"My discovery so far about the strategies used by God in choosing his instrument for impact amazed me. Why? He always chooses the unexpected. Permit me to use the word or you call them the weak, the fearful, the oppressed, the neglected. Why? They are raw materials"
Remember, he called Jeremiah “the Prophet unto this nation”
and who was Jeremiah? a young boy, he (Jeremiah) identified himself to be a
child. He called the coward Gideon who couldn’t withstand the enemies’
oppression “a mighty man of valor”; David a one-time shepherd was anointed to
be king; what about Moses, the run away at the backside of the desert was
pronounced by God “the Deliverer of the Israelite”. What an awesome father.
Don’t forget about the fishermen, the tax collector, the bystander and the
persecutor who he made his disciples and saw a great apostle in them.
Reader, we are just a raw material, no wonder the
scriptures called us his work piece and another named us a clay in the potter’s
hand. We are in the processing stages to become what he has in plan through us
for this generation.
Just like in the hand of the sculptor, there are stages of cutting to size and peeling of the weak back, the stage of chiseling and hammering, the smoothing stage to ensure rough portions are removed followed by the polishing and painting stages until we become ready for the master use.
A sculptor sees so
differently. They say Michelangelo used to walk around a block of marble for
days, just walking around it, talking to himself. First he would see things in
the rock; then he would go and take them out. When the world dumps and rejects
you, you land on the garbage heap of the world, God walks along and picks you
up. He looks deep within you and sees a person of great worth.
When God looks at you, He sees things that everybody
else ignores.

We
got an assignment to reshape, root-out and pull down, throw down, to build and
to plant but we must allow him NOW to remold us to bring the best out of us.
Remember whatever the scripture has called or pronounced us to be and aren’t
manifesting now doesn’t imply there is a mix up somewhere but he is working on
us from his sculpting workshop. Get ready because the time to ACT is NEAR.
“A prophet unto this nation” was his plan for us, a
prophet in all fields
