The Yielded Vessel || Apst. Oluchi Elkuris; live from Woman 2 Woman Conference at House on The Rock Asaba. 2022 Summary for [The Yielded Vessel || Apostle. Oluchi Elkuris](   • The Yielded Vessel || Apostle. Oluchi Elkuris  ) The Spiritual Cost of Ministry: Understanding the Sacrifices Behind Divine Impact in Asaba [00:05] The meeting's spiritual significance costs more than just money. Attendees pay a price, not only financially, but also spiritually and emotionally, to participate. The speaker reflects on personal struggles faced before attending and emphasizes the intense spiritual warfare in Asaba. [02:25] The importance of praying for pastors and ministers. True love for pastors is shown through consistent prayer, not just verbal support. Ministers often face unseen struggles and attacks, and prayer from congregants is crucial for their strength. [13:34] Embrace being a yielded vessel over a ceremonial one. The lack of God's presence is attributed to many being unyielded vessels despite outward displays of worship. Yielding oneself to God involves surrendering and stopping resistance to truly experience His presence. [15:55] Embracing God's presence requires yielding and learning from the Spirit. Many individuals attend church but fail to truly engage with the Spirit, prioritizing pride over spiritual growth. God seeks those willing to learn His ways, emphasizing that His presence is deeper than mere emotional experiences. [19:26] Yielding oneself is essential to carrying God's presence. A vessel that holds God's presence must be willingly surrendered and not resistant. True yielding involves self-purging and a continuous commitment to the Holy Spirit for spiritual growth. [21:34] True spiritual connection requires more than outward expressions of faith. Crying and physical displays in church do not guarantee the presence of God or true spirituality. Authentic relationship with God is about inner transformation and discernment, not just public performances. [25:40] God seeks devoted individuals ready to be filled with His presence. Many people settle for a comfortable life, becoming ceremonial vessels without deeper spiritual fulfillment. True fulfillment comes from recognizing one's worth and desiring a closer relationship with God, aiming for spiritual 'more'. [27:39] Jesus' mother played a crucial role in the wedding at Cana. During the wedding festivities, the wine ran out, threatening to bring disgrace. Jesus' mother identified the problem and witnessed her ministry by prompting Jesus to act. [32:11] Jesus uses stone jars symbolizing unused potential in the church. The six stone water jars represent vessels that had the capacity to hold significant purpose yet remained unused. Jesus instructs to fill the jars, signifying a call to realize and activate the potential within each vessel. [35:02] Jesus transforms empty vessels into filled ones. Six ceremonial jars were beautiful yet empty, symbolizing those who lack spiritual fulfillment. Mary's statement about the wine signals a need for the Holy Spirit to prevent disgrace in life. [39:30] Spiritual depletion leads to vulnerability to temptation. Prayer alone without seeking refilling of God's presence is insufficient for strength. Just as a car needs fuel, believers must continually refill their spiritual reserves to resist challenges and temptations. [41:43] Spiritual emptiness invites negative influences into one's life. When personal space is empty of positive presence, it can be filled by negative forces. Even while appearing spiritually active, individuals may unknowingly host harmful influences affecting relationships and well-being. [45:47] Understanding spiritual fulfillment and the power within oneself. The discussion highlights the importance of being spiritually filled to overcome life's challenges. An example from scripture illustrates how recognizing one's inner potential can lead to transformative solutions. [47:45] The importance of having spiritual presence beyond appearances. Individuals often underestimate their roles in spiritual settings, thinking looks matter more than spiritual power. True significance lies in embodying the presence of God, which empowers one's actions and service. [52:03] A woman's potential for abundance is revealed through prophetic guidance. The prophet helps the woman realize the value of her seemingly small resources, highlighting her hidden potential. By borrowing vessels from neighbors, she collaborates with her prophetic lineage, signaling that divine presence enhances one's capabilities. [54:01] Embrace God's calling to share your spiritual gifts. The process of spiritual filling comes from secluded prayer and reliance on God's presence. True ministry involves recognizing and pouring out the divine gifts within us for others' benefit. [57:47] The importance of true manifestation of God's presence in believers.
