INSIGHT

Consecration Is Total Self-Yielding

  • Consecration means yielding oneself totally to God, not merely giving material possessions.
  • True consecration aligns feelings, thoughts, words, and deeds toward the lasting welfare of the soul.
ADVICE

Use Stepping Stones To Grow

  • Improve spiritually by taking incremental stepping stones rather than expecting instant submission.
  • Use successive small improvements to let your will be gradually swallowed up by the Father's will.

Ananias and Sapphira As A Caution
