OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

??

DATE: MONDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 2021.?

THEME: THE BLAMELESS VESSEL.

MEMORY VERSE:

“Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear The Vessels of The LORD.” Isaiah 52:11

READ: 1 Timothy 3:1-7

1? This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

2? A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

3? Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

4??One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

5? (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of The church of God?)

6? Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

7? Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

MESSAGE:

A. ??One thing a man or woman that God would use should bear in mind is that he or she must be blameless.?

1??This is the prerequisite for A Child of God who want wants to serve God as a worker or minister, at any level.?

2??The Bible says: In 1 Timothy 3:1-2 “This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless…..”

3??When a person volunteers to serve The Lord, it is dangerous if the fellow is not clean in and out because The Holiness God could kill such a person.?

4??The Bible says that Isaiah admitted his sinful state and God purified and cleansed him of his iniquity so that he could qualify as a true prophet.?

5??After this, The Angel of The Lord came and touched him with a live coal from Heaven and he was purged of his iniquity.

6??In Isaiah 6:5-7?“So I said:

“Woe is me, for I am undone!

Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts.”

7??Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.”

8??Here we see The Mercy of God upon The Vessel He decided to use for His Glory.?

B. ??However, there is a lesson we must learn from this Scripture.?

1??The prophet admitted his sinful state and God came to his aid for cleansing. How often do we we seek the Lord for cleansing?

2??In addition, for a fellow to be used by God, the life of such a person must glorify The Lord.?

3??God must be honored in the life of such a fellow.?

4??The Lord will show off such a fellow among His holy angels, then ultimately prosper and protect him or her eternally.

5??In Job 1:8 “And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?”?

6??Though Job suffered many trials, the later part of his life was much better than the former.?

7??Job 42:12 says?“Now The LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.”“So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning.”?

8??Job had exactly double of the possessions he had lost to the attack of the devil.?

9??God also gave him seven sons and three daughters, as before, but this time, his daughters were the most beautiful women in the land according to Job 42:15.?

10?. Job experienced this promotion because he remained blameless before God Job 1:22 says “In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.”

C. ???Do you want Divine Promotion??

1??Do you want to be used for The Glory of God??

2?. Begin to walk blameless before Him.

3??Genesis 17:1 says “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, The LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I Am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.”

4??From today start walking before God blamelessly and He will not only use you for His Glory.

5? ?He will also promote you beyond your expectations.?

6??When you walk before God remember He will be watching you back hence you don’t need to look back! ?

7? 2 Timothy 2:20 says?

“But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.”

8??May God find you a vessel unto honour suitable for His use In Jesus' Name Amen ??!. Amen!?

PRAYER POINT:

Father, Please help me to live a life of complete obedience to Your Word, In Jesus' Name Amen ??!. Amen!?

More than life to me,

Whom in Heav’n but Thee. Refrain:?
