TOPIC: LET HIM MAKE YOU
MEMORISE:
Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
Proverbs 25:4
READ: Isaiah 6:1-8
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 11 NOVEMBER 2026 TODAY’S MESSAGE
There is always a set time for every man. The set time for Joseph came when he was 30 years old (Genesis 41:46), even though he had dreamt of greatness since he was a boy (Genesis 37:5-9). When you read Genesis 40:1-23, you will discover that, despite everything he did in prison, the person who was supposed to help him forgot about him. When his set time came, however, he was remembered. I have good news for you as you read this devotional today: the time for the Almighty God to remember you has come.
Joseph’s set time eventually came because he allowed God to make him into the kind of vessel that could save people and nations. If he had harboured anger towards his brothers and allowed bitterness to cloud his judgment, his set time would still have come, but it might have met him unprepared. Instead of becoming Joseph the governor, he might have remained Joseph the dreamer if he had not cooperated with God.
Between a person’s dreams and his or her set time is what I call the time of making, which some people refer to as the time of process. It is a period when God removes everything that will not allow a person to shine when his or her set time comes and replaces them with virtues. For instance, God may remove a person’s impatience and anger and replace them with patience and love. He might remove every tendency to be greedy and selfish and work out integrity and faith in the fellow. When you find yourself in a season of making, don’t fight God; rather, cooperate with Him. Allow Him to purge you of every dross so that you can become a fine vessel.
Today’s Bible reading tells us about Isaiah’s encounter with God. Even though he went into God’s presence filthy, he didn’t leave there filthy; he was purified. When the seraphim brought a live coal towards him to put it on his lips, he didn’t object. He willingly allowed the Lord to purify and prepare him for the next phase of his assignment. Sometimes, people don’t cooperate with God, and this makes them go around in circles for a long time.
Beloved, when God reveals an aspect of your life that needs redress, submit to Him and allow Him to work on that area. When you allow God to work on you, He will make you a worthy vessel He can use.
PRAYER POINT
Dear Lord, I cooperate with You today.
Please make me and purify me for Your glory.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 11 NOVEMBER 2026 COMMENTARY
There is a set time for every person, but between the dream and the fulfilment lies a season that many overlook — the time of making. Today’s devotional, “Let Him Make You,” is a gentle but firm reminder that God is not just interested in blessing you; He is interested in shaping you.
Daddy uses the life of Joseph and the vision of Isaiah to show us that God prepares vessels before He uses them, and our cooperation with that process determines how quickly we step into our set time. Let’s look at some of the lessons from the devotional.
There Is a Set Time for Every Man
The first lesson is that there is a set time for every man. Joseph’s own came when he was 30 years old (Genesis 41:46), even though he had dreamt of greatness since he was a boy.
This truth brings both comfort and patience. You may feel forgotten right now — overlooked at work, unseen in your family, or waiting on a promise that seems delayed. But God has not forgotten you. Your set time is real, and it is coming. The delay is not denial. The silence is not absence. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
Let God Prepare You for Your Set Time
Daddy explains that between a person’s dream and his or her set time is what he calls “the time of making” — a period when God removes everything that will not allow a person to shine when the set time comes and replaces them with virtues.
The trials, the corrections, the pruning, and even the delays are not punishments — they are preparations. Joseph’s set time came because he allowed God to make him into the kind of vessel that could save nations. Don’t fight the process. Don’t resist the refining. Let God make you into the vessel He intended you to be.
Those Who Don’t Cooperate with God Go Around in Circles for a Long Time
Think about the children of Israel in the wilderness — a journey that should have taken eleven days took forty years because of their stubbornness and unbelief (Deuteronomy 1:2-3). Imagine how different Joseph’s story would have been if he had held onto bitterness. Instead of becoming Joseph the governor, he might have remained Joseph the dreamer.
Resisting God’s work in your heart delays your destiny. When God reveals an aspect of your life that needs redress, submit to Him. When He prunes a relationship, an attitude, or a habit, let it go. The quicker you cooperate, the quicker you move forward.
Cooperating with the Potter’s Hands
There is a set time for every man, and God wants you to be prepared when that time comes. He is not delaying your blessing — He is refining your vessel. The question is: will you cooperate with Him? Will you let Him remove the dross, the anger, the impatience, the bitterness, the greed? Will you let Him make you?
This week, don’t fight the process. Don’t run from the refining fire. Instead, open your heart to God and say, “Lord, make me into the vessel You want me to be.” Your set time is coming. Let it meet you prepared.
Action Steps
- Identify the dross in your life. Ask God to show you what needs to be removed — impatience, anger, bitterness, greed, or any other attitude that will hinder you at your set time. Write it down and surrender it to God.
- Cooperate with God’s refinement. When God brings a correction, don’t resist it. Instead, thank Him for His work and ask Him to help you yield to the process.
- Stay patient in the season of making. Remind yourself daily that your set time is coming. Keep a journal of what God is teaching you in this season, and trust that He is preparing you for something greater.
Prayer Points
- Father, I thank You for the good plans You have for my life.
- Lord, please prepare me for my set time. Let me not miss the season of making, in Jesus’ name.
- Father, I surrender to the refining process. Remove every dross from my life, and let me willingly cooperate with You, in Jesus’ name.
- Lord, I let go of every anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness. Cleanse my heart and replace these with patience and love, in Jesus’ name.
- Father, give me a submissive heart that welcomes correction and embraces the work You are doing in me, in Jesus’ name.
- Lord, let my set time meet me prepared. Make me a worthy vessel, and let the purpose You have for my life be fulfilled, in Jesus’ name.
- Father, make me available for Your use, and let me walk in the fullness of my destiny, in Jesus’ name.
