Unshakable Foundation of God

"Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. II Timothy 2:14-26 NKJV

All men are without exception God's servants. The question is to what purpose are you used by Him -- noble or ignoble. I believe that no one wants to be used for ignoble purpose. God never force anyone to obey for noble purpose although He draws you to respond and obey Him. At the same time, God never leave you alone without instructions to follow. Here are the instructions for you and me to follow which are given to Timothy by Paul to be used for the noble purposes.

First and foremost of all, in order to be used by God for every good work, you should say "No" to the wrongs. Paul admonishes his son in the faith to flee youthful lusts, but pursue righteousness, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. You see that flee first evils and then pursue goodness. Flee quarrels and strifes but pursue gentleness, teachings, patience, humility. An amazing statement is that repentance is coming from God. God enlightens the heart of His dear children to repent, so that they may know the truth and they may come to senses and escape the snares of the devil. It's by His grace for you to be used for every good work of the Lord. What you do is to say "No" to the evils and say "Yes" to the Lord.
