STRUCTURAL CRACK
By PROPHET Dr. TB BONDERA
Neh.2.3 – and said to the king, “May the king live forever! Why should my face not be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire?”
In construction engineering, they use such terms as functional cracks and structural cracks on a building. A functional crack is simply a crack, which, while it is visible, is not considered structurally significant and does not compromise the integrity of the building. On the other hand, a structural crack is considered more serious since it usually emanates from the foundation and may affect the load-bearing capacity, stability, and safety of the building.
Similar comparisons can be drawn in our lives where both functional and structural cracks may develop, affecting our progress in life. Structural cracks are more dangerous and have more to do with family foundations, some of which were laid decades before we were born. Like Gideon, some of us were born into families whose fortunes and lives were built on foundations of Baal worship. Therefore, anything we try to build will not be able to stand strong because of the structural cracks in our foundations.
Nehemiah realised that all the success and luxury he was enjoying would remain superficial and temporary so long as there were structural cracks in his foundation. He, therefore, decided to come back to Jerusalem to fix his foundations.
This year, before embarking on any project, first examine your foundation and see if there are no structural cracks. If there are any, first rebuild the foundation to avoid compromising on the capacity, stability, and endurance of anything that you shall build.
TODAY’S MEDITATION
1Cor.3.11 – For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
