Set Apart For God

II Timothy 2:21 – If a man therefore purges himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the Master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

Do you know that God has selected and set you apart for Himself? Since you began your life with Him and prior to your earthly birth, He chose, sanctified, equipped and then He prepared you for use in His Kingdom. “Sanctification” means that God has purposely set you apart to bless you. He has done this so you could be a vessel of honor. This means you are a special, handpicked vessel that will represent Him well to the world -- a vessel that will work hand-in-hand with Him to accomplish a great work in His kingdom.

It should be our greatest desire to be vessels of gold and silver that are purified and ready to be used by God for good works in His kingdom.

When God set you apart, he sanctified, declared, and sealed you as belonging to Him. Why don’t you say it – “I absolutely belong to God, and I am special to Him.”

Ponder and meditate on this question:

What does it mean for me to be set apart for God?
