Hi Friends,
Happy New Month! Welcome to the month of March!
It is the beginning of the Lenten Season and we are reminded more than ever that we need to consecrate ourselves to the service of the Lord. Consecration is the act of dedicating something to God and sanctifying it thereby making it holy. Holiness is the state of bring separate or set apart.
Joshua 3:5 AMP “Then Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves [for His purpose], for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders (miracles) among you.” Joshua called on the people to make spiritual preparation for divine manifestation, to consecrate themselves. He was telling them to clean up and prepare because God was about to blow their minds.
Consecration is giving everything back into Christ’s control. Consecration is surrendering to Him. Consecration is an act of worship. Consecration is bringing yourself under subjection. This is the season of consecration, so consecrate your hearts, spirits, minds, thoughts, homes, churches etc. Consecrate me now to Your service Lord.
Also, I would like to release this word over you that I spoke at the beginning of the year. It is still your year to thrive in 2025.
VIDEO: “Surviving Servanthood”
This month, I would like to share with you one of my recent sermons entitled “Surviving Servanthood” based on Mark 10:35-45. The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows! Here are some of the key points shared:
✝️ A Servant must know how to humble himself/herself
✝️ A Servant must understand the Mission
✝️ A Servant must understand who he/she is serving
✝️ Jesus modeled Servanthood for us. He is our example
✝️ We are designed to serve or, in the words of Rick Warren, we are “shaped to serve”
✝️ You must have a heart and a spirit to serve
✝️ There is greatness in Service. If you want to be great, serve
✝️ Servant begat Servant
Mark 10:44-45 NIV “And whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Watch/Listen and be blessed. Remember to share and subscribe to more YouTube channel.
HOLDING ON TO HOPE
