*DAILY DEW 9/FEBRUARY/2023* *THE DEMANDS OF CONSECRATION* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"I AM CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST: NEVERTHELESS I LIVE; YET NOT I, BUT CHRIST LIVETH IN ME: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."* (Galatians 2:20 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ I sat beside this woman carrying a sick looking child in the bus and with looks of despondency and rejection, she began making a call to someone. She was pleading with the person to borrow her a certain amount of money which was half of her monthly salary to feed her family and treat her child. This was ending of last year. The Holy Spirit prompted me to ask her what was the amount she was trying to borrow (half of her salary) and to my shock it was the very and the exact amount I had there with me. Then the Spirit went ahead to tell me to release that very amount to her which I had planned to use it to purchase certain vitals for my home and as I did, the woman's countenance seemed like the very transitioning between night and day; it was all bright now. It was a painful sacrifice to me but it did serve a divine purpose. I realized that the Consecrated man no longer has the final say over his time, talent and his treasures. They are all the Lord's. The call to Consecration is the Call to death to the self life. The consecrated man releases to the Lord whatever he bids him to. Hearing God is one thing and acting on what you heard is another thing. The consecrated man both hears and acts. Even if he builds an empire in time, any day the Holy One of Israel says, "hand it over", that is the day he parts with that earthly possession. *He has not only conquered greed but has also conquered attachment to the mundane. If He bids us to the plough, there we go and labour in His vineyard, If He bids us to the altar, there we go and are burnt as living Sacrifices.* _MEDITATION:_ *"It is time beloved, It is time to Consecrate ourselves and become living Sacrifices to God alone. Before us must be one chief goal, to become THE CONSECRATED MAN or to be nothing"* *#Christian_Nwoke_Mission* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2023* ❤ *#Guest_Message* Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
