Mother's Day service Part 3
A vessel of Honour by Mrs Ditebogo Thatayotlhe-Ben
Today I am here to present to you the mark of a higher calling, to implore you to rise as a vessel of honour.
Let us take this time, as we celebrate motherhood, to reflect on who we are? Therefore I pose a question to you ,do you know who you are? I am not speaking about what others are saying you are? Not whom they wish you were ,but whom you truly are? Today God is calling us unto a place of a higher calling. He is calling us to a place of you honour,He is saying that you are a vessel of honour.
To some of you who might be having doubt ,who have seeds of negativity planted in your mind. Those of you who are unable to hear the word, that is calling us unto a place of a higher calling. They might have written you off, cast you aside,but by His grace we were saved.
Romans 3:23-24 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Yes you have sinned , but that is not a disqualification because we those who believe, we have been justified by Grace. Justified by Grace to stand as His vessel of honour.
2 Timothy 2:20-26 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.Flee from all that can cause impurities to you as a vessel.
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
Is there a vessel that is ready to be used by God? To be used by God for His purpose? This scripture says many are the vessels of different makes and types , some of those are to honour.
Vessel of God , stand in your place honourable before the father.
Remember the call is to purge ourselves.To sanctify ourselves,flee from every impurity. Vessel of honour, are you purified are you fleeing from impurities, keeping yourself by the sanctification you were called by,ready to serve the master? A vessel of honour derves the master whole heartedly, serves with honour and dignity.
Yes we agree ,we were once those who were sinners and had fallen short of God's glory. But grace located us, we are washed f the blood ,set free no longer slaves to sin, once washed of the blood do not go back to roll with pigs in the mud, flee from impurities. Remain sanctified oh vessel of honour.
All this we can do by staying in Christ, knowing whom we are in Christ. Yes challenges will still be there even when you are a sanctified vessel of honour. The devil will come whisper to you , to remind you of the person you used to be, let him find you in the Lord's presence ,let Him find you rooted in His word Let him find you in your purpose.
Let him find you working out your salvation with fear and trembling.
Therefore arise to the mark of a higher calling, and serve the Lord as His vessel of honour.
In this season of His Established Glory, may His Glory be seen in His vessels of honour
