Exodus 32:29 KJV~ “For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the Lord, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.”
What is Consecration? It is giving yourself to the Lord and becoming a living sacrifice for God! It was best said by Paul in Romans 12:1! But just so you know, Consecration is your responsibility, it’s your reasonable service unto God to Consecrate yourself! True Consecration is to be set apart, to be holy and used strictly for God and His service, to be Consecrated before God is for you to decrease, dethrone yourself and to let Jesus Christ be increased and be Enthroned in your life as your Lord and Savior! It’s in this place that the process of dying and rising, of self-discipline and the renewing Power of the Holy Spirit is taking place in you. Paul described it this way, “For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh” (2 Corinthians 4:11).
Our God is so Good, as I was preparing this devotional, I saw this scripture (Joshua 3:5, “And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you. “We have got to stop underestimating God’s Power to teach us while we are going through the process! He took a moment to teach me about Consecration in the process of going through! As I was praying Jesus was in pursuit of intimacy with me, He was up close and in my personal space, stepping on all of my toes! To God be the Glory, for there is no One else who can cleanse you from all unrighteousness!
You need to know this, before you enter your Promise Land, you must go through a purification ceremony. This is done before you make a sacrifice (you have to surrender and yield to God for the process to work) this must be done before you can witness in this next great act of God! God says to Consecrate yourself before the Lord, so that He can do those amazing things He’s been waiting and wanting to do in you! But He can’t do it until you move out of the way and consecrate yourself, you are in your own way, please move out of the way, you are holding up His progress!
Once you consecrate yourself and sanctify yourself to God He will do things in you, with you, for you, and through you that will amaze you! Your job is to consecrate, to be set apart, to be different! You are no longer just going to church every Sunday, paying your tithes and offering, and pretending that you are worshipping for others to see you and hear you, it looks good from the outside, but nothing in your heart has changed, doing all of those things are good and are a part of the process, but it’s not consecration, but if you just want to look good, you are accomplishing that!
When you’re Consecrated for God, you surrender your whole self to Him, you deny your flesh and you die to self, for you realize that every fiber of your being is for Him, every single second that you are breathing is because of Him, every move you make is because of Him, everything you have, your clothes, shoes, home, car, food, job, family, friends, and money yes, money, every single penny that you have is because of God, He gave you gifts, all because He loves you!
So, tell me why haven’t you totally Consecrated yourself to Him? Today is good day to start, repent, release, and consecrate yourself before the Lord and watch out for those amazing things that are going to start happening in your life!
Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Father, Thank You for purchasing me with Your Blood, making my body a temple of Your Holy Spirit and now I present every single member of my body to You as a living sacrifice an instrument of righteousness to be used by You and for You! I repent right now of every time I abused my body, and I surrender everything under the atoning Blood of Jesus Christ! Father, I Consecrate not only my body, but my thoughts, my words, my emotions, and my actions to You today and every day. Father, hide me in Your secret place and hold me close to You! Father, I have put all my trust in You and my life is in Your Hands and there is no better place to reside, than under the wings of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Father, I ask all this in Your Mighty Name. Amen!
Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
