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 5

Theme: Consecrated by the Word of God.

Biblical reading:

John 17:17 English Standard Version (ESV)

¹⁷ Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

Deuteronomy 11:8-32 English Standard Version (ESV)

⁸ “You shall therefore keep the whole commandment that I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and take possession of the land that you are going over to possess, ⁹ and that you may live long in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey. ¹⁰ For the land that you are entering to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated it, like a garden of vegetables. ¹¹ But the land that you are going over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water by the rain from heaven, ¹² a land that the Lord your God cares for. The eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

¹³ “And if you will indeed obey my commandments that I command you today, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, ¹⁴ he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil. ¹⁵ And he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full. ¹⁶ Take care lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them; ¹⁷ then the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and he will shut up the heavens, so that there will be no rain, and the land will yield no fruit, and you will perish quickly off the good land that the Lord is giving you.

¹⁸ “You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. ¹⁹ You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. ²⁰ You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, ²¹ that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth. ²² For if you will be careful to do all this commandment that I command you to do, loving the Lord your God, walking in all his ways, and holding fast to him, ²³ then the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you. ²⁴ Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours. Your territory shall be from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea. ²⁵ No one shall be able to stand against you. The Lord your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread, as he promised you.

²⁶ “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: ²⁷ the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, ²⁸ and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today, to go after other gods that you have not known. ²⁹ And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal. ³⁰ Are they not beyond the Jordan, west of the road, toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, beside the oak of Moreh? ³¹ For you are to cross over the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you. And when you possess it and live in it, ³² you shall be careful to do all the statutes and the rules that I am setting before you today.

Thought: He who is sanctified by the Word of God must obey the precepts of the Word.

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!
