Reflection: Power of the Right Foundation


By Olaogun Michael 


Bible Verse- Psalms 11:3

The rise or the fall of man or any nation is rooted in the attention given to its foundation. Foundation is the bedrock of every destiny. 

For better understanding, let us make a breakdown of the topic into three words that make it up.

Power: The ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way.

Right: morally good, justified, or acceptable.

Foundation: An underlying basis or principle.

With the understanding and combination of the three words above, the essence of life may be rightly defined. So the Right Foundation can simply be put as being deliberate at building a good platform for life's construction. 

If there is a Right Foundation, it means there is also a Bad or Faulty Foundation. However, choice makes the two so different.

Right Foundation should be applicable to all areas of life; education, marriage, health, governance, business etc. The essence of life is destroyed when the Right Foundation is not built. Building Right Foundation also is a function of time.

Example: A man of 30 or 40 years cannot wake up in the morning to say he wants to become a wrestler or runner. He will fail perpetually, why?; Such a path requires early life preparation at age 15 or 16 years. So if success must be attained in life, one must be deliberate at building a Right Foundation that can withstand such race and the test of time.

You can't lay a foundation for a duplex and then decide to build a skyscraper.  No!  It is not possible. In such a scenario, calamity is inevitable.

Note: Right Foundation is not what you wish for. It requires a high level of deliberateness. In whatever path you have chosen, if you want to emerge as a force, you must be ready to pay the very ultimate price by building a Right Foundation that others can even lean on.  

You must first count your cost!

There are several characters, dead and living who made good out of life because an RF was laid.

Example: Daniel, Joseph, Jesus, Mandela, Lee’ Yew,  Rockefeller, Kenneth Hagin, and many others. Why must your story be different?

What are the basic things that can help in building Right Foundation? 

They are:

 1. Strong willpower

2. Commitment to the knowledge quest

3. Positive mindset

4. Early discovery of purpose.

5 Seeking God's help among others

It is never too late to return to the drawing board to reset your thinking and reconstruct your foundation if you had it faulty. Your name must be mentioned in high places. Wake-up!

In summary, nature will count both those who succeed and otherwise. What will make a difference?; Right Foundation. See you at the top.

Remain blessed!

 By Olaogun Michael  No matter the agony on earth, Jesus shall come. No matter the enjoyment on earth, Jesus shall come. No matter your affinity with your family, Jesus shall come. No matter your wealth, Jesus shall come. No matter the betrayal, Jesus shall come. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?… Chorus: Are you washed in the blood, In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless?  Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Be a ready BRIDE. Jesus shall come again.

 By Olaogun Michael  By my definition, time is life and life is time. Life is the greatest gift God has given to all creatures. God our creator understands the importance of time in the scheme of things according to the book of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. In the time of creation, God spent time putting things in place for the benefit of man who was the last creature.  Unfortunately, of all the creatures of the creator, man which has dominion over all other creatures happens to be the one who has failed the purpose of its creation. Why? Because man has failed to use time effectively and judiciously. Time has the following features: pleasure, death, sorrow, happiness, success, failure, and so on. Most, unfortunately, time in its features has no recovery or backup. The latest technologies have in them backups, we make photocopies, we save on memory cards, we save on our emails and in our bank accounts but technology has never developed any mechanism to save time because time is MYSTERY!
