IS THIS NOT THE CARPENTER?

JUICY JULY 2025: ABBA FATHER

DAY 23: IS THIS NOT THE CARPENTER?

TEXT: MARK 6:2-3, MATTHEW 13:55; 1 CORINTHIANS 1:27-29; PSALM 126

BIBLE STUDY: HEBREWS 2

ECHOES OF TRUTH

 

Welcome to Day 23 of Juicy July 2025, sis! Glory be to God Almighty! What a faithful God we serve. He has carried us, preserved us, helped us, and strengthened us through this course of fire, tears, power, and intimacy. We give Him all the glory. 

I don’t know if you know this song, but if you do, sing it with all your heart today:

Even when I don’t see it, You’re working…
Even when I don’t feel it, You’re working…
He’d never stopped, He never stopped working… 

That’s it, my dear sisters.

If there’s anything you must guard in this season, it is your faith. Protect your faith like a treasure. The enemy knows that if he can steal your faith, he can mess with your fire. When you’re praying and it feels like the heavens are closed, don’t stop. Push through. Many times, it is in that pushing, that pressing, that something breaks.

Push through the wall, and fire will fall, sis!!

EXHORTATION: IS THIS NOT THE CARPENTER?

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…” John 1:14

Jesus is the eternal Word. He was there in the beginning. All things were made through Him. But for thirty years, He hid Himself in the plainness of human life. No stage. No spotlight. No miracles. Just obedience.

He became a man. A carpenter’s son. Then, a carpenter. He worked with wood, the very material He created. He shaped planks and fixed doors. He used hammers and nails, tools that would later pierce His hands. He walked the dusty roads of Nazareth as one of them. Not as a King. Not as a Rabbi. Just Jesus, the carpenter’s son (Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3).

And yet, He never sinned. Not once. Not in secret. Not in thought. “He was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” Hebrews 4:15

This is the Son of God. Silent. Hidden. Faithful.

Then came a divine leading. The Holy Spirit stirred Him to go for baptism. That baptism wasn’t for the righteous. It was for sinners. It was for those needing repentance. But Jesus had no sin (2 Corinthians 5:21). He had nothing to repent of.

Still, He went.

He walked into the waters of Jordan and stood among men who were broken and dirty. He didn’t separate Himself. He identified with us. He stood in our place.

And then, heaven responded.

As He rose out of the water: 

  • The heavens tore open.
  • The Spirit descended like a dove. 
  • And the voice of the Father echoed:
    “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17
    “Listen to Him.” Mark 9:7

Why did heaven open?
Because of obedience!!!

Not just that moment, but years of private obedience. Years of saying yes to the Father. Years of silence. Years of service. Years of purity in secret.

 

FROM WILDERNESS TO WONDER

After the heavens opened and the voice of the Father thundered approval, the next step was not a celebration, sis. It was war.

“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.” Matthew 4:1

Right after divine approval came divine testing. The Spirit Himself led Jesus into the dry, lonely place. Why? Because every son must be proven. Every destiny must pass through fire. It happened to Adam in Eden. As soon as God blessed him, the serpent appeared (Genesis 3). And now, it was happening to Jesus, the second Adam. He had to pass the test the first Adam failed.

Jesus fasted for forty days and nights (Matthew 4:2). No food. No comfort. No crowd. Just hunger and God. Just the Word and the wilderness.

When the devil came, Jesus didn’t argue. He didn’t cry. He didn’t panic. He responded with Scripture.“It is written…” (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10). That was His weapon. And with that, He overcame every lie. He rejected every shortcut. He defeated Satan not with signs, but with the Word. Then, the season shifted!!!

“Then the devil left Him, and angels came and attended to Him.” Matthew 4:11

The test ended. The fire proved Him. The wilderness didn’t destroy Him, it launched Him. From that place of brokenness and power, He stepped into Galilee. And miracles began. (Luke 4:13-14)

 

“IS THIS NOT THE CARPENTER?”

As Jesus began His ministry, the crowds marveled. The blind saw. The lame walked. And yet, those who knew Him before were confused.

“Is this not the carpenter’s son? Are not His sisters with us?” Mark 6:3

“Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?” John 6:42

They were asking in unbelief. In mockery. In shock.

To them, Jesus was the neighborhood boy. The one who made their furniture. The one they ate with. The one who disappeared for a while… and came back with fire.

Now, He spoke with authority. He cast out demons. Power flowed from His words. And the only explanation they could offer was: “Is this not the carpenter?”

They couldn’t believe that glory could come from such a common place.

 

YOUR LIFE WILL ANSWER THAT QUESTION

By the same Spirit that raised Jesus, I prophesy this into your life, dear sister that:

Your story is about to shock your generation!
There is a kind of transformation coming upon you that will make people stop and ask, “Is this not…?”

In the Mighty Name of Jesus! 

They will remember your weakness.

They will recall your failures.

They will say, “But wasn’t she the one who struggled?”


“Wasn’t she the one who had nothing?”


“Wasn’t she the one with a limp?”


“Wasn’t she not the barren one?”


“Didn’t we grow up together?”


“Isn’t she the one who used to stutter and couldn’t even lead opening prayer?”


“Wasn’t she the one who always failed exams and couldn’t even speak English well?”


“Is this not the girl who wore the same slippers to school every day?”


“Wasn’t she the one with just one dress and one scarf for years?”


“Is this not the lady that couldn’t conceive for 9 years?”


“Isn’t this the girl with a very sad marriage?”


“Wasn’t she the ‘church rat’? Always in church, but nothing to show?”


“Is this not the one whose father disowned her?”


“Didn’t her business crash?”


“Wasn’t she the one they called barren? Dry? Unmarriageable?”


“Is this not the one who once attempted suicide?”


“Isn’t she the one who used to borrow money to eat?”


“Wasn’t she the slow one in school? The one no one thought would become anything?”


“Isn’t this the same girl who was always overlooked for leadership and called a ‘nobody’?”


“Isn’t she the ugly one that guys used to mock?”

“Isn’t she the one who used to bedwet?”

“Wasn’t she the girl that always cried in the corner after church service?”

“Is this not the carpenter?”

Yes. It is. But now, it is the carpenter with glory! Hallelujah! 

 

THIS IS HOW GOD WORKS

God does not start with the proud. He looks for the humble. The broken. The surrendered.

Lucifer was full of beauty, made from the best stones and he fell (Ezekiel 28:14–15). But God took dust and made man (Genesis 2:7). He gave the dust the dominion Lucifer wanted. He crowned clay with glory!

Jesus came riding on a donkey, not a war horse (Zechariah 9:9). He came as a Lamb, not a lion (John 1:29). He chose Nazareth, not Rome. He called fishermen and handed the church over to them, sis, not to theological leaders, not to Pharisees! (Matthew 4:18–19).

This is God’s way. He hides treasure in jars of clay. He places greatness in fragile vessels.

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” 2 Corinthians 4:7

 

“God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise…” 1 Corinthians 1:27

 

IS THIS NOT THE CARPENTER?

Have you ever been in a place where people looked down on you?

Maybe they judged your looks, your size, your face, your skin, your dressing.

Maybe they scoffed at your intelligence.

Maybe they whispered because you “talk about God too much.”

Maybe your spiritual fire is mocked, misunderstood, or even silenced.

Maybe they looked at your family and frowned because you don’t appear wealthy or polished enough.

Maybe your husband has faced silent ridicule for not being “bouyant.”

Maybe your children have been compared, mocked for not being as “sharp” or as “beautiful.”

Maybe you come from a small village… or your accent makes people chuckle.

Maybe you feel invisible.

But today, hear this, sis!

THE LORD IS READY TO SHOCK THE WORLD WITH YOUR STORY!

 

The Lord is ready to brood over you. He is working on you, even now. And when He is done, those same people who looked down on you will pause and say:

“Is this not the carpenter?”

“Are these not the carpenter’s children?”

“Is this not the carpenter’s husband?”

“Is this not the carpenter’s home?”

They will look again and they will wonder!

Because that’s what the Lord does. He lifts the lowly. He beautifies the broken. He silences mockers, not necessarily by fighting them, but by glorifying Himself through you!

 

A SONG OF SURRENDER

If you know this song, lift it with all your heart:

Fa ye mi da’ra,
Fa ye mi da’ra ire.
(“Use my life for something glorious. Let my life glorify You greatly on.”)

This song is a simple but deep prayer:
Take my life and use it for Your glory.
Use me as a vessel to show Your greatness.
Make my life a testimony of Your power.

 

FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE

Even Jesus was known simply as “the carpenter.” Not Rabbi, not Savior, not Master… not yet. Just “the carpenter.” The One who built tables with His hands was quietly building the Kingdom in His spirit. No honor, no spotlight, no “platform.” He was the Messiah, yet He lived like a common man. The King of Glory, yet without recognition in His own town. Even His own people could not perceive the weight of eternity living among them. “Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary?” they asked. Their eyes were too blind to see the glory wrapped in simplicity.

He didn’t come with noise. He didn’t arrive with fame. He came with surrender. He walked in deep, quiet obedience, and chose the way of lowliness. Thirty full years of hidden obedience. Thirty years of doing the will of His Father in the secret place, in the mundane, in the ordinary, in the silence of Nazareth. But every “yes” in secret was storing up divine approval!!! Every moment of surrender was building a weight of glory ahead!

And then, ah, when the time came, Heaven opened. The Spirit descended like a dove. The Father spoke, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 

The One who had been silent for so long suddenly began to speak with authority. The One who had been hidden began to shine in power. And from that point, miracles followed Him. Because He had submitted in full to His Father. He had passed the test of quiet obedience. He had conquered the wilderness of being misunderstood, overlooked, and hidden.

This is the call to obedience and surrender sis. Obedience is the true anointing. Surrender is the key that unlocks divine backing!

So if they only see you as “just the hairdresser,” “just the girl who prays too much,” “just that stay-at-home mum,” or “just the usher”, don’t fight for visibility. Stay obedient. Stay in formation. Stay hidden if God hides you. Because the day of unveiling will come. And when it comes, heaven will speak for you and everyone would be awed!

So today, say with your whole heart:

“Take me. Take all of me. Every part. Every weakness. Every shame. Every wound. I give my life to You, Father. Shape me. Mold me. Use me. I refuse to lose my life trying to preserve it. Use me for Your glory.”

Sing this prayer song powerfully before going on, sis: 

 

TAKE ALL OF ME- Joshua Selman

 

A TABLE IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR ENEMIES

Dear sis, the Lord wants to prepare a feast for you. Yes, a table in the presence of those who mocked you. Just like Psalm 23:5 says: “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies…”

They will not be removed, they will be made to watch!

Those who judged you, gossiped about your home, mocked your family, they will witness the glory God is setting upon you.

But hear this warning: You must cooperate with Him. You must not carry the devil’s tools in your heart. Don’t let bitterness, anger, or unforgiveness become weapons that stop your breakthrough. Cleanse yourself. Lay down every weight. Let the Potter have His clay. Let the Master Painter beautify your life. Remember, He painted the whole universe with just His Word. He hung stars. He stretched skies. He layered sunsets and splashed oceans.

That same God wants to paint your life. He wants to paint your home, your womb, your children, your business, your marriage. And when He is done…People will say, “Is this not the carpenter’s marriage?” “Is this not the carpenter’s child?” “Is this not the carpenter’s business?” “Is this not the carpenter’s husband?” “Is this not the carpenter’s ministry?” “Is this not the carpenter’s picture?” “Is this not the carpenter’s project?” “Is this not the carpenter’s house?”


WHAT CAN STOP HEAVEN FROM OPENING?

But what can stop this from happening? What can block God’s plan for your life? What keeps the heavens locked?

The same villain again: SIN!

Sin is the enemy’s doorway into your life. Sometimes it slips in quietly, offense, bitterness, pride, secret grudges. Maybe someone insulted your family, and you’ve held onto it. Maybe someone failed you when you needed help, and that pain still sits in your chest. Those “little” wounds can become Satan’s legal ground to hinder the move of God.

But hear this and hold it tightly from Juicy July 2025: God is your Father!!!

Don’t carry the spirit of offense. Don’t feel forsaken or forgotten. If someone didn’t help you, it wasn’t God’s will for them to. And if someone did help you, it was God who moved their heart. Let that truth set you free.

Release the disappointment. Release the bitterness over what you didn’t receive. The gifts, support, presence, comfort. Let go of the silent anger over who didn’t show up when your parents died… who didn’t check in when you were crushed. Let go.

Say with faith: “Father, You can make something beautiful out of my life. If You shaped the formless earth into beauty, You can shape me. I release my empty, broken, and unformed life into Your hands. Glorify Yourself in me, that I may glorify You.”

 

WHEN HEAVEN OPENS…

When heaven opens over your life, and the Lord Himself approves of you, the earth will know. The world will pause and wonder. They will whisper, “Is this not the same girl we knew?” “Is this not the carpenter’s son?”

They will marvel, because the hand of God has lifted you. But if heaven remains shut, if favor is withheld, the pain will linger. The shame will press down. The struggle will be unbearable. You may be overlooked, rejected, mocked.

But sisters, it is time to rise.

We’ve been journeying through Juicy July for the past 22 days, burying ourselves in prayer, soaking in the Word, crying, breaking, repenting, and yearning for more of God. But now, the Lord is asking a piercing question: What will come out of this womb? What will be born from this intensity, from all this pressing and kneeling? Because God never broods without birthing. He never hovers without producing.

The Lord is ready to make something beautiful out of your life, sis. Not just something that makes people applaud. Not just something you admire in a mirror and say, “Look at how far I’ve come.” No. He wants to do more than beautify you, He wants to weaponize you!!!! 

Yes, you will be a beautiful painting for His glory, but not one hanging idle on a wall. You will be a sword sharpened in the fire of His Spirit. A pot, not for decoration, but for pouring out oil, healing oil, warring oil, destiny oil.

You will be a vessel that walks into enemy camps leaking light, dripping fire, causing chaos in the kingdom of darkness. 

Ayaaa, sis, this is not a season of soft displays. This is a season of divine deployment. He wants to put you on display, for victory. Not for applause, but for impact. Not just for your fulfillment, but for kingdom takeover.

The Lord wants to use His glory upon your life to tear down strongholds, to uproot ancestral altars, to silence generational patterns of bondage. He is calling you to unseat the Jezebels hiding in family lines, to lay hands on wombs declared dead and speak life, to overturn verdicts placed on bloodlines. You will carry His glory into rooms. His Spirit into systems. His light into shadows! Can you shout ‘Amen!!’, sis?

And He’s saying: “You, daughter, will be My sign and My wonder. You will be My battle axe. You will carry My essence in the market, in the boardroom, in the kitchen, in the bedroom, on the mountain, and in the valley. I will make your life a rebuke to hell and a fragrance of life to nations.”

But here is the condition, sis. 

He cannot display a woman who still hides in shame, fear, unworthiness. 

He cannot use a vessel that refuses to break. Who is overconfident, full of self, proud, unsubmissive. 

He cannot pour out from a jar sealed with fear, pride, jealousy, shame, or offense.

Sister, let Him finish the painting. Let Him complete the pot. Let Him trim you, prune you, dig into you, rebuild you until you become the woman who makes the world pause and say, “Is this not the carpenter’s woman?”

They will say, “Is this not the girl we used to mock?”
“Is this not the mother of the boy they called slow?”
“Is this not the wife of the man they said was useless?”

And the answer will be yes. Yes, it is she. But now, the Carpenter has touched her. Now, the fire of God has come upon her. Now, she has become a wonder. Now, the Potter has displayed His finest work.

So rise, daughter of Zion. You were not broken for nothing. You were not mocked for nothing. You were not rejected for nothing. It was all for this glory. This revealing. This burning. This rising.

Let the daughters rise. Let the vessels be filled. Let the paintings be unveiled. The Carpenter is ready to display His glory. Are you ready?

DEAD ON ARRIVAL

STIRRING THE WATERS

Dear sister, it is that special moment. 10 good minutes of stirring the waters, of praying in the Holy Ghost. Please gladly take this short pause. Let the instrumental below play and just stir. Don’t rush this. Pray in the Spirit. Abba to Daughter. Spirit to Spirit.

And if you haven’t received the gift of the Holy Spirit yet? This is YOUR TIME! Cry out to Abba:  “Father, fill me! Baptize me! Immerse me in Your Spirit! I need You for life, Holy Spirit, come. Baptize me with the Holy Ghost and Father, please grant me another pentecost in Jesus Name”

Let’s start stirring. 

 

 

TAKE CHARGE

We are daughters, let’s take charge over the territories where we are represented right now. 

Father, by Your mighty Name, I sanctify my body, my home, and my atmosphere right now. I cover myself with the blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11) and declare every strange spirit, every demonic stronghold, to flee by fire (Psalm 34:7). I cleanse this place and myself from every trace of darkness (2 Corinthians 6:17). Let Your Holy Spirit fill this space and my life with Your perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). I take authority as Your beloved daughter and refuse to be moved. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

 

START PRAYING

Sis, if you’ve ever prayed before, now is the time to turn it up! Cry out from your heart: 

  • O Lord, my God! I repent for every season I lived on my own terms. Have mercy and deliver me from the fruit of disobedience in the Mighty Name of Jesus! 
  • Every altar of rebellion in my heart, catch fire now! (7x) I renounce every stubbornness I once called “strength” in the name of Jesus! 
  • Father, I have wandered, but I return! Wrap me again in the robe of Your will. I surrender! 
  • O God of second chances, let the blood of Jesus wash my wasted years and rewrite my story, I plead, oh Lord! 
  • Every disobedience in my life that opened doors to delay and mockery, be swallowed up by the blood of Jesus! 
  • O God of Heaven, silence every voice asking mockingly, “Is this not the carpenter?” in my life! 
  • Anointing that turns ridicule into relevance, fall upon my life now by fire! 
  • Every spell of smallness cast upon me by familiarity, break by the blood of Jesus! 
  • I reject every label the world has placed on me! I embrace the volume of what is written concerning me in the Mighty Name of Jesus! 
  • Jesus, the rejected stone, became the Chief Cornerstone, Ah, O Lord, by mercy, lift me above every rejection! 
  • I speak to my destiny: You will not remain in the carpenter’s shop! You will rise into divine expression in the Mighty Name of Jesus! 
  • Altars of limitation in my father’s house, mother’s house, and place of birth, scatter by fire! I ascend!!! 
  • Every spiritual embargo that says “You are not more than this!” be lifted now from my life forever in Jesus’ name! 
  • Voices from my past that keep trying to define my future, shut up and be silenced forever! 
  • I cast off every garment of low expectations, mediocrity, and invisibility in the name of Jesus! 
  • Where they’ve known me as carpenter, may they witness my transformation to a glorious wonder in Jesus’ name! 
  • Like Jesus, I walk in obedience until the heavens open and the Father announces me! Help me, Lord never to veer off the path of obedience all the days of my life, Daddy. 
  • Powers that laughed at me yesterday, may they bow to the glory of God rising upon me henceforth in the Name of Jesus! 
  • I will not remain where they left me! I will not be imprisoned by who they think I am! I rise in the Name of Jesus! 
  • Where I was mocked, let Your power raise me as a miracle! Let those who said “can anything good come from her?” eat their words! 
  • Holy Ghost Fire, burn every script the devil wrote for my life! I delete sorrow, confusion, and wasted years! 
  • O God, the Breaker of records and patterns, change my story! Let my testimony provoke revival! 
  • Jesus, walk into my Nazareth and change my atmosphere! Let angels descend with new instructions, new oil, new visibility! 
  • Where they said “she’s just that girl…”, let the power of the Holy Spirit change my “just” to “wow!” Heaven, be opened over me now in the Mighty Name of Jesus.  
  • I refuse to be the shadow of what God wrote about me! O Lord, change my story until Your prophecy becomes my reality! 
  • Every delay attached to disobedience, be swallowed by mercy! Let grace rewrite what time and sin destroyed!

 

NOW, DECLARE:

I reject every old name and identity that life, men, or hell gave me. I am not that struggling girl anymore. I am not that confused lady. I am not that victim. I have encountered fire, and my DNA has shifted. I shake off the dust of Nazareth the place of low expectations, familiar contempt, and small thinking. Let every power still trying to define me by my past scatter by fire! I wear the new name God has called me. I am chosen, transformed, and anointed for glory on the Name of Jesus!

O Lord, by Your mercy and fire, change my story in a way that cannot be reversed! Let the very places where I was mocked become the stages where You glorify Yourself through me. Let the voices that once said, “Is this not the poor girl?” come and say, “Surely the Lord has helped her.” I declare that my story is shifting permanently. From dryness to fruitfulness. From shame to honour. From silence to supernatural announcements!

I have dwelt too long on this mountain of hiding. Enough! I break out of every delay, every demonic silence, and every system of invisibility! I will not be bypassed anymore. I will no longer be overlooked. By the Spirit that raised Jesus from Nazareth to the nations, I rise into my ordination. My destiny will no longer be in hiding. My voice will no longer be muted. My gifts will no longer be buried. I declare: Let there be light. Let there be revealing!

I command every mocking voice, be silenced! Every whisper that says I will never rise, that I will never marry, that I will never carry my baby, that I will never amount to anything, that I will never be used by God, catch fire! I no longer live under the weight of human opinions. My validation is not from man, it is from the One who tore the veil and gave me access. Let every old label be burned by the fire of the Holy Ghost. I am not the failure. I am not the rejected. I am not the one they left behind. I am the one God is lifting!

My years of silence were not wasted,  they were seasons of consecration. My obedience in secret is about to provoke heaven’s loud approval! I declare that every seed I sowed in prayer, pain, purity, and persistence is catching fire! My wilderness season was my womb  and now it’s time to give birth. The oil is flowing. The mantle is resting. The fire is falling. My obedience will not be forgotten. My reward will not be delayed!

Every part of me that has died under shame, trauma, and rejection, hear the voice of the Lord, come alive! Dreams I buried because of fear, hope I let go of because of disappointment, strength that failed under pressure, I command you, rise again! I refuse to live a life of survival when God has called me to dominion. I prophesy over myself: I will live, I will speak, I will shine, I will testify in the name of Jesus!

Let it be known that I serve a God who lifts beggars from dunghills. The same people who said, “Can anything good come out of her?” will say, “This can only be God.” The same streets where I was ignored will be the place where God glorifies His name through me. I will be a wonder, not because of who I am, but because of whose I am. My life will become an altar of fire and proof that obedience to God is not in vain!

When the Lord restored the captivity of Zion, they were like them that dream! I declare: I am Zion, and the Lord has remembered me! My years of weeping are over. My seasons of dryness are over. I am stepping into a harvest that will look like a dream! I will not only testify, my testimony will shock nations!

Those who saw me bound, broken, crawling, and confused will come again, but this time to witness my restoration. The same mouth that said, “Is this not the one who was barren, poor, lost, small?” will say, “See what the Lord has done!” For the Lord has dealt bountifully with me! He has turned my captivity around! My name has changed. My garments have changed. My song has changed. My status has changed. My level has changed!

I AM ZION! I AM THE RESTORED OF THE LORD! I AM HIS SHOWPIECE OF MY FATHER’S MERCY, POWER, AND GLORY! I AM A SIGN AND A WONDER! AYAAAAAA!!! HALLELUJAH!

2. God to bless my children, give them all round breakthroughs, instill His love in their hearts
3. God should fill me with His Holy Spirit 

 

ROUND OFF WITH THANKSGIVING, SISTERS. 

 

FATHER’S CORNER

Let the instrumental below play freely while you talk to God. Imagine Him seated right before you. Now, start to talk to Him like you can see Him. Heaven is open. Your Father is right before you. Ask away! Ask real things, meat, not chaff. It’s you and Him now. Spend this 10 minutes well, unrushed. spend more time if you so desire but make sure you spend time with your father. I can promise you before July ends, you’d start to have encounters you never knew existed! Ayaaa… Just open your mouth and let it pour! Amen!

Round off with thanksgiving when you are done.
