Becoming A Willing Vessel

Becoming a ‘Willing Vessel’ comes from making a Commitment to God for any Cause of His Choice.

Each of us needs to come to the understanding that God never willed that we should be less than what He has purposed us to be.  He has the ability to use each of us in any area of His choice,  if, we choose to become a ‘Willing Vessel.”

Remember this always:  If God can use a donkey, He can most definitely use you, provided you are acceptance to His will for your life and are willing and obedient to His instructions.

It has been said that God uses Willing Vessels, not brimming vessels.  There must be room at the top for the Spirit of God to lead you and guide you.  Because He is no respecter of persons, He can and will use you if you are Willing to take the sacrifice of obedience and commitment to the cause He has in store for you.

Therefore, in order for you to become a Willing Vessel you must be willing to give “all of yourself” by becoming a person of obedience, endurance, dedication, commitment and persistent in the Service of God.  As you continue to give of yourself, God will willingly give to you much more than you could ever imagine.
