THE WORLD AND ITS CRISES
David Abankwah
And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
-Matthew 7:27 | NKJV
After Satan and his fallen angels tried to destroy the earth on which they were overthrown to, it was the Spirit of God and His Word that brought about separation and illumination. All the world has to offer you is voidness, formlessness, and darkness. If you don’t have God in your life, then you are wasting your time. No one who has ever neglected God will ever have peace for his soul here on earth and hereafter. If you don’t have God in your life, all your life will be directed towards what is void, what is formless and what is dark. Don’t allow yourself to be controlled by the ways of Satan and his fallen angels because they don’t have a better end for you here on earth and hereafter.
When the foolish builder and his cohorts were done with the mission of causing a stir in Genesis 1:2, the foolish builder came to the Garden of Eden to cause another stir of foolishness. He again used his sandy foundation of lies to disorient, disengage, and dislodge the foundation of rock in the lives of Adam and Eve. He became a liar when he told Eve that when she eats from the forbidden tree she would not die. He again became a murderer when his sandy foundation led to the spiritual death or separation of the souls of Adam and Eve from God. What the world is offering is a lie that is bound to separate you from God. All the foolish builder has to offer is deceit and spiritual death.
So if you follow the system of the world thinking that when the world changes, you too must change to suit it, will not end you well. Note that the foundation you are building on, is sand. As there are crises in Christianity, there is also crises in the kingdom of darkness or the world. Peter got restored because his building was on the rock, but the building or life of Judas Iscariot fell a heavy fall because his building was not on Christ who is the rock but on the sand – the devil. Thinking he could follow the world (money) and have prosperity, he didn’t know he was leading his life along the thread of the crises of a dangerous death. He hanged himself and died a painful death.
The same rain, flood, and wind that blown against the house founded on the rock was the same rain, flood, and wind that blown against the house founded on a sand. Many believers go through crises thinking they are the only ones facing those things. Sometimes they envy the prosperity of sinners but they don’t know the crises the souls of such sinners are going through. Instead of facing crises in the kingdom of darkness, it is better facing it in the kingdom of light or in Christianity. When you build your life on sand (Satan or the world) you will go through many crises on this earth and hereafter. After you die, your soul will suffer an eternal agony in the lake of fire.

Lift up prayers for the kingdom of God to come for those who don’t know Jesus Christ so their burden of sin can be lifted off their heads in the name of Jesus Christ.
Quote
There are crises in Christianity and there are crises in the world. Why don’t you choose to face the rocky former and reject the sandy latter?
