THE MAN GOD USES
Memorise:
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but
Read: 2nd 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.
Bible in one year:
1st Kings 14:1-15:32, Proverbs 18:1-14
MESSAGE
Today’s memory verse speaks of the availability of vessels
of different makes; designs, and qualities to a great person. The choice of
what vessel to use for any particular purpose is dependent on the master’s
preference and the suitability of each vessel to the assignment at hand. So
also, the man that God will use for any assignment must be found suitable for
kingdom assignment. God is always in the business of searching for suitable
resources that He can use to fulfil His purpose here on earth. Whenever He
locates one, He proceeds with the preparation and training of the chosen for
the assignment. Incidentally, the divine equipment usually employed for the
preparation and training of the man that God will use is the cross. Many
Christians are not fulfilling their purpose in life and ministry because they
have consistently refused the required training for their assignments, and
because they are not found to be suitable yet, their commissioning remains
pending. May the Lord wake you up to the reality of your situation today, so
that you can take your rightful place in the programme of heaven in Jesus’
name.
The man that God will use becomes compleely transformed by
going through the preparation process of God. The relationship that follows
guarantees that the person’s mind, heart, will, and life now belongs to Jesus
Christ, alone, he becomes reoriented with God and God’s kingdom. He is
convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that he or she was created to please God
and would begin to pursue godly purposes with all determination.
In the life of the
man God uses, the words of 2nd Corinthians 9:8 come to play;
“God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all
things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good
work”
Therefore, the man God uses is the person who has absolute
trust, reliance, and faith in God. He relies on God as the source of all
things; he is a man through whom God can do all things. He is fully aware of
God’s agenda in the world, and he lives with a clear, God-given sense of
direction toward fulfilling God’s purpose. The presence of God is with him
always and he is always careful to keep his character and integrity in line
with the Word of God.
The man God uses is able to bring incredible changes and
blessings into the life of anyone that comes in contact with him, through him,
people with broken spirits, unstable families, the poor, those with health
challenges, the demon possessed, and the disenfranchised, can all find peace
and prosperity with God. This is the whole essence of Christianity, and all it
requires is our total submission to the preparation and training process. May
the Lord give you the grace to pay the price for greatness in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father: please give me the grace to depend totally on you
and completely submit myself to Your training in Jesus’ name.
