1. Increase the capacity of the vessel
You are God’s vessel. He will expand you, stretch you, tear you and make you. The greater the character and the greater the skill, the greater the opportunity for God to use you.
2. Increase the cleanliness of the vessel.
You are God’s vessel. Contamination is as bad as containment. Be a forgiver, keep pure motives and don’t be distracted.
3. Increase the clarity of the vessel.
You are God’s vessel. Stay focussed on the cause on which God has sent you forth.
4. Increase the confidence of the vessel.
You are God’s vessel. Don’t just hide in the corner. Come out and be filled with the Spirit and sent to the masses. You were born for such a time as this.
5. Increase the content of the vessel.
You are God’s vessel. Wisdom is collected by meditating on God’s Word and listening to His voice. Be filled with His wisdom and His ways.
6. Increase the credentials of the vessel.
You are God’s vessel. What are you known to be? Timothy entrusted what he had learnt to “Faithful men”! What reputation are you developing right now?
7. Increase the consistency of the vessel.
You are God’s vessel. Be strong in every area of your life. Be strong when the headwinds blow. Be strong when you feel like giving up. Be strong!
8. Increase the contact of the vessel.
You are God’s vessel. Salt isn’t effective unless it’s out of the salt shaker. Stir up the gift of God that is within you and exercise your gift upon the people you are called too.
9. Increase the cry of the vessel.
You are God’s vessel. According to your desire, be it unto you. Knock and the door shall be opened. Seek and you shall find.
10. Increase the consideration of the vessel
You are God’s vessel. Three things remain but the greatest of these is love. Let love be your motivating force.
