#WordforToday 5 July 2018 Vessels of dishonor (1)

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 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. ‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭2:20-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

When I was a child, in our house, we had many crockery and utensils. There were the ones we used daily and those for special occasions. There were those for the children, visitors and my father - the latter, none of the children dare use it. Although all the crockery had different uses, they were all important.

In the passage above, Apostle Paul said there were different vessels- those of gold, silver, wood or clay - each having different substance but all in the house. Interesting to note that he said some (of these four types) were made for honour and some for dishonour. 

The vessel of gold and silver could be for honour or dishonour same as those of wood or clay. It is not the make that defines its honour or not.

Every child of God in His house are made up differently - physically, mentally, intellectual, by gifts etc. Each of us are vessels.

It is insightful to note that a vessel for dishonour can cleanse itself from it 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. They have the power and the ability to do it through the grace in Yeshua.

To be continued.
