THE POTTER'S HOUSE ENCOUNTER

"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". Jeremiah  18:6 

There is an ancient practice in Japan of fixing or mending broken things known as Kintsugi, meaning “golden joinery". It is the custom of repairing broken things with liquid gold, silver or lacquer dusted with gold to bring together the pieces of the fractured pottery. This process not only fixes the cracks but dramatically increases the value of the piece and makes it more beautiful than the original (Culled from Fox News, Meghan Howard, March 27, 2019)

The Potter's House encounter narrated in Jeremiah 18:1-6, reinforces the ability of God to turn every messy or hopeless situation around like the Kintsugi artists. God does not throw away any broken things, rather, He usually remodel them for His glory. For example, when Joseph was stripped of his coat of many colours and sold to Egypt, the fingers of God rescued and decorated him. He eventually became a Global agent of preservation and deliverance (Genesis 45:3-8). God also picked up Mephibosheth from the trash in Lodebar (with his torn garment of royalty) and remodelled him for the Palace's lifestyle of dignity (2 Samuel 9:1-13).

Friends, are there some broken things in your life today? Has anyone thrown you away like a piece of garbage because of those broken things? Then, may I inform you that, your crack is not too big for God to mend. In fact, God specializes in mending broken or cracked things (business, health, academics, marriage) that is placed in His hands (Jeremiah 18:6). Then, why not place your life in His hand by obeying the call of repentance now (Luke 5:32). Only then, can the Great Potter start His remodeling works of grace and glory in your life. And by the time God finishes, you would become a masterpiece of wonders in your generation.  

"I came not to call righteous, but sinners to repentance" - Luke 5:32

"Jesus heard about it and spoke up 'who needs a doctor:the healthy or the sick? I'm  here inviting outsiders,  not insiders - an invitation to a changed life, changed inside and out" Luke 5:31-32 (MSG )

Are you ready for the Potter's House Encounter of uncommon remodeling and beautification? Please join me to meditate on the lyrics of this wonderful hymn (below) titled: "God The Sculptor of The Mountains". 

"GOD THE SCULPTOR OF THE MOUNTAINS" by John Thornburg, 1993

  God the sculptor of the mountains,

God the miller of the sand,

God the jeweler of the heavens,

God the potter of the land:

you are womb of all creation,

we are formless; shape us now.

 

God the nuisance to the Pharaoh,

God the cleaver of the sea,

God the pillar of the darkness,

God the beacon of the free:

you are gate of all deliv’rance,

we are sightless; lead us now.

 

God the unexpected infant,

God the calm, determined youth,

God the table turning prophet,

God the resurrected Truth:

you are present every moment,

we are searching; meet us now.

 

God the dresser of the vineyard,

God the planter of the wheat,

God the reaper of the harvest,

God the source of all we eat:

you are host at every table,

we are hungry; feed us now.

I pray that the Great Sculptor will take you into His remodeling room for some breathtaking and amazing world-class beautification projects (spiritually, materially, maritally, financially, academically) before this month is over in Jesus name.
