God’s Way of Processing a Great Vessel

The man God uses must meet a required standard. He must be willing to pass through a process and be refined. God will not want to produce a Pentecostal pastor without power, thus, He processes the vessel to prepare him for the work ahead. When God instructed Jeremiah in Jeremiah 18:1-8 to go to the potter’s house, His utmost intention was to make him understand that we are in God’s hands. He found out that each time the potter tries to make the vessel according to the design he has in mind when the clay falls, he starts all over again molding the clay until the vessel is finally made. What an exhibition of patience and perseverance!
This is similar to God’s way of processing a vessel. God has a design for our lives, thus he patiently processes the vessel to perfection for the master’s use. Most times, we get marred in His hands, taking the shape He has not destined for us, but He will still take His time to make you to fit into that picture He has in mind for you.
