The Builders Cornerstone

 

Text: 1 Peter 2:6-7 (KJV)

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold I lay in Sion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner.

Friends, they may not see or accept the beauty of your product at first sight, but the truth is that your content and glory will still shine even when it is currently hidden. But in our text of today, the stone which the builders rejected ended up becoming the chief cornerstone. For instance when gold is not refined might not be valued for relevance, but after several processes of passing though mining fire it becomes desirous and very expensive. Therefore, we must not forget who we are in Christ as a royal priesthood, chosen generation, even precious in the sight of God, so you can’t be depressed by the world standard of rejection. Matthew 21:42- Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing and is marvelous in our eyes? Cheer up and don’t accept man’s rejection because you are marvelous in God’s sight.

Frankly speaking, it is normal to get rejected, but it is not good to dwell on that rejection because there is a hidden beauty that is about to show forth, so embrace it today. Psalms 118:22- The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. Remember, God has appointed beauty out of your ashes and oil of Joy in place of mourning, so you can’t end in shame despite your rejection and desolation experience. The gold in you will soon be valid that you end up becoming the chief cornerstone. Rejoice in God because we shall not suffer disapproval by men at all.  And you shall become a basement of reference to your world because Jesus is that solid foundation of our lives in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.Father, help us to stay plugged and knitted in Christ who is our firm foundation and we shall not see rejection, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, there is a mark of favour and oil of attraction that swallows neglect.
