USABLENESS OF A BELIEVER 2

19 NEVERTHELESS THE SOLID FOUNDATION OF GOD STANDS, HAVING THIS SEAL: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS OF GOLD AND SILVER, but also of wood and clay, SOME FOR HONOUR AND SOME FOR DISHONOUR.
21 THEREFORE IF ANYONE CLEANSES HIMSELF FROM THE LATTER, HE WILL BE A VESSEL FOR HONOUR, SANCTIFIED AND USEFUL FOR THE MASTER, PREPARED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK."
2 Timothy 2:19-21 (NKJV)

• A number of points on this topic were shared in the first part of this teaching, the concluding part of the teaching is here.

• Note: the more you are dealt with, the keener you are in your perception about others. In other words, your level of brokenness determines your versatility or skillfulness in knowing or locating the level which whoever comes your way is, in their spiritual life—which primarily based on the training you yourself had allowed God to take you through.

• Thus, a believer who would not allow God to take him or her through such a thing is indirectly holding God's hand back, restraining or refraining Him, in bringing into fulfilment on whatever He had in plan for their lives.
• You would find it difficult to identify or discern what you had not been taken through in the lives of others. If God had taken you through what is being shared here, It would not be difficult for you to know or see It in the life of anyone else going through it.
• You also would be able to know or discern the spiritual state of any believer who comes your way. You will know whether the person is spiritually mature or not. Whether such is broken, or he or she still carnal or fleshly.
• This also is one of the things that makes you qualify for leadership. Through what is being shared here you would have the skill or ability to lead others and be able to know the area or department or office which every individual under your leadership would be able to function effectively.
• If you had not received this training or you had not allowed God to take you through it, your leadership would be porous, in terms of knowing how to assign the right persons to the right offices or positions. You might find yourself in the problem of putting the round pegs in the square holes!

• Consequently, as a believer, whatever you are passing through that looks like suffering should be seen as a process of brokenness which you had to pass through. Without it, you might not be able to do the work ahead of you which you are being prepared for.

• Your usefulness or useableness is determined by your performance in the training you are currently being taken through. To you, it might not look like a training, but it is, God is literally preparing you for something. This is the reason why you are being taken through all you are facing or passing through presently that seems like pressures or difficulties.
• How you fare, your performances, would determine your eligibility, fitness or suitability for God's intended purpose for your life.
• What is demanded or expected of you is yieldableness—ooperation and willingness to agree with what God is shaping or moulding you to be. With this, the discipline or suffering would not be severe or stringent and prolonged.

• You will not fail in Jesus' name.

• Should there be any ailment in your body, receive your healing now in Jesus' name.
• Whatever is not planted in your system that is working against your health and wellness is cursed and completely uprooted in Jesus' mighty name.
  Peace!

STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. As you took the steps A and B your name is written in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).

• If you took the steps As highlighted above, congratulations, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
