ARE YOU FIT FOR THE MASTER'S USE??

2 Timothy 2: 20-21

1 Cor 12:12; 1 Cor 12:20

Many of us have not paid much attention to the fact that we are vessels of God and/or do not realize that We are vessels set aside for the Master's use. We should be filled with the word of God.
What is a Vessel? A vessel is a hollow container (meaning, it is empty prior to being used.) Usually, holding water or other liquids such as a vase or pitcher. I will be using water in this text as the Spirit guides; for water is representative of God's word. Living water, a well of water, washing with water and one of my favorites:
John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

WE ARE ALL VESSELS but unfortunately, we are not all empty, some of our containers are cracked, some of our containers have a leak, some of us are un-used, some of us have not the Holy Spirit within.
DISHONOR

As our scripture text tells us, some are to Honor and some to Dishonor Dishonor means there are some within the church who bring shame and disgrace on or to the body due to their failure to observe or respect the Christianity of which they have become apart by not living the life they profess and continue or choose to rebel against it. In layman's terms, "They got it Twisted" and their motives are wrong and they are wrong for playing church!!
There is hope for you, "Broken things can become Blessed things, if you let God do the Mending."

What else is dishonor? It is esteeming yourself more highly than you ought. "I heard a lady on a Christian radio station introduce a Sister as a Prophetess in her own right."
I heard that, and it just did not sit well in my Spirit. First, let's get an understanding, "In your own right, means by reason of one's "own" ability, and in and of yourself…independent And, if you are an independent, it is likely that you are independent of God, she must live in Babylon.
If you call yourself into the Ministry - If man called you, there will be no Anointing with it! You cannot do anything without God. (Dishonor) 2 Cor 4:7
Being Saved, and Being a Christian is more than occupying a pew in church! The Bible says,
Romans 12:5
so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.
1 Corinthians 12:12
The body is a unit, though it is comprised of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.

HONOR

Honor means to High-Respect, and you honor God with your Life as well as your Service to him. You have come to know that belief and actions go hand in hand. This is how you honor God! The bible tells us to be ready in Season and out of Season…A Man or Woman or God that Honors God is always Ready.
There are those in the body of Christ, that have caught hold of the word. Where ever you are the man of God, preaches the 

un-adulterated word of God and you get it. So much so that you take hold and run with it.
2 Tim 4:2 I like the NLT (New Living Translation)
Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.
