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 ...

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...

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. ...

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,...

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." God's church is the great house here and it's not every body in the church that is qualified to enter into a certain realm in God. It is a place reserved for the chosen ones. Salvation is free, but to be chosen will cost you something. In Matthew 22:14 Jesus said, " Many are called but few are CHOSEN." To be " Called " refers to a broad invitation to a general state of salvation or service, while to be "Chosen" signifies a divine selection, to be set apart, and to be singled out for a specific purpose or mission. It is definitely not everyone that is called that gets to be c...

TRUE WORSHIP 4

TRUE WORSHIP 4 MEMORY VERSE: - John 4:24 - "For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth .” True Worship is also something that must be done alongside the truth. You cannot claim to be a true worshipper and yet, you do not live in line with God's word. For if Jesus said the ‘Father is to be worshipped in spirit and in Truth', it then shows how important Truth is to our worship. It is evident that Truth is an important factor in our faith.   We can’t separate Truth from Christianity. It is actually the real deal. What the Father requires from us is to have Truth stored up in us and to live out the Truth. In his letter to the Colossians Church , Paul said, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord" Colossians 3:16 . Without having the indwelling truth in you, you can't worship in spiri...
