*DATE: SATURDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER, 2019*
*TOPIC: THAT BUILDING CAN COLLAPSE! WATCH IT*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: 1CORINTHIANS 10:1-12*
On March 13, 2019, a 3-storey building located at Massey Street on Lagos Island, Lagos State, Nigeria collapse. The building housed a primary school among other things. Its collapse caused the death of 20 people, while many others were injured. About the time of that incident, another building collapse in another part of Lagos State, and the city of Ibadan in Oyo State, Nigeria.
Worried by these developments, the Nigerian Minister of Science and Technology set up an inter-ministerial committee to look into the causes of the collapse of these buildings. The committee headed by the Acting Chairman of the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NBRRI) came up with its findings.
It said. “The committee is of the opinion that the structure at Massey Street might have collapse as a result of the following: 1. The sandy nature of the soil with low bearing capacity. 2. Shallow foundation. 3. Weak concrete mix. 4. Low average comprehensive strength in the reinforced concrete and overloading of the building resting on a small area by converting the second floor into a school. On the collapse of the building in Ibadan City, the committee came to the conclusion that “the building collapse due to non-adherence to the building construction process, inappropriate/poor designs, hasty construction work, non-supervision of the construction work by professionals, and non-monitoring by the development control authorities.”
The other building in Lagos collapse according to the committee because, “the average comprehensive strength of the concrete was below the minimum standard.” What the Holy Ghost is saying is that, *You Must Understanding That The Buildings Once Stood But For Those Reasons Given, They Came Down Crumbling!* A family/business/ministry that is thriving can come crumbling down if one does not watch it. Lucifer was once so highly anointed as a cherub but was brought down. Pride brought down (Isaiah 14:12-15). Prophet Eli was once so highly anointed but was brought down. His inability to subject his children to discipline was his shame bus-stop (1Samuel 3:11-13).
Samuel suffered the same fate because of his inordinate love for women (Judges 16). Today’s scripture tells us what was responsible for the fall of many children of Israel in the wilderness. *I have seen and heard many fall from grass to grass. New things don’t bring people down; they are still those things we have always known – pride,* the love of money and inordinate fraternity with members of the opposite sex still bring many down! Verse 12 of today’s Word says, “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” I decree: Your life, family and ministry building will not collapse in disgrace in Jesus name!
*TODAY is USA TELEPHONE ANOINTING SERVICE WITH DR. CHRIS. TELEPHONE: +1-605-472-5752 and Access code is 805180. Time is 6am Central Time.*
*PRAYER POINTS:* Worship God in your natives dialet.
