When Holy Vessels Become Corrupted Altars

-

The one who bears God’s instruments must tremble at what he carries, for heaven entrusts weight that hell envies. To walk with God and work for Him is an honor beyond words, yet it is also a battlefield. The devil does not always fight you by stopping you; sometimes he fights you by corrupting what you carry.

Mammon, power, and position are subtle monsters that creep into the heart of the called. They do not announce themselves with horns; they enter dressed as opportunities, favor, and promotion. And before long, what was once a holy vessel becomes a polluted altar.

As God’s oracle, beware. There is a thin line between stewarding God’s Word and using it to feed self. There is a danger in carrying the ark without carrying the fear of the God of the ark. What makes you a vessel is not your gift but your surrender. What sustains your ministry is not the trend but the oil that abides.

Many have carried God’s instruments and, by trend, became agents of darkness. They failed to discern the difference between the eternal and the popular. Young man, hear this: what trends rarely lasts, and what lasts rarely trends. The applause of men is not the endorsement of heaven. The noise of a crowd is not the voice of God.

Man of God, watch it! Guard the instruments you carry with trembling. Guard your motives from the corruption of self-glory. Guard your heart from the intoxication of influence. If the enemy cannot take the mantle from your hand, he will try to stain it in your grip.

The weight you bear demands purity beyond convenience. Heaven measures not your reach but your reverence. And the God who called you still searches for vessels He can trust, not altars that have been corrupted by pride, mammon and trendy matters

Grow in Stature

Listen young man, growth is not optional. It is a necessity. God wants you to be mature, not just in age but in wisdom, stature, and the ability to carry the weight of His kingdom. Many young people desire power, influence, and divine blessings, but without growth, they will not be able to handle them. Just like a child cannot be put in charge of a great estate, you cannot step into the deeper things of the kingdom if you remain a spiritual baby. A child may be an heir to a massive fortune, but as long as he is immature, that wealth is kept from him. He must go through training, discipline, and responsibility before he can access it. It is the same with God's riches. His wisdom, power, and supernatural provision are not just given to anyone. They are entrusted to those who have grown enough to carry them. God did not design you to remain stagnant. He expects you to grow into His divine plan for your life. The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God, but if you ref...

Embracing the Process: The Power of Patience and Steady Growth

-
The real challenge with competing with others is that it can lead you away from your true purpose in life. Young man, focus on staying in your lane. Keep growing and evolving at your own pace. Remember, you are going through a unique phase in your journey, and in God's perfect time, your story will change for the better. Never measure your progress by someone else's speed; speed does not always signify alignment with purpose. God created you with a specific plan in mind. Walk with Him, move at His pace for your life, and you will finish well, receiving both a "WELCOME" and a "WELLDONE!" Don’t be discouraged if your growth isn’t happening as quickly as you’d like. You are still growing, even if you can’t yet fully appreciate how far you’ve come. Be patient with God and remain steadfast in your journey. God has a grand plan for your life, and soon you’ll see the value of the small, consistent steps you’ve been taking over the years. When the change comes, it m...

Becoming the Man God Sees

The plan of God for your life will surely come to pass. That much is certain, not because of your strength but because of His faithfulness. Yet, the fulfilment of destiny is never automatic. It demands your partnership, making the right decisions as He guides, cultivating the grace and gifts He has deposited in you, and growing intentionally through the relationships He orchestrates. Often, God takes His chosen ones through seasons of obscurity, not to punish them but to prepare them. In those desert seasons, He places certain men around them, strategic voices, mentors, and friends whose roles are to shape, refine, and even provoke growth. These are not random encounters. They are divine alignments meant to build you for the weight of the future you have been called to carry. David’s life is a compelling example. Though anointed by the prophet Samuel to be king, he did not ascend the throne the next day. Instead, he returned to the field, tending sheep, confronting lions and bears, and...
