THE POTTER AND THE CLAY

THE POTTER AND THE CLAY
Many a time people see themselves as what they are not. Many see themselves as wise, but are foolish in the sight of GOD. GOD’s foolishness is wiser than the wisdom of men. Many a time we do things and feel nobody knows or can see. Nothing is hidden under the sun and earth, for GOD sees all. The bible says in Isaiah 40 vs. 22: It is He that sitteth upon the circle of the earth and the inhabitants thereof, are as grasshopper; that strengthen out the heaven as a curtain and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. GOD sees all and know all things. A potter is one who makes pot and ceramics wares. A clay is a mineral substances made up of small crystals of silica and alumina. It is a material of pre-fired ceramics. A potter works with clay to make a ceramics wares. GOD is the potter, we are the clay. GOD is the creator and maker, we are his creation. He made us for a purpose and reason, but we don’t conform many a time to His purpose and will. Men see themselves as the creator themselves and exalt things above the creator.

             Furthermore, Isaiah 29 vs. 13 says: Wherefore the LORD said, forasmuch the people draw near me with their mouth and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the precept of men. The creator’s will is stronger than the will of men. Nowadays we don’t honor GOD from our hearts, honoring your creator is part of the purpose he created you. The hearts of men are far from the creator, many do lip services and eye services. It is high time we come back to the creator. The bible says wise men will lose their wisdom, those people that try to hide things from the LORD. They think the LORD will not understand. Those people do evil in darkness and tell themselves No person can see us. The bible says they are confused. They think the clay is equal to the Potter. You think that something made can tell the person that made it. You did not make me! This is like a pot telling its maker, you don’t understand. Are you confused? The Potter is not equal to the clay. The Potter told Jeremiah “As the clay is in the Potter’s hand, so are you in my hand”. It is high time we conform to the creator’s will and purpose. It is high time we return to the Potter for remolding. Jeremiah 18 vs. 3-4: So, I went down to the Potter’s house. I saw the Potter working with clay at the wheel. He was making a pot from clay, but there was something wrong with the pot. So the Potter used the clay again and he made another pot. He used his hands to shape the pot the way that he wanted it to be. We have fallen short of the Creator’s glory, something is wrong with us. It is high time we go back to the Potter, to reshape us into the way He wanted us. It is well with us…..

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE! Compliments of the season from this side of the world to you all!!! Knowledge of the Truth is back and better this year. And I pray this year shall be a favorable one for us all. The word Faithful means reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhering firmly to a rule. It means consistency. It means fidelity. As a wife, it is expected you are reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhere to your husband’s rule and command. Ephesians 5 vs. 22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD. The husband is in charge of his wife in the same way CHRIST is in charge of his body the Church. A submissive wife will be faithful without any conditions. She makes fidelity her watchword. A submissive wife obeys all her husband rule and command. A submissive wife is conscious of her wrongs. A submissive wife yields to authority (her husband’s). A submissive wife will always stand by her husband in thick and thin. A submissive wif

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS This is a very fascinating topic, dreams are not delusions. Many do think dreams are just fictions, some see as a normal way of life. Many do not take their dream serious which shouldn’t be, some see dreams as delusions, some don’t even dream, why some forget what they dreamt about. Dream is a medium in which GOD communicates with us, he communicates to us through vision, trance and also consciences, but we are discussing about dream. Although, many a time what you are thinking about before you sleep, you might see it again; but majorly it does not continue like that. The bible said in Job 33 vs 15: In dreams, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they lie on their beds; he opens their ears in time like that and gives them wisdom and instruction. That is just a picture of dream, everyone has a dream land; but some’s has been tampered with by the devil. A dream land is an avenue for dreams; GOD gives instructions to us in the dream, ju
