FOUNDATION (UNLOCKING YOUR GLORIOUS DESTINY)

In this article, we shall critically look into the issue of foundation and its influence on people’s destiny. The greatest influence on anything that has a beginning is its foundation. It is simply the principle on which that particular thing draws its existence and strength.A strong foundation will surely guarantee a lasting structure in terms of withstanding pressure, and other militating factors. Foundation now; is the base on which a life stands. Without it, there is nothing, and a faulty one brings ruin. Psalm11:13, If the foundation be faulty, what shall the righteous do? The answer is also embedded in the scripture James 5:16… the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much. Once a child is conceived, or even before his conception, God has a destiny for such a child. This is a destiny of greatness, and prosperity. Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Like in the construction of a house, our parents are the first human contacts we have, therefore are saddled with the responsibilities of building our foundation; they are to channel our lives in the path we should go. Proverbs 22:6, “Teach a child in the way he should go and when he grows up will not depart from it”.

Some people‘s destiny have been botched by their parents through ignorance, and practices that are demonic. For instance what do you think will become of a child dedicated to a family deity at birth?

The foundation is the most important part of the human life, and must be critically checked for correction in the event of abnormalities in the life of an individual. It is impossible for anyone to fulfill destiny on a

wrong or faulty foundation because the foundation of a man has a direct impact in the life of that person.

A typical case study is the life of “honourable” Jabez. Jabez was a man with so much to offer, a man of honour so the bible says.

He was probably loved by many, and well appreciated. He had a lot of potentials, and displayed a lot of qualities that made him better than his peers. He was trustworthy, with great business acumen; people believed in his ideas and would always want to associate with him, but Jabez was a complete wreck. His life was a disaster!

A lot more people are like Jabez. People with great future, but are been denied of their inheritances due to some other person’s mistake or ignorance. If the foundation be faulty, let the righteous pray!

Jabez decided to pay his mum a visit; but this time a very unusual visit because of the motive behind it. His motive was to make a search into his numerous woes and failures in life. It is seldom said that, “a problem

known is half solved”. His mother told him the circumstances surrounding lures.his birth, and the part she played in keeping him in perpetual failure. She revealed speaking the wrong words into his life. She sewed the seed that had grown to challenge his destiny. Words are the pillars on which our destinies are built; words are spirit and has the capacity to either bring life or death depending on whose mouth there are coming from.

Jesus said; “the word I speak are spirit and life.”
