I'm what you may call a jack of 'many trades' but as I continually take this beautiful walk with Jesus I know I'm transformed into the perfect image of who I'm supposed to be. A SON OF GOD

THE REFINER’S FIRE…

Because he knows the road on which I travel, when he had tested me, I’ll come out like gold

Job 23:10 (ISV)

Everything I have been talking about in this series revolve around the above scripture. Each time gold or any precious metal is mentioned, it takes me back to what it has to go through from when it is mined to when it is refined. I really wish I can get a real interview, I really do have a couple of questions for them. I believe if that was possible, they will tell me that the path to being valued so highly is not a palatable one. What we see in museums and jewellery stores are refined articles. They went through the refiner’s fire, and trust me, it was not a walk in the park.

The Hebrew word for REFINE is tsäraph which also means to test. So if God wants to test you, He takes you through the fire. This He does, not to burn you up, but to purify you and make you valuable and great. It is going to be uncomfortable and hot. You will lose some of the fleshly values you have given yourself, it will be a hot and tough process to go through, but it promises to make you better.

God has not said the path to greatness will be an easy one, but He is faithful enough to be with you through the fire. He has that pedigree and if He did it for one, He can do it for another. Trust in God and you will be just fine. There is greatness on the inside of you that is waiting for expression, just endure the heat of the fire and it will manifest when your test is over.

When you pass through the waters, I’ll be with you; and through the rivers, they won’t sweep over you, when you walk through fire you won’t be scorched, and the flame won’t set you ablaze

Isa. 43:2 (ISV)

QUICK QUOTEs

God will come and wrap His arms around you
It wouldn’t be too much for Him to love you as He found you
It may seem like you’re too far gone
But He loves you like His only Son
He will come

-Mandisa

From The Christapoet Team: We sincerely apologize for the late posting of this episode of The Transforming Word Series. Thanks for your patience.

A few years ago, God showed me some interesting things about fire. I made an article out of that  and has subsequently developed it into a book (It is yet to be published). During that study, I saw the beautiful aspect of fire. I saw fire as a wonderful object in our walk with God and journey through life as a believer.

The concept of fire is one that has different effect depending on application. One application makes it an object of destruction, another application makes it a refining object. For what this series is intended to achieve, I will dwell on the latter application.

The process of refining is one that is a crucial one. This is where God fine tunes us to meet His standard. This is where we trade our filthy, dirty and disjointed nature for His pure, holy and righteous nature. This is where we are made vessels unto honour. This is where self is burned up and the glory of God, as a consequence of His Spirit, shines through us.

In the next episode, I will look at the role of fire in the refining process.

BUILD CAPACITY

1 Comment

I did a little study on the dynamics of child birth and I postulate that pregnant women fall into four different categories during delivery. The first category includes those who experience seamless delivery. These women can almost not feel the pain during delivery, not for the absence of it, but it becomes insignificant to them. The second category includes those who feel excruciating pains during delivery but somehow manage to push through to delivery. The third category includes those who feel excruciating pains but do not have enough strength to push through to delivery, but enough to stay alive to probably conceive again. The fourth category includes those who cannot bear the pain of delivery and hence throw in the towel.

Two things find commonality among these groups; Ability to conceive and Birth pains. For you to get to your PUSH point, you must have conceived and by consequence anticipate delivery pains. What determines the category you fall in is the capacity you have built during your pregnancy period. What you do during your pregnancy period plays a key role in your delivery period.

If you must have a safe and sound delivery of the greatness that is inside of you, you have to build capacity. Your pregnancy season should be a season of capacity building. I know you hope to be on the big stage tomorrow, build the capacity you need today. Don’t just loaf around and wait for the big stage, make use of the little ones you see now to build the capacity you need for the big stage. Without capacity, the big stage will swallow you. Capacity gives you strength to PUSH through to delivery.

I know your big stage is yet to come. I know you have those big ideas growing in your mind and yearning for expression. But I want to challenge you today to invest in capacity building. Study, read books, attend seminars and workshops, listen to people who will help you expand your ability to think, and strive to acquire relevant skills. Go for knowledge and information that will equip you for the big stage. Delivery becomes seamless for the man who has built enough capacity.

“If you faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small” Prov. 24:10 (KJV).
