Foundation For Future

Man was not created for a consumer relationship where he prays and cries for his needs, gets what he wants and then goes his way. Man was created for God; to spend time with God. To live in fellowship with the Creator. 

Adam was instructed not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eating from the tree meant separation from God and a life apart from God leads to destruction and death. God created us in such a way that man and all creation cannot survive without the Creator. 

Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.

Man showed independence and tried to live a life apart from God, but after that all of creation was cursed. Everything goes into an imbalance in a bid to live a life without God and that is how the earth is getting destroyed. An example is the tower of Babel. They tried to build against the will of God, almost as if competing with God. All God did was bring  confusion in their language and they failed. 

Whereas if God is with a person, he is successful in all that he does. Samson killed people with the jaw of a donkey. 

Several families don't see a change in their situations because they don't rely on God, because they don't have a proper prayer life. Not a religious or routine daily prayer but a personal, alone time with the Lord. 

Matthew 6:6
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Proverbs 13:20
Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.

Psalm 133:1-3
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

There is beauty and strength in unity. While we can pray at home, there is strength in community and fellowship. There is anointing , impartation and fullness of the Spirit in fellowship and unity.

Many people trust more in traditions than in the Word of God.

Mark 7:8-9
You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.” And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!

Jesus challenged the people as they replaced God’s Word with traditions. We can't teach those who are not teachable and receptive. For our life to change, we must take certain decisions, that we want to be blessed and we want our life to change. Even in the church, we may see human failings, division, sin, etc, but we mustn't look at humans or traditions but at Jesus.

We must choose life and leave death, choose blessing and leave curse. Some people may never read the Bible and so seeing us live our lives could be their only chance to know Christ. Let us live as the Word instructs, as Jesus lived.
