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 33-34, Acts 13:24-52
MESSAGE:
Several years ago, we had a house-help who consumed any leftover food in the house, not minding whose scraps it was, so my children jokingly nicknamed her dustbin. The day I heard them call her that, I queried them and they said she eats anything; always receiving, never giving.
One of the vessels in every house is a dustbin or garbage bag, its very useful but unto dishonour. In your journey with God, you must not be a dustbin; where anyone dumps just anything in you because you’re static and not progressing. A teenager who is always receiving and never giving out will become a pool of stagnant water that stinks.
Another quality of a dustbin is that its used to carry wastes and not beautiful things. You must run away from sin; sin is a form of waste that must not be found in or around you if you don’t want to be a vessel unto dishonour.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please don’t let me lose honour before You and men.
HYMN 3: ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER
- All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
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!
