FROM THE PULPIT AS OF OLD
TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 2:21
TOPIC: BE A USEFUL VESSEL
God is not looking for perfect people; He is looking for available and willing vessels that He can use for His glory.
A useful vessel is one that is clean, obedient, humble, and ready for the Master's service.
The Bible says, "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." (2 Timothy 2:21).
Throughout the Scriptures, God used ordinary people who made themselves available:
Noah became a vessel of preservation and saved his generation (Genesis 6:13-22).
Esther became a vessel of deliverance for her people (Esther 4:14).
Paul was called "a chosen vessel" to spread the Gospel (Acts 9:15).
A dirty vessel cannot carry pure water. In the same way, a life filled with sin, pride, and disobedience cannot effectively serve God's purpose.
God desires vessels that are surrendered, holy, and ready to be used.
Today, ask yourself: Am I a useful vessel in God's hands, or am I resisting His purpose?
May our lives become vessels of honour, bringing hope, love, and salvation to our generation.
Prayer: Lord, cleanse me, mold me, and make me a useful vessel for Your glory and for the advancement of Your kingdom, in Jesus' name. Amen.
May this message inspire you to yield your self to God and become vessels fit for His use in Jesus name amen
Jesus is lord
