DEAR POT


 There was a pot. it's a favorite of the woman. Anytime an important event is to be catered for or an important visitor is to come, she will cook with that pot. 


She makes different types of delicacies. African and continental dishes. It turns out looking and tasting great.


She receives compliments whenever she cooks with that pot. People will always ask for more. 


This makes the woman very happy with the pot. She personally wash the pot with great care and hangs it right.


One day, she wants to use the pot and it refused. The pot said the woman should wait. 


She asked if it was in pains, the pot said no, it's broken, the pot said no, the pot just wants to dictate to the woman as it thought that the woman does not have a choice.


Immediately, the woman took a stool, climbed up her shelve and brought down a new pot of the same size as the pot and started cooking with it. 


The old pot waited for the guests to complain that the food was not tasty as it thought that it was his power/skill that makes the food tasty. Rather, the woman got more compliments.


That was when the old pot realized that it was just a glorified vessel. All the wonders that the people are testifying to is as a result of the woman's skill.


The old pot was taken to the top of the shelve and left there. No special wash or special space. All benefits withdrawn.


Are you that old pot? Your intelligence, your salvation, your beauty, your anointing, money, kindness, education, connection, family, etc.... do you think it's your ability/power? Sorry to shock you, it's ALL GOD, you are just a vessel.


God used you because you are available. Any rebellion from you will cause you to be replaced because "The king's business requires haste".


May we not be proud in Jesus name.


Shalom!
