This is “How God Wants To Use You Part 1”. Many times, we only hear about the patriarchs like Abraham, Moses, or David. But there were many unsung heroes in the Bible, without name recognition but of absolute importance to God. God has something He can use in you, regardless of how insignificant you may think you are.

[Music]
[Applause]
you love his presence thank him for it
thank him for it thank him for it praise
His
name open your Bibles with me to First
Chronicles chapter 4 and then we’re
going to quickly go to Ezekiel chapter
27
and I want to share with you something
different and I believe though it is a a
word that everybody in this room can use
I want God to use me I don’t know about
you but I’m still
available think of Isaiah when God
needed somebody he said here am I send
me so today I want to talk to you about
how God
wants to use you in two ways that he
wants to use you in the church in your
family in your
business in life in general these two
areas that I’m going to talk about God
using people you may find
yourself absolutely being used mightily
of God if you’ll be open to what I’m
going to share the first one is in 1
Chronicles chapter 4 in verse 23 and
this is what it says it says there were
The Potters everybody say The
Potters and they were the ones who dwelt
among plants and
hedges there they dwelt with the King
for his
work if you read that verse in its
entirety that I wouldn’t take time to do
but it’s lists all these important
people these powerful people these
Mighty people things that they were
doing that were so uh incredible and
visible and notable and and and and all
struck struck things that they were able
to do and right toward the end of it I
love that the word of God
notices simply The
Potters and notice they dwelt among
plants they were in the background they
if you wouldn’t even know they were
there you could just see their ball cap
working behind the Shrubbery or they
were they were were among the plants and
the hedges kind of hid and then the
other verse that I want to share is in
Ezekiel 27 the
Ancients of jabal and the wise men
thereof were in thee thy caers and then
he starts talking about the
ships strange that the Bible so
detailed many times when we think about
people that God uses we think about the
heroes Abraham and Isaac and Samson and
David the mighty Gideon the powerful
Deborah and Esther and there’s only one
of one Esther and one Deborah and one
Abraham you you just don’t see
multitudes of people like them their
faith can almost intimidate us their
achievements can almost make us feel
like we could never measure up to the
greatness that those men and women have
reached but there are many also unsung
heroes in the background in the shadows
of scriptures as a matter of fact
anytime you see any of these great men
or women that I just mentioned in the
Forefront in the Limelight in the on the
stage of life doing something that is
affecting history and multitudes of
people there’s other people who are in
the shadows and in the background
that you may not be aware of and I thank
God that he uses us all to do his
will and in the text that I read there’s
a Potters that are mentioned that dwelt
with the King Without The Potters
certain things would not have he was
preparing a huge party he was having the
most honored guests coming from all over
the world but he takes time to mention
the scripture does The Potters the
people who took clay and and water and
formed vessels that could be used to
serve the food and make basins that
would hold the candles to give light to
the king’s Palace and the the they made
the the cups and the chales that the
wine would be poured in the king would
not be able to entertain the guest and
change their lives with his with his
presence if it was not for people who
did what they could do with their hands
in the hedges and among the plants they
were never in the dining room they were
never in the palace they were never in
the bright lights they were just
potters and then he talks about ships
and he’s saying that it’s the caulkers
you know what a cauler is do y’all know
what a cauler is how many of you know
what a caulking is yeah one who seals up
takes sealant and seals up uh uh
sheetrock or seals up a boat if it
starts to leap and God says these people
are worth mentioning and immortalizing
in the
scripture every single person is
important and God said I want there to
be two kinds of people always present in
families in homes and in churches
I want
Potters Potters Potters who begin to
take the Next
Generation your children your family and
you put your hands on them The Potter’s
job was to find the clay and once he
found the clay he would begin to mold
that clay he would take water and he
would begin to smooth out the clay and
get the lumps out and put it on the
wheel and he would begin to work and
make that clay into a vessel that could
be used at the king’s table who are The
Potters The Potters are youth workers in
the
church that see young people and man
their moms and dads who still believe in
their teenagers when they mess up cuz
they will do dumb things and they’ll do
it over and they’ll do it over and
they’ll do it over and over again but
you just keep putting your hands on them
you’re the Potter in their life and you
keep shaping them and you keep molding
them and you keep pouring into them you
keep believing in them and you keep
encouraging them don’t you give up on
them you keep loving them you keep
telling them you’re special I’m telling
you God’s got his hand on your life
we’re called to be
Potters I thought about people who work
with youth are Potters parents are
Potters I thought about these musicians
are Potters because a great musician
like the all these musicians are great
musicians they’re not average they’re
not it normal they’re above the cut they
could they they could be playing
anywhere but a great musician will see
another musician and begin to use that
clay and form that clay and say now let
me show you how you move from that cord
to this and really fatten things up and
that song that chord right there will
fit right beauti out of that that’s what
a man did to me when I started playing
the piano I couldn’t play the piano and
I learned it in one summer there was a
man in my dad’s church who played piano
and he he just saw the talent he saw I
could play the Sachs and he knew I had
music in me and he said let me teach you
some chords and he showed me three
chords and then he showed me one song
and I played that and he kept pouring in
and said now take it here now let’s go
to another key let me show you how to do
this and show you and it’s amazing how
that we can raise up a whole whole
another generation of singers a whole
another
generation of worshippers a whole
another generation of
musicans you got to do it we got to do
it we’re
Potters I thought about business people
that entrepreneur Spirit you don’t have
to be in the tribe of Judah to be a
Potter but what about what about
entrepreneurs what about people out
there who have made it what about people
out there who have built business
businesses that that are astounding and
and you’ve got hundreds of employees and
God has done great things in your life
but you also ought to be looking and
maybe it’s in your own family use that
gift that amazing you think different
you know things that somebody else you
just know it instinctively communicate
that use that become a Potter and pour
into them and then tell them your story
and don’t forget don’t forget the only
reason I made it was was because I
started giving and tithing and honoring
God and he began to open the windows of
heaven and he blessed me and he Favored
Me Oh this isn’t a commercial for money
I’m not asking we we’re not going to
take an offering you have to give it if
you want to give it I’m telling you
that’s how you shape the Next Generation
for
greatness is a Potter Potters brought
light to the King’s house the Potter
didn’t seem very important but without
the position of the
Potter there would be no party in the
King’s
house and somebody said I don’t want I
don’t have to have the Limelight I’ll
work behind the hedges but I don’t want
the party to go out in the King’s house
too many people need to eat from his
table the bread and the wine the body of
Christ I want that party to keep
going you know when you get my
age I don’t even care if I preach some
big conference I get invites all the
time but I’d rather raise up two or
three anointed preachers like Javon and
different ones and I’d rather see them
get up before 20,000 people and preach
more than
me why because I’ve done it but I get
more joy out of seeing them do
it
Hallelujah I don’t know where I’m going
with this sermon but I feel like
shouting right now does anybody believe
in the Next Generation does anybody
believe God has his hand on the Next
Generation does anybody believe the
young men will see visions and the old
men will dream dreams and together they
will begin to make vessels of Honor meat
for the master
[Applause]
use
you
see they’ll do dumb
things but we can’t afford to lose one
of our young
people and if we’re not going to lose
them we’re going to have to have some
people they can’t just come and hear
from the preacher on the sermon and then
go away somebody’s got to be touching
their life all week long shaping their
mentality shaping their Spirit shaping
and molding their way of thinking
Potters get
involved Potters get involved in the
life of the youth in the Next Generation
mold them God’s looking for Potter’s
dads God’s looking for Potter’s
mom God’s looking for Potters a Potter
says uh I can’t let you go out in
that let me shape you a little bit in
that area let let me help you a little
bit you know those those friends let let
let me I want to know who let me look at
your phone let me see your phone you you
ain’t got nothing to hide do
you what are you doing you’re shaping a
holy
vessel then he said in Ezekiel he
started talking about beautiful ships I
didn’t have time to read it he said they
were expensive and gorgeous and
beautiful ships we’d call them yachts
he said the sales were so expensive they
were made out of material the best
material from Egypt and the and the
boards of the ship came were the Cedars
from Lebanon that been imported and oh
these gorgeous ships and he’s talking
about the captain and he’s talking about
the pilot which is the captain talking
about all these powerful important
people and then he says but he also
appointed
caulkers that down in the hull of the
ship nobody sees
them they’re not up there with the
wheel doing Instagram pictures they’re
down in the bottom of the
ship and they’re caulkers y’all know
what a culer is now they told me I don’t
i’ had to never use one of these and I
was trying so hard to get that part off
I wanted to illustrate I was going to
shoot it if it was shoot I didn’t know
what it would do and they said you
cannot do that because if you want if
you want to ruin your outfit I said oh
no Sharice will kill me don’t do
that and this is and this is what we’re
supposed to be
too because it doesn’t matter how
beautiful the ship is it doesn’t matter
how beautiful the marriage is it doesn’t
matter how beautiful the home is it
doesn’t matter how beautiful of a life
you have
built you better learn that you have to
have caulking
because because they understood the ship
is beautiful and it’s what we build is
incredible but it has to be maintained
and so they had people down in the
bottom of the ship and all they did was
look at the Cedars of Lebanon and they
looked at those boards and every once in
a while it would begin to seep with
water and they would caul it seal
it they would seal it up from
leaking they would SE it up because they
understood that if the ship starts
taking on water it doesn’t matter how
beautiful it looks outwardly if it’s
leaking on the inside it’s a matter of
time before it goes down the caulkers
were men wise men in the
ship and they said oh no this ship is
going somewhere and so I I need to I
need to stop the
seeping of things from coming in that’s
what happened to Noah God told him to
pitch it called it pitch it pitch The
Ark on the outside and the inside in
other words I want you to pitch it I
want you to caul it on the outside to
keep some bad stuff from coming
in but I also want you to caul it on the
inside to keep the good
stuff from going
out we ought to have each other’s back
we ought not to sit down and be okay
with hearing what everybody’s saying and
it ought to be true with words and it
ought to be true
online I want to tell you something you
need to be careful what you say and you
need to be careful what you listen to
some of you are have some haters on
Instagram or on redit or whatever and
you need to get you a holy ghost
caulking gun and you need to just say
you know what I’m beautiful I look good
I don’t care what they’re saying about
me they may be bringing up my past but
I’m on cul it Hallelujah and I’m going
to say thanks be unto God I don’t have
to give myself to
that don’t don’t listen to it don’t read
it you’re a new creation in Christ the
old things have passed away CA
it somebody shout and say it’s the truth
turn to somebody and say you need to C
what God’s given you in this revival I’m
not going to lose it you can lose the
worship if you want to you can lose the
the consciousness of God if you want to
those of you who got touched in this
revival it can just you’ll just seep it
out if you let it but if you get you a
good word and you get you some desire
you can caul
it and you can keep what God gave
you I really believe God wants to use
you this year I really believe that God
wants to place his hand some of you are
going to help mold and help form even
your own family your own children you
have the hands of a Potter and a spirit
of a Potter and an anointing to shape
and to mold and to make that vessel into
what God has called it to be and if
you’re listening to me right now and you
don’t know Jesus Christ as your savior
why don’t you start off right why don’t
you start this week off by saying Jesus
Christ I love you just say it I love you
I know you I know who you are and I
Surrender I believe in you wash me in
the blood of Calvary cleanse me and fill
me with your precious Holy Spirit I want
to be Spirit-filled I want to walk in
Victory this year I want to walk in the
strength of God I want the wisdom and
favor of God on me and my family and
then say this Lord use me use me I know
you want to use me and I want to help
put people’s Liv lives back together and
keep them in a place of Victory use me
to bless others this year in Jesus name
you know that’s a prayer that’s right in
the will of God you don’t even have to
worry if that’s God’s will it’s his will
that not any should perish that includes
you it’s his will to save you it’s his
will to use you and I thank God for that
