Open Vessel

The last weekend was a Thanksgiving Conference. Since I was traveling, I thought I would missed it this time. But thank the Lord, I still got the opportunity to listen to all the messages from the video archives. I was able to listen to all the messages at different times while I was traveling on road by an SUV while on a ministry distribution journey from locality to locality. Each of these places I travelled to, were about an hour to two hours' time distance. These time intervals were apt for me to dive into the messages. Among all, the last message dispensed so much of life into me. As an open vessel,  I was able to receive the divine dispensing of the divine Trinity through the brothers ministry, and all these are for the divine economy.

Excerpt from Message Six 

Being a Vessel Open to the Lord and Living Ordinary Days in the Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity

An open vessel is doing nothing but keeping itself open to be filled by the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity—2 Cor. 13:14. 

A genuine Christian life is one that loves the Lord and keeps itself open to the Lord and stops its doing—Mark 12:30; 1 John 4:16-21. Then the Lord comes in and does everything; the vessel simply contains the Lord and enjoys the Lord’s filling and doing. We simply need to love the Lord and keep ourselves open to Him, giving Him every opportunity to do everything He wants to do—Eph. 3:17. This is the proper and genuine Christian life—Gal. 2:20. 

We need to receive the divine dispensing little by little, day by day, receiving this dispensing again and again in a slow, steady way—2 Cor. 13:14; Matt. 6:11; Psa. 68:19.

As I was enjoying the dispensing of the divine Trinity through the ministry of our dear brother, I was so supplied, strengthened, and encouraged. In fact, I could not even take a break and had to continue receiving the dispensing when I was in a meeting, even when a brother started speaking in a meeting where I had to follow after him. When it was my turn to minister the word, I asked the believers to take a break and sing a song until I could fully receive the entire dispensing of the word through the webcast I was listening to. What I freshly enjoyed, I also ministered to the saints when it was time for me to speak.

My inward prayer now is, "Lord, I open my vesselto You for Your divine dispensing. Keep me open all the time and keep dispensing all the days of my life." Through ordinary days in all my ordinary works, I must open to the Lord. There is no need to seek for miraculous and spectacular incidents to happen. If need be, the Lord may do so in time. But I don't have to look out for such, but simply open myself to Him for His divine dispensing through any circumstances that He may allow to come to me. 

By this way of being an open vessel to the Lord, enjoying His dispensing day by day, I can be constituted with Him and be rapture ready. 

For this, I need to love the Lord more and more each day. In His sovereignty, He will arrange people, matters, and things that will affect me positively with my positve response as an open vessel. Day by day, here a little there a little, again and again, all the days of my life, I will thus be dispensed with the Triune God to become the same as He is, in life and in nature but not in the Godhead, and be thus fully conformed to Him, to be rapture ready. 

Lord, grace me to be Your open vessel for Your divine dispensing all the days of my life.
