Are you willing to consecrate yourself to the Lord? What
does it mean to consecrate: “To make or declare (something, typically a church)
sacred; dedicate formally to a religious or divine purpose”. Not many are
willing to do this. To consecrate yourself is to formally set yourself apart
for the work of God and His work only. The consecrated enjoy a greater intimacy
with Most High as a result of their consecration.
Consecration is not something one takes lightly. It’s not a
vow to make rashly (Ecclesiastes 5:5-6; Proverbs 20:25) because it comes with
great sacrifice [and greater reward]. The consecrated must be sincere in heart
and devoted in Spirit because one cannot consecrate himself and return to the
things that defiled him; this is an abomination to the Lord and He will not be
pleased (2 Peter 2:20-21).
Some of us have been called to consecration. If you are
called. You have been gifted with all you need to answer the call (Hebrew
13:21; Philippians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:17). Praise God for His loving and patient
hand. He will prepare those He has called to be consecrated unto Him; and when
the time is ready, they who have been called will be holy in His sight
(Ephesians 1:4; Leviticus 20:7; Colossians 1:22; 2 Timothy 2:21).
This is why King David still asks, “Now [this moment], who
is willing to consecrate himself today [right now] to the Lord [God YHWH]?” 1
Chronicles 29:5
No need to fret. If you are called to consecration, God will
make it plain and make it so. All you need to have is a willing Spirit and
willingness to trust Him.
I AM SAYS TO THOSE HE HAS CALLED: Be at peace little one, for
I AM has consecrated you to holiness. It has already been done.
