PERFECT DEDICATION

TO GOD

Touching heaven through our

selfless dedication

 THEREFORE, I URGE YOU, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IN VIEW OF GOD’S MERCY, TO OFFER YOUR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY AND PLEASING TO GOD—THIS IS YOUR TRUE AND PROPER WORSHIP. 2 DO NOT CONFORM TO THE PATTERN OF THIS WORLD, BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TEST AND APPROVE WHAT GOD’S WILL IS—HIS GOOD, PLEASING AND PERFECT WILL.

ROMANS 12:1-2

Dedication is the act of consecrating an altar, temple, church, or other sacred building. It also refers to the inscription of books or other artifacts when these are specifically addressed or presented to a particular person…..

WHEN YOU DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO GOD:

#1 …Offer your bodies…

"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be

devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot

serve both God and money. Mathew 6:24

“TIME SEPARATES THE BEST

OF FRIENDS,

MARRIAGE, AND SO AS GOD AND EVIL…”

WHEN YOU DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO GOD:

#2 …as living sacrifices…

Rodman dives for a loose ball during a game in 1997.

Rodman is one of the NBA's all-time greatest rebounders, leading the league in that category

from 1992 ...

It's time to see what I can doTo test the limits and break through…

That fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all……

You, dear children you are from God and the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world….

1 John 4:4

Zerrubbabel, this is what the Lord says; Not by might nor by power , but by the spirit says the Lord Almighty

-Zechariah 4: 7

What if God will

deal with us the way we deal

with Him?

FRANCES R. HAVERGAL

For some very important business, rain will not keep me

home!True love really feels to keep an

appointment!

WHEN YOU DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO GOD:

#3 …holy and pleasing to God

REMEMBER:

ITS ABOUT OUR HOLINESS…ITS NOT ABOUT OUR PERFECTION…

ITS ABOUT THE HOLINESS OF GOD..THE PERFECTION OF GOD

2 Corinthians 5: 7

We live by faith , not by sight . We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord . We make it our goal to please Him , whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must appear before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive what is due Him for things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

WHEN YOU DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO GOD:

# 4 YOU ARE TRANSFORMING

Children these days seem to grow up bigger and faster yet remain children longer than ever before…

The knowledge , understanding and appreciation of God’s word are the means by which a Christian grow …

WHEN YOU DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO GOD:

# 5 YOU WILL BENEFIT FROM IT!

The benefit of being with Christ Family

Experience the true and the Greatest Love allExperience true FreedomExperience true and lasting Joy & PeaceExperience true RelationshipExperience Your True Potential & PurposeExperience Eternity with God

Benefit from these agencies is only TEMPORARY!...

GOD’S benefit is ETERNAL…..!

HEBREW 11:40

God has planned something BETTER for US…!

“DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO GOD HE WILL SURELY ACCOMPLISHED HIS

WORK IN YOU”!

Take my life and let it beby:Frances R. Havergal

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.Take my moments and my days,Let them flow in endless praise.Take my hands and let them move

At the impulse of your love.Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for youTake my voice and let me sing,

Always, only for my King.Take my lips and let them be

Filled with messages from you.

Take my silver and my gold,Not a mite would I withhold.Take my intellect and use

Every power for you…Take my will and make it Yours,

It shall be no longer mine.Take my heart, it is Your own,It shall be Your royal throne.Take my love, my Lord, I pourAt Thy feet its treasure store.

Take myself and I will beEver, only, all for YOU.

dedicating our life?
