MADE FOR THE MASTER'S USE (PURIFIED LIKE A GOLD)

                                       Who is this master? 

           We have two masters as a human being, which are:

1) Spiritual master. 

2) Earthly master. 

            Now, what we are dealing with is our spiritual master, but when we come to this aspect, it is also divided into two, which are:

1) Our heavenly Father 

2) Devil.

            We can yield ourselves completely to this two, not at the same time. 

Romans 6 vs 16, "Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?"

            But our main focus is on our Heavenly Father, who is God our creator. We can only understand that God is our master, if only we are born again 

2Timothy 2 vs 19 - 21, "Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness." 

In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 

Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work."

         Let's take the gold as an example. The gold is a heavy yellow elemental metal of great value. They gold that you see, that has a very great value, does not just appear like that, it passes through a lot of stages, to be pure, free from impurities, and finally come out as a very precious thing. A gold is passed through a temperature of 12000°c (such a high temperature), just to be free from impurities and be valuable. 

Such purification is applied to us also, so that we can be useful and valuable for our Master. 

                         THREE THINGS I SHOULD KNOW

1) 2Timothy 2 vs 19, "Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness." 

           To be used by the master, you have to run from iniquity. You can't deceive yourself and say you believe in Jesus Christ and still remain in iniquity, knowing that God knows those that are He's. 

2) 2Timothy 2 vs 20, "In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use."

           It is your choice to be used as a vessel of honor or dishonor. It depends on you. 

3) 2Timothy 2 vs 21, "Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work."

            Here, we are given the condition or what we should do to be useful, to be a vessel of honor for the Master. Will you make up your mind to cleanse yourself for the Master's use? 

Are you ready to pass through the fire? 

Are you ready to pass through the high temperature, to be clean, and be used by the Master? 

              The choice is yours, but it is better to pass through the fire, the high temperature and be a vessel of honor to the Master. 

Romans 8 vs 18, "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."
