«“So come out from among unbelievers and be separate,” says the Lord, “and do not touch what is unclean; And I will graciously receive you and welcome you [with favor], »
1And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship Him.
2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
- Consecration means being totally surrendered to God, in other words, holding on to Him and Him alone.
Unfortunately, a lot of people hold on to Jesus with one hand and hold on to the world with the other.
How do you explain Christians who claim to have given their all to Christ but who still consult witch doctors over challenging situations?
Truly consecrated Christians are ready to go all the way for God.
Such people may go through a lot of suffering for the Lord, but they will still count it all joy, as long as God is with them, James 1:2.
A good example of a genuinely consecrated person was Apostle Paul.
He was totally sold out to God, such that even when God warned him about being apprehended in Jerusalem, he still went there to preach the gospel, Acts 21:11-14.
He was so consecrated that he declared in Galatians 2:20NLT
« My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. »
Consecrated people care about God more than anyone or anything else.
I was watching an interview on Dove Television one day, and the guest said that in the past,
all Christians cared about was for God to use them,
- but nowadays, people are more interested in how they can use God.
Many people just use Christianity as a cover-up to look good in the society, but when a little test comes, they denounce Christ.
For example, these days, many Christians compromise their faith to get married.
They wear revealing outfits to attract men, attend ungodly gatherings with the hope of finding suitors, and worse still, engage in premarital sex.
A missionary’s inspiring story greatly impacted my decision to be consecrated to God. She was serving in an area that was hostile to Christianity. On her wedding day, while she was getting ready, the authorities raided her home and arrested her for preaching the gospel. Instead of crying, she smiled, kissed the handcuffs and said, “Lord, I didn’t know I was so special to You that You didn’t want to share me with anyone else. How beautiful is Your wedding ring to me.” She was so sold out to God that while others saw a disaster, she saw the handcuffs as God’s wedding ring to her as His bride.
Beloved, are you consecrated to Jesus ?
