Vessels Of The Lord’s

Vessels Of The Lord's
We whom God has called are used as
vessels. We may runover with gratitude, but it is only because God
has filled us with His grace, that we may press forth in the
goodness of God, but only because the Lord our God grace keeps the
supply flowing. As vessels we know without a doubt that we are
receivers and receivers only. Our lives dependent unto the heaven
of heavens the throne of our God to supply grace and mercy to fill
His vessels. Therefore, we are useful vessels, because we are
receptive to His Word.

2 Corinthians 4:7 Context
4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
