Foundation, Humility.

QT:
1 Corinthians 2 - 1 Corinthians 4

[1 Corinthians 2: 11]
11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

[1 Corinthians 4: 18 - 21]
18Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you. 19But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. 20For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. 21What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit?

The Lord Spoke to me in two specific areas. Firstly, Foundation. Are we taking effort to strengthen our foundation to be equipped thoroughly with the spirit? Are we taking effort to preserve what God has laid , the foundation of Jesus Christ?
Secondly, Humility. I could sense God speaking directly to me. I've been arrogant in certain ways and ought to change. And I chose the hard path , to not repent, thus resulting in what's "today" of me. I need to be humble and not let pride overwhelm me.
