How to consecrate daily life?
In what ways can we apply the concept of consecration in our daily lives?

Consecration in Leviticus 8:13

“Then Moses presented Aaron’s sons, put tunics on them, wrapped sashes around them, and tied headbands on them, as the LORD had commanded Moses.”

• The garments marked Aaron’s sons as priests—visibly set apart for God’s service.

• Consecration was not abstract; it involved real clothes, real oil, real obedience.

• The same Lord who ordered their consecration calls every believer today to a set-apart life.


What Consecration Means for Us

• To be “set apart” for God’s exclusive use—heart, mind, body, and schedule.

• A once-for-all surrender that is practiced daily.

Romans 12:1: “Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.”

1 Peter 2:9: you are “a royal priesthood…to proclaim the virtues” of Christ.


Areas of Life to Set Apart

• Mind – Guard thoughts; Philippians 4:8.

• Speech – Words seasoned with grace; Ephesians 4:29.

• Body – Purity, health, self-control; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.

• Time – Sabbath rest, corporate worship, personal devotion.

• Finances – Firstfruits giving; Proverbs 3:9.

• Relationships – Forgiveness, holiness in dating and marriage; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18.

• Work & Study – Serve “as to the Lord” (Colossians 3:23).

• Possessions – Steward everything as the Lord’s property.


Practical Rhythms of Consecration

• Start each morning acknowledging Christ’s lordship; verbally offer the day to Him.

• Use Scripture as the “priestly garment” for the mind—memorize, meditate (John 17:17).

• Schedule regular times to evaluate habits; remove anything that dulls spiritual hunger (Hebrews 12:1).

• Invite accountability from mature believers.

• Fast occasionally to remind the body it serves the spirit.

• Keep visible reminders (a verse card on the desk, a worship playlist in the car) to “put on” holiness throughout the day (Ephesians 4:24).


Strength for a Consecrated Walk

2 Corinthians 7:1—cleanse yourself, “perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24—God Himself “will do it.” He supplies power as we yield.

• Grace fuels obedience; obedience deepens intimacy.


Living Clothed in Christ

Romans 13:14: “But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh.”

• Every time Aaron’s sons felt the weight of their priestly garments, they remembered their calling.

• Likewise, consciously “wear” Christ—His character, His priorities, His love—into every conversation and choice today.
