He can use you too!

“Then I went down to the potter’s house, and behold, he was working at the wheel. And the vessel that he was making from clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he made it over, reworking it into another vessel as it seemed good to the potter to make it.”

Jeremiah 18:3-4

The potter patiently works the clay, tenderly molding its shape. In the same manner, God patiently directs our lives, seeking us to fulfil His will. It takes time to make a worth-while product, and God is willing to wait. Man is the clay and life is the wheel. The greatest quality of clay is that it yields. As it yields in the hands of the potter it can become something of great value. If the clay fails to yield it becomes marred. Disobedience hinders the work of God in our lives. God's plan for us can be spoiled by our own disobedience. The same is true of a nation, a church, or a family. No greater damage can be done than that of an unyielding life.

There were notable people in biblical days that became marred in the process of making, they turned back to God with their whole heart and God used them. Noah got drunk, Jacob lied, Moses murdered, Rahab was a prostitute, David had an affair, Peter denied Christ thrice, Paul killed many Christians, Jonah disobeyed and escaped, Solomon, the wisest man on earth had 700 wives and 300 concubines, not to mention, but a few.

A man who refuses to yield to the will of God has already made himself a vessel unto dishonour. Has God being speaking to your heart to do certain things for Him, to lead a soul to Christ, to restore the lost hope in an environment and you’ve been withdrawing, giving one excuse or the other. The Bible says, if these do not glorify Me, immediately stones will rise up in their place. May we not be replaced in Jesus’ name.
