STUDY: BEING FRUITFUL AND PRODUCTIVE (1)
In the house of God, there are different kind of vessels.
2 Timothy 2:20-21
"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.
If a man therefore purge himself from these, He shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work."
What kind of vessel are you? Are you a vessel unto honour or unto dishonour?
It doesn’t matter if it's a vessel of gold, silver or wood. You ought to function in your proper place.
A vessel of wood shouldn't want to become a vessel of gold and vice versa.
A vessel unto honour would win souls into the house of God. He is functioning in his proper place so, would produce easily, the results he supposed to. He is fruitful in what he is doing and productive.
Some have been in God’s house and are wondering why they are not moving forward. They have done all that is necessary yet, they haven't gotten results. You should find your place in God’s house.
There is a place for everyone.
If you can sing, go ahead and join the choir, if you can dance, go ahead and join the dance group, find where you fit in.
You have become fruitful and productive because you are not only winning souls, you are keeping them won.
