A message and a prayer.
To dedicate; To solemnly appropriate any person or purpose; give totally or mainly to.
Ministers of the gospel dedicate themselves, their time, and their studies to the service of Christ.
Consecrated; devotee; and appropriate.
Have you dedicated yourself to God?
Have you dedicated yourself to the Principles, Oracles and Word, that God is the only God, His statutes are real and true, and His Son is called Jesus Christ? Are you dedicated to him?
I will exalt you, O LORD, because you have exalted me, and have not made my enemies rejoice over me.
O LORD my God, I cried out to you, and you healed me. ”
He exalts the one who rides on the heavens by his name Jah.
The Lord is great and worthy of praise.
He heals me in my time of illness, resurrects me in time of weakness, comforts me in time of loss, and strengthens me in time of danger.
You love me, no matter if I am black or white, poor or rich, in appearance or homey. No matter the weather, I’m from the north, south, east or west, you still love me.
We rejoice in your strength and your enemies’ fear of you and your children. We applaud your Glory and we are at the punch of your Greatness and Power.
Because You took the dust where we come from, and raised us up, dressed us in princely robes, put a ring on our finger, put shoes on our feet, and called us your Sons, co-heirs of Your Kingdom with Your only begotten Son, Jesus.
So what is it that we should offer of our body as a living sacrifice, which is our reasonable service to you? What, then, is it that we should dedicate our lives to you and to the purpose of seeking lost souls for your kingdom?
When I am afraid, you are there, when I ask for Faith, you give me more than enough, when I am hungry, do you not give me bread, and when I am thirsty, there is no spring that springs up for my comfort?
When this world says; “Woe to us, troubled people!”
Those of us who are dedicated to you have abundance of hope, because faith without works is dead, being alone.
Our hope separates us from the rest of humanity.
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing the moment in prayer; we are your children. (Ref. Rom 12:12.)
“Hope is an essential and fundamental element of the Christian life, so essential indeed that, like faith and love, it can itself designate the essence of Christianity. (1Pe_3: 15; Heb_10: 23). (Easton ).
We have given ourselves totally and mainly to You.
But, Lord, we need more faith to accomplish the things that please You.
Sometimes we are weak in body, you our spirit is willing. We fail You often, our Lord, it is not our intention. Sometimes we go astray Lord, seeking first the help of man, instead of turning to prayer. We are sorry for this.
“O LORD, You raised my soul out of Sheol; You kept me alive, so that I would not descend into the pit.
Sing to the LORD, O his saints, and praise the memory of his holiness. ”
Our dedication to the Lord is not in vain, because we worship a God, who is not only capable of promising, but is also very capable of fulfilling.
We worship a God who knows what we need, even before we ask for it.
We worship a God who punishes us, when we become rebellious and self-indulgent.
We worship a God who has made compromises for our weaknesses and failures. We give thanks for your holiness, your mercy and your understanding.
Do we invoke the name, Lord, I Am, Yahweh, El and Cristo? Yes, because all are one and one is in all.
“Because his anger lasts only a moment; life is in his favor: crying may last one night, but joy comes in the morning.
And in my prosperity I said, I will never be moved.
LORD, with your favor you have strengthened my mountain; you hid your face, and I was troubled. ”
Don’t be mad at me, oh Lord, because I’m still learning your ways, and sometimes I have trouble understanding.
Send me, Your Holy Spirit, to teach me, guide me and instruct me in Your Holiness.
I have cried all night for Your forgiveness and comfort.
I stood on the roof of the house, shouting your praises.
I have sung songs and spiritual songs in your name, because you are holy and worthy. Is my dedication to you not complete, am I, or am I still missing something to please you? Tell me, Lord, and I will regret it. Because as I live, I live for you.
“To you I cried, O LORD, and to the LORD I pleaded.
What good is there in my blood, when I go down to the well? Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your truth?
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me: LORD, be my helper. ”
Because if and when I die, who will glorify your name after me?
Will one like me come out and take up the cross that was left behind?
Will there be others who praise you when I can’t?
Because inside the Tomb, I don’t know anything, I don’t say anything and I don’t praise anyone. My dedication to you has not ended in the grave, because we will live again, with the promises of Your Son and the Hope that lies within me. I pray to be worthy to sing You a song in Heaven, to play You a string instrument for Your pleasure. Dance a dance with joy and comfort.
You have turned my lament into a dance for me; you have taken off my sackcloth and girded me with joy;
For my glory to sing praises to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will praise you forever.
O LORD my God, I am dedicated to you. Ars.
