THE WAY OF DEDICATION

SCRIPTURE: This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.  – Isaiah 43:21

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: We have no license to survive outside of God.

Dedication to God begins with an understanding of one’s purpose for existence. When the reason for your existence is understood, it becomes very easy to be dedicated. 

So, why then are we here on earth? 

1. Man was created to share the character and likeness of God and to function as the extension of God's authority over the earth.

2. Man was created to give God pleasure through worship and communion (Isaiah 43:21). 

Note:

1. We did not bring ourselves into the world so we cannot live as we want. 

2.  A future without God is a future without good both in this world and in the hereafter.

3. To progress without God is to hurry into irreversible destruction. We have no license to survive outside of God. 

What then is the Way of Dedication?

Dedication is living to give God pleasure and satisfaction in all areas of life. It is living to hate what God hates and love what He loves.

Dedication is living a life that is considerate for the feelings of God. A dedicated person will ask questions like, “Is God okay with what I am about to do?”

It is living to manifest the character and conduct of the Kingdom.

Remember this: We have no license to survive outside of God.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Ask God for the grace to remain dedicated to Him no matter the cost.

2. Ensure that God always has the final say in your life.

PRAYER: Lord, I dedicate my life and everything that concerns me to You in Jesus' Name.
