The word for today is - Vessels!

Good morning,

The word for today is - Vessels!

 

The most common form of vessels were cups, bowls or jugs used for storage. These are earthly vessels.  Now we have to understand the word from God talks about vessels, but He is talking from the realm of the Spirit.There were routine household vessels and there were holy vessels used in the Tabernacle and the Temple. You have to understand we are "vessels," or "temples,"of the Holy Ghost. Read 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. Read 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." Also read 2 Corinthians 4:6-7 ,"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." Read Ephesians 2:10, For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.As God's clay, how do we become willing vessels of His grace? Read Colossians 3:5, Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Also, read Luke 16:13, No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Who do you serve? You can not serve both in your vessel. God is always looking for a willing mind and a perfect heart. He wants to use those who qualify, even as He used the great men and women of the Bible. We must choose and obey, even as Solomon did when he built the temple.Read I Chronicles 28:9-10,“As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever. Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.” Healing of the Spirit, Soul and Body always begin with the choice to follow Jesus and to continue to walk with Him.To receive complete wholeness, we must make a complete commitment to the Lord.Read Matthew 22:37-40,Jesus said to him, You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.Thank you God for your word. Amen !
