“Consecration And Condescension”
Thursday, November 7, 2024
Key Verse
“Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits” (Romans 12:16).Text —Romans 12:9-18
Message
Consecration is a complete surrender of ourselves to the lordship of Jesus Christ. In consecration, we surrender all to God – our talent, time and treasure. This motivated the hymn writer, Frances Ridley Harvergal to sing:
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated Lord to thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Ministers of God such as David Livingstone, and Mary Slessor left their medical career in England for mission work in Africa because of their consecration to Christ.
The consecrated can truly condescend to men of low estate. Mary Slessor interacted freely with the Calabar natives, eating with them their native foods. It is no wonder that she was able to stop the killing of twin babies there. She condescended in love to the level of the illiterate indigenous people and brought many to Christ. Christians are transformed to live the new life by the power of God’s love. Such love spurs us on to love others and offer ourselves up as living sacrifices to the Lord.
