THE POWER OF DEDICATION

 ANCHOR OF LIFE DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE  For THURSDAY, 19TH JANUARY, 2023.

Author: PASTOR DR. SAMUEL AYORINDE – General Overseer,

Anchor of Life & Redemption Ministry Int’l

Topic: THE POWER OF DEDICATION

MEMORISE: “ *If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” (2nd Timothy 2:2)* 

SCRIPTURE READING:  2 Timothy 2:19-21 

 *19.Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21.If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.* 

EXPOSITION:

“…Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s” (Matthew 22:2). So many people take dedication for granted and this is because they don’t understand the power behind it. When you dedicate an object, it becomes the possession and responsibility of who it is dedicated to. This is why you must dedicate your children or property to God alone. It could be very risky to wait several years before handing your children over to God. It doesn’t necessarily require a party; you could just take them to Church and let the Pastor dedicate them officially. If you have to, you can celebrate later. 

Some marriages remain fruitless because someone poured libation during the traditional wedding ceremony. This is why we advocate that the Church wedding must be done after the traditional, so any such strange spirit that may have been invited into the union, whether with or without the knowledge of the couple can be expelled. Some businesses have been possessed by one demon or the other because a ‘well-wisher’ invoked a contrary spirit at the opening ceremony. You must never allow such. There is nothing the devil is involved in that ever ends well. From now, dedicate everything that is yours to God. 

 *ACTION POINT* :

Mention and/or touch everything that is of value to you and dedicate it to the Most High God now. 

 *PRAYER POINT* : *Lord, I dedicate my life and the lives of all my family members unto Jesus Christ today in Jesus name.* 

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR –  *Exodus 11-13.*
