The Master Craftsman!


Have you ever thought why is my nose so big? or why are my fingers too small? or why is my head shaped like this? Have you complained so much about your body forgetting that you were fashioned and created by the master craftsman?
God loves to create, and one of God’s masterpiece in creation is you and I. God made us and said Wow! This is good. He made us wonderfully and fearfully paying very close attention to detail, for example when he was forming you, because he knew you are going to be a medical doctor with a certain kind of personality and interest your fingers should a bit longer than usual, to allow you handle things others will not be able handle , or another example he gave you a bigger head and a bigger brain so that you can store more information in your head than others can. So that big head or ‘funny’ shaped nose is not a mistake it is part of God’s master plan, you are God’s masterpiece.
Just like my Father who created me, I also love making things, so what if I made a handbag with huge pockets in front of it. I made that bag different because my target market for that kind of design are customers who like to put a lot of things in the pockets of their handbag, this design will serve those customers better. It is still a handbag, but it is designed differently because it would be boring if I made all bags alike.
The world has sold us a big lie telling us we have to look, talk, or dress a certain way before we are considered beautiful. How can an awesome God make a mistake with his creation? It is impossible. Imagine you buy your daughter a very expensive dress and you told the dressmaker who made it to put some extra detail on the dress maybe expensive crystals, stones , and pearls these were beaded into the dress and this took a lot of time, energy and resources. When it was finally completed it was so beautiful you could not wait to give it to your daughter “she would absolutely love it!” you thought. When you finally gave her the dress she looked very sad and says “I don’t like the dress! it’s not what I expected , it’s ugly, it’s boring I prefer the dresses I see in the magazines they look more beautiful”, how would you feel? Well that is how God feels when we complain about our bodily features and compare ourselves with others, saying to ourselves we are not beautiful because the world has sold us a fake image of what beauty really is.
Ephesians 2: 10‘We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfil the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed one. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfil it!’. Are you joined to Jesus? If Yes, then you are a MASTERPIECE.
The oxford dictionary describes a masterpiece as a work of art such as a painting, movie, book, etc that is an excellent, or the best example of the artist’s work. You are an excellent work of art made by the master craftsman himself and He has a special plan for you and I that is why He made us all differently to do the specific work he has planned for us.

Swift as the Eagle

The fourth face of the living creatures described in Ezekiel 1 and Revelations 4 is the face of an Eagle. Eagles are very majestic birds, they are swift, very fast and very sharp, they are high flyers and they have very sharp vision. Eagles don’t operate on the low level like other birds they fly very high and they do not mingle with other types of birds. Spiritual eagles work together to bring about the purpose of God here on earth An eagle swiftly swoops on its prey and takes it high up in the sky just as Jesus is swift in dealing with his enemies. An eagle can fly across a lake in less than one minute when searching for prey. The eagle is swift because it knows it doesn’t have all the time, and if the eagle is swift it means that it is very difficult to catch. Jesus came to the world and did his work swiftly, his 30 years here on earth was swift but very effective, as spiritual eagles we also have to be swift to hear and swift to do that which God has called us to do. If we m

REST IN GOD

  Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Hebrews 4:9-10 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. There is a rest for the people of God, but many haven’t entered this rest. Jesus Christ is asking us to come to His rest and to find rest for our souls. Are we troubled? anxious? or fearful? God is calling us into His rest. Are we encumbered by the concerns of this life? E.g school fees, house rent, bills to pay, a troubled marriage, etc. Jesus is saying do your best and leave the rest to me. Worrying too much about all these things will not make much of a difference, instead, we must live and walk by faith, this is the only condition to entering the rest of the Lord. Knowing without a shadow of a doubt that of a truth

Worth more than rubies

  A dear customer of mine who has become a dear friend called me up one day and said she would like to make some items for her family members using the colours of their birthstones. These are precious stones that are associated with different months, for example, amethyst is the birthstone for those born in February, and diamond is the birthstone for those born in April. This would be one of the most exciting projects that I have ever embarked upon, also because before this time I didn’t know much about precious stones. I have seen and read about them, even in the bible but never given much attention to them by looking them up to see what they really look like. The only precious stone I am familiar with is the diamond, I guess this is because it’s the most popular, and the one most people wear. After concluding that project, anytime I stumbled on precious stones in the bible I got very curious. Revelations 21: 14-27 talks about the New Jerusalem ‘Now the wall of the city had 12 found
