A treasure in clay vessels
Samuel Acevedo(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The essence of supernatural life is the glory of Jehovah dwelling and transmitted through clay vessels that declare the word of the Lord. The apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 4 that we are not preaching ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as servants for Jesus' sake. We are clay vessels used as vessels for the glory of Jehovah. This means that God inhabits us, living inside our mortal bodies, along with our weaknesses, foibles, vulnerability, mortality, and connection to the human race. The Lord requires a level of humility from us, and in order to accomplish the divine work that the Lord has delegated to us, we need the power of God's spirit. The phrase "filled with the spirit" appears thirteen times in the book of Acts, implying that the spirit fills a container, which in this case is our mortal bodies and life experiences.
In this sermon, the speaker discusses the concept of being clay vessels, or containers that hold the spirit of God. He emphasizes that we are all vessels, regardless of our backgrounds or experiences, and that the Lord fills us with the spirit to fulfill an eternal purpose. The speaker also discusses the importance of grace and the fact that we will face challenges and struggles in life, but we should not despair or panic. Instead, we should focus on the eternal goal that God has for us, and trust that everything is orchestrated by Him for a divine purpose.
One day, we will stand before God with our clay vessels and see the weight of glory that God has added to us through our experiences and battles. Even though we may not see it in the moment, each trial and tribulation adds weight to our vessel. On that day before God, we will see the result of God's work in our lives and the beautiful transformation He has done in us. It is an honor to be a clay pot, knowing that through our weaknesses we are containers for the glory of the Lord. We should have an eternal perspective, because it will all be worth it in His presence. We should ask the Spirit of God to fill us with His glory and pour out more power, grace, and anointing in our lives.Join me in prayer, my brothers. Lord, we declare as Jesus Nevitas just declared that you are three times Holy. It is a privilege to be in your courts, it is a privilege to hear your voice, it is a privilege to be where you can touch us, where your grace can reach our lives. Spirit of God, where you can identify our need and where your virtue can flow. It is a privilege to be in a place where we can receive and experience miracles, truly live a supernatural life. Master, that is my desire, that your spirit enliven this word and that you fill us this afternoon, and that all of us, Lord God, make here, experiencing, a life and a supernatural eternity. We ask this in the name of Jesus.
My brethren, I direct you to Second Corinthians, chapter 4, beginning with verse 5. Brethren, how many were here for the twelve o'clock service last week? Amen. The twelve o'clock service. If you were at the twelve o'clock service last week, do you remember that it was the privilege of receiving the word and the ministry of the prophet, and there are very few brothers, sisters, who really, I would say, have an office like that , who can be called full-time Prophets of the Lord. But this is the ministry of the brother, the prophet, Pastor Emile Samule, who we had with us last week.
