DAY 4: Why does God want us to be worthy vessels? Filling!
To be emptied, so we can be filled by His Spirit A vessel cannot come full or half-empty to the work. We must empty ourselves, our egos, our pride, our self-righteousness, our self-dependency, our arrogance and come completely empty, so that we can be filled by His Holy Spirit and gifts. Often God does this through the painful process of refining us through trials and tribulations. As a true follower of Christ, we must go through sufferings, for without them…

To find’s Gods purpose for our lives and walk in obedience to His will As each vessel has a purpose, we are all unique and precious in God’s eyes.

Day 2 – Why does God want us to be worthy vessels? Holiness!
To be set apart, holy, cleansed, and sanctified We go back to the central verse in 1 Timothy 2:20-21 and understand that to be a vessel first means to be cleansed and sanctified (or set apart) solely for the work of the Lord. A vessel can either be of gold or silver (or) of wood and clay, denoting that which will be burnt by the fire on the day of judgement when everything will be tested by fire. A vessel…

DAY 1: What does it mean to be a vessel?
A vessel is something that is created for a very specific purpose. We go back to the tabernacle of God, to understand the use of vessels in serving God and how each vessel is unique, but all used in the combined worship and service to Yahweh God. In contrast to the two bronze vessels in the Outer Court, the vessels in the Holy Place were constructed with gold. The Golden Lampstand was made of one solid gold piece, while the…

Foreword
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 (set apart) and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. – 1 Timothy 2:20-21 -Prayer Spring Team
