FORM OR ELSE! - Use Me Series 002
READ Jeremiah 18:1-10
Jeremiah 18:3-4,KJV
"3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it."
Form or else! It is not a threat. So, don't see it as one. Let your perspective be straight. Regard it as a warning rather; for if you don't form, it has consequences. There are two destinies that await clays that won't form or vessels that get marred. The word "destiny" tells you of destination also. That is, where they may end their existence. In today's reading, the vessel the potter wrought on the wheels was said to mar in his hands. A marred vessel is a broken, spoiled or destroyed one. Such vessel could go either the road of the potter's field or the road of refashioning and then find usefulness in a great house. Those two destinations are so sure. That is why it is better to form at once because of the road of the potter's field that we have experiences and testimonies of many having gone. If while making a vessel, it mars, the probability is very high that the potter may discard it to begin working on a new clay to form a new vessel or same like unto the one that didn't form. Substitution is a reality! Do you know after moulding a thing into a vessel, it takes effort returning it to clay to use to remould? That's why if you enter the potter's house, you may see a lot of incomplete and spoilt vessels. They may tarry at the potter's house but he may consider discarding them one day to clear the house. Meanwhile, that of this vessel is different. This vessel witnessed a great come back. Repentance is key if you want the chance of great come back. The onlookers that watched the potter at his wheels were anticipating the discard of this marred vessel as one that has refused to yield. They're awaiting the potter to declare him unwanted any longer and send it to the circle of those who couldn't make it. However, a witness given us is that the potter refashioned it into another vessel as it seems good in his eyes to do. Here, the potter manifests indeed why the vessel is in his hand. He exercises a kind of dominion on it. Thank God it was the positive one. Herein is the blessing. May God call you too back. May you witness reinstatement. When it seems you're going or gone in the sight and calculation of onlookers and the devil, may you be drawn back. Look at the reappearance of that vessel. It came back another vessel as the potter dims fit. My prayer is just that after you're recovered from having being spoilt (by sin and works of darkness) and you're reinstated, you'll still come as a vessel in the category of honour God previously intended for you since it's possible for the vessel that is reformed to be of lower grade or use to the one the potter previously intended it to be. May your having proved unfaithful at first time not lower your grade as it had proved the reality of many anointed vessels in this life.
PRAYER: In restoration, let me come back as a whole vessel. Mercy of God!
