RCCG HOUSE FELLOWSHIP MANUAL 9 JULY 2023 (LESSON 45)
TOPIC: CONTAINER AND CONTENT
MEMORY VERSE: 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KJV)
But we have this treasure in heathen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us
BIBLE TEXT: 2 Timothy 2:20-21 (KJV)
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
LESSON INTRODUCTION
What is a container? This is an object that holds or is used to transport things. It covers the actual thing which it protects.
The Container acts as a protection for that which is contained in it. That which is in the container is the content.
Take for example a can of corn beef. The can is the container while corn beef is the content. But note that the beauty of the can does not determine the taste of corn beef. 2 Corinthians 4:7.
LESSON OUTLINE ONE: POINTS TO CONSIDER
The treasure in the earthen vessel has to be of greater value than the earthen vessel.
Nowadays we See men and women who are very well dressed and made up with all sorts of make-up and jewelries but when we probe into their lives, we see that the beautiful vessel is covering a terrible human being;
A husband can become a boxer after marriage, what was looking good is actually a beast waiting to unleash arrow on his wife.
On the other hand, could it be that a beautiful woman after marriage is unable to keep a home. (cannot boil water to cook an edible meal).
You need to check that container both spiritually and otherwise before saying yes. Never be in a hurry to say yes just because he or she looks good to the eyes.
Even in the other types of partnerships, business, ministry etc. we should seek God’s approval. Some people sweet talk their victim only to dump them at the long run.
So we should take everything to God in prayer and ask Him to help us make the right choice. Psalm 53.2.
ACTIVITY:
Members should access the contents they are carrying.
SUMMARY:
Container determines the content, pure in heart will carry godly acts.
CONCLUSION: RCCG HOUSE FELLOWSHIP MANUAL 9 JULY 2023
We should not opt for anything just because they look good. We should take out time to pray and enquire from God before deciding.
