THE ONE GOD USES


*DAILY DEW 6TH/APRIL/2021*

*THE ONE GOD USES*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"In a large house there are dishes and bowls of all kinds: some are made of silver and gold, others of wood and clay; some are for special occasions, others for ordinary use. Those who make themselves clean from all those evil things, will be used for special purposes, because they are dedicated and useful to their Master, ready to be used for every good deed."* (2 Timothy 2:20-21 (GNB))

*_Bible Insight:_*
I remember. That day we had poured some very hot water into a transparent glass cup. We were surprised when after a short while the cup broke. That water was too hot for the cup to handle. The cup was not made for handling such hot liquids. A vessel of dishonour cannot command the Lord's outpouring. A vessel of dishonour will not attracts the Lord's use of it. Unlike what happened to us with that transparent cup, God won't even try to pour what you can't or not supposed to handle. You either present yourself useful for his purposes, or He won't force you to or try to make you to. 

In God's great house, it is not the quality of the vessel that matters. It is not whether you are a gold or wooden or plastic vessel that matters, it is whether you are a clean and useable vessel that matters. As a matter of fact, it is not good enough to be available. In a great house, so many vessels are available but only those vessels that are clean and useable that can attract the master's attention. 

To covet the Lord's usage, you must be undergoing a cleansing. Your consecration will determine whether you are such a vessel that will gain God's attention and consumption. You don't need to worry that you are not a golden or silver ware, in God's great house, only those who are consecrated and dedicated that can attract Him. So even if you are a clay or a wooden ware, "those who make themselves clean from all those evil things, will be used for special purposes, because they are dedicated and useful to their Master, ready to be used for every good deed"

MEDITATION:
*"Everyone who has this hope in Christ keeps himself pure, just as Christ is pure."* ~ 1 John 3:3

FINANCING MISSIONS (II)

*DAILY DEW 21ST/DECEMBER/2021* *FINANCING MISSIONS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:2, 10 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ How do we get it?  Perhaps if I were to tell you how we do NOT get it, it would help. We do not raise it by means of suppers, bazaars, concerts, rummage sales, or oyster stews. Not because I am against these methods, but because they will not work. What does a business man do when he runs across a method that will not work? He scraps it, does he not?  Now listen. I am responsible, humanly speaking, for the personal support of three hundred and fifty missionaries. Every month of my life I have to get more than $25,000, or humanly speaking, they will starve.  How many of you business men carry as heavy a responsibility? What would you do if you had to get $25...

THE WAY OF THE CROSS (II)

Image
*DAILY DEW 16TH/SEPTEMBER/2021* *THE WAY OF THE CROSS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.* (1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from both the penalty and the power of sin.* (1 Peter 2:24 New American Standard Bible) What are the benefits that accrue to us from following the cross, or carrying the cross to follow Jesus? In answering this, we need to understand that it is the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross that gives the cross its power.  "1. Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from the penalty of sin." This is clearly the meaning of the words, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.” By using the word “tree” rather than “cross,” Peter no doubt had in mind Deuteronomy 21:22-23, where it pre...

TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS*

Image
*DAILY DEW 24TH/DECEMBER/2021* *TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."* (Job 13:15 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ It's an uphill task trying to understand God's plan, especially when we can't make logical sense of what we see happening to and around us. But we aren't instructed to understand His plans, but to TRUST HIM and be secure in the knowledge that He's working everything to ultimately turn out for our good.  God won't mismanage your life. Trust Him with it and be willing and quick to obey His instructions even when they don't fit into your parameter of what's logical. One of the truest form of worship we can give to God is to TRUST Him - leaning our entire existence on the unchangeability of His nature and counsels. ❤ _MEDITATION:_ *In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.* (Psalms 71:1 (KJV)) *#Chibuikem_...
