Using a single utility class to log messages is exactly against the log4j paradigm. Log4J allows different classes to have their own individually configured logger instances according to your wishes as specified in the *.properties or *.xml file. The utility class would itself be using only a single log4j logger which has only a single level, which unfortunately removes one of LOG4J greatest design strengths.
