*DANGERS OF BUILDING ON SAND*


*By Pastor E O  23 July 2025: Share*

SCRIPTURE: 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 7:27*

*According to our Lord Jesus Christ, every house built on sand by a foolish man, will not withstand the effect of rain, floods and winds.*

*What does it means to build upon the sand?*

*(1)* It is building without Jesus as the Foundation.

*When a relationship is built on the love of money, such relationship is built on sand.*

*(2)* When the house is built contrary to the Word.

*(3)* When the house is built on Falsehood, lies and deceit. 

Gehazi built his Ministry on falsehood, he built it on  sand - *2 Kings 5:25-27*

*What are the dangers inherent in building on sand?*

*(1)* A great fall.

Whatever that is built on sand, will experience a great fall.

*The Ministry that Judas Iscariot built three and a half years crumbled before his very eyes.*

*(2)* A great loss.

When the house falls, the builder suffers a great loss.

*(3)* Sorrows and Pains.

Whenever a man suffers loss, he will be overwhelmed with sorrows and Pains - *Job 21:17*

*(4)* Untimely death.

The sorrows and Pains of loss, may drive a man into Untimely death.

Judas Iscariot died untimely by committing suicide because of the sorrow and Pain of lossing a relationship - *Matthew 27:5*

*(5)* Eternity in hell.

The most dangerous aspect of building contrary to the Word is ending the journey of Life in Hell - *Revelation 21:8*

*Prayer:*

Father, Please keep me from experiencing a great loss, help me not to build on sand in Jesus Christ Name.

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                           *MAINTAIN GOODWILL AND KIND-HEARTEDNESS* *By Pastor E O Gabriel  11 August 2024:Share* SCRIPTURE: But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. *Luke 10:33-34* *The Scripture has made it clear that God is Love (1John 4:8). And in the beginning, God created the earth. It means, in the beginning, Love created the earth. So, the earth was created by Love and it is meant to be operated by love.* •Unfortunately, we live in a generation where many people are bankrupt of love.  •It is important, therefore, to understand the major principles of love, that is, what love is all about.  •N...
