READ Jeremiah 18
Matthew 27:7-8 KJV
"7And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day."
When you read Jeremiah 18, you saw the potter working at his wheels. While he worked, a vessel he was making was marred in his hands and so he refashioned it into another. His refashioning it into another is what saves this vessel from joining other vessels who couldn't form where they're usually disposed. There's a portion or plot known as the potter's field. This field is where all work of art made of clay that couldn't become the hope of the potter are discarded. That is after they might have been found wanting as the clay itself may determine or turn out to be. If it's fashionable and yielding, it is safe.
Since a potter is a professional who uses clay to mould things into existence, it becomes of him to have the stretching ability of using clay to form anything. Despite this however, there will be clays that may be stubborn and not submit to be formed into a vessel. If he discovers that what he calls clay isn't clay enough, he may discard such work of art that he wrought but which couldn't form properly. So, such work of art are discarded to a land known as potter's field. It's like having a special place where you discard broken bottles etc. At this time, there's a place like that where all vessels that refuse to be formed are dropped. Not only that but also broken vessels or ones that are no longer needed.
Now, the Lord told me and I heard, "you, don't get to the potter's field". There will be ministers or Christians who will end on the potter's field. God has great plans for them to become vessels of honour in His great house but because of their making practices of sin and living contrarily to the very core of their consecration, they will find themselves as unusable but to be discarded to a place called the potter's field in reality. In the potter's field, if you take a walk there, you'll see so many vessels that once decorated the house and were the obsession of the master of the house and envy of visitors. Their time has elapsed and is over for them. These are minstrels and anointed men who were once on stage. They were once listened to and gathered around by men. But now, they have left the shelf of display to the potter's field where the feet only threads on them and says, "shame to you who couldn't concur". When you inspect carefully, you'll see vessels of clay that are yet to dry. These are the category that God was training to send but who begin to despise the training and discipline of God over their lives. Seeing they were these reprobate, God handed them to be sent to the potter's field. Once a vessel of clay or clay itself gets to the potter's field, it rarely finds its way back to the potter's house except on very few and uncommon situations when the master by mercy may need such vessel for a reason that only he (He) knows best. Today, God is coming for everyone who names the name of the Lord. The foundation of the Lord stands sure. This Father of ours that we must not take His generosity for granted knows those who are His. So, He's saying, "let everyone who names the name of Christ or claims identification with Him depart from iniquity." If not, one thing is the consequence even if such is an esteemed minister. He will end where others who couldn't form or were formed but were marred and not refashioned ended. He'll finish his race on the shattered, scattered, vulnerable and ugly potter's field where multitude of clay works resides who have failed to meet the Master's expectation. How I pray for you that as you confess your sins and turn from them, that mercy will locate you. Your heart will be changed so that you won't live habitually disobediently to God. Beware, the potter's field is real. It is carved for the rejected just like hell is created for all whose name won't be found in the book of the Lamb.
PRAYER: Lord, don't exclude me from your will. Grant me divine inclusion and another chance. Let your mercy find me. I am reinstated. A miraculous come back.
