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 This simply means that our core belief in the Lord Jesus Christ is no longer valid.The scripture also states clearly in first Corinthians 15:16 that if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
