Memorize: 2 Timothy 2:21 New Living Translations (NLT)
« If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. »
Read: 2 Timothy 2:19-21 New Living Translations (NLT)
19 But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription:
“The Lord knows those who are his,” and
“All who belong to the Lord must turn away from evil.”
20 In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver,
and some are made of wood and clay.
The expensive utensils are used for special occasions,
and the cheap ones are for everyday use.
21 If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use.
Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.
Message:
« Then Jesus said them; “Very well, give to the government what belongs to the government, and give to God what belongs to God.” »
So many people take dedication for granted and this is because they don’t understand the power behind it.
When you dedicate an object, it becomes the possession and responsibility of who it is dedicated to.
This is why you must dedicate your children or property to God alone.
It could be very risky to wait several years before handing your children over to God. It doesn’t necessarily require a party; you could just take them to Church and let the Pastor dedicate them officially. If you have to, you can celebrate later.
I met a woman who had three daughters with the youngest approaching age thirty, yet none of them was in a relationship, let alone marriage. I was about to pray when the Lord urged me to ask her certain questions. She eventually confessed that all three daughters had been dedicated to Ifa (A West African deity) when they were born, claiming it was to protect them from witches and wizards. We broke the hold of Ifa and rededicated the ladies to God. That same year, all three got married.
Some marriages remain fruitless because someone poured libation during the traditional wedding ceremony. This is why we advocate that the Church wedding must be done after the traditional, so any such strange spirit that may have been invited into the union, whether with or without the knowledge of the couple can be expelled.
Some businesses have been possessed by one demon or the other because a well-wisher invoked a contrary spirit at the opening ceremony. You must never allow such.
There is nothing the devil is involved in that ever ends well.
From now, dedicate everything that is yours to God.
Action point: Mention and/or touch everything that is of value to you and dedicate it to the Most High God now.
