Vessels
2 Cor 4:7
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”
2 Cor 4:7
The worth of a vessel is in what it carries. I am not unmindful of packaging, which is a very vital component of marketing or even the fact that some vessels are very expensive. What I am concerned about is that the pride of the container is the quality/quantity of what it carries. It is in its usefulness to its owner. No matter how fine or big a vase is, if it is broken or has a hole under, its usefulness is in question.
You are a vessel. Who uses you? What are you used for. If God uses you, you are a blessed vessel because you will be used for what you are meant to be used for. If the devil uses you, then, it really doesn’t matter how talented and educated you are. What matters is what and who uses you. In a house, there are vessels unto honor and vessels unto dishonor. Those who keep themselves holy can be used as vessels unto honor (2 Timothy 2:20 – 21).
What is your pride? What is your life full of? If you are a gold vessel meant to serve kings and you have a black spot right inside you that refuses to go away, will you be used to serve kings? Definitely not; at best, you will become an ornament placed on a shelf for people to look at from outside and admire. This means that your potential will never be maximized.
Let us always keep it in mind that we are mere vessels. God pours out himself through us to show the world how great he is. Be useful to him.
