THE VIRTUE OF CONSECRATION (PART 3)

Apst. Emmanuel Osezele

KEY TEXT: Exodus 32:29 KJV – “For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the Lord, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.”

Consecration is a pathway to divine blessings and spiritual authority. When God sees that a man or woman has chosen to be set apart for Him, He releases grace, favor, and assignments that ordinary people cannot handle. Many are praying for divine elevation without embracing the lifestyle that qualifies them for it. God said to the Levites, “Thou shalt separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine” – Numbers 8:14 KJV. Heaven recognizes and honors those who are fully yielded.

One of the key fruits of consecration is divine intimacy. God reveals His secrets to those who are sanctified for His purpose. “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant” – Psalm 25:14 KJV. You cannot walk closely with God while still holding tightly to the world. Consecration qualifies you to dwell in His presence, hear His voice clearly, and be entrusted with deeper dimensions of His power and revelation.

Believers who are consecrated also become living epistles—walking testimonies of God’s holiness and truth. Their lives convict sinners, encourage saints, and bring glory to Jesus Christ. “Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men” – 2 Corinthians 3:2 KJV. Your consecrated life is a message louder than any sermon. If people around you cannot see Christ through your lifestyle, then consecration is still lacking. This generation does not just need more preachers; it needs more consecrated vessels.

PRAYER:

Father, let my life be a vessel that carries Your presence and message. Strip me of anything that hinders my walk with You. Let me be counted among those who are set apart and trusted by You. Use me for Your glory, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.

REFLECTION:

2 Timothy 2:19 KJV – “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
