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…..

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...

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1 Everybody has a desire and some desires glorify GOD, while some do not. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. Many get trapped by their desires. The LORD our GOD knows our needs, desires and expectations; we are to delight ourselves in the LORD, commit our ways unto the LORD so he can give us our desires. Psalm 37 vs. 4-5: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Many have desires that are against GOD’s will. Many have desires that will take the place of GOD. Many have desires that will lead to disobedience to GOD’s will. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 vs. 5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. There are imaginations and desires that will repel a man from GOD’s plan and will for his life. W...
