Advancing Encouragements
By: Bishop James Jr. Hairston
Today let God shape you into His likeness. In the context for we are His workmanship is the idea of a product of some sort... I like to use a blacksmith for example. This is what God does to us he takes a strong piece of metal, which is us and puts us into the fire. He leaves us in the fire long enough so that we can become bendable. When he pulls us out of the fire then He takes His mallet and beats us into the shape He wants us to be... A strong piece of metal usually becomes some type of iron rod, unbreakable sword or anything used for heavy attempts of purposes. The metal can withstand anything that it comes up against... Today, you are that strong piece of metal and God is shaping you to do great things through Christ Jesus. Whatever you are going through consider it to be the fire and when the Lord bring you out, He is shaping you to be great, magnificent, powerful, strong, mighty, unbreakable, resilient, battle proof, victorious, Holy, pure, and righteous created in Christ Jesus. Today, this is who you are so go claim them and walk in them in Jesus name...
