Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

One of the most poignant things that is missing from today’s follower of the Lord Jesus Christ is the notion of consecration. This seems to be an old concept and is seldom spoken about in churches up and down the country. However, when Moses and the Israelites prepared to meet up with God they had to ‘consecrate’ themselves. This meant abstaining from pleasures for three days, washing themselves thoroughly and making a declaration to obey the Lord.

 To consecrate is to ‘set apart as holy’ or ‘to make or declare as sacred’ for religious purposes. We can do this by taking time out to be with God in fasting and prayer.  When was the last time you did this? The Lord wanted his people to be a nation of Kings and Priest for him so that he could declare his glory on the earth as it is in heaven.

Today as a holy nation and a peculiar people separated unto God through faith in Jesus Christ, let us consecrate ourselves in our thoughts, our actions and in all the ways we honour Christ. In Moses’ time he was the only one God spoke to face to face. We have the opportunity to speak directly to God every day through the anointed one. Read Hebrews 1.
