Isaiah 64:8 (But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand).
Working on the existing plan is very easy and that is why I know that God can still make something good out of your life no matter how disappointed your life has turned out to be. Returning you to your originality is not a problem for God, but your willingness to submit yourself to the potter for remolding is where the problem lies. Only the potter knows your originality and only he can fix the damage that the enemies have done.
Jeremiah 18:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
The architect who designed the building knows exactly what he is expecting during the construction; if there is an error, he is the only one who can correct it properly. But if you take the design from him and mess it up due to carelessness it will require demolition for correction to be made and this has cost him time and resources but notwithstanding the most important thing is that the error has been corrected, and the building turns out to be an edifice that men will be talking about. In this context God is the architect of our destiny, the builder, and the potter; we are his building and he has the clay in his hand and can design whatever he wants. We are God's building and He knows exactly where each mortar needs to be and it will be a perfect fit. 1 Corinthians 3:9(For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building). Many are in trouble today because they have collected the plan from God and then denied him supervision and messed it up. God does not force himself on anyone except you invite him, he has given us the willpower to decide what we want to do with our lives. Revelation 3:20 (Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me).
Romans 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
God is able to do what he says he will do. The only problem is our ability to submit ourselves to him for remoulding. Many of us have resisted his will one way or the other and find ourselves in a serious problem. Maybe you have questioned him severally by resisting his will for you and now are stuck in one place and confused not knowing what to do next but I have good news for you, you can still get it right by submitting yourself back to the potter for remoulding and you will turn to be that edifice that men will see and glorify your father in heaven.
1 Corinthians 3:10 (According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ).
To be remolded, the foundation you need to stand on is Christ and that is why another opportunity is given to you right now to start your building afresh by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour.
PRAYER: LORD JESUS BE THE ARCHITECT OF MY DESTINY, LET ME BE CLAY IN YOUR HAND, MOULD ME AS YOU DESIRE.; THANK YOU JESUS.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
