GOD has no special interest in any race, class or distinction when it comes to issues that are relating to salvation, HE can deliver anybody not minding the past or present mistakes of such a person provided such person[s] displayed some high level of commitment towards obeying and listening to HIS given instructions. We often miss it when we begin to reason off hand about our capability to handle situations only to return blame to HIM after our failures. “House of Israel, can I not treat you as this potter [treats his clay]?”[This is] the Lord’s declaration. “Just like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, house of Israel. Jeremiah 18:6. We act as if we own ourselves or that we live in a world that we’ve made by ourselves. GOD is the maker of all things and so has the inalienable right to handle us or treat the world the way HE pleases, Jeremiah was one type in prophets that GOD relates with graphically so HE took him to the potters place and asked him to stay and observe. While he was waiting and watching, he noticed that the potter was using the clay of the same color, texture and size to produce different kind of shapes and sizes of pots and most interestingly the potter gathered one of the damaged pot in the course of producing and molded it into another different shape away from what it was originally, so HE asked Prophet Jeremiah, ”have I no right to mold the people of Israel into any size, shape or style even in the full knowledge of the fact that the same way this clay is in the potters hand, so are the people of Israel in my hands too”. If we understood the chemistry going on between the potter and the clay we will know that the clay had no other option except to yield to the desire of the potter, our submission to GOD must be nothing less than 100% if we must begin to experience HIS all-time presence. Limitation is of self not of GOD and that is the very reason why we as Christians are being discouraged from working by sight. It is not a matter of ability or strength rather it lies in submitting and obeying the word of GOD just as it is spoken, the clay has no powers nor any intention whatsoever to challenge any decision arrived at by the potter, finished or unfinished the clay shall always stay by the good decision adopted by the potter.  9 But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me.  10 So because of Christ, I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in catastrophes, in persecutions, and in pressures. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Cor 12:9-10 (HCSB).
world; Apostle Paul sure had an open soar in the leg that refused to heal and as a super Apostle, it is to The weaker we are in Christ Jesus, the stronger we appear in the outer body and before the eye of the him an embarrassment and he expects GOD to do something about it by way of healing urgently. But lo and behold GOD saw it differently because it does not lie in human strength to discharge HIS assignment. David saw Goliath as nothing; while others were running away from him he was approaching him with power from the inside and of cause got him killed and brought home the long awaited deliverance unto the people of Israel. Your present state of health, finance or any social appellation has little or nothing to do with the way GOD wants to relate with you unless you are not committed and dedicated to HIM. Without revelation people run wild, but one who keeps the law will be happy. Proverbs 29:18. Apostle Paul gloried in his state, David gloried in his strength, Sheldrake, Meshach and Abednego, Daniel name them, all gloried in their times and in their states because they came to the realization of the fact that their strength comes from the inside and therefore cannot be afraid or bothered for any reason at all. A genuine spirit filled Christian is a visionary leader, Vision is an abstract picture of what does not exist in the physical and it is the driving force behind any Christian journey. It keeps a child of GOD away from distraction, faithlessness and in focus disorder. Apostles of Jesus Christ of the old foreknew this much and built upon it to do much exploit in HIM. 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways.”[This is] the Lord’s declaration.  9 “For as heaven is higher than earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts .Isaiah 55:8-9 (HCSB). Following HIM can never lead you astray, Aaron was the elder brother of Moses, he knew the a topography of the desert place more than Moses but when he asked the Israelites to divert to a likely water log area, Aaron never interfered because he believed that GOD was in the lead. How we see things differ from GOD’s ways, what we owe him is our absolute trust, not our absolute ability or anything we might make out. No matter the challenge HE will still remain with you if you do remain with HIM. In my early days in HIS vineyard we were faced with accommodation problem for the church so we decided to raise fund, preparation was excellent, the right guest, right venue was sort so we had no reason to fear in fact we were congratulating each other but we forgot to pray that these guest be touched to drop the money that is needed. At the end we failed to raise the Money required. But in a none elaborate simple church service held in our place of worship we got much more than we ever expected. That is the reason why HE is no man and cannot reason or operate like man. 11 so My word that comes from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and will prosper in what I send it [to do].” Isaiah 55:11 (HCSB). It is important that a Christian re-aliased this fact and begin to rejoice in it. We pray in other to know the mind of GOD, claim HIS promises and run along with it. When a Christian is privileged to hear from GOD, fear will disappear because GOD will never disappoint. That is the great difference between HIM and other gods, sometime ago a brother in Christ was faced with a challenge that brought his faith in GOD into a serious trial, his sick [widow] mother was rendered homeless in a heavy rain storm that removed the roof of their house in the village. To make the matter worse this young man who has been faithful and committed in his assigned responsibility in the Church lost his job not quiet long, as he sat before me in council I got the confirmation immediately from the holy spirit of GOD that this was a pure test of his faith in Christ Jesus, so I Council him in line with that vision and he believed me. Weeks later while in his apartment alone one after noon a strange woman knocked at his door and as expected he attended to the woman and redirected her to the house where she was meant to be but this woman took delight in the way and manner he attended to her and returned after seeing her host to say thank you. In the cause of their interactions the woman discovered that he had no job so cards were exchanged. Unknown to the young man, that August visitor was married to an ambassador who is living far away in an oversea country and had requested that papers be made for him to meet up and start a readymade job, in addition a substantial amount of money was given to him to settle her mother, including fixing the damaged roof. This became the new story all over the place. HIS promises can never be short changed no matter the circumstance. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark, Gen 1:3-4 (BBE). Because HE has spoken weather and times will have no other choice than to obey, what GOD Said you will become must come to past no matter what even your enemy may think concerning it. If it will not happen then it will not be spoken of in the first place, this is the hope that produces our faith in HIM.  13 For it is God who is the cause of your desires and of your acts, for his good pleasure. Phil 2:12-13 (BBE) He knows our needs and does never hesitate in giving it to us unless it is established that we have issues with our righteousness in HIM as HE will never allow what is prepared for men’s consumption be passed unto dogs. 13 And he put out his hand to him and said, it is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away his disease went from him .Luke 5:13 (BBE). The power of GOD is reliable, it is also infallible. What HE makes, HE made, He does not make excuses neither does shift blames. If any man dares come to HIM with pure hearth then that one is in safe hands. DO YOU NEED HIM IN YOUR LIFE NOW, Irrespective of the challenge[s] before your very eye. Maybe your case is beyond human comprehension, there is hope if you will obey and say this simple prayers; O! LORD MY GOD, I HAVE RETURNED BACK TO YOU HAVING GONE ASTRAY FOR SO LONG, FORGIVE ME MY SINS AND CLEANSE ME OF ALL MY INQUITIES, CAUSE YOUR SPIRIT TO INDWELL IN ME FOREVER IN JESUS NAME. CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE NOW IN CHRIST BUT ONE MORE THING, PLS. IDENTIFY WITH A BIBLE BELIVING CHURCH NEAR YOU.
