QUENCH NOT THE SPIRIT MEMORY VERSE: - 1 Thessalonians 5:19 - “Do not quench the Spirit" The Greek word for “ Quench ” is " SBENNUMI " which means “to extinguish” or “to put out.” The word was used to refer to putting out fires, sparks, or the putting out of a lamp. Now, Paul in the text above is advising us not to put out the sparks of the Holy Spirit in us. There are several ways through which the believer can quench the Spirit and one of those is prayerlessness. Many are too weak in prayer, they prefer others to pray for them rather than doing it themselves. Prayer is fellowship, it is communion, it is that special moment we discuss with God. Moreover, prayer is the weapon of our warfare through which we deal with things that come to trouble us. We are to pray at all times, whether we feel like it or not. Even as Paul told us, "Pray without ceasing" 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Child of God, we must keep the Flem of the fellowship of the Holy Spirit burning, we m...

THE CHOSEN VESSEL PT 6 MEMORY VERSE: - 2 Timothy 2:20-21 - "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." Now, our text made us to understand that not every vessel that is found in a great house is right and can be of use by the master of the house. Some vessels are useless as a result, they are valueless and unimportant. Whilst some are very useful thus, they are valuable and of uttermost importance.  Therefore, there's room for growth and excellence..... It's not enough to be a chosen vessel but to become a vessel of honour, a vessel that God can be proud of, a vessel made ready for the master's use. You must understand that things do not just happen, people make them happen. As a result, one must work ...

  THE CHOSEN VESSEL PT 5 MEMORY VERSE: - 2 Timothy 2:20-21 - "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." Furthermore if you want to be a chosen vessel, you need to drop off your tradition. I hear some believers say things like 'This is how we do it in my family, this is how we do it in my place or in my village'.... You can't be actively doing bids of your tradition and want to be God's chosen vessel, it will not work. Jesus says, "you nullify the word of God by your traditions" ( Mark 7:13 ). As a child of God, you are separated from every form of humanistic traditions because mixing the traditions of men and Christianity is serving two masters and certainly, you can't serve two mast...

THE CHOSEN VESSEL PT 4 MEMORY VERSE: - 2 Timothy 2:20-21 - "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." Beloved, understand that in this kingdom we die to live. Until you come to the end of yourself, you can never live the kingdom life. You must die to your ways, die to your self-will, die to your mindset, die to your bad attitude. In John 12:24 Jesus said, "I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone [just one grain, never more]. But if it dies, it produces much grain and yields a harvest." (AMP) . You can never access your full scope of divine assignment in this world unless you die to things that are resistant to your achieving them. ...

  THE CHOSEN VESSEL PT 3 MEMORY VERSE: - 2 Timothy 2:20-21 - "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." Upon consecration of themselves, the children of Israel were assured of enjoying God’s blessings. The Lord promised that He would do amazing things among them (See Joshua 3:5). Therefore, consecrating ourselves also benefits us in a great way. Someone might say, the believer does not need to be consecrated because Jesus has consecrated himself for us. Child of God, listen, Jesus consecration did not in any way stop our consecration. In John 17:19 Jesus said, "I’m consecrating myself for their sakes So they’ll be truth-consecrated in their mission" (MSG). By consecrating himself, Jesus showed us that w...

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." In part 1 of this series we saw what it means to be chosen and what a vessel is. Now, let us bring the two words together, 'CHOSEN VESSEL' To become a chosen vessel is not for those who mess around or violate their vessel.  It is not entered into by being religious, it is not entered into by your looks or by physical appearance but it is entered into by:  1. CONSECRATION Joshua 3:5 says, "Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” (ESV). They had to make themselves ready for the Lord by purging, cleansing,...
