The teacher, Brother Ini Emmah opened by reading from Matthew 7:24-27 on the topic Building On The Spiritual Foundation. He explained that the doctrines of the Bible make up the word which is the foundation as seen in 1 Timothy 4:16 and 2 John 9. Precisely, salvation is the first foundation stone. Sanctification (referenced in John 17:17) is the second foundation on which to build. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the third foundation upon which to build our spiritual lives.
