Our Daily Manna Devotional For Champions 16th August 2018
TOPIC: THE CLAY’S EXPERIENCE! BASIC
SCRIPTURE: JEREMIAH 18:1-11
There was a couple who used to go to England to shop in the beautiful stores. They both liked antiques and pottery and especially teacups. This was their twenty fifth wedding anniversary. One day in this beautiful shop, they saw a beautiful cup. They said, “May we see that? We have never seen one quite so beautiful”.

As the lady handed it to them, the cup spoke suddenly: “You don’t understand.” It said, “I have always been a teacup. There was a time when I was red and I was clay; my master took me and rolled me and patted me over and over and I yelled out, “let me alone” but he only smiled, ‘Not Yet!’ ‘Then he put me in the oven! I never felt such heat!’ the cup said. “I wondered why he wanted to burn me, and I yelled and knocked at the door.
I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head, ‘Not yet.’ “Finally the door opened! He put me on the shelf, and I began to cool. ‘This is better’ I said. ‘And he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible! I thought I would go into shock. ‘Stop it, stop it! I cried.” He only nodded, ‘Not yet!’ Then suddenly he put me back into the oven, not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I knew I would suffocate! I begged! I pleaded!

I screamed! I cried! All the time I could see him through the opening, nodding his head and saying, ‘Not yet’. Then I knew there wasn’t any hope. I would never make it. I was ready to give up. But the door suddenly opened and he took me out and placed me on the shelf. One hour later, he handed me a mirror and said, ‘look at yourself ’. And I did. I said ‘That’s not me; that couldn’t be me. It’s beautiful, I am beautiful’.
I want you to remember that he said ‘I know it hurts to be rolled and patted, but if I had left you alone, you would have dried up, you would have crumbled, you would have cracked, you would not have had any colour in your life.” Just like the story in the Book of Jeremiah 18:1-6, be a clay that will allow the work of the Potter. “Storms don’t come to teach us painful lessons, rather they were meant to wash us clean” (Shannon L. Alder). God knows what He is doing (for all of us).
He is the Potter,and we are His clay. He will mould us into a flawless piece of work to fulfill His good, pleasing, and perfect will! Refuse to QUIT! Let Him mould you! I see a better you! Our Daily Manna Devotional For Champions 16th August 2018 – TOPIC: THE CLAY’S EXPERIENCE! BASIC
