Consecration is a requirement for those who desire more of God and are saddled with greater responsibilities for the kingdom. From the old Testament times to the New Testament, there has been a frequent call for those called of God to be separated.

What is Consecration?

By definition the word consecration means an official declaration to be holy. That is, a state where God and man have no cause to doubt your being separate, holy and sanctified unto God. Consecration to God means the highest act of worship and sacrifice, because it deals with the sanctification of the spirit, soul and body unto God’s cause.

God Himself hallows it because He is a spirit and those who worship Him must as well learn to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24 NIV) when the bible refers to the body, it addresses the flesh, which is the last and most difficult member to yield to God because it works in enmity with the spirit and God.

A thousand years of self-righteous labor in the church means nothing to God than a consecrated life; because aside that, it will be works that when tried by fire will burn and the person suffers loss i.e. produce no reward for them. No wonder Jesus told His disciples when they were rejoicing over the miracles and deliverance wrought by them.

He said, Rejoice not for the sake of the work but for the sake of your portion of position with God”, implying that your place in God and His acceptance in you is the substance of the whole thing.
God’s keen interest in us is not on the outside work but on the inside. The depth of our consecration should be deep enough to yield your body (flesh) to God.

The whole essence of consecration is that we allow our flesh submit and alien to the Lordship of Christ over our flesh. This is the very fact that makes us disciples.

Consecration is aimed at making us effective and efficient in offering services to God whom we are separated to. It is also a wholesome separation in sincere sanctification to God alone (1Peter 2:4-5 NIV). Our consecration is purely unto God, our creator (Eccl 12:13).

Just as a man marries a woman and the woman by virtue of her consecration to the man does not notice or have any intimacy with another man, no matter how she must have been close or friendly with the person before then. All she now cares about is how to please her husband and to build her home (a consecrated focus). The same commitment and much more does God expect of us in the covenant commitment.

STEPS TO CONSECRATION

  1. Repentance (1 John 1:8-9)
  2. The infilling of the Holy spirit (Romans 8:1-4
  3. Godly exercise (1Tim4:7-8)

BENEFITS OF CONSECRATION

  1. Consecration attracts God to you.
  2. Consecration seals your increase in God.
  3. Consecration prunes our excesses.

In conclusion,

Your consecration is like a thorough clean up within that keeps you fresh and accessible to God and makes you boldly receive from Him without struggle. Our consecration is our authority in the faith and it gives us a legal grounding without shame or fear of anything to boldly carry out our assignment.
Let your garment remains white and maintain a name that is living before God and man.

God bless you.

Good design @Kufray.

Thanks Sir

A good example of a congregation comes from the people of Israel. Besides meeting as a family, the people of Israel, obeying the ordination of God, met several times a year in his presence. We can not create for ourselves a particular way of serving the Lord, we have to do it in God's way, in the biblical way.
