Thus says the Lord, before I formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you. And so it is with a potter, he gathers his clay and purposes in his heart what he will mold it into, maybe a vase or a pot or whatever comes to his mind. He sets his wheel in motion and with deliberate attention and care, he shapes this mold until it takes the form he has chosen for it to serve the purpose it was made for. He turns up the heat to make it strong and to last longer. When it is ready he can add some color to further enhance its beauty. So also does the Father pick up our souls as clay and chooses for us a role to play and a purpose to fulfil. He places us in our mother's womb and with deliberate attention and care,shapes us into the desired form until we are born as humans. As we grow He sees us through several challenges and trials which makes us strong and courageous. Just when we think He's done with us, He adds beautiful colors to our lives giving it the beauty we desire. I will walk with Him, He knows me better than I think and even more than I know myself. Be still and see that the Lord has it all in His control. Many times we try to make things work the way we want when we want it, but soon realise that some things are just naturally beyond us and we have no power to subject such to our will and desire. At times like these the required is to hand it over to the King whose word formed all things and set a path for all things, He knows how to fix all things broken. A child cries not because he does not know what troubles him but because he is unable to express it any other way or do anything to help himself. When we find ourselves in such situation, take a chill pill and let Him do the impossible.
Have you seen one that has never fallen? Then he has never taken a step. The fear should not be of falling, but of not being strong enough to rise after your fall. Consider, how many times a child must fall, he must get back up each time if he is ever going to walk. Truly it is never a loss to fall, rather it is a lesson that there's also a choice to either lick the dust or shake it off as you rise and stride. Take pleasure in the errors of your trials, for in them are the blueprints of your success. Many a times life brings us to a position where we find ourselves bound and we become slaves to challenges, circumstances or even humans, but always have in mind that every great leader must first master the art of servitude in order to lead his followers in justice and fairness. There are recorded several who from being slaves made their way to become masters over even their masters. Joseph was sold into s*****y in a foreign land, but that was just God preparing him for his time to become leader over the same masters he served and over all the people of a foreign land. Daniel also from being a slave won the favor of the king through the wisdom and knowledge of God which he poured out on him to lead a people he has never known. In your time of servitude, give room for perseverance and longsuffering which builds faith and attracts favor. With God on our side, we are only slaves destined to own their masters. Trust in God and he will set you up as a standard and peoples from every nation will come to follow your lead even if just a moment ago you were but a slave.
It is written in the prophecies of a people chosen and sealed to inherit eternal life and rule with dominion in these dark and dangerous end of days. These are called the 144,000. These have been given authority to be kings and priests, and found without the mark of the beast which is unbelief. When man strays so far from the path, and wickedness and injustice takes root in the hearts of men, the Creator always keeps for Himself a remnant, through whom He shows His glory. In the beginning, Noah and his family were remnants, through them man was sustained and repopulated after the flood. These remnants are courageously bold like the young lad David who was the only one found in all Israel able to challenge, defeat, and he cut off the head of the giant Goliath, that uncircumcised philistine who defied the ranks of the most high God, using his own sword. These bow to no other gods like the three Hebrew men that would rather burn than bow to the image of gold, well they were able to turn the heart of the pagan king to bow to the only true God. These are the last of a dying breed, like the syrophoenician woman who would rather be called the dog that would rather eat the crumbs that falls from her master's table to get Jesus to heal her daughter, Jesus Himself confessed He didn't find such faith in all Israel. It is to such as these that it has been predestined to be healers and builders of a new world as the old world passes away in these end times. So why worry when you can pray? Stop for a second looking to mortals for help, deliverance, breakthrough, healing, all these come from God. Mortals by themselves are helpless even to themselves, but we have one who has power over all things,of Him all things are, and to Him all things belongs, even your quiet and secret desires. Why worry when you can praise? Has it not been said that even mighty walls come crumbling down at the majesty of praise? Let everything that has breath praise the Lord and say, Papa in heaven, all praise and adoration be to your gracious name. Your kingdom has come and your will is being done here on earth as it is being done in your heavenly throne, for you give us each day as our needs has demanded, you continually forgive our countless sins so as to reconcile us back to you, and have taught us also to always forgive others when they transgress us. You guide our paths so our feet is not caught in the evil snares that life tries to trap us in, and you deliver us from all evils. Behold, to you belongs all the kingdoms and you rule with your mighty right hand, power is what you are, glory is your garment, and it shall be so now and forever more, even until the end of time. And all His children say Amen, Hallelujah.
