Fully Consecrated Unto God

Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean, because you will conceive and give birth to a son. No razor may be used to his head, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines”. Judges 13:4-5 (NIV)

Bible Reading: Judges 13:1-14

A major attribute of God’s Generals across nations of the world is consecration and commitment unto God. The Bible documents in abundance lives of fathers of faith dedicated to God’s purpose. In a generation like this, it is helpful to see kingdom principles at work through the lives of certain individuals. For instance, D.L Moody’s resolved that‚ “The world is yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to Him. By God’s help, I aim to be that man”. D.L Moody shook the world for God’s glory and through him, the world encountered a great revival. D.L Moody was fully dedicated and devoted unto God. And God did exploit in and through D.L Moody.

The encounter between Manoah’s wife and the angel in today’s reading revealed what consecration entails. It means self-denial and separation unto the Lord. The moment an individual is consecrated unto the Lord, s/he shouldn’t yoke with the world again. Sin becomes foreign because the new life in Christ brings newness.

In this last day, it seems many have forgotten how important “consecration” is. Here’s a wise saying: “Anyone who has a destiny in God needs to be consecrated for God’s purpose, deny self and work in righteousness and holiness”.

Self-Reflection: Anybody that has a destiny in God must consecrate him/herself for that purpose, deny self and walk in righteousness and holiness

Action Point: Take a decision to be consecrated unto God today.

Daily Confession: I give myself away Lord Jesus Christ. Be the Lord over my life, be my saviour and use my life for Your glory. Amen

Intercessory prayer: Pray for drug and substance addicts for God to encounter their lives.

Hymn: Take my life and let it be

Consecrated Lord to Thee

Take my moment and my days

Let them flow in endless praise
