IN A GREAT HOUSE
‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭2:20-21‬
“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
I was the little bride for one my sisters at her wedding years ago and though I was around the age of ⅚ at the time, I could remember, some of her wedding package then were special bowls like dishes for special occasions - those dishes were marked specially to indicate ownership BUT we seldom use them throughout my stay with my sister - as I stated in Episode 1 of the Prosperity for Posterity podcast - I didn’t end my duty at the wedding as the little bride - I followed the bride home.
Back to the special dishes - these were special dishes that were always in the “show glass” we used to call it - like a chinaware cabinet. Special wares for special uses.
How does that relate to our Bible verse today, there are different dishes in the home with differing levels of uses. So also everyone in the world today, we are all vessels in this great house and depending on our disposition to God, will determine if we are vessels for honor or not.
Even of pharaoh God said:
“For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.”” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭9:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
How may you be vessel for honor for the Master’s use in this great house - vs 21 tells us “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”
The material of the vessel here notwithstanding. The materials we can liken to the talents - the giftings. It does not matter how endowed or not you are. Inasmuch as you separate yourself - God is ready to prepare you for every good work.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you because it pleases you to make us vessels for honor in this world. Daddy, we pray that you grant us the grace to continue to separate ourselves as you prepare us for good works in our homes, community, and the world at large. In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed. Amen! Amen!! Amen!!!
