Vessel of gold and silver.

2 Timothy 2:4, 15, 20-21 NKJV

No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of  this  life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 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.

Shalom! Day #14. It's good. A day of rest. Today if you are into something, continue to do it. Do not look back. Do it with all your heart. Let's pray. Father, bless Your word as we study Your word, Open up our eyes. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

As I mentioned earlier, having the desire to serve is not enough. He or she must have a mentality of a soldier. A soldier who has engaged himself in a war will not turn back at look at his circumstances. Stepping into the ministry, is as same as stepping into a battlefield, because in ministry we constantly raging war against the power and the principalities of the darkness. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of  this  life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. The reason we serve God, because we to please God. By turning back against God, it's the same like betraying our own country.  Be diligent to present yourself approved to God. Be diligent in serving the Lord.

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. Gold and silver are expensive. Wood and clay can be destroyed. Gold and silver, the more you heat it the more precious it can be. Many are called, few are chosen. The chosen ones are the one who is able to go through a purification process. We are in the Fathers house. He cleanse us and purify us and prepares us for every good work.

Let this day be the day of the Lord.

*** if you have any prayer request or any comments, or in anyway that I can serve today, please do let me know, I am at the Lord's service.
