A VESSEL OF HONOUR

Text: 2 Timothy 2:20 

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.

Prior to this study text, Apostle Paul mentioned two workers in God's vineyard who have erred concerning the faith. They were now preaching heresy that resurrection is past already. This simply means that our core belief in the Lord Jesus Christ is no longer valid.The scripture also states clearly in first Corinthians 15:16 that if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.  

It is therefore obvious that these two persons (Hymenaeus and Philetus) are destroyers of faith. The scripture says that they have overthrown the faith of many. (2Timothy 2:18).

In spite of any heretical teaching or wrong belief systems one may be holding, God's foundation is both firm and sure. *Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity." (2 Timothy 2:19)*.

We must not take the mercy and grace of our gracious and merciful  God for granted in any way. He lovingly demands everyone who names His name to depart from iniquity. We cannot remain and continue in sin and expect grace to abound. (Romans 6:1).

As a genuine child of God, He wants you to completely depart from iniquity. There are too many mix-up out there in the name of Christianity. You must stay clear from every character, and dispositions that do not correlate with the holiness of our God.

The scripture now compare all the worshippers in God's house to vessels. *But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. (2 Timothy 2:20).* 

Although, there are many vessels in the great house, you must do all within God's grace that is bestowed upon you to stand out as God's precious and Honourable vessel. It's your choice not to be a vessel unto dishonour but unto honour.
That is the reason God's word beseech you by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.(Romans 12:1). 

 *It is God who sanctifies, but it's your responsibility to present yourself as a vessel that needed sanctification.* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Father God, I receive the grace to continually present myself as a living sacrifice, Holy and acceptable unto you in Jesus name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
