Dedication is sustaining ur effort on an increasing level over a given assignment,until it is done.On d oda hand consecration is 2 surrender all-to put in all it takes - prayer,energy,talents,connections nd everytin.It is 2 be committed 2 somtin witout reservation - to be wholly devoted 2 a cause. In Philippians 1:21,Paul said:"For to me to live is Christ,and to die is gain". By dis Paul was saying whether alive or dead,his life revolves around Jesus Christ.The disciples of Jesus Christ left everytin in order to follow d Lord.What hav u left 2 follow Him? How consecrated re u to d Lord after singing for years: 'Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to Thee'? A classic example of consecration in scriptures is d three Hebrew children - Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. They humbly but boldly looked up at d King nd said, 'Oh king, long may u rule! On d matter of idolatry,we wil not compromise our stand by violating d commandment of our God.He is able to deliver us;but even if he is not willing to deliver us now, we really do not mind bcus we are ready to burn in ur fire dan 2 violate His Word'. In d past,consecration was rife among Christians,but today,it appears it has disappeared 4rm d registers of most Christians. To surrender all means to give ur spouse, children, reputation nd wealth to d Lord. Have u surrendered all?
