CHOSEN VESSEL

   A vessel can be a container of liquid.Biologically, a vessel is a tube or canal that carries fluid in animal, human or plant.A vessel can be traced biblically as an instrument of use in the hands of the Father, as we are aware that an earthen vessel is made by a potter who is at discretion to mold the vessel whichever way he pleases,so also our Father can mold our lives anyway He chooses in order to make us vessels unto honor and worthwhile in His house (Jeremiah 18:3-6).
   A chosen vessel is an instrument in the hands of the Lord to deliver His message accordingly and strictly, as a vessel is usually known to be a container of water, or any other liquid for home use,so also if we make ourselves available to the Father, he is keen to fill us up to the brim with the words of Life and truth such that as people take water from earthen vessel for use, people will begin to take from us the words of Life deposited in us by the Father which can never run dry.
 In the book of (Acts 9:15-20), we were shown how Saul who was a persecutor of Christians met with the Everlasting Father and his encounter was such that he eventually became a preacher of the word.All of these happened because he was a chosen vessel.
   Finally, our Father is not a discriminator of any individual he chooses to mold as he is even known to remold any broken vessel as in the case of Saul above who later turned Paul and a very useful one in the kingdom.However, there are vessels unto honor and vessels unto dishonor.we can only be vessels unto honor by sanctifying and getting ready for the Father's use,fleeing from iniquities,youthful lusts and making ourselves guarded and guided by the Spirit of the Living God.(2 Timothy 2:20-21).


PRAYER POINT:Father, make me a chosen vessel ready and available for your use such that I will be a blessing to my generation.AMEN

FUEL IT UP!!!

 When I was in primary school I was part of the girls guide. we usually go for weekend camping in any agreed location and I remember that whenever we were at camp, we always have the camp fire at night and everyone will be dancing around it. Whenever the fire goes down, we will put leaves and some other petrochemical substances to enable it burn well. Going through the books of Mathew 25, the story of the 10 virgins ignited a spark in me and I realized instantly that to keep anything burning, we need substances to fuel it up just as we did at the camp whenever the camp fire goes down. Also, most of us have generators in our various homes and I can imagine how much we would feel helpless when we cannot get fuel to power our generators especially when we have a very interesting show coming up or a football match and the electricity distribution company decided to keep the light off. Brethren, reading through Mathew 25: 1-13, we would have a better understanding of what it means to fu...

God's Laws Versus God's Promise

A father who lives in the diaspora once had a son and for some reasons his son cannot come along with him. Nevertheless, he kept on investing and was lucrative in his business. This man got a guardian to keep his son in track while he was away and he wrote his will so that when he is away permanently his possession could be given to his child by the guardian on reaching a specified age written in his will. He did this so that the child could be rightly led and could have come of age not to mismanage the properties. Going through the books of Galatians, I had a deeper understanding of God's laws and God's promises. Firstly, we have sins, laws and promises. Literally, Sin is anything detestable to God, God's laws are the guidance from God given alongside the promise to reveal to people their sins (Gal 3:19). God's law was given until the fulfilment of the promise. God's promise is simply grace in the human form of Christ Jesus. Going back to my introductory story, the...

A New Wine

                                       Going through the books of Joel, The word new wine caught my attention. What does it symbolizes? The book of Joel made it known that scripturally, a new wine can be likened to Joy. In today's world where depression is raging amidst different age groups, it is an undeniable fact that almost everyone knows the importance of genuine joy to humanity. A feeling that is of an inestimable value! Joel chapter 1 and 2 emphasizes on the reproach faced by the children of Israel due to their disobedience causing the new wine dry up which eventually led to spiritual declination and making them a prey in the hands of their enemies. This symbolically means due to our disobedience as children of God, we could loose our inheritance before Abba which we had from time being ( Joel 1:10). Have we ever thought of a point in our lives, where things were so easy for us, or...
