THE VESSEL FIT FOR GOD’S USE
SCRIPTURE: And in the sixth month
the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named
Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the
house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. Luke 1:26-27.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God specialises in using people who will not take His glory.
God created everyone on earth with a purpose in mind. However, not
everyone is qualified to fulfil God’s purpose because there is a kind of
person that God chooses for His calling and anointing.
Now, what kind of person does God choose to fulfil His purpose and impart his generation on earth?
It is a person who has nothing to boast about.
Considering the story of Mary, the Bible says that the angel was
sent to Galilee and not Jerusalem or any of the larger cities in Israel.
Galilee was a highly despised land among the Jews but that was the
place God located Mary with the mandate to bring forth the Saviour of
the world. Mary was not from a rich family but God chose to locate her.
Do you want God to use you? You must have nothing to boast about
like Mary. God specialises in using people who will not take His glory;
people who will look at their lives, their handicaps and inadequacies
and realise that anything God is doing with them could not have been
done by them but by God alone.
Remember this: God specialises in using people who will not take His glory.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Take a critical analysis of your life and identify any character
that hinders the manifestation of God’s purpose for your life.
2. Ask God to deal with any element of pride in your life so that you can be a vessel for His use.
PRAYER: O LORD, I ask that You deal with anything
that makes me proud. Help me to be humble in order to be a vessel of
honour, in Jesus’ Name.
