-Consecrate means "pagtatalaga ng buhay".Itodo mo na kay LORD!
Consecrating yourself to something (or someone) can determine your success.
Lance Armstrong, a world record holder who is battling with cancer, teaches us about "CONSECRATION". His doctors tried to stop him from cycling because of his worsening conditions but he never listened to their advices. He was so consecrated to his cycling career and to get that ever coveted gold medal. When he already got 8 medals, that is the only time he stopped competing. When asked why, he said: "I stop because I am fully aware that I got it."
Lance Armstrong was a successful athlete because he consecrated his entire life in his cycling career. If a man like Lance was successful because he consecrated his life in sports, how much more if one consecrates his/her life to GOD?
You and me must consider ourselves as GOD's best weapon and SATAN's worst nightmare!
Start consecrating yourself to the Lord and start becoming a threat to the Devil!
Consecration prepares you for the battle ahead!
2.) CONSECRATING YOURSELF TO THE LORD PRODUCES AMAZING THINGS I YOUR LIFE.
In the bible, Joshua reminds us of consecrating ourselves to the Lord.
joshua 3:5 (New International Version)
5 Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you."
Consecrate your self to new pattern and these new patterns will result to a new life!
CONSECRATION ENDS OUR WAITING TIME.
"es tu turno"
it is your turn!
The waiting is over!
3.) CONSECTATION MAKES GOD BEGIN SOMETHING NEW IN YOUR LIFE.
Consecration means "dying to self."
The day that we die is the day that we live.
In order for God to begin something new in our lives, we must first bury our old selves and consecrate our new lives fully to Him.
4.) CONSECRATION BRINGS EXALTATION
JOSHUA 3:7
7 And the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses. 8 Tell the priests who carry the ark of the covenant: 'When you reach the edge of the Jordan's waters, go and stand in the river.'
We should convince God to exalt us and we can only do this if we consecrate ourselves fully to Him. Through this, others will desire what we have. Thus, we should be obvious that we are CHRIST's DISCIPLE!
Certainly, we must give God a reason to bless us!
We must consecrate ourselves to HIM!
and HIM alone..
