In this brief sermon, the speaker urges listeners to evaluate their spiritual consecration by examining whether they are still indulging in activities that are permissible to others but may hinder their walk with God. He shares a personal testimony of giving up casual drinking as an example of how true consecration often involves refusing things that are not sinful but are nonetheless limiting. The core message is a challenge: if you are still doing everything you want, check your consecration, because God will ask you to forgo what is merely permissible, and that request comes with a price.

Chapters

If you are doing everything that you want to do right now, check your consecration. There are some things as a pastor that I can't do that I see other people enjoying. I used to indulge in casual drinks, but then I realized that a part of my consecration required me to abstain from things that might be okay to others. Now, that— to balance it, consecration would never be God telling you to avoid things that are already sin. So when you are in this journey with God, He's gonna ask you not to do things that are permissible. That's when you realize you're getting consecrated. This is a, a challenge to somebody: if you are doing everything that you want to do right now, check your consecration. Consecration will happen when God tells you not to do the very thing that is okay to do. God is gonna ask some things from you, and it will come with a price.
