2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 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. 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Saboteurs are those who make themselves your enemy by constantly looking for a way to undermine you and stop you from moving forward while self-sabotage is you doing things to stop yourself from moving forward consciously. Paul the Apostle said that all things are lawful to him. Still, he separates himself from them to preserve his vessel for God´s use. 1 Corinthians 6:12 (All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any). He refuses to be controlled by what he sees and hears, so he trains his body to reject such things. God cannot use a vessel that has been polluted and there are so many things that can pollute our vessels and make it unworthy of the master's use. The above scripture states that the foundation of God standeth sure; the word of God is our sure foundation and you cannot stand on it and sink. Doing things contrary to the word of God is the number one way believers sabotage themselves. Satan knows he cannot lay a finger on Jesus but he wanted him to sabotage himself. He told him to command the stone to be turned to bread but Jesus stood on the word of God refusing to listen to the devil. God said that anyone who bears his name should stay away from every appearance of evil, for He says (be ye Holy for I am Holy). You and I have the responsibility to keep our vessels clean and make them worthy of the master's use. Whether you want to be a vessel of honour or dishonour is your responsibility. You have the power to control what you yield to because what you see and hear can create an avenue for the saboteur to operate in your life. God knows that our vessel can be easily contaminated by the happenings in our environment and that is why He gave us this guide below.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Fire has no respect for age, if a child puts his hand on fire he will get burnt. Having a communion with darkness will make you vulnerable to defilement; it is not every Television program you watch, even in social media, you have to control what you see and what you listen to. Personally, there was a time when I disconnected from social media and concentrated on building up myself. My coming back is purposely to promote God's agenda. You need spiritual maturity to handle most of the things that are happening around you. Friends, make a conscious effort to avoid everything that defiles just like Paul the Apostle did to overcome self-inflicted sabotage. Stop sabotaging your moving forward and train yourself to be abstained. As a minister, you are the number one target of the kingdom of darkness and you are not to be found everywhere; control your tongue, and don't say something that Satan will use to persecute you and then gain access to your spirit. Stay away from his property and focus on God and your assignment. Anointing will not stop you from being contaminated, you need to take personal responsibility. God knows those who belong to him and His access to your spirit, soul, and body is what makes you his own. The joy of the enemy is for your spirit, soul, and body to be defiled so that he can separate you from God. God is constantly looking for undefiled vessels to use every day; make yourself available for His use today by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus' name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
