The Commissary of God

Anyone who has ever served in the military has heard of the Commissary. The Commissary is a store that sells food or supplies to the personal or workers in a military post. The ability to shop at the Commisary is a privilege for military personal because of it's convenience of being located on the military base. Also the price for groceries is considerately low compared to the popular food chains in the area. As you study the bible you will see that Christians are in the Army of the Lord. We are encouraged to endure hardness as a good soldier and to put on the whole Armor of God. As we serve God, he is obligated by His word to provide for us a Commissary in His Kingdom. Matthew 6:33 says, as we seek God and His Kingdom, everything we have need of will be given to us. God also promises us in Philippians 4:19 that he would supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory. The glory of God is everything he has and everything He is. God's glory is His Commissary. We enter into the Commissary of God through faith and with our seeds; financial seeds, emotional seeds, good deeds, faith filled confessions, and sharing the Love of God. 2 Corinthians 9 promises us that the God who gives us food, gives seed to the sower and multiplies the seeds that we sow. As believers, we must remember everything that we need is in the Commisary of God and as long as we have a seed God will meet our needs! Therefore, be sure to always sow into the House of God and into every good work of the Kingdom of God. I look forward to seeing you in God's Commissary!

Consecration

The Word Consecration means to set apart or dedicate for divine service. I believe the best prayer that a believer can pray is the prayer of Consecration. In Luke 22, Jesus prayed the prayer of Consecration in the Garden of Gethsemane when He said "Father not my will but yours be done". Jesus said that his flesh was weak but His spirit was willing. Contrary to popular opinion, Jesus didn't want to carry his cross and he definitely didn't want to be crucified. But in his unwillingness he prayed the prayer of Consecration ... Father not my will but yours be done The bible says that as a result of this prayer of Comsecration, God sent an angel to strengthen him. Now it seems like the angel should of delivered him from carrying his cross and the crucifixion; But on the contrary the angel just gave him the strength to pick up his cross and be crucified.

I have learned that one of the most powerful and effective prayers a believer can pray is the prayer of Comsecration. This prayer is the prayer that sets the believer apart to be divinely used by God. It sets all fleshly and carnal desires aside, and places our hearts in the hand of God. But you must be forewarned this prayer is not one to be played with or taken lightly. When the prayer of Consecration is in affect, you can expect three things:

1. strength (to continue)
2. your cross (burden
3. Crucifixion (dying to self)
God will grant you these three things to set you apart for His divine will, purpose and assignment for your life. So get ready, get serious and when you decide you want to go further in th things of God, pray the prayer of Consecration ... Father not my will, but yours be done!Amen
