DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

2 TIMOTHY 2:19-21

(19)  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 honor, and some to dishonor.
(21)  If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

COMMENTARY:

Brethren in Christ,  Apostle Paul, encourages us to believe in the truth and faithfulness of God, and not be overthrown; but having the security:  the Lord knows those who belongs to him; therefore, let everyone that call on the name of Christ turn aside from wickedness.

Case in point,  Apostle Paul, speaks about vessels in the house of God;  he categorises them as of gold and of silver;  also of wood and of earth;  some to honor, and some to dishonor.  My point of view is, we all have china wares for various special occasions in our houses;  some china wares for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter celebrations:  others for when our neighbors come to dine with us:  we will not use everyday dinner plates for special occasions;  but special china wares set aside for that very occasion.  In the house of God, there are also vessels set aside for the Lord's use;  some of these vessels are more valuable them others depending on how we purge ourselves for his use:  therefore, if a man wishes to be a noble vessel in a church of God; let him purge himself of earthly lusts, and seek after holiness.

(Ephesians 4:24)  That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts:  (23)  And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;  (24)  And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

CONCLUSION:

Brethren in Christ,  what types of vessels are we today?;  are we fit for the master's use?  If not, let us purge ourselves from all lusts of the flesh.  What do we need to do to be honorable vessels? Let us read through (Ephesians Chapter 4); that will lead us to what is expected of us to cleanse our vessels: and to be wealthy for the Master's use in our churches.  Brethren, there is still time for us to change from our wicked ways; and be honorable vessels in the house of God:  in Jesus Name!  Amen and Amen!
