II Chronicles 29:31
Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD.
This verse is right in front of my computer as a reminder of my dedication to the LORD and His service. Being Born Again is the beginning of a lifetime of service to the LORD. We want to serve the One whom we love through an abundance of giving and loving. The High Praise to GOD is the offering of our heart to Him, and then the offering of ourselves to His use.
As part of the consecration or dedication of ourselves to GOD, we are robed in the garment of righteousness. Righteousness means "right relationship". We are given the garment of the family of GOD. This is a garment of praise, which delivers us from the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3). It is not our righteousness which covers us, but His righteousness; we are dressed in Him.
When we are consecrated/dedicated to Him, He says to us to come near to Him. As we come near, His glory fills us and His presence envelopes us. He says to bring sacrifices to Him. I see this as Alms giving. We give to Him over and above our normal offering and tithe. Next He bids us to bring thank offerings to Him. I see this as tangible gifts like coats, hats, blankets, sweaters, socks and mittens for the homeless; food baskets for the hungry all given in love for GOD and His hurting people. He says to bring these into the House of the LORD, so that those who come will have what they need, from the Hand of the LORD, through His servants.
There is a song based on this verse: " We bring the sacrifice of praise into the House of the LORD." This is High praise when we consecrate ourself and to give in the Name of the LORD.
If you would like to give to the work of this ministry which serves the poor in Yavapai County, AZ. You can give on-line by returning to the Home Page. Last year, this small Church in Prescott Valley, AZ gave 1200 food baskets with a full turkey dinner with all the fixin's; blankets, coats, hats, shoes and other garments, to all who were in need. Bibles were handed out to all people and the opportunity was offered for dedication of their life to the LORD. Men, women, and children were given love, mercy and compassion in the Name of the LORD.
THE LORD BLESSES AND MULTIPLIES WHAT IS GIVEN SO THAT ALL ARE FED
