What should it look like for God to use you?
“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.”
Are You Ready to Be of Use?
Do you want to be used by God? To be a part of carrying out His will on earth? We pray that you do. When we look around at the Christian faith, we see so much division, but there is nothing new under the sun. There was also much division during Paul and Timothy’s time, yet that didn’t stop them from availing themselves for the Master’s use.
Whatever God’s will is on earth, we want Him to use us; to show His love, to shine His light, to be salt and bring flavor to the world, to share His good news, and to bear a fellow believer’s burden. Do you want God to use you? The Bible tells us we can be vessels of honor or dishonor, and to be used by God, we need to be vessels of honor.
This is what God says:
How to Become a Vessel of Honor.
If a man or woman purges themselves from these things, they will be a vessel of honor, sanctified and fit for the Master’s use, prepared for every good work.
Self Examination is Key.
When was the last time you took time to seek God and examine your heart and motives before Him? Self-examination is an important part of being sanctified as we avail ourselves to be used by God.
Food for Thought...
Why do you want to sing in the choir? Why are you joining the usher board? God requires that we be vessels of honor if we want to be used by Him. He also asks that we be sanctified: holy and set apart for the work of Christ.
