Wake Up Call Message on Foundation Principles

 

📖 WAKE UP CALL: Daily Good News Message

TOPIC: FOUNDATION PRINCIPLES – YOU MUST D.I.G TO BUILD

INTRODUCTION: Building with God

"As co-workers in God’s service… you are God’s field, God’s building" (1 Corinthians 3:9).

This powerful truth reminds us that our lives are not random constructions — they are sacred projects. But every building must begin with two critical things: the ground and the foundation.

• Ground: Formed in childhood — early life lessons, examples, and experiences.
• Foundation: Set in adulthood — values, practices, and daily commitments.

Both must be carefully prepared, or the building risks collapse.

PROBLEM: Building on Unstable Ground

Many people today are struggling with emotional instability and mental confusion — and these, if not healed, create cracks in the spiritual foundation.

A weak start can hinder spiritual growth and even physical progress. We cannot afford to ignore our inner state — our ground must be stable, and our foundation must be sure.

CHALLENGE: Lack of Prior Information and Investigation

The reason many fall short is this: no preparation, no vision, no plan.

Without purpose, there’s no direction. Without direction, there’s no destination.

When we fail to D.I.G before building, we set ourselves up for failure:

• No Dream leads to confusion.
• No Information leads to ignorance.
• No Godliness leads to self-destruction.

SOLUTION: You Must D.I.G to Build

Let’s D.I.G:

• D for Dream & Development – What do you see? What are you willing to grow into?
• I for Information & Inventory – What do you know? What do you have in your spiritual storehouse?
• G for Godliness & Goodness – How do you live? Are you reflecting heaven here on earth?

How do we D.I.G God’s way? Let’s turn to the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7):

• Matthew 5 – Vision Keynotes: “Blessed are the poor in spirit…” – Sets a vision for the kind of life God rewards.
• Matthew 6 – Mission Keynotes: “Seek first the kingdom…” – Teaches how to live within God’s will.
• Matthew 7 – Objective Keynotes: “The wise man built his house on the rock.” – Emphasizes setting a firm foundation.

CALL TO ACTION

• Don’t just start life — build it wisely.
• Don’t just hear the Word — do it.
• Don’t just dream — develop.
• Don’t just know — act with goodness and godliness.

Foundation Principles are not optional — they are eternal. D.I.G now so you can build forever.
