This is a continuation of the my previous exegesis of foundation which has been a major reason why many of us are struggling with our Christian lives. Lets demystify the topic and get the understanding to grow from henceforth. My humble request is for you to read with understanding and meek heart so that you can grasp and behold the truth that lies in this text.
THEME VERSE: ISAIAH 28:16
Therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone,
A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed.
He who believes in it will not be disturbed.

There is no great or tall building that can survive the test of time without proper standard foundation. The strength and stability of a building depends on how strong its foundations are.
"You can't build a great building on a weak foundation. You must have a solid foundation if you're going to have a strong superstructure." by Gordon B. Hinckley. As such the importance of foundation cannot be undermined.
Growing up, i realised that the poor students kept on becoming poorer in class as the years goes by whiles the brilliant ones understood every new concept in class. It got me to question why this phenomenon was so and my findings led me to the fact that; they did not have solid foundations in those subjects. Likewise the extend to which a Christian can grow depends on the foundation that he/she has. A Christian with a strong foundation will be able to understand different concepts of Christianity and grow to a higher realm. They will be able to pray, grow their faith, survive temptation and live a good Christian live.
As such, it is imperative that we give our Children a godly training to establish a strong foundation for them before they grow up. Christianity is a growth process where you are made anew and you live a Christlike life. But today, many has become church goers with no Christ actions in them. Their foundations were not established and has led to a lot of hypocrites in the System.
These people cannot grow to live a life of fulfillment. They are swayed away by any wind of deception.
Jesus Christ, our solid rock was tested in every kind of temptation yet was able to withstand (Heb 4:15). He knew the task ahead and so even at the age of 12 spent time in God's house. Think about it, where do you position your kids?
I observed a young beautiful girl growing in a church. I realized that, this girl was always dressed in a very short skirt. I felt so sad within because I knew she will grow up to dress in like-manner. If the foundation is right, the building will definitely serve its purpose. One day you will reap of what you started with.
May any negative foundation be broken and strong one set in place in Jesus name. Amen.
We need a strong foundation in the Lord that the devil may not easily sway us
