MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Wednesday March 18, 2020
Topic: Are You A Vessel For
Honour?
Text: 2 Timothy 2:19 – 21
Vessel
unto honour literally means a vessel that is useful in honourable way. When God
used Assyrians to punish Israel, they were useful in the hands of God but not
for honour because they were punished at the end too. God requires us to be
vessels unto honour.
Paul
admonishes us in our text to be mindful of how we live our lives because God
knows those who are His (v19). Therefore everyone who is a Christian should
depart from iniquity (v19). The reason for this advice is in verse 20. Read it.
When we cleanse ourselves from all forms of defilement, we will become “vessels
for honour, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good
work.”
Have
you cleansed yourself from all defilement or you are still defiled? As a
Christian sister/brother who is single and engaged, what is your secret life
with your fiancé/fiancée? We can’t serve God and be useful in His hands when we
are living in sin and compromise.
To be
a vessel unto honour we must avoid all form of defilement be it in words,
thoughts, actions, reactions and deeds. Couples should be sincere in their
relationships; we should love and be loveable, be at peace with all people and
above all be sincere in our worship of God with faith in Christ Jesus.
Food for Thought: A sanctified life is pleasant to God and such is always a reliable
instrument in His hands.
Memory verse: 2 Timothy 2 v 21
Prayer:
God, may I be a vessel unto honour in your house now and forever.
