Vessel

THE VESSEL :
"Hebrews 9:21 NKJV
Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry."
Vessel is very essential in our day_to_day life. We all use some or the other every day.
I remember as a young girl the hardships  my Mom experienced, when the vessel cleaning Maid wouldn't come.!!!
Even today my Maid, is highly appreciated for her help to me in cleaning vessels.
Bible talks about vessels as well. In Physical terms and spiritual. Spiritually, vessel implies people/Individuals. We learn this as Lord Jesus talks to Ananias  of Apostle Paul in
"Acts 9:15 NKJV
But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel." Also Psalmist address himself as a vessel as he prays "fiil my cup Lord".
Also there are vessels of honor and dishonor as in
"2 Timothy 2:20-21 NKJV
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. [21] Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work."
What I have understood is that  the Vessel gains  honor when it knows that The Master JESUS holds it.
Oh the world will try to find you _the precious vessels of God - to defile or misuse.
"Daniel 5:2 NKJV
While he tasted the wine, Belshazzar gave the command to bring the gold and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple which had been in Jerusalem, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them."_The kings Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar wanted the Vessels which belonged to God's Temple.
If you are lost in the world and worldly things, yeah Cheer up,
"Joshua 6:19 NKJV
But all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are consecrated to the LORD; they shall come into the treasury of the LORD."_The Heavenly Joshua _Jesus Christ is at work to bring you back to Lord's Treasury.
Every vessel  in Ministry needs to undergo cleansing work, not once a week, twice a week, not even once a day_ but a continuous cleansing by the blood of Jesus_Sanctification.
If you don't allow to be cleansed, then there is no taking part with Him (Jesus)_
"John 13:8 NKJV
Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."
We need to experience the cleansing from the Saviour Jesus.
'1 John 1:7 NKJV
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."
Hallelujah to JESUS the Redeemer and Sanctifier.
