    Consecration means dedicating one's entire life to God. It involves setting oneself apart for God's purposes alone. When we consecrate ourselves, we are ready to receive God's blessings and wonders. God calls us to consecration so that we may serve Him and be prepared for eternity. Consecration is both the starting point of dedicating ourselves to God, and a continual pathway of living for Him alone.

    A Call to

    Consecretion
    Joshua 3:5 ESV
    Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate
    yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do
    wonders among you.”
    The message clearly reveals our part and God’s
    part.
    •Our Part —to consecrate ourselves
    •God’s Part —to do wonders, amazing things,
    powerful works, miracle-wonders, miraculous
    deeds
    1 Thessalonians 5 AMP 23 Now may the God of peace
    Himself sanctify you through and through [that is,
    separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you
    pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him
    —set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and
    soul and body be kept complete and [be found]
    blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
    1. What Consecration Means
    • The offering of a whole life to God.
    • A life set apart to God is a consecrated life.
    • Consecrate means to make holy or to dedicate
    to a higher purpose.
    1. What Consecration Means

    • Consecration is final and continual.


    • God expects our dedication to be a once-for-all
    giving of ourselves to Him.
    2. The Motive for Consecration

    Consecration is the giving of my life to


    God to do His will instead of my own.
    2. The Motive for Consecration

    It is our resolve and desire to live in the way that


    agrees with His grace by engaging in the
    practices that allow that grace to work its effect
    on us.
    Psalm 77 NLV 11 I will remember the things the Lord has
    done. Yes, I will remember the powerful works of long
    ago. 12 I will think of all Your work, and keep in mind all
    the great things You have done. 13 O God, Your way is
    holy. What god is great like our God? 14 You are the God
    Who does great works. You have shown Your power
    among the people. 15 You have set free Your people, the
    sons of Jacob and Joseph, with Your strong arm.
    3. The Blessing of Consecration

    I AM CONSECRATED; I am ready to receive the


    wondrous things God has prepared for me.
    • Joshua 3:5
    • Isaiah 1:18-20
    • Psalm 24:5
    Isaiah 1:18 “Come on now, let’s discuss this!” says the
    Lord. “Though your sins are bright red, they will
    become as white as snow. Though they are dark red,
    they will become as white as wool. 19 If you are
    willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the
    land. 20 But if you refuse and rebel, you will be
    destroyed by swords.” The Lord has spoken.
    3. The Blessing of Consecration

    I AM CONSECRATED; I have the privilege to


    serve God and His purposes.
    • Romans 12:1-2
    • Leviticus 27:28
    Romans 12 ERV 1 So I beg you, brothers and sisters, because
    of the great mercy God has shown us, offer your lives as a
    living sacrifice to him—an offering that is only for God and
    pleasing to him. Considering what he has done, it is only right
    that you should worship him in this way. 2 Don’t change
    yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God
    change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be
    able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You
    will be able to know what is good and pleasing to him and
    what is perfect.
    3. The Blessing of Consecration

    I AM CONSECRATED; I am prepared for eternity.


    • Ephesians 5:26, 27
    • Psalm 24:3,4
    Ephesians 5 AMP 26 so that He might sanctify the
    church, having cleansed her by the washing of
    water with the word [of God],  so that [in turn]
    27 

    He might present the church to Himself in


    glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any
    such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart
    for God] and blameless.
    • The church, likewise, is holy because God
    called it to be the body of Christ and the bride
    of Christ.
    • But God's call is only one aspect of holiness.
    While it is true that there is no holiness
    without God's call upon us, there is also no
    holiness without our faithful response.
    •Consecration is both a gate and a pathway.
    •It is the prelude to all the wonders, powers,
    promises and eternal blessings God has
    prepared for us.
