Lord, Thou art our consecration

Consecration Christ as Our Burnt Offering

English1138

Lord, Thou art our consecration,
Thou the consecrated One;
Thou hast satisfied the Father—
Consecration thus was done.
When on earth Thou hadst no pleasure,
Save to do the Father’s will;
Now Thou livest here within us,
Consecration to fulfill.

Lord, we praise Thee for the picture:
Consecration’s ram we see,
Burnt for God’s full satisfaction,
Eaten and enjoyed to be.
Thou art now our ram, Lord Jesus,
Offered for the will of God;
By Thy consecration, faultless,
We may walk where Thou hast trod.

As we eat Thyself, Lord Jesus,
Consecrated we become;
By Thy wondrous life within us,
Thy obedience is our own.
No more need we strive and struggle,
Consecrated try to be;
Consecration dwells within us—
Now our part to eat of Thee.

Lord, we praise Thee, consecration
Is nought else but Thee as food:
As we eat Thee and enjoy Thee,
We are all made one with God;
One in will and one in purpose
We become by eating Thee:
As we take and eat Thyself, Lord,
Consecrated we will be.

Consecrated we become;
By Thy wondrous life within us,

CONSECRATED ONES HAVING AUTHORITY

---------------

We receive authority as soon as we pass through the gateway of consecration. In Exodus 32 God burned with anger against the children of Israel after they worshipped the golden calf. He wanted to consume them, and He said to Moses, “Your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves” (v. 7). However, Moses responded, saying, “Why does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? ” (v. 11). With his word Moses confirmed that this matter was God’s responsibility. Because Moses was an absolutely consecrated person, he properly turned over all responsibility related to this situation to God.

Few among us can say, “My prayers are for the Lord, not for myself. ” Once there was a brother who had a long-standing health problem related to his stomach, and he often prayed earnestly about his illness. One day I asked him, “When you pray for your illness, is it for yourself or for the Lord? ” Saints, have you consecrated yourselves? Are you for the Lord? Someone may say, “I have entrusted everything to the Lord. ” But merely entrusting things to the Lord is not enough; you need to hand them over to Him. To say that you have entrusted yourself to the Lord is like depositing money in the bank for safekeeping but that can still be withdrawn at any time. You may have entrusted everything to the Lord, but the authority to use the things remains in your hands. You should turn all authority over to the Lord; only in this way can the Lord truly bear our responsibilities.

Oh Lord Jesus, we want to be obedient just as you are. Help us Lord, to follow always the father’s will as our own.

“No more need we strive and struggle,
Consecrated try to be;
Consecration dwells within us—
Now our part to eat of Thee. ”
