Are you GOD's Masterpiece?

He is the Potter we are the Clay!...................Creating Today to Be a Masterpiece
(We are God’s artistry in motion)

Artistry is an outstanding work of art or craft; the greatest work; something superlative of its kind: of the highest order, quality, or degree; surpassing or superior to all others.)

We are presently being groomed and perfected according to His Will!
Ephesians 2:10
For we are “His workmanship,” created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Psalms 149:4
For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.
1 Peter 5:10
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

These trials will many times cause us to struggle, when we are challenged by them. We must understand that all of our temptations are nothing more than preparation for our presentation to Him. The more we suffer and endure hardships, the more we become like him.

“Suffering is Preparation for our Presentation”

Hebrews 5:8
Though he were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which he suffered;
2 Timothy 2:11
It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him: if we deny him, He also will deny us:
Ephesians 5:27
That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Ephesians 3:20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Jude 24
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
Psalms 118:24
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

When the Presentation is made, we will be faultless and perfect like Him. This will be the greatest masterpiece of art the world has ever known!

The highly esteemed and artistic prodigies of the world can never rival our achievements! They are held in the greatest esteem for their achievements and yet, not one of their accomplishments has any eternal significance! Leonardo da Vinci was a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer and Michaelangelo was the Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. These esteemed geniuses took ordinary paint, clay, brushes, and materials and used their imaginations to create their masterful works of art. We use our faith to transform ordinary things into extraordinary things! Our achievements are the results of wisdom that produces creativity with which God has favored us! We, the church, have no rivals in excellence!

Daniel 1:20
Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm. (No rivals)

Wisdom is creativity!
Creativity is a thinking process that occurs in increments, is it an unfolding of Divine instruction in our minds! By faith, our thoughts are wisely formed into creativity, by the Divine crystallization of our thoughts (Crystallize is to take on a definite, precise, and usually permanent form)
Proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

The Lord views the World’s masterpieces as nothingness!

Luke 16:15
And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

There is no greater earthly accomplishment than to achieve mastery of the entire world.

Matthew 16:26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

The greatness of the world is meaningless in the sight of God. We were chosen in God before any of these earthly achievements became a reality! So let us rejoice and be glad, for great is the man that upholds/embraces the Lord as his delight!

Psalm 37:23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he (us) delighteth in his way.


Psalm 112:1
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.
Psalm 100:1
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. 2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before His presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the LORD He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. 5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.
Today remind yourself that through all of our struggles God is perfecting His new image in us.
Philippians 1:6
Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ
Philippians 2:12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. 14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Simply put, we are God’s artistry in motion, showing Creativity and skill!

This is the first day of the rest of our lives, so let us make the very best of it! It starts with acknowledging that the Lord has granted us another opportunity to show/prove that we want Him to count us as being worthy! Just the mere opportunity to see this day should send electrifying shock waves through our soul!
Lamentations 3:21
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

We should make ourselves be glad and thankful that God has given us the benefit-of-the-doubt again! This indeed, is our day which has been given to us for one purpose, and that is to be used as “a vessel of His choice.”

Yes, the Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient God has chosen you to do His bidding today!

Apostle Paul tells Bishop Timothy to be mindful that anyone can be transformed, if they just submit to His Will and His Way!

2 Timothy 2:20
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonor. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

We are God’s artistry and His workmanship. We are being molded as the potter’s clay. Although it became marred, the potter was able to form it again “as seemed good” to the potter.

Jeremiah 18:3
Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 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. 5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

The potter reshapes the vessel at his discretion. A pictorial illustration reveals that marred vessels can be transformed again. This message is to the fallen, marred, broken and for the sinners. Once we have been transformed then there is hope for the hopeless, to become a masterpiece and make every day a masterpiece!

Stake your spiritual claims:
I will be transformed now!
This is a new day and a new opportunity!

Emphatically tell yourself: I will commit my thinking to the Lord!

Proverbs 16:3
Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
