INTRODUCTION: The word consecration can be defined as the act of separating ourselves from things and associations that can affect our relationship with God and dedicating ourselves to God and His kingdom. Joshua told the children of Israel to consecrate themselves for God to do wonders in their midst. Joshua 3:5

Things we should consecrate includes: friends, businesses, fun activities,

The process of consecration can be seen as the human side of sanctification, whereas God sanctifies us through His word, we consecrate ourselves unto God. Our memory verse is a call to consecration.

CONCLUSION: For us to enjoy all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus, we must be willing to make a conscious decision to dedicate your soul, mind heart, and body to God. Consecration is firstly a life of personal holiness before service to God. It is our personal relationship with God that brings spiritual power which enables us to be a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God.

Full consecration is the highest level we can attain in our Christian journey

Let us desire it and aim at it. The experience of living for and serving God at that level is awesome.
