TOPIC: A WET WOOD 4: HONOUR VESSEL
Memory Verse: Prov. 26:20
“20 Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.”
Bible Reading: 2 Tim. 2:20.
“20 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.
21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.”
In this dispensation of the Holy Spirit, we Christians has become so judgemental and being led by eye-service and wealth even in our churches. Most times our focus is far from the focus of God. We have turn the word of God which says, “The righteous shall live by faith” to “The righteous shall live by sight and experience”. We keep looking up to some set of people has the “honour vessel” and relegated some as “dishonour vessel” just by sight and not by faith. We focus on the gold and silver most time and neglected the wood and the clay in the house of God.
20 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. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
The house of God is full of diverse of Honorable vessels (in diff capacity). Everybody is important and valued regardless of how we all look like. That someone has no silver or gold (wealth) doesn’t mean he/she is useless in God’s house. The truth be told, most silver and gold vessels are not that active like the clay and wood vessels in the sight of God because the material is not what God is after, it’s the ability to be an honoured vessel, that’s what God is after. The heart and not the eye service, availability for the master’s use is what qualifies a material not the make of the material. Those people you see as wood and clay in your place of worship, work and environs might be real vessel of honour to God.
The question is this, Are you that vessel of honour? Not just the wood, clay, silver or gold but are you a honourable vessel in God’s hand? God is still in search for honourable vessels, for the field is ripe for harvest, can He find you? Are you a vessel unto honour or dishonoured? Stop looking down on others and focus on being the honourable vessel, either you are a wood, clay, silver or Gold. Just be a honour vessel.
