We Are Called To Be A Vessel Of Honour

By Peter James from: www.peterjamesx.com

Romans 9:21

Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump

to make one vessel unto honour,

and another unto dishonour?

Many believers do not really understand their calling.

There are many documents on the website,

which are designed to help everyone, who is called

to grasp how awesome is their calling.

Quite understandably,

many are confused, about what is required of them.

Some go church hopping, as they hope that they will find

a church, which will be the only ‘One True Church’.

Inevitably this fails, as there is no such organisation of men,

that classifies as the ‘One True Church’.

Many occupy themselves with good works,

not that there is anything wrong with helping others.

In fact this is a requirement, but it is not really the answer.

At the end of the document, I will give some related

documents, which are essential reading.

We were called before the foundation of the world,

when our human spirits were formed.

This verse puts it all in a nutshell.

What did we have to do with our calling?

Absolutely nothing.

It is not because we are execeptional, or good people,

who go to meetings on our chosen day of the week,

give our tithes, and offerings, and any other activity whatsoever.

Our Calling is a total gift, pure and simple.

Ephesians 1:4 According as He (Christ) hath chosen us in Him

before the foundation of the world,

(1) that we should be holy and

(2) without blame

(3) before Him in love:

The above verse makes it clear that the objective is that

(1) we will become holy

(2) and without blame,

(3) according to the standards of Christ, and not our warped standards..

and our meagre possessions, and acclaim by men,

What does point 3 actually mean in practice?

It is not a vague emotion of feeling good.

The question is, how do we actually show our love for the Eternal God?

The very simple answer is by doing what He tells us to do.

It does not tell us to do what Peter tells us, or pastor Tom, Dick, or Harriet.

John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

We are commanded to do many things, and these commands

do not make us any better than another person,

and neither do they give us salvation.

Often they are to help us to remember the Eternal God,

and they are to help us to understand, that our lives are not our

own to do exactly as we wish, although most people like to think exactly this.

They say it is my life, I can do exactly what I want with it,

as I am not hurting anyone else.

This is a Satanic lie.

What we affects the entire body of Christ, for good or evil,

and also the entire world, regardless of where we live.

This is the simple reality.

In life, we are either a blessing to others, or we are a curse.

There is no other option.

The problem is that we have to start by honestly dealing with ourselves.

We can quite easily fool ourselves, that all is well with us,

but until we sort out ourselves, and admit to living a lie,

we are most certainly on the wrong track, regardless of what

we might think.

Our priority in life must be to get our lives into a condition,

that is acceptable to Christ, before anything else at all.

If we do not do this, we will most surely fail to be a vessel of honour.

The consequence of this will be unnecessary suffering,

which could easily have been avoided.

Shakespeare said it very well in his play Hamlet.

”This above all: to thine ownself be true,
 And it must follow, as the night the day,
 Thou canst not then be false to any man.” - Shakespeare-Hamlet 

quote by LanThi ; article by Dr. Irene (February 2, 2000)

Truth is also love. The greatest act of love towards another is living a life that is truthful. 

For those of us who find it difficult to love ourselves, we will find it will come more easily

when we walk in truth about who we are.

The statement that all roads lead to Rome, is a great truth,

however, all roads do not lead to the Eternal God, and salvation.

There is only one road, just one way, that is all.

Truth demands change.

Change demands humility, and a complete change of lifestyle.

Few are prepared to move out of their comfort zone.

Truth is not intellectual understanding.

Truth is Christ, and there is only one way,

not countless ways.

Christ said,

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:

no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

If you look at the temple in the Old Testament, which is a model

of the temple in heaven, there was only a single entrance,

not multiple entrances. 

Note that to get into

the courtyard, there was only one way,

the holy place, there was only one way,

the most holy place, there was only one way.

http://the-tabernacle-place.com/articles/what_is_the_tabernacle/tabernacle_ark_of_the_covenant

Any accurate model of the temple,

ancient or modern, must have these three single door entrances.

Until you confront yourself, with the lie, which you are living,

you will not only stagnate, but you will also go backwards,

although you might feel, that you are going forward.

This is a biblical fact.

Isaiah 28:13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept,

precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little,

and there a little; that they might go,

and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

I know of several such situations.

I am constantly saying the very same things,

as these things just do not seem to sink into the hearts of people.

To fail is to become a vessel of dishonour.

Jeremiah 7:24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear,

but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart,

and went backward, and not forward.

Luke 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath,

to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not,

from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

This is what Christ said through the apostle Paul.

Human beings, are composed of only two types of vessels.

One group of vessels are made for honour,

and the other group is made for dishonour.

Romans 9:21

(1) Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump

(2) to make one vessel unto honour,

(3) and another unto dishonour?

I know that there are many people, who like to question the Eternal God.

They ask, why would He do this that and the other.

As they feel, that they are the sum total of wisdom,

and that they know a better way.

This is of course absolute absurd nonsense.

If we have not experienced the consequences of doing something wrong,

which we can call sin, how would we avoid it the next time?

We would not.

Unfortunately, many experience pain, from their actions,

but they go right ahead, and carry on their wrong activities any way.

As our Rhema explained,

Freewill is not, something that you are given.

Freewill is part of what you actually are.

This is why hell is not accepted, and understood by many.

Freewill is not simply a matter of choice,

it is an actual part of our being.

Consequently the major part of our battle is against our Freewill.

It is normal for believers to think that their battle is against

everything, and everyone else against except themselves.

The above means that regardless of how pretty, handsome, bright,

intelligent, and all the other qualities, which we might have,

there is a battle going on right within our own body,

and it is a battle, which we have to win.

Here we see created man complaining to His maker.

I have often heard people screaming ‘Why God’,

when they do not agree with what is happening,

or when something bad happens.

Immediately the blame is pinned on the Eternal God.

It is very rare, that I hear people take responsibility for their condition,

or their attitude. I do not hear people say that this is judgment,

for what I, or we have done, or are doing.

Alternatively it can be just the normal events,

which the Eternal God requires that we experience,

for our individual growth and development.

Believers like to say, that they are going through a ‘Job’ experience.

However, the reality is that they do not come anywhere near

the righteousness of Job, whatever they might like to think.

The Eternal God said that there was only one man of the calibre

of Job on the entire planet. I will say no more!!

The apostle Paul is dealing with a very common issue,

and not something that is very rare.

Romans 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?

Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it,

Why hast thou made me thus?

Can you envisage a piece of clay, complaining to the potter,

who is treating it exceedingly roughly, as he batters it about,

to get all the air out of it, and to get it to the required consistency,

that it wanted to be a plate, with beautiful pictures on it,

but instead, it was made into a plain white waste container?

Clay never answers back, and it does not complain.

Romans 9:21

(1) Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump

(2) to make one vessel unto honour,

(3) and another unto dishonour?

We can even express displeasure, when there is no reason to do so,

but even then we are still wrong to question the Eternal God.

1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange

concerning the fiery trial which is to try you,

as though some strange thing happened unto you:

We can be certain that whatever is our condition,

there are countless other people, who make our complaints

seem less than trivial.

Therefore our attitude should always be one of thanksgiving,

and contentment.

I am often saying that a primary objective of the entire bible,

is to show all mankind, and the spiritual realm of angels,

and evil spirits, that the Eternal is God,

and that we will respect and obey Him, period.

I have also stated many times that the entire creation

exists in order to give pleasure to the Eternal God,

who created it in the first place.

Revelation 4:11

(1) Thou art worthy, O Lord,

(2) to receive glory

(3) and honour

(4) and power:

(5) for thou hast created all things,

(6) and for thy pleasure

(7) they are and were created.

It needs to be very clear in our minds,

that the Eternal God, knows, the past, the present, and the future.

He knew which vessels would choose dishonour,

but he made them any way.

How could I make such claims?

It is absolutely absurd for us to think that we can compete with the Eternal God.

He can tell the difference between our thoughts and our intents,

even before we have our thoughts !!

We cannot even understand crystal clear very simple words,

such as listen and obey.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful,

and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder

of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow,

and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The following verse tells us, that the Eternal God,

suffered for a very long time with the vessels of dishonour,

the self appointed exceptional, basest of people, on planet earth.

If it was His plan to simply destroy the vessels,

which He had made, why would He have patience with them,

rather than just quickly destroy them?

Christ suffered and suffers, a great deal of pain,

as these people serve Satan, in preference to serving Him,

they committed idolatry, lust, covet, lie, murder,

practice paedophila, adultery, fornication, bestiality,

and every sexual depravity imaginable, and unbelievable violence

against other human beings, who are also made in the image of the Eternal God,

and all in an ever increasing crescendo.

Christ himself told us, for whom He died.

We can say the good, the bad, and the ugly.

In other words everyone, period.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

It is critically important to remember,

that Christ also died for all these most abominable people.

Romans 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath,

and to make his power known,

endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

Now we have some astoundingly wonderful good news, for the vessels

of honour. They are going to experience the following:

Romans 9:23

(1) And that he might make known

(2) the riches of his glory

(3) on the vessels of mercy,

(4) which he had afore prepared unto glory,

Romans 9:24

(5) Even us, whom he hath called,

(6) not of the Jews only,

(7) but also of the Gentiles?

Yes the work in us, is the work of the Eternal God.

We are the beneficiaries, and we do not want to foolishly

elevate ourselves to the point of our destruction,

as we elevate ourseleves to being exceptional,

and wiser than the Eternal God .

Below, is the full context of the subject of this document,

You will see the above sentiments, clearly spelt out.

There is a specific lifestyle that we need to practice.

By practice I mean that it has to become an intrinsic part of our very being.

The points are highlighted here:

1 Thessalonians 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound

in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

1 Thessalonians 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable

in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our

Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

1 Thessalonians 4:1 ¶ Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren,

and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us

how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

1 Thessalonians 4:2 For ye know what commandments we gave you

by the Lord Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification,

that ye should abstain from fornication:

1 Thessalonians 4:4 That every one of you should know how to possess

his vessel in sanctification and honour;

1 Thessalonians 4:5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, (forbidden desires)

even as the Gentiles which know not God:

1 Thessalonians 4:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother

in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such,

as we also have forewarned you and testified.

1 Thessalonians 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness,

but unto holiness.

1 Thessalonians 4:8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man,

but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

This is the primary verse of this document,

2 Timothy 2:20 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.

These following verses, specifically define the actions of vessels of honour.

Remember, that when the bible was translated the books were not divided

into chapters and verses, as we see them today.

So we can see, that the requirements of vessels of honour carries on

into the next chapter.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God,

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,

rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings:

for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

2 Timothy 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker:

of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

2 Timothy 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred,

saying that the resurrection is past already;

and overthrow the faith of some.

2 Timothy 2:19 ¶ Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure,

having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.

And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

2 Timothy 2:20 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.

A vessel of honour, means that one is sanctified, that is set apart

for Christ’s use, and one is prepared to do every good work,

which Christ decides, and not the lusts of the person.

We are then told, that we have to be purged from a huge list

of unacceptable practices and sins.

2 Timothy 2:21

(1) If a man therefore purge himself from these,

(2) he shall be a vessel unto honour,

(3) sanctified,

(4) and meet for the master’s use,

(5) and prepared unto every good work.

In practice, we have to let Christ purge us.

We cannot clean up ourselves.

Of ourselves, we are even unable to see that there is anything

wrong with us in the first place.

Regardless of how wicked, and depraved a person is,

man tends to think, that he/she is quite good really,

but unfortunately it is the others, that are around them, or in the world,

who have serious problems.

I explain yet again.

(1) It is Christ, who calls us.

(2) It is Christ, who washes us clean.

(3) It is Christ, who gives us a new heart.

(4) It is Christ, who gives us a new human spirit.

(5) It is Christ, who enters us as the Holy Spirit.

(6) It is Christ, who writes His laws on to our new heart and our minds.

(Yes the very same laws, which the wicked claim no longer exist,

how totally absurd is that. To imagine that the Eternal God made

a mistake with His laws, in the first place.

This shows total ignorance of the Eternal God and His Word.

Laws apply to every single human being in exactly the very same way.

Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after

those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts,

and in their minds will I write them;

It does not stop there

It is only after the above, that we are now on the bottom rung

of obedience and that we can start to obey the Eternal God.

I really wish people would stop telling me,

how they are going to change, and do this that and the other.

It is only after points (5) and (6), that we are able to do

what is required in point (7) .

I have explained this in detail in many documents,

(see the list at end of this document)

but most are still in confusion, after they say that they have been “saved”

for even many dozens of years.

In effect they are living a lie.

Are you also living a lie?

(7) Ezekeiel 36:27 And I will put my spirit within you,

and cause you to walk in my statutes,

and ye shall keep my judgments,

and do them.

2 Timothy 2:21

(1) If a man therefore purge himself from these,

(2) he shall be a vessel unto honour,

(3) sanctified,

(4) and meet for the master’s use,

(5) and prepared unto every good work.

2 Timothy 2:22 ¶ Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness,

faith,

charity,

peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

2 Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,

knowing that they do gender strifes.

2 Timothy 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive;

but be gentle unto all men,

apt to teach,

patient,

Here we are clearly told that repentance and acknowledging

God is a gift from God, Himself.

Notice that we are clearly told that we are the problem.

It is we who oppose ourselves, and allow ourselves to be

captured by our adversary.

It is not what other people are doing to us at all.

Often we want to change things, supposedly for the better,

when we do not even know what the real problem is in the first place.

This is absolutely strange.

As I often say, let us leave the Eternal God to do His work.

He does not need our help.

If we can just listen and obey what we are told, all will be well.

2 Timothy 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;

if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging

of the truth;

2 Timothy 2:26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare

of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

We are warned that the end times, which are now,

are going to be very perilous indeed, and so it is here

for all to clearly see.

2 Timothy 3:1 ¶ This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

Now follows an extensive list of sins.

Read them carefully.

2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,

covetous,

boasters,

proud,

blasphemers,

disobedient to parents,

unthankful,

unholy,

2 Timothy 3:3

Without natural affection,

trucebreakers,

false accusers,

incontinent,

fierce,

despisers of those that are good,

2 Timothy 3:4

Traitors,

heady,

highminded,

lovers of pleasures more

than lovers of God;

We are then told to avoid wicked people.

As Christ said ‘Be ye separate’.

If you are not you, will be contaminated,

as if you have been struck by a virus,

and medicine does not kill viruses, because they are not alive

in the first place.

2 Timothy 3:5

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:

from such turn away.

2 Timothy 3:6

For of this sort are they which creep into houses,

and lead captive silly women laden with sins,

led away with divers lusts,

2 Timothy 3:7

Ever learning,

and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Just as these two mentioned below, there are countless false

servants of God, who are actually directly serving Satan.

2 Timothy 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses,

so do these also resist the truth:

men of corrupt minds,

reprobate concerning the faith.

2 Timothy 3:9 But they shall proceed no further:

for their folly shall be manifest unto all men,

as theirs also was.

Apostle Paul tells us some of the things which he had to endure,

and out of which he had been delivered.

2 Timothy 3:10 ¶ But thou hast fully known my doctrine,

manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

2 Timothy 3:11 Persecutions, afflictions,

which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra;

what persecutions I endured:

but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus

shall suffer persecution.

Paul then returns to the all encompassing wickedness,

as the evil ones not only deceive others,

but they themselves are deceived, though they appear as angels of light..

2 Timothy 3:13

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,

deceiving,

and being deceived.

Note the apostle Paul does not say that any scriptures

have been eliminated.

He states All scripture, not some, has definte purposes.

2 Timothy 3:16

All scripture

is given by inspiration of God,

and is profitable for doctrine,

for reproof,

for correction,

for instruction in righteousness:

We are then told the purpose of this verse.

What is it?

It is to enable us to become perfect vessels of honour.

2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect,

throughly furnished unto all good works.

2 Timothy 4:1 ¶ I charge thee therefore before God,

and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick

and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Timothy 4:3 For

the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;

but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,

having itching ears;

2 Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth,

and shall be turned unto fables.

2 Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, . . .

The priority in the life of each and every one of us,

is to make sure that we are becoming vessels of honour.

This is the second to the last verse from the book of Enoch,

which is Chapter 108.

11"And now I will summon the spirits of the good who belong

to the generation of light, and I will transform those who were born in darkness,

who in the flesh were not recompensed with such honour as their faithfulness deserved.

12 And I will bring forth in shining light those who have loved My holy name,

and I will seat each on the throne of his honour.

(The book of Revelation says the very same thing)

13 And they shall be resplendent for times without number;

for righteousness is the judgement of God; for to the faithful He will give

faithfulness in the habitation of upright paths.

Enoch Chapter 103

I know a mystery
And have read the heavenly tablets,
And have seen the holy books,
And have found written therein and inscribed regarding them:

3That all goodness and joy and glory are prepared for them,
And written down for the spirits of those who have died in righteousness,
And that manifold good shall be given to you in recompense for your labours,
And that your lot is abundantly beyond the lot of the living.

4 And the spirits of you who have died in righteousness shall live and rejoice,
And their spirits shall not perish, nor their memorial from before the face of the Great One
Unto all the generations of the world: wherefore no longer fear their contumely.

These two sets of verses from the Book of Enoch,

do not begin to tell us what the future will be like as vessels of honour.

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,

neither have entered into the heart of man,

the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
