1 Corinthians 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

Revelation 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald

If you know a little about the formation of crystals or gemstones (such as diamond, sapphire, ruby, jasper, etc); you would know that these are not naturally occurring elements or minerals. They are products of TRANSFORMATION formed under certain extreme conditions.

Under the Earth’s crust, some minerals are forced together for a long time under great pressure and extreme heat and they are metamorphosed into different minerals or crystals, which are beautiful to behold.

For precious stones to form out of the virtues and qualities that God has deposited in your spirit, it needs certain conditions:

Pressure – you will be pressed on many sides, the purpose is not to kill you but to produce valuable assets from you,

Heat – it will not be cool and easy, you will sweat,

Time – it won’t happen in a day; it takes time to be transformed,

Space – the final end product will take the shape of the space given it to form. The child needs space to grow.

THE SHINY AND EXPENSIVE PRECIOUS STONES DON’T JUST POP OUT FROM THIN AIR, THEY ARE PRODUCED UNDER EXTREME Pressure, Heat, Time, and Space. The pressure and the heat you are going through has a purpose, be patient(time) and allow(space) for the new YOU to be formed through TRANSFORMATION. Hallelujah!

Meditate on this and the Lord will give you understanding. Hallelujah! Glory to God!
