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…..

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
