STANDING IN THE POSITION OF CONSECRATION
Once we consecrate ourselves, we are in the position of consecration. We must see that this position is crucial. Once we stand in such a position, we should not be afraid of anything. The devil is afraid of our consecration, and he is happy as long as we do not stand in the position of consecration. We need to say to the Lord, “You are the Lord; You should gain everything that I have. ” This word will not only touch God’s heart but also scare the devil away.
A sister who was serving as a missionary was traveling on a boat that encountered some pirates on the sea. She prayed and received a word: “I belong to Jesus. ” When the pirates came to her, she courageously said, “I belong to Jesus. You cannot harm me unless Jesus wants you to harm me. ” This word scared them, and they were fearful of harming her. One of the pirates, however, noticed that she was wearing a watch, and he demanded that she give him the watch. She spoke to the pirate in a loud voice, saying, “I cannot give my watch to you. I cannot give my watch to a pirate. If you want it, you will have to use force to take it because I will not give it to you. ” The pirate then forcefully took the watch. When the leader of the pirates heard about this incident, he returned the watch to her. At this point she spoke to the leader, saying, “Look at the dirty deck. Are you not concerned about sickness? You should clean the deck. ” Because of her speaking, the pirates cleaned the deck. She did not suffer any harm, and she was able to grasp the opportunity to preach the gospel to them.
To stand in the place of consecration means to let the Lord be the Lord, allowing Him to control everything. After consecrating your child to the Lord, you should ask the child, “Whose child are you? ” Surely he will say, “You are my father, and I am your child. ” Then you have to say, “Formerly, you belonged to me, but you are no longer mine. ” The child might say, “If I no longer belong to you, I still belong to my mother. ” You have to tell him, “You no longer belong to your mother either. We have consecrated you to the Lord; now you belong to Him. ” Then when your child makes a mistake, you will have the ground to show him the Lord’s interest in the matter, which will give the Lord the opportunity to work in your child’s situation. Many people rise up in the morning and pray to the Lord, saying, “Today I consecrate everything to You. ” But when their children make a mistake, they quickly act as if their children belong to them, saying, “We are your parents. We told you not to do bad things. Since you did not listen to us, we are going to punish you. ” Parents who act in this way chase the Lord away and give Him no opportunity to be the Lord.

We have been bought with a price. The highest price of a man’s life. This was not an ordinary man but the very incarnate God. Now we belong to Jesus our God. This is a blessed thought. When I sing this I have such peace and rest.
