A story about two sons
11 Jesus then told another story: ‘There was a man that had two sons.
12 The younger son went to his father and said to him, “Father, please give me now my part of your things.” So the father gave both sons the part of his things that each of them should have.
13 After a few days, the younger son sold what his father had given to him. Then he took all the money and left home. He went on a long journey to a country far away. There, he did whatever he wanted to do and wasted all his money.
14 After he had spent everything, there was no rain in that country. There was almost no food anywhere. So the young man had nothing to eat.
15 He went to a man who lived in that country. He asked to work for him. So the man sent him into his fields to give food to his pigs. 16 Nobody gave him anything to eat. He even wanted to eat the food that the pigs were eating. But he had nothing.
17 Then the son began to think about what he had done. He said to himself, “My father has many servants, and they have plenty of food to eat. They even have more food than they need. But I will die here because I do not have any food. 18 So I will go to my father and tell him, ‘I have done bad things against God, and I have done bad things against you.
MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 1ST NOVEMBER 2024 MESSAGE:
Vessels are figurative and they actually represent us, humans, particularly Christians. A vessel to be used by God must have a willing heart to serve God. No employer would want to use an unwilling worker who always complains and grumbles if he or she is asked to do some job? If a cup is near you, empty and clean, but if the cup says “I hate this job. I do not want to do it?” Would you use the cup?
When God created man, God gave him free will. Man can choose to love God and serve Him, or he can live a life to please himself by disobeying God. God respects our free will. The creator does not want to force His creation to serve Him. You cannot force someone to love you.
God would rather not use you if you do not want to do the job. He loves a willing worker. The prodigal son recorded in Luke 15:12 chose to leave home away from his father’s presence and lived a riotous life in the city. It was his choice. His father wanted to force him to stay against his will.
Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthian 9:16 expresses the importance of willingness when he said, “Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward.” Willingness should accompany our service to the Lord.
How can we then cultivate the desire to serve God willingly? The answer is knowing the depth of God’s love for us. What it cost God to redeem us from hell? It cost God the life of His only begotten Son. If you realise how much God loves you, you will want to serve Him willingly in return.
However, Beloved, to serve as God’s willing vessel, you must first confess and forsake all known sins. You must also surrender your life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and live daily in obedience to His Word. You must also pray without ceasing and demonstrate unwavering faith in God.
The rewards for God’s willing vessels are enormous. You will not miss them, in the Name of Jesus.
TODAY’S PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. Anointing to serve God willingly, fall upon me, in the Name of Jesus.

EVENING
4. O God, arise and sanctify my heart with the fire of the Holy Ghost, in the Name of Jesus.
5. By the power of the Holy Ghost, I present myself wholly to serve the Lord my God, in the Name of Jesus.
6. May the love of God be saturated in my heart and soul, in the Name of Jesus.
7. I shall be a good example for my generation, in the Name of Jesus.
