligence over time by those who ought to have put in place some well-thought-of foundation that could have withstood the tests of time but has failed to see reasons to get things done as expected.

Some of these devastations are caused by natural causes, but most of the time, human creations and causes have been undermined, especially in places that ought to have been subjected and scrutinised to the proper standards of settings and principles. However, they have been overlooked and given free leverage, thereby resulting in the overwhelming costs of life, livelihoods, properties, finance, and such.

Now, flipping from the natural and human devastations to spiritually devastating state, you will find out that the spiritually devastating state is more shocking considering the deception, delusional, indoctrination, adulteration, perversion and falsehoods, and Man-made effect on people. Worst still is when you consider many of some so called Christians or followers of Jesus Christ or Believers answering to the Faith in Christ Jesus, who are without the basic foundation or foundational knowledge and understanding of the Faith they have alleged to belong, except to their denominational doctrinal settings – creeds, bylaws, traditional dogmas and such like. Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Acts 8:9-24.

While many have sincerely given their lives to God in Christ Jesus and have resolved to both believe and follow Christ Jesus as their foundation – there are others, that have found themselves knowingly and or unknowingly on a wrongly laid FOUNDATION – especially in some places of worship; and there are others on the other hand, who have blindly followed the blind, swayed away from the TRUTH in their faith foundation of the Gospel; and in each case, many are thereby not only wrongly founded but are as such building wrongly on the same foundation that’s wrongly laid. 1 Corinthians 3:1-17; 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

And it’s partly upon the above paragraph concerns, that the theme of September 2023 comes to play as to the how to help some if not all to the place of living and building on – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” in Christ Jesus; and this is to give the essence of the light out of darkness, into the full knowledge of God in the face of Christ Jesus as written:

“For God, who said, “Let LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS,” is the One who has SHONE in our hearts to GIVE us the Light of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the FACE of Christ . . . 13 Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had, who wrote in Scripture, “I believed, therefore I spoke.” We also believe, therefore we also speak, 14 knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and will present us [along] with you in His presence” 2 Corinthians 4:6, 13-14/Amplified.

And laying the foundation of one’s FAITH on the ROCK and building and living on that same ROCK, which is Jesus Christ, the foundation and the builder of His Church, is God’s expectations from us if we must THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus; and to save us from living and building on a life of SURVIVAL while we yet acclaimed to be God’s own in every sense. Matthew 7:24-27.

Our Father God in His eternal plan laid the unshaken and indestructible foundation of our FAITH while in His set plans for human REDEMPTION in His Son Jesus Christ. This He did, long before the formation and foundation of the world the scripture says – thus indicating that the world in God’s plan has FOUNDATION to keep it stable for the purpose – [ Revelation 3:8; 1 Peter 1:18-21; Hebrews 9:26; Ephesians 1:4 (3-12); John 17:24].

I will be taking time to expatiate in segments upon segments, in the course of the month, on what it means to live and build on THE SURE FOUNDATION, which is of God in Christ Jesus, so that you and I can enjoy the fulness and fulfilling life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 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 7:24-27.

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“And I fell at his feet to WORSHIP him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have THE TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: for THE TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.

WELCOME TO MONTH SEPTEMBER 2023

WELCOME TO MONTH SEPTEMBER 2023: THE MONTH OF “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

I sincerely and blessedly WELCOME you to the MONTH SEPTEMBER – the month to ENSURE that you are SCRIPTURALLY living and building on –  “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – in Christ Jesus stead.

“For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11.

“Nevertheless, the FIRM FOUNDATION of God [which He has LAID] STANDS [SURE and UNSHAKEN despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who ARE His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord STAND APART from wickedness and WITHDRAW from wrongdoing” 2 Timothy 2:19/Amplified.

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT that SHINETH in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts” 2 Peter 1:19.

The Month SEPTEMBER 2023, should be the actualising months to enact, authenticate and ensure that you are SCRIPTURALLY LIVING and BUILDING on – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” that’s built upon – THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 3:11 (10-17); 2 Timothy 2:19 (19-21); 2 Peter 1:19 (19-21)]. The essence is for you to THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in doing life and living godly in the FAITH, wherein you STAND assured and justified by grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

The FAITH of the believing one in Christ Jesus may go through a shaking touching phase as anything under the Sun could be, but it CAN’T, and I repeat – it CAN’T be UNSHAKEN and CAN’T be DESTROYED as some in many quarters have catapulted in their circles and Circus of the Christian FAITH to intimidate some; and this they do to those that are not SCRIPTURALLY knowledgeable and understandable of their place of rights and privileges in our sure REDEMPTION that is forever a done deed for them. The Believer’s in God in Christ Jesus need to know and understand that their foundation is an assured SURE FOUNDATION, that no forces on EARTH and beneath the earth can be able to PARALLEL with it and to even consider to UNSHAKEN nor DESTROY it as many have always tend to quote the Psalmist Scripture as written:

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” Psalms 11:3.

The above SCRIPTURE in context is pertaining to a society whose foundation supposedly is destroyed and what role the RIGHTEOUS with THE SURE FOUNDATION stand of God in Christ Jesus should do to help restore the demographic changes of UNRIGHTEOUS causes that individual or society – which is, to the RIGHTEOUS cause of God, in Christ Jesus stead. For the unbeliever’s lives and builds on destructible foundation; and it’s the Believer’s in Christ Jesus stead that lives and builds on THE SURE FOUNDATION; And righteous believer is on a mandatory watch of God as an heavenly ambassador and representative on earthly affairs, to play the role to bring back or restore broken and destructible foundation in an individual and societal demographics, to the supposedly righteous cause upon which the society can have an assured SURE FOUNDATION. Thus indicating that an individual and societal demographics may CHANGE as it’s unstable and it’s shakeable, but it takes the righteous SURE FOUNDATION that’s unshaken and indestructible, to bring the society to a righteous cause with God.

The month September to me therefore, should be the beginning of months to enact, authenticate and ensure that you are SCRIPTURALLY living and building on – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” in Christ Jesus stead. This is the only grandstands if you are to THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in doing life and living godly in the FAITH wherein you STAND assured and justified by grace. This is also to ACTUALISE into reality and tangibility, ALL THINGS that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning the assured SURE FOUNDATION Believer’s. 2 Peter 1:1-4; Ephesians 1:3, 20, Ephesians 2:6.

The Month SEPTEMBER is the ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, the third of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the fourth of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. September in the Northern Hemisphere and March in the Southern Hemisphere are seasonal equivalent. The Month SEPTEMBER in the northern hemisphere is usually considered the first month of autumn. For many, the month of September signals the end of summer, the beginning of autumn, and the start of a new school year. With respect to the calendar, September marks the beginning of the series of months named after their numerical position in the year.

As Month September signals the end of summer and the beginning of Autumn, there’s the need to SCRIPTURALLY ensure, enact and authenticate that you are living and building your FAITH – rooted and grounded on – THE SURE FOUNDATION – which is Christ Jesus. For I am emboldened to announce and say to you – that it’s not enough to know your redemptive rights in Christ UNTIL you – SCRIPTURALLY ENACT, AUTHENTICATE and ENSURE it, into reality and tangibility; that is, to cause them to BECOME a living life reality SCRIPTURALLY. Make Month September your SCRIPTURAL Month to be solidly rooted, grounded and built up on the ROCK which is Christ Jesus – THE SURE FOUNDATION, and not on the SAND that’s sinkable, destructible, shakeable and untenable. Matthew 7:24-27.

The Month SEPTEMBER – the ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, can be summed up Scripturally in this wise to authenticate our SURE FOUNDATION grandstands:

* It reminds one of the Nine (9) Fruit of the Spirit for your Christian Faith CHARACTER, BEHAVIOURAL and CONDUCT enabling. Galatians 5:22-25; 1 Timothy 3:15.

*It reminds one of the Nine (9) Spiritual gifts of the Spirit to enable one to function in MINISTERIAL, SPIRITUAL and CIVIC life demands. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 27-31; Romans 12:1-8.

** The ninth month SIGNIFIES the complete of human GESTATION – complete time of BIRTHING a new life, a time to expect DELIVERIES; and since NINE means PERFECTION in a sense, it thus means in essence, a month of WHOLENESS and COMPLETENESS and FULFILLING and MATURING. 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13.

Therefore, in this Month September, know that you have All it takes to make BECOME in Christ Jesus because we’ve being given the SURE WORD OF PROPHECY to remain unshakeable and indestructible in all of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 2 Peter 1:19-21.

Therefore, make an intentional and conscious choice to ensure Scripturally, that the WORD of God works and it’s alive today, as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow as you live and build on THE SURE FOUNDATION – which is Christ Jesus, our Saviour and Lord. Amen.

Have an awesome and amazing month of grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 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 7:24-27.

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH: ON THE SURE FOUNDATION WITH THE SURE WORD!

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN (ERRONEOUS), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV.

In life you are either living by FAITH built upon the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD or you are living by FATE buiit upon RELIGION that you do in the name of God that connotes creeds, dogmas, sentiment and prejudice, by laws, man-made traditional sectarian settings being carried on and practice overtime as a spiritual norms and other such like.

The FAITH of God in Christ Jesus is of the sure WORD, and the sure WORD is the TRUTH that saves, delivers, frees and emancipates one from the FATE bondages. Hence FAITH with a SURE FOUNDATION built upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure the gracious leverage in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead  in the face of any challenges that shows up in the world.

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“For this is THE LOVE of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS (IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER). 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5/Emphasis Mine.

Building your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD sets you FREE from the enemies and cohorts of the FAITH in Christ Jesus which are:

* The WORLD – the enemy we SEE

* The FLESH – the enemy we FEEL

* The DEVIL – the enemy we KNOW

* The RELIGION – the enemy we DO

Until you identify these enemies and keep them at bay – especially the RELIGION enemy that’s subtle and crafty which we DO and have robbed many of the genuineness of the Faith; for while many go living on FATE thinking it’s FAITH in Christ Jesus, and without the knowing that one have been engraved with religiosity in essence; and there are many there who are without genuine difference that’s scripturally FAITH-BASED apart from the sect religious differences they own as to what they do.

The essence why you must live by and be built upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s founded upon THE SURE WORD, is to help you experience these but not limited, of the graciousnesss of God in these sphere:

* YOU AVOID HERESY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will protect against false teachings and teacher’s; and heretical beliefs that can lead one astray from the faith in Christ Jesus to the fate of the enemies and cohorts earlier mentioned.

* BIBLICAL ACCURACY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural teachings that are aligned with the Holy writ – the Bible; and provides the solid foundation for the faith and the practicability of the faith.

* SPIRITUAL GROWTH: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give proper scriptural knowing and understanding that leads to spiritual growth, maturity and intimate relationship and fellowship with God; and fellowship with other Believer’s in Christ Jesus; and in relating and dealing with life matters with the world about us.

* EFFECTIVE WITNESSING: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will make us a effective witness bearers for Christ Jesus as His true ambassador and embassy of God. As an ASSURED witness, we will be devoid of false teachings and heretical beliefs that can lead both the unbelieving and Believer’s alike astray by a great measure.

* UNITY AND COMMUNION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give a clear and accurate genuine relationship and fellowship that fosters unity within the Christian FAITH community. Simply for the fact that everyone shares a common communion of UNDERSTANDING of the essential beliefs of the faith in Christ Jesus stead.

* UNSHAKEN FAITH FOUNDATION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural FAITH foundation. Our FAITH foundation in God in Christ Jesus may be TESTED and SHAKEN by the forces of the enemies and cohorts as aforementioned earlier, but can’t be UNSHAKEN or DESTROYED because the FAITH foundation is SURE and TRUE and preserved by the person of the sure FOUNDATION and sure WORD, the person of – our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

** For more, you can get hold of my book entitled “TRIUMPH IN READING THE WORD” and or any other of my books or published writings in the various platforms of my websites or social media alike for your perusal.

It’s my utmost PRAYERS that you build up your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION that’s upon THE SURE WORD of God which is Christ Jesus the Lord. Amen.

BE ASSURED & ENSURED ON – “THE SURE FOUNDATION”

By Leave a Comment

BE ASSURED & ENSURED ON – “THE SURE FOUNDATION”: THAT IS BUILT ON – “THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

There’s nothing as inspiring, revealing and empowering when you come to know that your foundation of FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, is of THE SURE FOUNDATION which is built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY as it’s written:

“For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11.

“Nevertheless, the FIRM FOUNDATION of God [which He has LAID] STANDS [SURE and UNSHAKEN despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who ARE His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord STAND APART from wickedness and WITHDRAW from wrongdoing” 2 Timothy 2:19/Amplified.

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT that SHINETH in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts” 2 Peter 1:19.

And when I mean THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s built on THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY, I do mean the prophecy which you can enact and authenticate because it testifies of and toward Christ Jesus as touching our REDEMPTION and nothing else. For an effectual sure WORD of prophecy is toward the TESTIMONY OF JESUS concerning us in redemption without prejudice; and anything else is falsehoods, adulteration, perversion, counterfeit, man-made for self hype, applaud and such like. For the TESTIMONY of Jesus, is the true spirit of PROPHECY unto any believer’s in Christ Jesus. And the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the TESTIMONY of God signifying the TRUE spirit of Prophecy. [Revelation 19:10; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5]. Upon this ASSURED and ENSURED TESTIMONY on THE SURE FOUNDATION that gives and leads the Believer’s with the enabling to live in the sphere of a triumphant, victorious, an overcomer and a MORE than conquerors over the enemy and cohorts in all aspects of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you THE TESTIMONY of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, SAVE Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my PREACHING was not with ENTICING WORDS of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 that your faith should not STAND in the wisdom of men, but in the POWER of God” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5.

And it must be noted that in the New Creation Testament, the spirit of Prophecy is more of FORTH-TELLING than of FORE-TELLING. For the FORE-TELLING prophecy is as fulfilled in Christ Jesus while the FORTH-TELLING prophecy, is the prophecy of announcing, declaring, pronouncing, proclaiming, professing and confessing the fulfilled deed of Christ Jesus in our REDEMPTION unto our COMFORT, EDIFICATION and EXHORTATION. Anything contrary it’s perversion and adulteration as it’s written:

“But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” 1 Corinthians 14:3.

And as the spirit of Prophecy is and toward Christ Jesus, and knowing that the New Creation Testament prophecy it’s to edification, exhortation and comfort, suffix to know then that THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY that’s to ensure THE SURE FOUNDATION is Jesus Christ, who then is the WORD of God in prophecy as it’s written:

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14.

Therefore, THE SURE FOUNDATION is only authentic to be communicated and enacted in every sphere of doing life and living godly of God in Christ Jesus stead, when it’s founded on THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY – which is Christ Jesus, Saviour, and Lord. Hence, our faith communication can then be effectual – productive and results-oriented, as we acknowledged every of the good of God in Christ Jesus that’s in us, as it’s written:

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

And by THE SURE WORD, the whole world is rule and governed, sustained and suspended, such that what we see are not made by what is visible to man but by the invisible prophetic SURE WORD of God. So in every day and moment, THE WORD is being fulfilled knowingly or unknowingly.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that THE WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is SEEN was not made out of things which are VISIBLE” Hebrews 11:3/Amplified.

Therefore, for an ASSURED faith in God in Christ Jesus, you need to ensure that you are founded daily in every context of decision making on THE SURE FOUNDATION which is built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY. This is to enable you make an intentional decision, in order to have and live in a leverage of thriving that’s toward an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, and to also keep you stable, strong, undaunted, uncompromising, gracious and such like, in God and in Christ Jesus stead. And it will equally help you to ensure that you faith foundation is not built upon Man-made indoctrinations which are consequence of denomination, tradition and all forms of creeds, dogmas and bye-laws that have held and kept many in religious bondages to suit in making number gains and not in followership and leadership of the Holy Spirit of THE SURE FOUNDATION of THE SURE WORD.

And by your FAITH that’s founded on THE SURE FOUNDATION, which is built upon THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY, you the believing one in Christ Jesus, may go through a shaking times and phases in life as pertaining to anything under the Sun, but you CAN’T, and I repeat – you CAN’T be UNSHAKEN and CAN’T be DESTROYED by it, but will instead, be able by your ASSURED FOUNDATION and ASSURED WORD, speak mysteries of gracious words unto EDIFICATION, EXHORTATIONS and COMFORTS to elevate both you and OTHERS because of THE PREVAILING and GRACIOUS WORD of mysteries that’s been exercise to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE matters of life and godliness, as it’s written:

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” Psalms 11:3.

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he SPEAKETH MYSTERIES. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” 1 Corinthians 14:1-3.

“And all bare him (Christ Jesus) WITNESS, and WONDERED at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22/Emphasis Mine.

“So mightily grew THE WORD of God and PREVAILED” Acts 19:20.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you go FORTH in grace, ensuring and assuring you live upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s built upon THE SURE WORD, as you speak FORTH mysteries unto your well-being and that of others, as you do life and live godly, in the graciousnesss and gracefulness, and BLESSEDNESS of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 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 7:24-27.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.

“Let us HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION of our HOPE (FAITH) without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” Hebrews 10:23.

“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR CONFESSION” Hebrews 4:14/NKJV.

“A man’s STOMACH shall be SATISFIED from the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; From the produce of HIS LIPS he shall be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE, And those who LOVE it will EAT its fruit” Proverbs 18:20-21/NKJV.

MONTH SEPTEMBER 2023: MONTH OF LIVING AND BUILDING ON –  “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD!

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLD’S (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [FORMED, put in ORDER, and EQUIPPED for their intended PURPOSE] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Psalms 11:3/Amplified.

The neglect to the foundation of anything will cause harmful effects in any intended built up on that foundation. The Father God in laying the foundation of the earth and the built-up of the world in it for the humans and all created things, did ensured, that the foundation is without questions. He did ensured and assured Himself that the architectural and structural design could and would withstand the heavy load of the billions of human factors and activities that will be done on it as written in Psalm 24:1-5 and Isaiah 45:11-12; Revelation 4:11; Hebrews 11:3. And there is a great lesson to starts from the known of God to the unknown if we follow the principles of His as found in the Holy writ.

I have as well as you might have studied yet studying, to know, and grown yet growing, to say, that I have seen natural and human and spiritual devastations in different sphere of humanity; I have seen structural buildings of many sorts – both small and great – been subjected to rubble; and the result of any devastating happenings is always relatively costly to both the human, natural and spiritual caused conditions.

And I have as well as you might have – seen, read, observed and watched lost of individual and public Properties of various segments cutting across and not limited: Agricultural lands, Business’s, Ministries/Church buildings, Governments Offices, Non-governmental parastatals places, Families and Individual residences and such like. And in all situations and circumstances, it’s always a very deep hearted feelings, touching and heartbreaking for any to go through the metamorphosis of change at various segments – especially in a helpless situations to awaits the worst of both ends of the lost of life’s, livelihoods and properties.

And in some cases, the devastations are really very very bad and beyond comprehension of the human lost and financial costs and spiritual costs and more, to those affected respectively.  As I prepared to write this, and recalling while flipping through the various accessible multimedia channels not long ago, I could see devastations of human life’s, livelihoods and properties and such like in various nations of the world. The effects of the weather impact in those places and some especially, are seriously a cause for tears, pains and hurts and unimaginable. While some could be natural, others are of human negligence overtime by those that ought to have put in place some well thought of foundation that could have withstands the tests of time but have failed to see reasons to get things done as would have been expected.

Why some of these devastations are of natural causes, but in most of the time, there are human creations and causes that have been undermined especially in places that ought to have been subjected and scrutinised to the proper standards of settings and principles but have been overlooked and given a free leverage thereby resulting the overwhelming costs of life’s, livelihoods, properties, finance and such like, to be incurred.

Now, flipping from the natural and human devastations to spiritual devastating state, you will found out that the spiritual devastating state is more shocking considering the deception, delusional, indoctrination, adulteration, perversion and falsehoods and Man-made effect on people. Worst still is when you consider many of some so called Christians or followers of Jesus Christ or Believers answering to the Faith in Christ Jesus, who are without the basic foundation or foundational knowledge and understanding of the Faith they have alleged to belong, except to their denominational doctrinal settings – creeds, bylaws, traditional dogmas and such like. Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Acts 8:9-24.

While many have sincerely given their life’s to God in Christ Jesus and have resolved to both believe and follow Christ Jesus as their foundation – there are others, that have found themselves knowingly and or unknowingly on a wrongly laid FOUNDATION – especially in some places of worship; and there are others on the other hand, who have blindly followed the blind, swayed away from the TRUTH in their faith foundation of the Gospel; and in each cases, many are thereby not only wrongly founded but are as such building wrongly on the same  foundation that’s wrongly laid. 1 Corinthians 3:1-17; 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

And it’s partly upon the above paragraph concerns, that the theme of September 2023 comes to play as to the how to help some if not all to the place of living and building on – “THE SURE FOUNDATION” in Christ Jesus;  and this is to give the essence of the light out of darkness, into the full knowledge of God in the face of Christ Jesus as written:

“For God, who said, “Let LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS,” is the One who has SHONE in our hearts to GIVE us the Light of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the FACE of Christ . . . 13 Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had, who wrote in Scripture, “I believed, therefore I spoke.” We also believe, therefore we also speak, 14 knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and will present us [along] with you in His presence” 2 Corinthians 4:6, 13-14/Amplified.

And laying the foundation of one’s FAITH on the ROCK and building and living on that same ROCK, which is Jesus Christ, the foundation and the builder of His Church, is God’s expectations from us if we must THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus; and to save us from living and building on a life of SURVIVAL while we yet acclaimed to be God’s own in every sense. Matthew 7:24-27.

Our Father God in His eternal plan laid the unshaken and indestructible foundation  of our FAITH while in His set plans for human REDEMPTION in His Son Jesus Christ. This He did, long before the formation and foundation of the world the scripture says – thus indicating that the world in God’s plan has FOUNDATION to keep it stable for the purpose – [ Revelation 3:8; 1 Peter 1:18-21; Hebrews 9:26; Ephesians 1:4 (3-12); John 17:24].

I will be taking time to expatiate in segments upon segments, in the course of the month, on what it means to live and build on THE SURE FOUNDATION, which is of God in Christ Jesus, so that you and I can enjoy the fulness and fulfilling life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And I fell at his feet to WORSHIP him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have THE TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: for THE TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

AFD SEPTEMBER 2023 EDITION

WELCOME TO MONTH SEPTEMBER 2023: THE MONTH OF “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD!

I sincerely and blessedly WELCOME you to the MONTH SEPTEMBER – the month to ENSURE that you are SCRIPTURALLY living and building on –  “THE SURE FOUNDATION” – in Christ Jesus stead.

“For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11.

“Nevertheless, the FIRM FOUNDATION of God [which He has LAID] STANDS [SURE and UNSHAKEN despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who ARE His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord STAND APART from wickedness and WITHDRAW from wrongdoing” 2 Timothy 2:19/Amplified.

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT that SHINETH in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts” 2 Peter 1:19.

The Month SEPTEMBER 2023, should be the actualising months to enact, authenticate and ensure that you are SCRIPTURALLY LIVING and BUILDING on –  “THE SURE FOUNDATION” that’s built upon – THE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 3:11 (10-17); 2 Timothy 2:19 (19-21); 2 Peter 1:19 (19-21)]. The essence is for you to THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in doing life and living godly in the FAITH, wherein you STAND assured and justified by grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

The FAITH of the believing one in Christ Jesus may go through a shaking touching phase as anything under the Sun could be, but it CAN’T, and I repeat – it CAN’T be UNSHAKEN and CAN’T be DESTROYED as some in many quarters have catapulted in their circles and Circus of the Christian FAITH to intimidate some; and this they do to those that are not SCRIPTURALLY knowledgeable and understandable of their place of rights and privileges in our sure REDEMPTION that is forever a done deed for them. The Believer’s in God in Christ Jesus need to know and understand that their foundation is an assured SURE FOUNDATION, that no forces on EARTH and beneath the earth can be able to PARALLEL with it and to even consider to UNSHAKEN nor DESTROY it as many have always tend to quote the Psalmist Scripture as written:

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” Psalms 11:3.

The above SCRIPTURE in context is pertaining to a society whose foundation supposedly is destroyed and what role the RIGHTEOUS with THE SURE FOUNDATION stand of God in Christ Jesus should do to help restore the demographic changes of UNRIGHTEOUS causes  that individual or society – which is, to the RIGHTEOUS cause of God, in Christ Jesus stead. For the unbeliever’s lives and builds on destructible foundation; and it’s the Believer’s in Christ Jesus stead that lives and builds on THE SURE FOUNDATION; And righteous believer is on a mandatory watch of God as an heavenly ambassador and representative on earthly affairs, to play the role to bring back or restore broken and destructible foundation in an individual and societal demographics, to the supposedly righteous cause upon which the society can have an assured SURE FOUNDATION. Thus indicating that an individual and societal demographics may CHANGE as it’s unstable and it’s shakable, but it takes the righteous SURE FOUNDATION that’s unshaken and indestructible, to bring the society to a righteous cause with God.

The month September to me therefore, should be the beginning of months to enact, authenticate and ensure that you are SCRIPTURALLY living and building on –  “THE SURE FOUNDATION” in Christ Jesus stead. This is the only grandstands if you are to THRIVE in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in doing life and living godly in the FAITH wherein you STAND assured and justified by grace. This is also in order to ACTUALISE into reality and tangibility, ALL THINGS that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning the assured SURE FOUNDATION Believer’s. 2 Peter 1:1-4; Ephesians 1:3, 20, Ephesians 2:6.

The Month SEPTEMBER is the ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, the third of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the fourth of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. September in the Northern Hemisphere and March in the Southern Hemisphere are seasonal equivalent. The Month SEPTEMBER in the northern hemisphere is usually considered the first month of autumn. For many, the month of September signals the end of summer, the beginning of autumn, and the start of a new school year. With respect to the calendar, September marks the beginning of the series of months named after their numerical position in the year.

As Month September signals the end of summer and the beginning of Autumn, there’s the need to SCRIPTURALLY ensure, enact and authenticate that you are living and building your FAITH – rooted and grounded on – THE SURE FOUNDATION – which is Christ Jesus. For I am emboldened to announce and say to you – that it’s not enough to know your redemptive rights in Christ UNTIL you – SCRIPTURALLY ENACT, AUTHENTICATE and ENSURE it, into reality and tangibility; that is, to cause them to BECOME a living life reality SCRIPTURALLY. Make Month September your SCRIPTURAL Month to be solidly rooted , grounded and built up on the ROCK which is Christ Jesus – THE SURE FOUNDATION, and not on the SAND that’s sinkable, destructible, shakable and untenable. Matthew 7:24-27.

The Month SEPTEMBER – the ninth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, can be summed up Scripturally in this wise to authenticate our SURE FOUNDATION grandstands:

* It reminds one of the Nine (9) Fruit of the Spirit for your Christian Faith CHARACTER, BEHAVIOURAL and CONDUCT enabling. Galatians 5:22-25; 1 Timothy 3:15.

*It reminds one of the Nine (9) Spiritual gifts of the Spirit to enable one to function in MINISTERIAL, SPIRITUAL and CIVIC life demands. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 27-31; Romans 12:1-8.

** The ninth month SIGNIFIES the complete of human GESTATION – complete time of BIRTHING a new life, a time to expect DELIVERIES; and since NINE means PERFECTION in a sense, it thus means in essence, a month of WHOLENESS and COMPLETENESS and FULFILLING and MATURING. 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13.

Therefore, in this Month September, know that you have All it takes to make BECOME in Christ Jesus because we’ve being given the SURE WORD OF PROPHECY to remain unshakeable and indestructible in all of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 2 Peter 1:19-21.

Therefore, make an intentional and conscious choice to ensure Scripturally, that the WORD of God works and it’s alive today, as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow as you live and build on THE SURE FOUNDATION – which is Christ Jesus, our Saviour and Lord. Amen.

Have an awesome and amazing month of grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 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 7:24-27.

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.
