Qualifying to Work With God (Criteria for Divine Partnership)Exemplo

STRIVE TO KEEP PASSING THE TESTS OF GOD

I want to bring to your attention the word “reprobates” from today's passage. That word means tested, failed the test, and discarded. In Jeremiah 18:1-6, the potter's field is very peculiar; it is useless. Nobody can plant anything there because it is filled with broken pots from the works of the potter. In the passage above, the potter was doing a particular work on the wheel; it was marred in his hands and then he remoulded it. Some pots will not meet the test, so the potter will have to discard it, and when he throws it out, he throws it into this potter's field.

The potter's field is just a field filled with pots that are not only broken, but they have also been tested and reworked repeatedly; they were found wanting and unamenable, and so they had to be discarded - Reprobates.

Now, that simply means that it's possible for a reprobate to still carry a title like Saul, the first king of Israel. He had failed the test of heaven; he had been discarded, but he was still the official king and the king in waiting, David, had not ascended to the throne.

We must be faithful in our generation; we must be faithful to the demands, training, and process God is giving us. My prayer for you is that you will pass the test of God in your generation and have a testimony that you are among those who stayed faithful to God in Jesus' name.

Prayer: Lord, I pray for the grace to pass divine tests. May I not be a reprobate. I will be a vessel that gives the potter pleasure in Jesus’ name. Amen!
