Topic: A BROKEN VESSEL (Part 2)!
Memory Verse: "...As He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head" - Mark 14:3 NKJV
Bible Text: 2 Timothy 2:20-21 NKJV
20. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.
21. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
INSPIRATION: Jeremiah 18:4 paints for us the picture of a vessel that got spoilt in the hands of the potter as he worked it. Quickly, he made it into another vessel. Since it was not yet set in its form but still malleable or flexible, it could still be made into another vessel. Once it was formed or set, it was difficult to remould or reshape it.
Most broke people are set in their ways and cannot accommodate new learning. They're undiscerning, argumentative, rigid, and full of complaint. At best, they become ardvent pessimists who know the prices of everything and the value of nothing. They prefer procrastinating to taking initiative. Unlike a broke person, a broken vessel, could be likened to soft clay in the hands of a Potter that can be reshaped.
A broken person is malleable, able to channel his pains and loses into objects of worship, converting them into instruments for his healing. He knows how to use his brokenness to ascend into God's presence and create atmospheres of many possibilities. He is discerning, teachable, and approachable. He may accept to be sustained by alms until he finds his feet, but would never take such gestures as his entitlement, the way a broke person would. He's more focused on what God makes out of his brokenness unlike the broke guy who can't see farther.
TODAY'S TAKE HOME:
To be broke and stay broke narrows your chances to make the most out of life; to be broken, on the other hand, opens you up to see, take, and maximise opportunities for growth. The choice is entirely yours to stay broke or transit to being broken. Choose!
PRAYER: O Lord, please use every of my hurting and failed past to bring me into a state of absolute brokenness so you can shape me into the vessel that brings You the utmost honour, in Jesus name, Amen.
