Its a word we all hear a lot in the religious circles but what does it really mean? I have been studying on consecration recently and found it to be very rewarding as well as very convicting. Consecration is a willing decision on your part to offer God every part of your life. At first glance we think, that's no big deal. We all did that when we got saved. Right? Wrong! The prayer of consecration means you hold nothing back. If God asks you to give something up you don't ask why? You don't take a poll among your friends to see if they think it is wrong. Consecration is a willingness to please him. It is a deliberate decision to give ourselves to our Lord.
Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore brethren and beg you in view of all the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication.
In your thoughts you may fully intend to give it to God at a later date. But just remember that good intentions do not equal total obedience. And total obedience is what the Lord requires.
Decide today to give all of yourself to God. Let him in every room of your heart. Give Him free reign to rearrange and cleanse as He sees necessary.
