God seldom use dirty unsanctified huan vessels. ''Depart ye, go ye out of thence, touch not unclean things, go ye out to the midst of her; be ye clean, ye that bear the vessel of the Lord'' - Isaiah 52;11.
When Isaiah had the vision of God's Holiness, he also saw his own filthiness and that of his audience. He abhored and loathed what he saw and cried out for Help, ''woe is me for I am undone because i'm a man of unclean lips....'' - Isaiah 6;5-7.
His mouth was cleansed with a long of fire and purged fro sin, then God sent him.
We saw in Jeremiah 28;11 why moab was useless because they had not gone through purifying process.
When grape or vine is pressed, it is poured into another jar while the dress are thrown away. This process continues until the pure wine is gotten with good taste and scent. The pouring from jar to jar is to remove every impurity and present it good for use. This is how God makes his children useable. He uses challenges to sift away every impurity of the flesh.
We are to yield to this unpalatable process for our good if we must be useful to the kingdom.
Question
1. Have you ever experienced God's purging?
2. Recall few of such experiences.
3. What effect did it have in your life?
Prayer
Ask God, the potter to break you, remold and fill you with his spirit. Pray for understanding heart to recognize and yield to his work in your life. May the everlasting arm of God rest upon you to make you that vessel of his choice in Jesus name.
Pastor Emanuel Igwe
