PROGRAM 3: BENEFITS OF FOUNDATIONAL TRUTHS.*
*1. Foundations are boundaries.*
?? A boundary is the place that limits you to a certain sphere. When you understand the foundations then you will easily understand specific boundaries.
Foundations will determine your habitation.
For example when we say Jesus is the son of God, any truth that contradicts that however much higher it may be is disqualified simply because it doesn’t agree with the foundation.
?? All truth and depths have to agree with the foundation laid. John the apostle said that these things were written that we may believe that Jesus is the son of God. This means that all that he wrote was to the end of many believing that Jesus is the son of God making it one of the foundations onto which our faith is built.
??So foundations define our boundaries.
*2. They will determine how high you ascend.*
?? To build higher, it will depend on how deep your foundation will be. The deeper the foundation, the higher the house can go.
?? Luke 6:48 KJV He is like a man which built an house, and *digged deep,* and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
?? The wise man dug deep because he knew how high his house would go. If you attempt to go high without a sure foundation then your building will surely sink into the ground.
?? So if you really want your house to go high without sinking then you better dig deep because when your foundation is deep and strong then your house will not sink in due time.
?? The higher you go, the weight increases hence the need for a strong foundation to hold the weight of the house. We increase from glory to glory meaning we will always need a stable and strong foundation to hold our increase in height.
?? That’s why we spend more time understanding the foundation truths concerning every area of our lives because it gives us a glimpse of how high we can ascend.
*NOTE: The higher you go, the higher you will see because height determines vision.*
*3. They will also determine how wide you stretch and build.*
?? The width of a house will depend on the width of the foundation laid.
Have you ever seen a house whose walls are built outside the foundation? Of course not. It’s against the law of building. The wall has to be placed on top and within the foundation, not outside the foundation.
?? You can’t widen the house beyond the width of the foundation. This means that if you want to widen your house then the first thing is to widen the foundation of the house.
The walls are all supported by the foundations. The wall has to be build within the sphere of the foundation.
??So foundational truths helps us to determine how wide we will spread.
*NOTE: Width determines your spreading. You spread sideways.*
While Increases in height is giving you vision, width is helping you to spread your influence like a tent hallelujah glory to God.
?? So all of those need a strong and wide foundation. How wide is your knowledge concerning the things of this earth? How high is your knowledge stretching forth concerning the things of both the earthly and heavenly?
