Release the masterpiece!

Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” The word Workmanship is the greek word Poiema which means: poetry, masterwork, work of art, His creation, accomplishment, masterpiece. We were created for good works!

  1. This means that we are capable of doing amazing things for God’s glory. It’s not only a certain breed of person that can do good works. We all have that potential. We all are God’s masterpiece. 
  2. Unfortunately, there are a lot of masterpieces that never get displayed, so the world misses out on the joy of their beauty.God gave each of us wonderful gifts and abilities. However, it’s up to us to walk in those gifts.a) He set us in His Body by His grace!                                                                                        b) God set us in the Body as it pleased Him! 1 Corinthians 12:18.                           c) God set us in His Body for the profit of all! 1 Corinthians 12:7                             d) There are no unnecessary members in the Body 1 Corinthians 12:22

    Since you are already part of His Body, and it pleases Him that you are set in His Body, it’s time to release the masterpiece within you.

They’re watching you!

Without realizing it or not, people are noticing you and your uniqueness. This is so important that you know this because it can work for or against you. As a powerful example, we can see this in the life of King David. Before David became known as “the giant slayer,” his father and brothers knew him only as a shepherd of sheep. However, if one digs deeper, the community where he lived and served, realized much more about him as they observed him on an ongoing basis. King Saul was being tormented and distressed, so his helpers sought out someone who was “skillful” at playing the harp. One of them brought up young David. What impressed me is what he said about him. 1 Samuel 16:18 says, “One of the servants said to Saul, “One of Jesse’s sons from Bethlehem is a talented harp player. Not only that—he is a brave warrior, a man of war, and has good judgment. He is also a fine-looking young man, and the Lord is with him.” Just by observing and by word of mouth, they were able to find out some pivotal things about David that eventually got him to become King Saul’s armor bearer. So determine today to make sure that all that your do, do it with all of your heart and mind. You never know who is watching, and you never know where ti can take you!

1 Samuel 16:22 Then Saul sent word to Jesse asking, “Please let David remain in my service, for I am very pleased with him.”
