MESSAGE:
Of all the vessels in God’s house, golden vessels stand out. Apostle Paul was such a vessel; God performed uncommon miracles through him (Acts 9:11-12). If you are a silver or wooden vessel, you can move up to becoming a golden vessel by taking your personal consecration to the limits. Loving God supremely, obeying God in everything, and living for God¡¯s maximum pleasure, are the other ways to stand out as a vessel in the house of God.
Just as there are honourable vessels, dishonourable vessels exist. God has a use for every vessel. God uses dishoourable vessels as lesson or warning to others so that they will know that every act of defiance is followed by a commensurate punishment. A frightening reality is that someone who started out as a vessel of honour can end up as one of dishonour. Such a vessel will then serve as a warning to other vessel of honour. May you never go from being a vessel of honour to being a vessel of dishonour in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point: Lord Jesus Christ, please help me not to do anything that will make me a dishonourable vessel.

Hymn 11:
1. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the Cross!
Lift high His royal banner,
It must not suffer loss.
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.
2. Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The solemn watchword hear;
If while yelling sleep he suffers,
Away with shame and fear.
Where’re yeah meet with evil,
Within you or without,
Charge for the God of battles,
And put the foe to rout.
3. Stand up! stand up for Jesus !
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of Ilesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armour,
And watching unto prayer;
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.
4. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor’s song.
To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory
Shall reign eternally.
