The Almighty God is the Chief Planner, the Architect and the Builder per excellence. Before the universe was put together, God planned it. No man is in this world by accident. He told Jeremiah that before He formed him, He knew him (Jeremiah 1:4-5). In the beginning, God had beautiful plans for His creation, but along the line, sin distorted His plans for the universe and particularly for the human race. But God, being the Almighty, decided in His infinite mercy to restore His distorted creation (Jeremiah 18 :1 – 4).
This is an interesting story of a potter and his clay vessel which got damage in the process of being worked. The potter made up his mind to start all over again.
Paul the sinner who later became a saintly apostle of Jesus Christ is one example of a person who experienced the wonders of new creation. In his testimony in 1 Timothy 1 :15; he wrote that he was the chief of sinners. In 2 Corinthians 5 :17, he summed up the wonders of new creation.
In John 3 :1 – 15; Jesus told Nicodemus that he must be born-again in order to see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus them asked Jesus in John 3 :4; that: “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus replied that it is possible to become a new creation by water and the Spirit of God.
All these are mysteries and pointers to the wonders of new creation. For you to experience these wonders, you must surrender you total life to Him who is able to recreate and restore beautiful plans that have been distorted by the evil one.
PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, whatever beautiful plans you have for my life that the enemies have distorted, by the wonders of new creation, let there be a restoration.
