YOU ARE MEANT FOR A GLORIOUS PURPOSE!

 

 

 

    "Take away the dross from silver, and it will go to the silversmith for jewelry." Proverbs.25:4.

     Nobility in the natural sense may not have the same interpretation and definition with God's own view of it. There are certain things, ways, and lifestyles we regard as honorable, glorious, and enviable which are just ashes and vanity.

     The word of God says, of what purpose is a man if he gain the whole world and loses his own soul, Or what will he give in exchange for it? (Matthew.16:26). A noble purpose is anything that glorify God and has eternal value.

     In reference to the scripture text chosen for this intuition, Silver is a metallic element with literally a grey or white shining color. It exhibits the highest electrical and thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal. The metal is found in the earth's crust in the pure, free elemental form, as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite. Most silver produced as a by-product of copper, gold, lead, and zinc refining.

     Silver as long been valued as a precious metal. Silver metal is used in many modern monetary systems in bullion coins, sometimes alongside gold: while it is more abundant than gold, it is much less abundant as a native metal. Its purity is typically measured on per-mile basis; a 94% pure alloy is described as "0.940 fine". As one of the seven metals of antiquity, silver has had an enduring role in most human cultures.

    Silver is used in numerous applications other than currency, such as solar panels, water filtration, jewelry, ornaments, high-value table ware and utensils-called silver ware, and as an investment medium(coins and bullion). Silver is used industrially in electrical contacts and conductors, in specialized mirrors, window coatings, and catalysis of chemical reactions.

    Silver is characterized in its physical and chemical properties with its two neighbors in group 11 of the periodic table, copper and gold.

    I didn't intend to go out of the Bible context following the brief introduction of silver I enunciated above, but in order to bring the subject matter home and aid clarity on the economic, financial, domestic and material importance and value of silver with which God liken us.

   You wouldn't know how valuable and precious you are in the hand of God until you eschew sin and conform totally to God's prime purpose and plan for your life. There is virtually no one God creates without a unique plan and purpose, and part of that plan is to bring such to honor, glory and relevance in your area of calling to shine like stars.

   It grieves my heart when I see wonderful and precious young chaps yielding themselves to evil works such as: practicing witchcraft, prostitution and other sexual scandals, hoodlums, thuggery, and hooliganism, fraudulent deals, occultism, alcoholism and drug addicts among many other sociology-vises., when God has a fantastic and glorious plan and purposes that has eternal gratifications for them.

    Not only that, many Christians, both young and adult crave for God's use in a significant way and clamor for the demonstration of His gifts and power in their life without success. This is owing to the fact that many of them only wishes without willing to make themselves available to pay the price for such a higher calling. Whereas, that has been God's major concern and heart cry everyday, saying, "I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one." Ezekiel.22:30.

    Many of His investments are out there wasting away, and precious souls He died for are trooping to Christ-less eternity for want of usable and pure hands who are ready to gather with Him to the barn in this His harvesting season.

    Nevertheless, it is observed following the text for this instruction, that, unless SILVER is purified from dross or rottenness entangled with from its ore, it would remain useless for honorable purpose, as valuable as it is to human need.

    The mystery here is that, whether it is purified or not, it would always be a useful commodity, but inasmuch as it is not purified, it wouldn't serve a glorious purpose. That is why Jesus said, "...if I do not wash you, you have no part with Me." John.13:8.

    The truth about this matter is that, you can't stand in the middle of the road; if God is not using you, you are a material in the hand of the devil!

     Therefore beloved friend, the waiting arm of God is still available to carry you to his refinery for thorough infiltration, blowing, mending and molding to become a treasured instrument in the hands of kings and nobles and rest in eternal glory.

     May God help you as you are yielding your willing power to Jesus-the refiner and launderer in Jesus name.

God bless you.
