To Honor or Dishonor!

2nd Tim.2:20 "But in the great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor".

   The new testiment gives us many beautiful parables about what it means to be saved, to be a member of the family of God, and to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. In the book of Ephesians, Paul talks about the church as the household of God. Here he speaks of the child of God liken to a vessel in this great house. He speaks of two types of vessels in this house; a vessel of honor and a vessel of dishonor. Every christian is a chosen vessel unto Christ, we didn't choose Him he chose us, the question is are we going to be vessels of  honor or of dishonor. Every believer should live a dedicated life of obedience, having a compelling desire to be used of God in whatever way he chooses to use us.God placed each member in the body where it pleased Him.

Let us be strong in the grace that is in Jesus Christ, we must study Gods word, that we might be  workmen who needs not be ashamed, and useful to the master, prepared for every good work.Looking to Jesus Christ who gives us the power, and the tools to fight this spiritual battle.He equips us for this ministry of reconcilliation,a work of reuniting lost man back to a forgiving and loving God.Through Christ, the presence of God enters our hearts, and the power of His spirit transforms and convert a vessel of dishonor into a vessel of honor. Gods grace allows us to endure all things, that we might with a singleness of mind proclaim with a loud voice the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the power of God unto salvation.

 Let us walk in the power of God, and walk worthy of the name by which we are called that we will be victorious over all that enemy puts before us, and lead all in darkness into his marvelous light.
