Good-Life Devotional: 

THE FOUNDATION STANDS SURE 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Matthew 16:18 "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. "

   The word 'prevail' in this verse of scripture is  the Greek word ' katischuō ' and it means to overpower . 

 For thousands of years Satan has tried to destroy the church through his agents and failed and will continue to fail because the church is a spiritual body founded upon an indestructible foundation. Jesus Christ is the builder of his church and we are co-labourers . 

   The foundation of God is steadfast, unwavering, and sure. Scripture assures us that God's foundation is immovable, providing stability and security for believers. In **2 Timothy 2:19**, the Apostle Paul declares, *"Nevertheless, the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his."* This verse reminds us that God's foundation is unshakeable, and He knows those who belong to Him.

God’s promises are built on His unwavering truth. In **Isaiah 28:16**, it is written, *"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."* This points to Christ as the cornerstone, the solid foundation on which we are to build our lives.

Jesus also emphasized the importance of building on a firm foundation in **Matthew 7:24-25**, where He said, *"Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock."* God’s foundation stands firm through all circumstances, offering refuge and strength to all who trust in Him. 

In our daily prayers we should seek to build our lives on God's foundation and ask for grace to overcome the temptation to do otherwise. 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome evil .
