Consecration
Consecration is a vital key to fulfilling your purpose in
life. In Matt 26:36-42 we can see the Lord Jesus Christ in His prayer Life
praying the prayer of consecration. These verses give us an example of Jesus’
dedication as He consecrated Himself to do the will of The Father. What Jesus
was talking about when he prayed in the garden of Gethsemane , “ if it’s
Possible, let this cup pass from me” Matt.
26:39.
Jesus Knew the cross laid before Him, He knew He was about
to be made the sacrifice for sin on our behalf. Heb.9:26. Think of all the sins committed by mankind throughout all
ages, the bible says Jesus was made sin for us so that we might become the
righteousness of God in Him. 2nd
Cor.5:21. But in the garden of Gethsemane, knowing He was going to the
Cross, the pure, spotless Son of God drew back from the prospect of bearing the
sin of all mankind and experiencing separation from God
No wonder when those final hours drew near, Jesus was
sorrowful and heavy. Matt 26:38. Mark 14:34. Even though Jesus knew His
substitutionary death for mankind was the reason He had come into the world, He
battled the temptation to draw back from what was to come, and He prayed to
God, “If it be possible, let this cup pass from me.”
The Prayer of consecration is not a onetime prayer, as is
the prayer of faith. The prayer of consecration is a prayer you pray throughout
your life. You will only be able to follow God’s plan for your life if you
constantly maintain an attitude of consecration and surrender to the Lords
will, whatever it may be.
Prayer of
Consecration
Lord, I present myself unto you. May your WILL be done in my
life. May I never forget that I have surrendered all I am to you.
I commit myself to be one whom you can use – consecrated and
separated unto your purposed. I’ll pay the price by denying the flesh. If you
call me in the nighttime, I’ll get on my knees and pray. If I’m never seen of
men, and if I always work behind the scenes, still I will be faithful. I lay
aside all personal ambition; I’ll be one who walks in the spirit and in your
perfect will. In Jesus, your will shall be wrought in my heart, in my life, and
in my ministry. Amen
