Foundation on the Rock



Luke 6:47-49 NKJV
"Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great."



Whoever comes to Me...
Lord, it is You I want to come to.
Bring me into Your own labour through the power of the cross - John 4:38.
Bring me to a place of rest from all my own labour, knowing that without You, I can do nothing – John 15:5.
Keep me abiding in You so that I will bear fruit.
Keep me knowing that it is no longer I that lives but You living in me, labouring in me. 

And hears My sayings and does them...

Settle me at Your feet and grant me inner ears to hear You restating the full Gospel in my life.
Give me divine revelation of the full Gospel.
I want to lay hold on the truth and obey. Let nothing prevent me.
Let it be that You will speak once and I will hear You twice - Psalm 62:11.
Let Your kingdom come with power in me. Power belongs to You.

He is like a man building a house...

Thank You for the provision You have made for Christ to live in me.
Thank You for choosing me as a living stone to be built up into a spiritual house for You -1 Peter 2:4.
Don’t let me waste Your divine provision.
Help me to know that my only work is to believe.

Who dug deep...

I agree to take personal responsibility for digging deep into the Word of God.
Give me a meditative heart.
Open my understanding to the transactions of the cross of Calvary.
Let Your Word that is like a powerful fire and hammer, shatter all the tough layers blocking Christ from being revealed in me – Jeremiah 23:29.
Do not allow me to settle on a layer that is not the Rock.
Take me deeper. Take me to the solid rock, which is Christ. 

And laid the foundation on a rock...

Make me a wise master builder so that my work is not burned on that Day.

And he who heard and did nothing...

Check my connection point with You at the cross.
Remove any ‘earthy’ way from me.
Do not let my inner life disqualify me as a Kingdom Labourer.
Uproot any wrong or incomplete gospel from my life.
