TOPIC: A WET WOOD: WET WOOD CAN STILL GENERATE FIRE
Memory Verse: Prov. 26:20
“20 Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.”
Bible Reading: 2 Chro. 7:14
“14 However, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, search for me, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear their prayer from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their country.”
As a wet wood, which discovered his/her irrelevancy, there can still be a way to be useful and become the burning wood on the altar for God. The important thing is to realize you are a wet wood and a wet wood can’t generate the required fire on the altar of God. Accepting this fact is the foundation to being useful to God. Realization of yourself, believing that you are not created to be who you are presently, accepting that, you are to be a vessel of honour in the hands of God.
“If my people”, meaning, those who knows me (God) though have been walking in their owns ways, not doing what I have decreed. You might be close to the altar but your heart is very far from the church. You’re being called His child but living as a servant. God said, if you will realize this by humbling yourself, come to Him and surrender, start a new life with God, make Him your controller then, He will change you from the wet wood to dry wood. He will rule and reign in you. You will become a vessel for His Glory.
You will have to change your thinking; your mindset, and then your focus will be on God and not on pleasing men. Your determination will be to show forth the Lord in your marriage, environment, ministry, place of work, with your colleagues and family. No one was and is created by God to be useless. There is a purpose for your life, that you’re yet to discover. God never created you to be a liability, No. Go back to Him, He will make you whom He created you to be. You can still be that dry wood burning for God on the altar. May God lead us through in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
