Dealing with foundational problems – Part 1

A lady married three men at different times and each died, leaving her in a confused state. When some people are about to enter their breakthrough, something terrible will happen and they will fail. Many people are struggling in life, today, and seeking for solutions to their sufferings, but all to no avail. What they do not understand is that their problems did not originate from them, but from their fathers. This is foundational and, irrespective of your righteousness, it will have its effect. Psalm 11:3 says; “If the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Foundation is the bedrock of your life. It refers to your origin, your root or your bloodline. Everyman comes from somewhere. When the impotent man from John 5:7 said: “I have no man,” he meant that they had abandoned him. Your root determines how far you can go in life and if it is negative and evil, you need to disconnect from it. There are certain facts you need to know about foundation.

First, foundation is invisible, but does exist just like certain experiences you might be going through are not visible, yet you see the manifestations. This is why it is difficult to deal with foundational issues.

Second, it is difficult to rise beyond the height of your foundation. If you attempt to erect a two-storey building on a foundation that is not well fortified, time and resources invested will be wasted and even lives will be lost because such a foundation cannot give the building structural stability it desires.

In the same vein, a lot of people are struggling in life, today, because their foundation cannot carry them forward, so, they crumble in everything they do. May God visit your foundation, today, with corrective measures that will take you to greatness.

The third fact is that whenever there is a crack on the wall, it is an indication of a foundational problem. Understand that repeated surface repair in such situation would be in vain until the foundation is revisited. Often times, the problems we face in life are like cracks on the walls of our destiny and some of what we do in the place of prayers is only patching or rubbing on the surface of the crack. You need to visit the foundation or else the crack will resurface. This explains why you pray over some problems and it disappears for about one or two and reappears. This process may repeat itself again and again and you begin to wonder what is wrong. It only subsided and will not stop until you address the foundation in the place of prayers.

Another fact is that foundational problems are such that follow you from the womb, at birth or infancy. May God visit every point of error in your foundation today in Jesus name.
