Daily Fountain Devotional For Saturday, MESSAGE
Today’s passage contains instructions concerning dedication of first fruits of man, animals, tithes to the Lord. A Christian should honour God by giving these to Him without reservation. The most important thing that is dedicated to God is the life that has surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It is interesting to note that nothing that a man devotes to theLord shall be sold or redeemed for they are holy unto the Lord(vs.29).The implication of this verse is that such a life should not be sold to another person, redeemed/taken back or given to any other thing. it becomes God’s property, declared as most holy unto the Lord, must be controlled by Him and used for His glory. I Corin.7:23 states that we are bought with a price, the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Apostle Paul asked, What!know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost and ye are not your own?”(1 Cor.6: 19).
The implication is that, a believer in Christ should live a sanctified life- totally separated from the world and given wholly to God. Failure to do this shows that the believer is ignorant of the fact that he/she belongs to the Lord. Are you living the sanctified life? Are you living as though you own yourself? “You are not your own” is God’s declaration over your life!
PRAYER: I am your own, Lord. Help me to live for You alone, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
