THE VESSEL OF MERCY - Use Me Series 003
READ Genesis 40
Genesis 40:21-22, KJV
"21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand: 22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them."
Yesterday, we saw two destinies and two destinations that are the lots of vessels or the sons of men in this life. Today, we further this thought. The chief butler and baker offended Pharaoh and for this were imprisoned. As the day drew near for him to show his mercy and wrath on each of these vessels, God gave each a dream that foreshadowed their eventual destinations. According to Joseph's interpretations, the chief butler shall be restored while the chief baker shall shall be hanged. Both events will happen in three days time. The interpretation was to get them ready for their destinations. In real life situation, it is not all prisoners that made it out alive. It's not all that will find the grace of parole. The dungeon is a place where men are filtered either to the grave or to grace. So, the prediction was fulfilled on Pharaoh's birthday when he gave party to all his servants and decided to restore one and hang the other. On that day, he decided to show his lordship as king. He decides to spend his mercy on one and reveal his judgement on another. Sons and daughters of God, it is either a marred or rejected vessel is reinstated or eliminated. He'll go one place. It's elimination when he is sent to where he can not find usefulness again. That's exactly what happened to the baker. He was as well fallen as the butler but the mercy of his lord was not revealed to him. This is where God's word to Moses, the man of God still finds relevance.
Romans 9:15, KJV
"For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."
Mercy still determines a lot of things. May God dot your life with it. It's that mercy God spends on whomsoever He'll spend it that made Pharaoh spare one and sentence the other. When two heads are contesting for who will be shown mercy, may your head be always located. May you escape the grave. Pharaoh here is symbolic of God. According to the Egyptian system, he is even recognized as a god and worshipped so. So, who has the mouth to check him out? In a great house, when people are going their way (as if that's their lot ahead of time), may you find your way back into the king's hands. Joseph witnessed of the butler.
Genesis 40:13, KJV
"Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler." Read the verse again. The witness said, "he shall deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand after the former manner when thou wast his butler." I pray for somebody that has fallen from grace that you'll find grace again. Your salt which has become saltless shall now receive savour. You will be called back. Wives shall take their places in their husbands' hearts. Children in their parents' hearts. Workers in their employees' hearts. All terminated appointments through whatsoever are reviewed 'cause mercy will be used to judge you. I declare reinstatement in your relationship with God and men.
PRAYER: Is it not possible for Thee to choose me as a vessel of mercy on whom you will spend mercy and make known mercy? Exemplify mercy through me today and henceforth.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Ezekiel 39:1-40:27, James 2:18-3:18, Psalm 118:1-18, Proverbs 28:2
