TWO KINDS OF VESSEL
April Sunday 22nd
Text: Luke 1:74-75
Key Verse: Isaiah 52:11  Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.

There are two categories of people in the house of God. 2Ti 2:19-21 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20  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. 21  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. Vessels unto dishonour are those that serve with pride, malice, greed, worldliness and all kinds of sinful behaviour. Vessels unto honour are those that serve with purity, truth, holiness and righteousness and in the fear of God. Some people are very busy in the church and almost everywhere but they are contaminated vessels. Some others exhibit great anointing as firebrand prayer warriors, talented singers, powerful deliverance minsters or gifted preachers but they only look beautiful outside, their inside is full of filth and impurities like a whitewashed tomb. Anointing and busyness in the church are not sufficient proof of God’s approval.

In Judges 13:1-5, Samson was anointed for service right from the womb. His ministry was to deliver Israel from the oppressive hands of the philistines. Judges 13:24-25  And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him. 25  And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. But the anointing did not make him holy.   He had a calling but was not born again. He was in the service of God but not prepared for heaven. The spirit of God moved him and he experienced divine favour yet without holiness. He frolicked with prostitutes and ended up scrapping his anointing on the lap of a woman. In Isaiah 45:1-5, the Lord called and anointed Cyrus for service even though he was a pagan king who did not know him or his righteousness and holiness. It is simply God’s grace and favour. In the same way, God has been preserving and protecting you even in your sin because of the calling and service he prepared for you in advance. Do not assume you are heaven-bound unless you repent and reconcile with God.

Thought for the day: God will use you as you prepare yourself – for honour or dishonour
Song for the day: Make me worthy o Lord
Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 4-6; Luke 18:18-43

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
