“THE word  which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter’s house and there I will cause you to hear my words. Then I went down to the potter’s house and , behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, O house of Israel, can’t I do with you as this potter ? saith the Lord. Behold as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel…. Jeremiah 18:1-6 ” 

BEING A VESSEL IN GOD'S HAND

Becoming a vessel in the hands of God is not by chance, it is a choice and that decision goes with prices.  In Isaiah 6, God was looking for someone (a useful vessel) to pass His message to Israel despite there were many prophets in those days yet God was still looking for who to send.

THE PRICE OF BEING A VESSEL IN GOD'S HAND

Becoming a useful vessel in God’s hand involves the following and God demand a full measure of it.

PURITY

Purity Ephesian 5: 1-4 : God demand that you should be pure before you can be a useful vessel in His hand. Purity attract the power of God in your life. Isaiah could not hear what God was saying until he was purged “And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo this hath touched thy lips, and thin inquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Ish. 6: 7”. The level of God’s power (the anointing ) in your life is a function of how pure (i.e the extend you have allow the word of God to produce God’s holiness in you) before God

THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT

The fruits of the spirit Eph.5:9 : You must have passion for what God is assigning to you and you must do it with love. God is a spirit and the vessels that He uses most possess some of His attributes and that what is referred to as the fruits of the spirit.

YOU MUST BE PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TO GOD

·        You must be permanently connected to God: As a believer, your first dwelling place is God’s presence. “The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob Ps 87:2 Kjv” Dwelling in His presence gives you maximum protection, provision, revelation, divine health and long life and prosperity. Ps.91

FELLOWSHIP 

·        Fellowship : Through fellowship intimacy with God is being established and at this point you begin to established your work with God. God told Abraham, work before me and be ye perfect.

PATTERN

·        The pattern (Ps 1: 1-3, Jeremiah 18: 1-10) : In the potter’s house there are many objects made out of the clay sand. After points 1-4, the next is to ascertain the area God wants you to function. Does God want you to be a healing minister or an evangelist, a prophet or a teacher. Once you find out the area God want you to function, please remain the line of ministry
