“Anybody wey dey listen to these My words and dey do wetin dem talk go be like wise man wey build im house on top rock. Rain fall, flood come, and wind blow beat di house. But di house no fall; dem don build am strong on top rock.” Matthew 7:24-25
After this passage wey dey above, we hear about another person wey build im house on top sand. Wind and rain come, and di house fall. Di difference clear well-well, and e go make anybody see say to build your house on top solid rock better pass.
Di house na your life. And di simple question wey e bring be say, how strong I be? How strong I be to face di storms, hardships and crosses wey must surely come my way?
When life easy and everything dey go well, we fit no need plenty strength for inside us. When money plenty, we get plenty friends, our body dey well and everybody for our family dey live well with one another, life fit sweet. And for that kind situation, life fit even easy. But na only few people fit pass through life without facing any storm. When storm come, e dey test di strength wey dey inside us, and we go need to stand strong for wetin we truly believe.
For this story wey Jesus tell, di rain, flood and wind wey beat di house na actually good thing. Why? Because dem give di foundation of di house chance to show how strong e stand. Na so e still be with us. Na our faithfulness to God Word must be di foundation of our life. You believe God Word? You don think deep about am, study am, take am enter your heart and allow God Word become di foundation of your life? Jesus make am clear say na only when we listen to His words and do wetin dem talk we go get solid foundation.
Today, think deep about how firmly you believe everything wey Jesus talk. You trust every word wey He don talk? You believe Him reach to depend on His promises, even when you dey face di biggest challenges for life? If you no sure, then today na good day to give yourself afresh to dey read His Word with prayer. Everything wey He talk for Scripture na true, and na those truths we need to build strong foundation for di rest of our life.
Lord, help me make I listen to Your words and do wetin dem talk. Help me make I believe Your promises and trust You even when di storms of life seem very strong. Jesus, na You I trust.
