Steemchurch: consecration to God

in #steemchurch7 years ago

Romans 12:1

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

According to the English dictionary, consecration is defined as the action of making or the action of declaring something, typically a church, sacred.

Dear steemians,
I believe that the greatest pleasure we’ve ever had is to long after God’s word and seek him with all our heart. Living a wholehearted life for Christ is more fulfilling than any other thing you can ever think of today.
I want the Christians and the members of the steemchurch to create a great influence to many who are lost. This can only be done by our wholehearted consecration to God.

Before this can be done, we also have to realize one thing:
God loves us wholeheartedly also
Our heart needs to stay awake to this incredible truth, because God cannot ask his children to do what he cannot do. Consecration to God is something we see little in the world today.
How many people can say they just want to consecrate on God and abandon themselves in his word.

I think that is the kind of life one needs to live, because the world is a mirror of luxury and also with many promises which we cannot get, instead all we get by pursuing these things is death.

A Consecrated Life

People that claims to be Christians today are actually something-else from their claim.

Revelation 3:16

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

All you find in churches today are hypocrites and church goers. The people are tired of lukewarm stories and lukewarm people. All they need is the real thing, the one thing to give their lives to that will truly make them alive inside.
God is looking out for consecrated people all over the earth today. People who wants to give thier 100% to God, people who wants to pray relentlessly.

Matthew 11:12

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of God suffered violence and the violent take it by force

The word “consecrated” simply means: a sacred unity by force.” John the Baptist is an example of a man who lived a consecrated life.

We are in the most intense time in human history.

In some recent post I saw someone talking about this, which is very nice. Today, we’re living in a neurotic age. The pressures on people today has mounted so high on them. In light of this, this is also the generation God wants us to walk in the greatest anointing this world could ever bring or has ever seen.

  • We must be consecrated to God in times of crisis.
  • We must separate ourselves from sin and unto union with God.

How can these things be done?
We need to set aside quality time for focused seeking after God in our knees, fasting, and devotion. Remember, You reap what you sow (2 Corinthians 9:6-7).

The impact of focusing on God produces:

  • A purposed heart
  • A changed lifestyle
  • A reaping of consequences in God

God is beginning to challenge the young to a life of prayer and devotion.

  • Cut out the unnecessary
  • Make times for fasting and pray
  • Study Biblical examples
  • Receive grace to walk it out.
  • Don’t condemn yourself when you fall.
  • Live in expectation

I want you all to recommit your life to Jesus today. Give him a chance to take you by the hand into a new life of consecration, a life of total and 100% commitment. Why not let joy of the Lord will be your strength? Come to Jesus today, and stay on the safer side.

Fine one.

When every parishioner contributes to SteemChurch positively, that is possible. It's good reading from you.

Consecration to me, is totally giving oneself to the God so as to become a useful tool to the service of God.

A song says, take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to thee

However as Christians we must always learn to give us a chance in our life in total sevice to the cause of God's work

🙌 I am indeed blessed with this post. Esp

Or body is the temple of God and how we keep our body really matters. Because when the body is not clean that means God cannot dwell in it because our God dislikes unclean life.

Our greatest privilege is to hunger after God and seek Him with all our heart. There is nothing else more fulfilling than living wholeheartedly for Him in this life, but so few live lives that provoke us to this kind of radical lifestyle.

Thanks for sharing this with us

I strongly support you on this, great post

If only we could have the wide range of scope to visualize how sacred our God is, then we will surely be of great submission to him and serve him all our lives because our reward is of great importance to us. He is indeed consecrated.

This part touched me the most.. Nice article @odiaprecious

As far as God is concerned, holiness is a must.
