MATTER OF CONSECRATION



What is your own Consecration demanding from you?

When it comes to the matter of Consecration, we must understand that it is a personal business between you and God.

What God demands from one person in the place of consecration often differs from what He demands from another. So trying to justify or explain your consecration to others is like giving yourself unnecessary headache — it may not make sense to them.

Or tell me why would God tell me not to eat until after 1 p.m. at a certain period of my life?

To someone who hasn’t received a similar instruction from God, that would sound strange. They might even tag you “oversabi sister/brother” or “I too know/overdo.”

But always remember this: Consecration is a personal walk with your Maker.


Consecration Comes in Levels

Consecration isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. It comes in levels, depending on what God expects from you.

The Levites, for instance, by virtue of their calling and ministry, were required to maintain a higher standard of consecration. Their assignment demanded it.

Likewise, what God is preparing you for will determine the depth of your consecration.


The Sacrifices of Consecration.

There are things consecration will not permit you to do — not because those things are sinful, but because that’s the sacrifice your consecration demands.

I have a brother who doesn’t eat anything offered to him outside his home. He can’t go to parties or events and eat there.

Is eating at parties a sin? No. But that’s what his consecration requires of him.

So, my question to you is:

What is your own consecration demanding from you?


We have all been called out of darkness into God’s marvellous light to be a royal priesthood. And priests are known to be consecrated.


So, what is your own consecration?

Have you discovered it yet?

Go to God today and ask Him to reveal what your consecration demands of you.

    A consecrated life is a life separated unto God. Absolute holy living, that's my consecration.

Dare To Push Through

Image
  If you’ve ever been stuck in a traffic jam, you’ve probably seen those wheelbarrow pushers forcing their way through. With fearless audacity, they weave in and out of tight corners, squeezing between cars and lorries as if the road belongs to them. They are so sure of where they’re going and are determined to pass through with their goods, no matter how impossible the path may look. If you don’t want to get hurt, you had better give way once you hear them coming. That’s how audacious they are. But here’s the truth: In life, we often need that same boldness and determination if we truly want to move forward. Life does not respect people who give in, give up and step back from the slightest obstruction or difficulty. No. Life responds and paves way for people who are certain and sure about their destination. In this journey, you cannot afford to be indecisive. Every minute counts. That one second you waste thinking back and forth is enough for someone else to take your place at the...

Breaking Free from Low Self-Esteem

Image
Low self-esteem is something I battled with for years. Growing up, so many factors contributed to it, shaping how I saw myself and interacted with the world. The Root of My Struggles 1. An Embarrassing Experience A situation that defined most of my childhood, teenage years, and early adulthood left a lasting impact on me. (Hopefully, you will get to learn more about this hidden and untold part of my life in Scars , my ongoing memoir.) 2 . Verbal Abuse I grew up around adults who were very expressive. I didn’t get beaten much because I rarely erred, but I was lambasted at the slightest mistake. It didn’t help that I was an emotional child. 3. Body Shaming Oh Lord! How I suffered from this. I was never the ‘curvy’ girl. I was tall and almost skinny throughout my teenage years (even now, there isn’t much difference). My classmates, neighbors, and even my own family made me the butt of their jokes.  Tinrinbeku , Lepa Shandi —all the not-so-beautiful names for slim girls. A particular c...

Seven Tricks of Breaking Free from Garri Addiction

Image
Hi, my name is Esther… and I am a garri addict. There, I said it. They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Well, mine has always been simple: the moment I hear cold water splashing on garri, sugar and groundnut grinning on top, my self-control takes annual leave. I whisper to myself, “Just one cup.” But before I know it, I’ve licked the bowl clean and I’m negotiating with my conscience for round two. If you’ve ever found yourself in this hopeless cycle, congratulations. You’re not alone. And for the sake of our collective deliverance, I have put together seven tried-and-tested tricks to help us break free from garri addiction. Trick 1: Avoid Garri Friends. You know them. The ones who stroll into class with kuli-kuli in their pockets, or that neighbor who always stocks Peak milk like it’s an investment. They are not your friends. They are stumbling blocks, agents of relapse. If you must, block them on WhatsApp until your healing is complete. Trick 2: Replac...
