You are God's Exclusive Masterpiece ( Part 2)


Isaiah considered himself as a worst sinner (Isaiah 6:4), but yet the Lord saw his as a prophet who could go and give the people Gods message, Isaiah was the prophet who even prophesied the Birth of our Lord Jesus hundreds of years before Jess was born.

Jeremiah considered himself as a too young and incapable of being at the service of the Lord (Jeremiah 1:6), but tells him do not call him a child but be prepared to do all  that he is called to do.

Many times we get discouraged because of what our family, friends, associates think and say about us, David was once such example who was a bold young lad and had the courage to face the enemy, but he had to overcome a lot of discouragement from his own brothers I Samuel 17:28, he was discourage by king Saul 1 Samuel 17: 33, his own discouraged him they wanted to stop him from doing what he was called to do, but David was sure of himself. God saw David as a man after his own heart Acts 13:22 and David went to become the great King of Israel from his lineage came the messiah of the World Jesus Christ.

Dearly beloved, the Lord in Jeremiah 1:5 tells Jeremiah and he is telling each one you reading this now, Even before you were formed in your mother’s womb he knew you, he knew what he has in store for you, he knew what he wanted to make out of you he knew what would be your height, your skin color, your every single feature he knew, he knew the purpose behind how he planned to make you, You are not a mere accident or, you are Gods unique, exclusive, limited edition creation. In the same verse the Lord says even before you were born he has set you apart and appointed you to your specific calling. Dear friend even before you were born you were anointed to be at the service of God. God has placed within us the anointing, the grace to live our calling. Some of you are called to preach the gospel, some are called to evangelize, some to sing and play instruments for god, some to visit the sick and pray for them, some to teach children about the love of God, some to write for the glory of God, some to intercede. We should recognize are calling and work towards it

Do not get discouraged by focusing on the negative areas of your life, Ask God to give you his eyes and insight to see how he sees you, at the same time let us make a conscious decision not to discourage people around us but let’s pray and ask God to give us the grace to see people the way he sees them and encourage the.

Before I end lets us read Ephesians 2:10 for we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

The bible very clearly says we are Gods Masterpiece and indeed You are God’s Masterpiece created to do all God planned for us, so rise up child of God and do what you are called and destined to do for God and his kingdom, rise up above your shortcomings, rise up above your discouragement, rise up above the opinion people have about you. Your creator has bought into existence a masterpiece and it is YOU!

Just before we end a word of caution as you begin to serve God and his people, guard your heart to ensure so pride enters you, the moment we let pride enter us and have a hold over us it is a beginning of our downfall. As you grow in your service to the lord strive to grow in humility Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. (James 4:10).
