Focus: Don't waste your Consecration

The word for today
Whatever a man does in his service to God which makes provision for the works of the flesh is not acceptable to Him. The devil will not hinder a man from rendering various services but he will ensure that they are not acceptable!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference:
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." (Romans 12:1NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What makes your service to God a sacrifice indeed is that it fulfills His purpose and brings Glory to Him. Our service remains a fruitless effort and mere activity if God will not accept it. A service may appear good but may not be reasonable because it defiles holiness and righteousness.

God will only reward righteousness, holiness and purity. As far as God is concerned 99.99% obedience is a failure. No matter the percentage of your obedience to God you have not obeyed until your obedience is complete. Moses wasted 40 days and night consecration on the account of anger against the sin of the children of Israel (Exo 32:19). Samson wasted the investment of God over his life on the lap of Delilah(Judges 13).

Jesus said the consecration of several men who will claim to have preached, healed and performed miracles in the name of the Lord will be wasted because their services will be regarded as iniquity on the account of the work of the flesh (Matt 7:23). What is the essence of becoming a minister of God at any level of operation if the position you assume will make you a professional thief, manipulator, adulterer, son of perdition and a slave to mammon? You must come to the end of yourself and present yourself as a living sacrifice to be acceptable to God.

Meditation: Are you a living sacrifice?

Dear Lord, Help me to be a living sacrifice; my life your glory will declare in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
Every service with an element of the works of the flesh is an abomination to God!
