THE RAW MATERIAL BEING BROUGHT TO THE INDUSTRY

JEREMIAH 18:3, 4. Then I went down to the potters house , and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 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
2

good to the potter to make it

The prophet Jeremiah went down to an industry of clay works to see for himself of what transpires in it :

God had said` Arise and go down to the potters house The Bible tells us that upon reaching there he saw;

The potter. The wheels. Finished clay pots. Marred clay pots. Water jars. Soil. Wet clay that was ready for processing. Counter book with names of people who had made orders of clay works.

Since the potter was working on the pottery works then there was a ready market for his finished products:

The raw material for the pottery work was the soil. `the

Lord, God said; Let Us

make man in our image and likeness (Genesis 1:26-28). When God created man,
His immediate market was the earth.. ` they

rule, be fruitful and prosperous, fill

the earth and subdue it (Genesis 1:26-28). Jesus upon completion of His ministry
work here on earth, He said`Go

yee therefore unto all the earth making people

my disciples, teaching them all that I have commanded you (Matthew 28:19,
20).
The Bible tells us that; `in

the house of the Lord their many types of vessels,

some of gold, others of clay BUT the vessel that cleanses itself from the latter it will be used of noble cause. Therefore every vessel originates from a different raw
material source depending on the following:
The target people/ consumers.

 Its value hence dictating its price.

Its intended purpose.

The cost of its raw material used for its manufacture.

The Bible says `to

others He gave to be Apostles, others Teachers, to some

Pastors, others Evangelists, and others Prophets according to the power of the Holy Spirit so that the Church will be equipped to attain maturity and effective ministry in Christ Jesus our Lord. The Bible continues to say `one body but diverse parts all working together in unity in order to realize effective functioning of the body for the eye cant tell the head I dont need you.

Brethren, this raw material that is brought to the industry, what is its source?

Jeremiah 1:4, 5.. ` Then the Word of the LORD came unto me saying, ` Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee

a prophet unto the nations.

Genesis 2:7.. ` And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living

soul

Man derives his existence from the LORD God Himself. God divided into equal halves the power of procreation and tucked it into mans loins: male and female- X and Y chromosome.

God gave the woman 100% femininity: female- X and X chromosome and tucked in her the womb as a temporary home for the conception, division, specialization and growth of the foetus. However the growing baby maintains its independence throughout its stay; except to acquire nutrients and eliminate waste.

This raw material is brought into the LORDS market courtesy of birth into a home of two mature beings `children

are an inheritance from the LORD, and He gives

unto them that He loves. Therefore the Bible tells us that; `The LORD does not give wives of the righteous wombs that miscarry- cant hold a conceived life.
The raw material is ushered into the earth by being taught who God is and what are

His expectations concerning him/her and the ultimate outcome here on earth and the life to come. Also how does He make man a habitation of His existence and are there benefits if so what are they therefore is it worth the course to follow and serve GOD? I need to categorically state here that parents play a very important and vital lesson for an entire 18years before the raw material is presented to His industry for the final processing if not so then `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 (Jeremiah 18:4). Majority of us were gotten
when already broken and in utter destruction hence God had to do reconstruction work of rehabilitation because our parents failed to lead us in the correct paths and ways of the LORD. May I sound a warning to children whose parents have labored so hard bring you up in the correct paths and ways of the LORD but now out of your arrogance you want to deliberately derail yourself: for you it will be disastrous and very painful where God will get you from because.. `And 15:17) `Do

when he came to his senses . (Luke

not take the grace of God in vain for it coasted the life of His only

Son and it was a very painful death and indeed very de-humanizing .
And to you who want to wreck havoc to your faith after the LORDS reconstruction and

rehabilitation; things will never be well with you neither..`f or a man who leaves

Christ his latter days will be worse than his former days the Bible tells
us.

Now that the raw material has been brought to the LORDS factory, what happens next?
The rocks and soil is grinded and sieved so that everything that is

I.

not fine soil remains:

At this stage the litter that remains is a whopping 75% and this might taker slightly longer depending on the bulkiness of the litter: no one can actually discern what manner of a

person you shall be..; .fear is the fodder of this individual and thinks that whatever he does its sin.; the prayers of this individual is always repentance for to him sin is very real.

II.

Adding water to the fine grinded soil:

The significance of this is to dissolve everything that is of soil and heavy while enabling

everything that is light to float: the

WORD of the LORD purifies and washes us

of all iniquities making us holy and acceptable before God and men..;
..a person is set into the right course of being what God wants and desires..; the voice of God becomes real and magnified in an individual; the zeal and drive of serving God becomes so intense and the vision of what an individual will be is born..; .no clear understanding ones abilities and calling and if left to serve then people will utterly be dirtified.

III.

The kneading of the wet soil until when it attains the right

moisture and pasteness:

Here things become all mixed and messed up totally with no pity or mercy: ..everything

you do is rebuked sternly; .muscle is developed and the right character of a man/woman of God.; resentment of people for you think they dont love you..; ..personal emotions are dealt accordingly until you say `thy Will be done.; the voice of God is still very vivid and His instructions..; seeking prayers for Gods direction and calling in ones life; .salvation becomes turbulent and rocky yet God is still speaking.

IV.

Spinning in the wheels to mould the vessel intended:

During this time life is in sort of crisis yet God is ever present: things move at a pace

that you cant dictate nor control; ..the calling of God becomes evident and people start recognizing it; .heavenly secrets are revealed including secrets other believers.; .an individual becomes very selfish and full of revelations( it is good to document them down).; ..being tender and vulnerable due to delicateness(care must be taken lest one develops heresy or becomes derailed).

V.

Seasoning and Curing:

This is a very important and vital stage for the last stage entirely depends on how the seasoning and curing process has been successful or a failure:
Trapped air must be eliminated.

Enough water must be used so that the vessel is made durable for the final stage

Life appears to suddenly become calm and the storms become quiet and a person

breathes a sense of relief.

God still talks but the frequency and tempo slows down since you tend to have attained

slight maturity and can handle a certain degree of pressure.

 The risk of restarting is very clear if a crack is detected or the vessel cracks due to

trapped air.
Once broken, since it is still tender and moldable then the second chance sets in and re-

making of another vessel and not the type that has cracked.
The potter begins to see the fruits of His hard work and labor in the industry together

with the expenses incurred and he can afford to smile and talk to his friends about the cost of production.
Your calling and direction of life is now solidified and confirmed hence ready to enter the

last stage of processing. It should be noted that the devil knows it very well the benefit of proper seasoning and curing hence he does all at his disposal to abort it knowing it that after here if successful then he has lost forever but if unsuccessful the breaks you up and ushers you to the dustbin yard..`Being

forty days tempted of the devil, And when the devil ended

all the temptation, he departed from Him for a season (Luke 4:2, 13); the
voice of the LORD becomes faint..; ..use the experiences you learnt in the four(4) stages of processing.; never be adamant whenever God points out an issue still pending for it is at your benefit if it is sorted now in order to save your tomorrow..; soak yourself with the word until it is overflowing and the place you are is drenched in the

WORD.

VI.

The Vessel In the Consuming Fire Furnace:

Here all roads lead to the furnace and its compulsory in that:

Failure to go through the fire will lead to ultimate breaking of the vessel`

the

winds blew and the house fell with a thud since one is half baked then he falls
due to the machinations and schemes of the devil.

God stops using anyone who fails to go through the fire hence whatever the individual does will be for his own selfish gain`away

from me unto the lake of fire.

In furnace you either make it or come out in pieces without any remedy`whoever

wants to be my disciple, let him deny himself and carry his own cross and follow me.
During this time of undertaking the following occurs;

The potter ca not save you after being put in the final processing unit. The potter initiates the furnace and sets the conditions required for the consumption of impurities.

The potter closes/seals the place and stops talking hoping that what he has put in the furnace will come out whole.

The potter knows that some of the products will not survive the consuming inferno because he had doubts with some products though they completed the seasoning and curing successfully.

The potter looks forward to the profits he will realize and is not bothered by some of the vessels notwithstanding the inferno.

After the inferno has died down, the vessels remain red-hot for several days and if anyone will dare touch them then repercussions follow.`if

I am a man

of God, let bears come out and devour you Elisha thundered after
Elijah was taken up.

Life takes an interesting twist from being calm, to all of sudden storms`I

came naked I will return naked.. Job echoed to the news brought in
..`woman

shouldnt we also expect suffering from the LORD? Job

told the wife when his health took a dangerous twist of staring to the grave for doctors had referred him back home for home based care. Brethren it was not easy even for our LORD Jesus Christ;
( `LORD

remove this cup from me; but not according to my

will but your will the Father sent an angel to encourage Him however
for the LORD God kept quiet.

( I

feel thirsty He said at the cross but they gave Him vinegar instead;

still the Father kept mum.

( LORD,

forgive them for they do not know what they are

doing Jesus echoed; the Father remained silent.

( FATHER!

Unto your hands I commit my soul Jesus said; God

kept his cool.

( Eloi,

Eloi Lamasabakithan when Christ said this;

Darkness came upon the earth.

There was a great earthquake.

The veil in the temple was ripped at the middle

The early graves were opened and the righteous were seen

walked in Jerusalem When the fire died down and the vessel cooled down, Christ rose again`why

are you

looking for the living among the dead? He is risen He is not hereChrist was given a name above every other name that by His name everything in heaven and on earth bows.
Brethren the reason as to why during this period God does not speak is because if He does;

You will accuse Him of neglecting you making Him to change His plan. So that everything that does not come from Him comes out of our hearts and mouths He looks forward to the glorious end and not the current trouble.

Brethren whatever could not survive the Consuming Fire will be in rubbles and will be going to the waste yard for dumping. If it ever happens to a believer that he didnt make it the people are left talking..you mean that brother, sister did that? Ooh my God! Sinners will be quick to proclaim..we said that salvation is just pretence!! The good news is that to those who make it to the end they are the ones who will get all the benefits and from now on to them things just happen without struggles to this category of people:
They have a clear understanding of who God is and where He will take

them
Life ceases from being a matter of struggles and trusting Him but rather

divine provision.
Success is their pillow and prosperity becomes their anchor for its not them

anymore but rather the LORD.

They are unmoved no matter the crisis and they will be sleeping in the

midst of a crisis for the inferno cant be compared to anything.

 To them God is very personal and very near.

They are there to serve until they are no more for they prefer to serve

rather than be served. May the good LORD cause us to be successful at the end of the consumption line and not be at the dumping yard where only the Grace of God becomes sufficient since you missed the target.. END ...
