1 Cor 3 : 11 - 13

"For other foundation can no man lay, than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay stubble: Every mans work will be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire, and the fire shall try every mans work, what sort it is".


A Master Builder bought a plot of land, in the best part of town, with the intention of building a private family dwelling. The building of such domicile began.

The Master Builder then decided to take a holiday.

He called in his manager to give him the news. "Take over the building of this home", he said to his manager, "my wife and I are taking a break, but we will be back in a few weeks".

His manager immediately grasped the opportunity. "Ah yes" he said to himself, "I will cut back on the standard/quality here and there, "and make a little profit for myself as we proceed".

The boss returned after a short while. "Well how are you doing" he said, "All is completed" said his manager. "Good said the boss, and here are the keys to this house, it is yours, I give it to you in appreciation of all your help over recent years"

We are building day by day as the moments pass away. A temple which the world may not see.

Every victory won by grace will be sure to find a place, in that building for Eternity

Amen Brother Stephen, Building foundation of gold, silver, precious stones,

and yes on that day it shall be manifested , whether we build on gold, silver, precious stones or of wood, hay stubble.

and our work shall be tested by fire.

God bless you
 
Thank you Stephen, I like the last bit of the scripture...every man's work will be tested or tried by fire....God is the refiner, we are made of different vessels some silver others gold...the big question is are we ready to be tested/ tried by the refiner? Thats what am asking myself, the process its not easy but its worthy.
