FOUR PILLARS ONE FOUNDATION
We hand God our emergencies — and we keep our decisions.
There is a prayer most believers never think to pray, and it may be the most important of all: "Lord, order my steps before I take them." We will fast over a fever and forget to pray over a move. We agonise over a crisis, and choose a life's companion on a feeling. Yet it is not mainly our crises that shape our lives — it is our decisions.
Four decisions, more than any others, determine the course of a life: where we are formed, where we are planted, whom we are joined to, and what we are sent to do. Learning. Place. Covenant. Calling. And most of us make them the way the world does — by what seems right — and never once bring them to God.
In FOUR PILLARS, ONE FOUNDATION, Apostle Kolawole Emmanuel Olakunle calls the reader back to a better way. Not the anxious hunt for a hidden plan, but the unhurried walk of a child who trusts his Father to guide him. Anchored wholly in Scripture — and lit by the lives of Joseph, Esther, Solomon, and Timothy — this book sets Jesus Christ as the one Foundation on which every pillar of a fruitful life must rest.
Above all, it is a book that lifts the burden of fear rather than adding to it. It will never tell you that one wrong choice has doomed your destiny. It will show you a God who guides those who ask, redeems what the years have broken, and raises up the ruins — for "a man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps" (Proverbs 16:9).
Inside, you will learn how to —
- Be sure of the one Foundation, Christ Himself, before you build anything else
- Seek God in the four great decisions of life, without fear or superstition
- Discern His guidance through His Word, godly counsel, and the peace that settles a surrendered heart
- Rebuild foundations the years have damaged — by grace, and not by striving
- Guard your life against slow drift, and finish your course faithfully
- Hand a living faith to the generation that comes after you
Whether you stand at a great crossroads, are raising a family, are rebuilding after regret, or simply long to finish well, this book will steady your hand and lift your eyes to the Rock that cannot be moved.
Stop building on assumption. Begin building on grace. Your next great decision is coming — build it upon the one Foundation.
