Welcome to July!
Our theme for July is Reaping the Fruits of Consecration (Colossians 1:10).
Colossians 1:10 – “that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;”
Having been sanctified (purified from sin) by the power of the Holy Spirit, it is necessary to submit our whole spirit, soul, and body to do the will of the Father in obedience to the principles of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Consecration simply means dedicating our whole life – time, talents, treasures – to fully pleasing God.
The result of consecration is service. And when we consecrate our lives to God’s service, God causes us to bear fruits.
This month of July, we believe that as we spend more time with the Word, God will enable us to consecrate our lives to his service in Jesus name.
