READ: 2 Timothy 2:19-22
- Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
- But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
- If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
- Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 31-32; Acts 13:1-52
MESSAGE:
A vessel is an object that serves the master, not himself. All vessels in a house perform one function or the other at different times. For instance, a soup bowl and a food warmer function differently. Every child of God is a type of vessel in Gods house. What distinguishes whether they are unto honour or dishonour is their lifestyle. A vessel unto honour is clean because he or she departs from iniquity and constantly purges himself/herself of any dirt.
One of the benefits of being a vessel unto honour is that the Master will speak to you and through you. I remember the first time I attended a fellowship meeting at the University of Lagos. We were worshiping God, then, all of a sudden everyone became silent and one brother began to prophesy; Thus saith the Lord… and he went on and on. So, I nudged the man who took me there; When did God say that? I asked. He said, Shut up, God is speaking. God was speaking and only one man was hearing; I was there but I wasnt hearing anything at all. However, to God be the glory, today, I hear Him clearly once in a while. Therefore, any teenager who wants to become a vessel unto honour must live a life of consecration.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please make me a vessel unto honour.
HYMNS: ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER
- All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
Chorus
I surrender all, I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
- All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now. - All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me. - All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame;
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
