Our Lord Jesus Christ had His own foundational story but He did not allow it to dictate His destiny.

PROPHETIC WORD:The Lord shall destroy every evil foundation dictating your life.

HYMN –(CHRIST IS THE SURE FOUNDATION)

​OUTLINE​
A lot of the challenges we experience are due to our foundation. Some challenges also come from the Lord when we do not do what He tells us to do in the case of Jonah and the fish. Challenges can also come from the environment we live in or the association we belong, from our villages and hometowns.

Challenges can also come from our mistakes or past sins. Like the children of Israel in the book of Judges, each time they sinned and turned from the Lord, He would bring their enemies against them and when they repent of their sins, God would forgive them. In all, the challenges only linger because we allow it.

As Christians, we have not yet utilised half of the power God gave us. We are still calling the enemy sweet names and making lovely embracing faces to the enemy. The moment we get angry and face the devil with an angered spirit of enough-is-enough, he would pack his bag and leave.

The Bible says if the foundation is destroyed, what can the righteous do? Hence, we desperately and urgently need to break away from our foundation. There is no person who does not have a foundational story.

Even our Lord Jesus Christ had His own but He did not allow His foundation to dictate His destiny. He was born in a manger, luckily for Him, His parents knew the Lord so there were no idolatry rites performed for Him.

The idolatry rites performed for people in the olden days caused a lot of problems for them and their generation and it is only an aggressive prayer and fasting that can break away the relationship. The story of Gideon is a pitiable one. God already delivered him from his foundation. He was weak otherwise he would have faced the people when God instructed him.

When the angel told Gideon that God had chosen him to deliver the Israelites, he doubted the angel and asked for confirmation. When God told him to destroy his father's altar of baal, he could not do it by day and when God told Gideon that He had delivered the Midianites into his hand, he still doubted it. God had to confirm what he said to Gideon through a dream.

In fact God wanted to assure Gideon that the 300 soldiers He chose were nothing for him to deliver Israel with. After the Midianites were defeated, Gideon went to build an altar and married wife and had concubines. Today, many of us do behave like Gideon because of our faulty foundation.

​PRAYER​

​MORNING​
1. I break my destiny from evil foundational power, in the name of Jesus.

2. Foundational powers, waiting to manifest on the day of my celebration, be destroyed by the fire of the Holy Ghost, in the name of Jesus.

3. Thou power of the Most High, burn to ashes evil foundational powers affecting my destiny, in the name of Jesus.

​EVENING​
4. My destiny, hear the word of the Lord, arise shine, in the name of Jesus.

5. Every foundational power that has swallowed my destiny, vomit it by fire, in the name of Jesus.

6. Evey coffin constructed for my destiny, burn to ashes, in the name of Jesus.

7. Holy Spirit, do the work of deliverance in my life today, in the name of Jesus.
