TEXT REVIEW: 2 Timothy 2:20-21
a. In God’s house or sanctuary, there are diverse vessels with different usage.
b. God is particular about vessels of honour because they are important to Him.
c. To become vessels unto honour, you need divine purging and proper examination.
d. Vessels unto honour are meant for God’s use to fulfill divine purposes.
LESSON OUTLINE ONE: VESSELS OF HONOUR
Vessels are containers designed for special purpose; therefore vessels of honour are usable containers for the advancement of God’s Kingdom. Vessels of honour must;
i. Bear fruit of righteousness.
ii. Point unbelievers to the way of salvation.
iii. Always be spent for Kingdom advancement – II Corinthians 12:15.
iv. Be godly in character and righteousness in behaviour – 1 Timothy 6:10.
V. Be determined and well focused, desiring to attain perfection – Proverbs 22:29.
vi. Be crucified with Christ – Galatians 2:20.
LESSON OUTLINE TWO: VESSELS OF DISHONOUR
Characteristics of vessels of dishonour:
- They are worthless, they are without any value.
- They are abandoned, not cared for.
- They are subjected to constant error and humiliation – I Samuel 13:9-13.
- They incur God’s wrath.
- They live in darkness.
- Their ending is destruction.
- They obey flesh not God’s Spirit.
- They are self-centred, not having self-sacrificing attitude.
- They yield to human praise.
ACTIVITY: Discuss Samuel as a vessel unto honour during his time with Eli.
SUMMARY: Keep on with your duty in God’s vineyard as a vessel unto honour, there is a great reward for releasing yourself to divine course.
CONCLUSION: God is committed to the fulfilment of His words in the life of vessels unto honour, your attitude to God’s business will determine your altitude. Wonders shall automatically follow those that are devoted as vessels in God’s hands.
