Claypot

CLAY POT!

You are nothing, (Jn.15:5)

But, just a clay pot, (2 Cor.4:7)

Gifted to Impart, (Rom.1:11)

Blessed to be a Blessing, (Gen 12:2)

Received to Deliver, (1Cor.15:3)

Enlightened to Make Known, (Eph.3:2)

Equipped to Entrust, (2Tim. 2:2)

Privileged to be Responsible. (Gen. 1:28)

Yes divinely PASSIVE, (Eph.1:4)

Be manly ACTIVE! (2Cor.6:1)

You, a Recipient of Grace, (Eph.3:8)

Be an Ambassador of Grace! (2 Cor. 5:20)

GENESIS FOR READERS

This morning I was reading through the book of Genesis again. Few interesting facts for Readers:

—1. The book Genesis has around 38, 262 words (around 40,000 with introductions, headings, and footnotes).

—2. No matter what your translation is, expect the book of Psalms and the book of Jeremiah to be larger than the book of Genesis, over 42,000 - 43,000 each.

—3. Genesis is larger than the novellas Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, C S. Lewis (36,363); Animal Farm, George Orwell (29,966) and A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens (28,944)

—4. Genesis is longer than any book of Shakespeare. His longest book is Hamlet (30,066) and his shortest is Macbeth (17,084)

—5. You can read the whole book of Genesis in one sitting (even without checking WhatsApp notification or going washroom😁)

—6. If you have read through the book of Genesis in one sitting, you can take a deep breath of relief with a sense of satisfaction that your effort and achievement is greater than reading through some of the famous books!👍

—7. If you can read through the book of Genesis in one sitting, you can read any book of the Bible in one sitting. (And yeah, many books in the market available too)!

So, why not try it? I've done a few times already with joy, peace, and wonderment! Not just for the effort and achievement, but most importantly the bliss of re-discovering God's truth to transform one's life and others around us too!

Have a nice day!🙋‍
