Introduction
God has a plan for everyone life
We
We are in the beginning of what the Center of Disease Control calls Influenza Season.
During influenza season individuals may be highly exposed to what is called the flu virus.
It is recommended that individuals take a flu shot.
One memorial thing you may notice is that there are a lot of signs that are placed throughout the workplace, bathrooms during this season that says cover your mouth and nose if you sneeze or cough.
Then it says wash you hands.
The wash your hands sign appears every where.
it is important to wash your hands at all time but especially in the influenze season because of the spread of germs by the hand.
God has a plan for everyone life
He made this possible through his son Jesus Christ God wants all of us to be save - Acts
Teaching people about handwashing helps them and their communities stay healthy.
God Plan for us to be save
God’s wants us to be a witness
Handwashing education in the community:
You have to be careful of Judgeing.
Reduces the number of people who get sick with diarrhea by 31%
Jeremiah has to becareful not to judge - even though he see the clay marred - he has to understand that its still being worked on.
Reduces diarrheal illness in people with weakened immune systems by 58%
Please be patient with me be cause God is not through with me yet.
Clay has to be Harden through the fire.
Reduces respiratory illnesses, like colds, in the general population by 16-21%
Fire is the strength process.
God has to send you through the fire to strengthen you.
He also have to send you through the purification process.
So keeping clean hands are very important.
What I would like to aruge today in this text is that we serve a God with Dirty Hands.
Durability
God’s Hand always dirty - Thats what God shows Jeremiah down at the potters house.
Sustainbuilty
Please be patient with me because God is not through with me yet.
Longevity
God’s Hand always dirty
Thats what God shows Jeremiah down at the potters house
Context of this scene
Some of us may remember that
After David, Solomon, Rabon - is responsible for the division of the nation of Israel.
Rabon leadership - 10 tribes succeed from the nation and form northern country called Israel whose capital is Samaria.
Two tribes form the southern country which is call Judea whose capital is Jerusalem.
So after Rabon there are actually two nations: Israel and Judea.
Israel is led by kings - whose the Bible say or more wicked than there preprocessor.
As a result these kings led the people away from God as a a result in 730 BC God allow the Assyrian army to conquer the northern tribes called Israel.
But the south is rule by the linage of David.
The king on the throne bares David Blood line.
What has happen in the north cannot happen in the south.
Now as we move forward two hundred years, as the winds of disobedience and rebellion from the north has blew in the face of the south.
The Bible says that every man was doing what was right in there own mind.
In order to keep from the same destruction of Judea that happen to Israel.
God sends Prophets with words that was not popular or welcome.
Which brings us to the text today: One of those prophets name was Jeremiah.
Jeremiah Prophesy
Was not like the prophesy we see, or hear today.
He didn’t prophesies that blessing was coming
He didn’t tell them to just show up and give a seed offering Didn’t say that if you drink this miracle water you will be healed No that was not his prophecy.
Jeremiah Prophesy was God is growing weary of you.
Jeremiah:
was saying either get right, or something is going to go wrong.
Get your house in order or the lord is going to disipline you.
Of course Jeremiah message was not received well.
Some even argue that his message was hopeless.
They had being doing wrong so long, and messing up so badly and had fallen so short of the will of God.
That they had reach a point of believing that there is no possibility of change.
This is the pattern of the enemy.
When you are in a repeat pattern of doing things, struggling , sickness , brokenness, financial empty.
When you find your self struggling with same thing time in and time in after again.
The enemy will make you believe this is normal.
The enemy will creep in your mind and convince you that there no way to break this habit you have formed.
You know people like that:
Who would rather cope than change, who would rather balance than be delivered.
Rather than get rid of it in there lives they are just covering it up because the devil has convince you that there is no way for you to change.
Look at how many times -
You said you would and you didn’t.
Look at how many times your cried or went to the alter and found yourself back in the same situation.
Look how many times said Lord if you bring me out of this.
And find your self back in the same situation.
See there is a hopelessness that has form in Judea.
God realizes this and tell Jeremiah,
I want to show you something.
He tells him meet me at the potters house.
Jeremiah - goes down to the potter house and he walks in and the man is making something on the pottery wheel with his hand.
The Bible says that whatever he was making with his hand was marred.
- It has some flaws in it
Not the way he wanted
The Bible says (in v4) that he made it again as a vessel that seem good to him.
The Bible says (in v4) that he made it again as a vessel that seem good to him.
the Bible says (in v4) that he made it again as a vessel that seem good to him.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
You might want to highlight or underline or write this word again.
Hebrew diction gives us two words for “again” one is to recreate and the other is to repair.
So the potter is working on the wheel, and has the clay in his hands, sees the flaw and instead of him throwing away and making up some new clay he repairs what he has in his hand.
See the difference between recreate and repair is the level of effort of the one whose doing it to change what needs to be change.
This why we need experts.
Jeremiah looks at the marred clay with the flaw and thinks its bad, but the potter looks at the marred clay and says that its repairable.
See with our judgements eyes we see things different than the ones who have experience, expertise in the matter.
See the potter is telling someone here today.
what looks major to you is not major to me.
He is saying,
“ All I need to do is put my hands on it”.
What is hard for you is not hard for me.
