Faulty foundation in anything, being it marriage will send a crack that can hardly be corrected; it will only lead to collapse or demolishment.
Foundation according to the new international Webster’s comprehensive Dictionary of the English Language (Encyclopedia edition) is, “The act of founding or establishing that on which anything is founded and by which it is supported or sustained, or a structure upon which a building or a machine is erected. Usually wholly or principally of masonry; that part of a building below the surface of the ground, or the portion that constitute a base; sometimes, a platform, on which the upper portion rest.” The foundation of the secular system of knowledge or whatever philosophical idea runs on the freemasonry ideologies to stir up chaos, being it the womanistic movement of independence or the ideology that men are the boss and must not submit to a woman. The freemason sees themselves as the enlightened ones controlling the affairs of the society of human existence.
I am not going into a detailed explanation of what foundation is but permits me to define foundation from my own nonprofessional’s point of view, having seen with the Webster’s Comprehensive Dictionary’s eye, as the basic origin dug down deep or shallow, wherein the basic blocks that hold the building of whatever kind. Do you know you are a building? If you will forget anything, do not forget “BASIC ORIGIN”.
Life began with God, but a distortion of life began with the basic origin that acted contrary to the ordained thought order of God. If the contrary of the ordained thought order of God is the devil, it then implies the ordained thought order of God is a man who supposedly should have been found on the divine origin, not the basic origin. The divine origin is God, while the basic origin is Satan. Satan brings in the option of good and evil and leaves us with the chance to choose and your choice will determine your destination. You need to know that it is not in us to know to choose the right thing, but in God who already knows what is right from what is wrong, that must lead us to choose the right thing. The act of depending on God is what I call truth, while the act of choosing that which God wants us to choose to keep us away from the evil one, and is what I call obedience, which is better than sacrifice.
I can now boldly state to throw more light to the revelation of what I see foundation to mean. If the good foundation is LIGHT that answers “YES” to good, but “NO” to evil, then the evil foundation is “DARKNESS” that answers “NO” to good, but “YES” to evil to make faulty the building (thought orientation of man i.e. belief) that is being laid. Therefore, the two foundations are:
1. Light (THE ROCK) and
2. Darkness (THE SAND)
Genesis 1: 1- 3
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light. And there was light.
Matthew 7: 24- 27
Therefore, whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the flood came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the ROCK. “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 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
Did you read, “For it was founded on the ROCK”? This defines foundation and foundation is simply upon which something stands or rest. The right foundation is the ROCK, while the wrong or faulty foundation is the SAND.
Who is the builder?
I want you to know that foundation here defines the origin of home or the platforms on which there is a structural program where which God is the Architect, the man is the engineer and the wife is the builder, scripture will clear your doubt, so keep your argument. Foundation is the platform on which the family blocks stands and children are the building, while the parent is the building blocks. Permit me to begin properly on this note:
Proverbs 14: 1
The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her hands.
What does the above scripture explain? It simply explains that a wise woman is that woman that fears the Lord and has the wisdom to develop a peaceful setting for family nurture. I discovered the major problem with a foundation that is meant to be good would only set in when secrets become the drive of the builder, such that fake materials are dressed to look original and used to build, but in the end never last as supposed. Any woman or man who has hidden secrets from his/her spouse is destroying the home. A foolish woman can pull her house down with her mouth seasoned not with grace and truth. I mean if a woman is not submissive and has the loose character of ever insulting her husband, such woman is not a home builder. The control, a man who cannot control his anger will end up demolishing his home with violence when the woman is not submissive, but full of insults and ever nagging and never contented with good. When a woman is secretive in her marriage, she already has handed attention and with divided attention, commitment to the course of the marriage is seemingly impossible. When you have divided attention, you will not even know that your marriage will suffer at the experience of whatever your secrets are. Foolish women are deep and demonically demonic even without knowing, being under an influence of their lusts passion, and foolish men are deeper and could be diabolically diabolic.
When you don’t control anger as a man, it will devil drive you to sin and this could present you wrong even when you are right, therefore, do not be pushed to the level that your anger will lead you to sin.
If you are hurt and angry, as a wise man, be moved with love and compassion always for whoever has hurt you, even when such a person’s attitude seemed unbearable, remember, Jesus still bore your sins. Hmmm! With this, my weakness manifested as I have failed twice in my marriage.
Two things that can completely ruin a beautiful home are insults and anger and the insults could come from either the woman or the man, but anger becomes much more deadly when expressed by the man, but some woman’s anger is exceedingly more dangerous as they can do anything provided their mind is made up.
When you marry insults and anger, you will have disaster as the offspring.
The devil could through a woman use insults to provoke you as a man to anger, even beyond forbearance and at this point, a man could be a very good man, but given to anger will paint and portray him evil when the anger is not controlled and it leads to sin (beating, insulting, cursing, etc.)
We get things twisted when we think the foundation of our problem is our family background or our very root. The truth is, with the foundation destroyed, “What shall the righteous do?” but we will get to see what the mind of God is and what the foundation truly means.
Psalm 11: 3
If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
If the devil wants to destroy a foundation, he uses his satanic trick to hide vital information regarding the truth that we need to know to set us free. The moment we have no access to the truth, we live in ignorance with the wrong orientation about life. When we live in ignorance (wrong orientation about life), we will end up hurting our loved ones so much, to the point that they could fight back in anger to revenge or curse us for hurting them unduly and this could create a chain of discord that could last for generation to generations if not corrected. If there is a problem in marriage that leads to separation and with it not properly handled, it could become generational if you do not completely uproot the root of the problem.
