I realized that I have been using this word 'consecration' rather a lot recently. Its a big word, and its a word that people don't normally like to use. Yet, it is such an important part of being a disciple of Christ.
The word 'consecration' basically means set apart. We are called to make a difference wherever God has placed us in. Don't look at your situation and complain about your circumstances, but look at it as God's way of putting you in certain places to make a difference. God wants us to be set apart for his namesake and his glory. During last night's praying meeting in church, I was reflecting on this verse in 1 Peter 2:9 "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, his special people, that you might proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."
We are called to be a people that will be separated for Him. Therefore, chose to set yourselves apart from the things which you know does not please God. As 1 Peter 1:16 says "Be holy, for I AM holy." Chose to honor God and put him above all the other priorities.
I hope you guys have been thinking about how consecration over the past three days and how you can get back to the Father heart of God. :)
Love,
