TOPIC: The Vessel God Uses (3) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 4 October 2024)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 9, Jeremiah 10, John 17, John 18.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 6:1-8 (KJV)
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.
6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:
The third prerequisite a vessel must meet to be used by God is that it must be clean. A cup that is dirty or unclean will not be used by anyone to drink water, no matter how thirsty the person is. As an unclean cup is unhygienic and harmful to health, so will an unclean vessel turn out to be a liability and a disservice in spiritual affairs. God is holy; He cannot use unclean, filthy instruments.

Impurity in form of sinfulness is against God’s holy nature. God cannot use an unclean and sinful person. God had to expose and deal with the uncleanness in Isaiah’s life before He used him greatly as a messianic prophet. As Isaiah acknowledged that he was a man of unclean lips, many of us need to sincerely confess the areas of our uncleanness to the all- seeing and all- knowing God. Perhaps, it is the laboratory of your heart that needs cleansing. Some people commit immorality in their hearts and many allow evil thoughts to flow unchecked in their hearts. It could also be your eyes or some other organs in your body that are meant to be used to glorify God. Whatever it is that has made you a vessel unto dishonour, unusable for God, you can sincerely turn to God as Isaiah did and the touch of His purging fire will cleanse and sanctify your spirit, soul and body. As a New Testament believer, I want you to remember that the blood Jesus shed at Calvary is always available to cleanse the truly penitent. Avail yourself of it!
Beloved, a person living an immoral and double standard life should not preach to others telling them to stop living an immoral life. Filthiness is an abomination before God, and except you ask God to purge your sin away, He cannot use you for His work. Get washed and become clean. You will become a vessel of honour that is fit for the Master’s use. So, if you know that you have sinned, confess your sins and keep your heart clean. As the Bible assures, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
Anointing of holiness, fall upon me now, in the name of Jesus.
I shall be a vessel of honour and not a vessel of dishonour, in the name of Jesus.
Wash me, O Lord, and I shall be washed, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
O Lord, cleanse me of all my impurities, in the name of Jesus.
O Lord, touch my lips with the fire of the Holy Ghost, in the name of Jesus.
I refuse to be a vessel of dishonour, in the name of Jesus.
O God, arise and clean my heart with the fire of the Holy Ghost, in the name of Jesus.
