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.

The Yoke of the Ox...

The oxford dictionary describes a yoke as a wooden crosspiece that is fastened over the necks of two animals and attached to the plough or cart they are to pull. It is used to join two oxen together so that there can be unity in what they are doing and they get the job done faster. The yoke is usually custom made and carved to fit the shape of the neck of the ox. When a farmer wants to train a younger ox, he does it with an older ox who understands what to do and is experienced, because the older ox has been allowed to grow to full maturity, so it is the best partner to be yoked with, it is reliable and it will teach the younger one how to pull, how to settle down under the yoke and how to be efficient. The younger ox is just supposed to submit to it and follow the older ox’s leading, but sometimes it is half in and half out of the yoke and not completely under it because it doesn’t want to be yoked (that is to submit and follow the older ox’s leading) and this leads to huge scars ...

WISE BUILDERS

The Oxford dictionary describes a building as a structure with a roof and walls, such as a house or factory and a temple as a building devoted to the worship of a god or gods. When Solomon built the temple of God, to show reverence to God the building was built in silence, the stones were very costly, carefully hewed and cut to dimension and made ready at the quarry before being transported to the temple site where they would fit perfectly together(1 Kings 5: 16-17; 6:7). The temple that Solomon built no longer exists, it was destroyed by the Babylonians because the children of Israel became rebellious to God and the presence of God no longer dwelt there. God is building a new temple, we are this new temple of God. The temple of God is a living house composed of living stones its building has an architect and that architect is God Ephesians 2: 20- 22 20  having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone, 21...

Be Still and know that He is God

Reading the bible sometimes I often wondered why some people didn’t ask God for forgiveness after God passed a judgement on them, they just accepted it without any attempt to beg or anything. How will you feel if you scolded your child and told him he was grounded and he said very casually ok no problem, will you not feel insulted that the punishment didn’t even make him apologise? Take another instance if you worked in an organisation and the boss queried you and passed judgement on you because of your poor performance and you know that organisation has a very good reputation people hustle to work there, the pay is fantastic and the boss is known to be the most generous boss ever , he has a reputation of being extremely loving, caring, kind , generous ,and good, he likes excellence and hard work and you know you obviously didn’t do a great job, will you get offended with that boss and leave the job instead of humbling yourself and apologise promising such will never happen aga...
