Day 3

Spiritual Campaign: CONSECRATED

Leviticus 11:44 (ESV)

44 For I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any swarming thing that crawls on the ground

Day 3

Theme: He who is of Christ, separates for Christ.

Biblical reading:

Romans 14:1-9 English Standard Version (ESV)

Do Not Pass Judgment on One Another

14 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

Thought: If we are of the Lord who died and rose again, we must separate to please the Lord who redeemed us with the price of his blood.

In a fallen and very depraved world, the eternal God, who is three times Holy, demands our daily sanctification. And this purification of soul, mind and heart, in turn requires the consecration of our lives on a genuine altar of true worship.

The biblical terms: sanctify, separate and consecrate … are synonymous terms. Consecration is, therefore, separation. Separation from the world, from sin and the power of darkness! Separation in God, by God … and for God.

In the Old Testament the priests and even the chosen people of God had to consecrate themselves in order to participate in the sacred feasts, when they came to present themselves in the presence of the Most High. And in line with this principle, we invite you to prepare your spirit to celebrate the Major Week of our faith, with an attitude of consecration to God.

For 21 days, you and I will have the opportunity to separate for God by participating in this revival crusade of spiritual consecration.

Pray daily, read the biblical texts and fast under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Let’s approach God with a willing heart … to take the cross of self-denial, which is willing to die, so that Christ may live!

Special instructions:
During the next 21 days we recommend spending a minimum of one hour a day in the presence of God, praising, praying and meditating on the Word. And during your times of prayer you should always ask the Lord to reveal to you the areas of your life that still need to be consecrated to the service of God.

In addition, you will fast a minimum of one meal a day (we recommend Wesley’s fast from 12:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. daily). Remember that fasting is NOT EATING. Fast seeking the direction of God under the anointing of his Spirit. Fast as the Lord tells you to fast. Do not fast with an attitude of religiosity, to be heard by God.

Set aside a special time to read the biblical meditations and as you read them, reflect on the renewing message of the Word, paying attention to the voice of the Holy Spirit. God wants to speak to your heart!

David said to the Lord: “Wash me more and more of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.” “Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; Wash me, and I will be much whiter than white snow. “(Psalm 51: 2,7) Church, the Lord wants to cleanse us from all our wickedness and from all contamination of” flesh and spirit. ”

God will help us to consecrate all that needs to be consecrated; he wants to fill a Consecrated House. Therefore, get to work!

Let’s start this journey of spiritual consecration!
