Day 23 & 24, April

A Useful Vessel

So whoever cleanses himself (from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact wih contaminating and corrupting influences) will (then himself) be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work. 2 Timothy 2:21

The Bible refers to us as earthen vessels
2 Corinthians 4:7 Yet we who have this spiritual treasure are like common clay pots, in order to show that the supreme power belongs to God, not to us.
We are made of clay
Isaiah 64:8 But you are our father, Lord. We are like clay, and you are like the potter. You created us,
God formed Adam out of the dirt
Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God took some soil from the ground and formed a man out of it; he breathed life-giving breath into his nostrils and the man began to live.
and King David said, "Remember Lord, that I am but dust"
Psalm 103:14 He knows what we are made of; he remembers that we are dust.

When we fill ourselves with God's Word, we become containers of His blessing, ready to be poured out for His use. God can even use cracked pots! We are all valuable to the Lord. We can offer His truth to people everywhere we go.

Read God's Word before you go about your routine today, and see how many people you can bless with the truth of His love.













Show Jesus

And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another (readily and freely), as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32

I hope to show to everyone I meet the character of Jesus through my words an actions. I pray that everyone who contacts any ministry team will say: " Those people are full of Jesus. They are patient, kind, and sweet."

We are containers capable of being filled to overflowing with the Spirit of Jesus, who dwells in our hearts. If we understand that everywhere we go we can demonstrated His character and virtue, we will be as the Word says- lights in a dark world
Philippians 2:15 so that you may be innocent and pure as God's perfect children, who live in a world of corrupt and sinful people. You must shine among them like stars lighting up the sky,

Jesus called us the salt of the earth
Matthew 5:13 You are like salt for all mankind. But if salt loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. It has become worthless, so it is thrown out and people trample on it.
Salt gives flavor to what is otherwise bland or tasteless. Be salt today-at home, at your job, wherever you go.
