THE FOOLISH BUILDER
David Abankwah
“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:
-Matthew 7:26 | NKJV
A wise person is someone who has Jesus Christ in his or her life. When someone says you are a fool, it is just an indirect way of telling you that, you are not having Jesus Christ in your life. After Jesus Christ was born, wise men came from the east to worship Him. A wise person worships and serves Jesus Christ. A wise person believes in the existence of God too. Psalms 14:1 says that: THE FOOL HAS SAID IN HIS HEART, “THERE IS NO GOD.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good -Psalms 14:1 NKJV. So if you don’t believe in the existence of God, you are a fool.
The world has a weird meaning of what foolishness is all about. But according to the Scriptures, it has another meaning of it. Now, who is that foolish builder? From the beginning of the universe, after God finished creating the heaven, He used that first day to create all hosts of heaven including angels before creating the earth. In Genesis 1:1, God had already finished creating the heaven and everything that were in it before creating the earth. Lucifer and his angels were all created on Genesis 1:1. But filled with lust, Lucifer wanted a position more than what God His Creator was having. He allowed his lust to control him to believe that there was no God.
He became foolish for thinking that he didn’t need God to control his life anymore. He rather needed to control God. Any foolish person doesn’t want to submit himself under God. Any foolish person doesn’t want the will of God to control him. Jesus Christ built the foundation of faith from the beginning but Lucifer started the foundation of doubt, lies, and double-mindedness in the lives of the angels and won one-third of them. Instead of Lucifer building on the rock of God, he founded himself as the father of sand. Because he founded himself as the sand, he was overthrown from heaven with the angels who built on him too, before man was created on the sixth day.
After Lucifer and his fallen angels were overthrown from heaven, they didn’t stop building foolishness. When God finished creating the earth on Genesis 1:1, Satan and his fallen angels started building formlessness, voidness, and darkness in Genesis 1:2. As God was busy building, Satan and his angels were busy destroying the creation of God. So if the earth became void, formless and dark, it was the work of the one who was a liar and a murderer from the beginning as seen in John 8:44. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.

Lift up prayers for deliverance from the spirit of foolishness that entices you to work out the building on the foundation of Satan in the name of Jesus Christ.
