READ: 2 Timothy 2:19-21
[19]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.
[20]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.
[21]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.
MESSAGE
A vessel is a container that is used to hold liquids or a ship that is used for transportation on water. A vessel unto honour, therefore, is a container that is used for honourable purposes. Children of God, particularly workers in His vineyard, are vessels. While some are vessels unto honour, some are unto dishonour, as we read in today's Bible reading.
God is absolutely pure, and He expects all His children to be pure as well. He cannot compromise His standard when He is in need of a vessel to send on an errand. Thus, as His child, you have a choice to either be a vessel unto honour or a vessel unto dishonour. However, I appeal to you that you become a vessel unto honour. To be a vessel unto honour, you must be without sin, and you must be sanctified and fervent in prayer. Also, you must be prepared to do all that God commands you to do.
Beloved, I can boldly tell you that it is honourable to be a vessel unto honour. When you are a vessel unto honour, you will become God's favourite, and God doesn't joke with His favourites.
ACTION POINT
List ways that you can be a vessel unto honour.
HYMN 12 - Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty
1. Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy!
Merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons,
Blessed Trinity!
2 Holy, holy, holy!
All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim,
Falling down before Thee,
Which went and art
And evermore shalt be.
3 Holy, holy, holy!
Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy,
There is none beside Thee,
Perfect in pow'r, in love,
And purity.
4 Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise
Thy name, in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy!
Merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons,
Blessed Trinity!
