WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

​1 CORINTHIANS 4:6
AND THESE THINGS, BRETHREN, I HAVE IN A FIGURE TRANSFERRED TO MYSELF AND TO APOLLOS FOR YOUR SAKES THAT YE MIGHT LEARN IN US NOT TO THINK OF MEN ABOVE THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN, THAT NO ONE OF YOU BE PUFFED UP FOR ONE AGAINST ANOTHER.
FOR WHO MAKETH THE TO DIFFER FROM ANOTHER? AND WHAT HAST TOU THAT THOU DIDST NOT RECEIVE? NOW IF THOU DIDST RECEIVE IT, WHY DOST THOU GLORY, AS IF THOU HADST NOT RECEIVED IT?
LET US MAKE SURE BRETHREN THAT WE DON’T THINK OF ANYONE MORE HIGHLY THAN WE OUGHT. PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. WE SHOULD LOVE THEM. I MUST ADMIT THAT AT ONE TIME I THOUGHT OF MOSES AND KING DAVID MORE HIGHLY THAN I SHOULD HAVE AND WAS GREATLY CHASTENED FOR IT. MOSES WAS A GREAT MAN OF GOD AND A FRIEND AS WELL AS KING DAVID WHOM I TRIED ZEALOUSLY TO PATTERN MY LIFE AFTER. BUT KNOW THIS, THEY ARE MEN WHO WERE USED AS EXAMPLES OF WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO, JUST AS WE ARE. YOU LOOK AT THEIR LIVES AND SHORT COMINGS TO REDEEM TIME SO YOU AVOID MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES AS THE LORD IS BUILDING YOU FOR THE ABILITY TO DO A GREATER WORK. THOSE MEN IN THE BIBLE ARE GREAT AND OBEDIENT MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD, BUT THEY ALSO SAW CORRUPTION. WE MUST BE SURE IN ALL THINGS THAT WE ARE NOT DISTRACTED BUT KEEP JESUS CHRIST FIRST NO MATTER HOE MUCH HE MAY USE ONE PERSON COMPARED TO ANOTHER. THIS GOES FOR THOSE PEOPLE LIVING NOW AS WELL. LET JESUS DO THE SHAPING AND MOLDING. HE IS STILL THE POTTER. WE DON’T CONTROL WHAT TYPE OF VESSEL HE IS MAKING.
2 TIM 2:20
BUT IN A GREAT HOUSE THERE ARE NOT ONLY VESSELS OF SILVER AND GOLD, BUT ALSO OF WOOD AND OF EARTH; AND SOME OF HONOUR, AND SOME OF DISHONOUR.
IF A MAN THEREFORE PURGE HIMSELF FROM THESE, HE SHALL BE A VESSEL UNTO HONOR, SANCTIFIED, AND MEET FOR THE MASTER’S USE, AND PREPARED UNTO EVERY GOD WORK.
ROM 9:21
HATH NOT THE POTTER POWER OVER THE CLAY OF THE SAME LUMP TO MAKE ONE VESSEL UNTO HONOUR, AND ANOTHER TO DISHONOUR?
WHAT IF GOD WILLING TO SHEW HIS WRATH AND TO MAKE HIS POWER KNOWN, ENDURETH WITH MUCH LONGSUFFERING THE VESSELS OF WRATH FITTED TO DESTRUCTION:
AND THAT HE MIGHT MAKE KNOWN THE RICHES OF HIS GLORY ON THE VESSELS OF MERCY, WHICH HE HAD AFORE PREPARED UNTO GLORY.
