THE CHOSEN VESSEL- THE MAN GOD USES

To be a chosen vessel of God and to be used of Him, is the highest honour and priviledge that can be given unto any man on the face of earth.

There is nothing in the universe, greater or higher than to be chosen of God and to be used of Him, for His purposes on earth. Again, to be chosen of Him is to be given the highest honour and priviledge any man can have.

Hence the subject of who He chooses and uses, for His purposes on earth, becomes of utmost importance to Him. His Word declares, Many are called but few are chosen.

The few who are chosen of Him, are those who over time, have proven their worth before Him, through selfless pursuit and love for His deepest pleasures in us, which is a selfless love and desire for His all-purposes for us in Christ Jesus. These who have proven their worth in this manner, are they who qualify to be His chosen vessels and them whom He uses, for His greater purposes on the earth.

These ones are they who will not give up on His purposes for their lives in Christ. They follow irrespective of the difficulties and hard times they meet on their way, to being realised in His plans and purposes both for them and others too. These are selfless in the pursuit of His plans. They are driven by their love for Him and His purposes for us in Christ.
They are the ones who out of the furnace of affliction He has chosen. As is it was said in Isaiah 48 : 10, Out of the furnace of affliction have I chosen you. This is so, because no matter what comes their way, they would not give up on His plans and purposes which they have seen and because of their selfless love and desire to see His plans fulfilled not only in their lives, but in the lives of all around them.

Every vessel whom He chooses, He first proves them before He accepts them as His chosen vessels. They are tried of Him, before He uses them for His worthy purposes. Not all men serves in this capacity, without going through the furnace and the crucibles of afflictions and difficulties to prove their worth before Him. In Isaiah 28 : 16, He said, behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

God takes His time, to prove the stone He uses for His House. He doesnt rush it. Hence to be a chosen vessel unto God, requires that you are first patient with Him and His workings in your life. For every stone which He uses in the building of His House, are first tried before they are included in the building. Until you are tried and proven of Him, and your love for Him tested as well, you cannot be chosen of Him and used of Him for His worthy purposes on earth. Only tried and tested men can be trusted of Him. So until you are tested and tried, you dont become a vessel. This all requires our patience and humility before Him.
