He said consecration to God demands determination and total commitment to the service of God and humanity, saying people in service must first consecrate themselves to God before their service could be acceptable.
The LAWNA chairman said everything within and without the leaders and the led must be consecrated to God for their services to God and humanity to be acceptable.
He said the leaders and the followers in the Church and in the nation must consecrate their financial resources, time and strength towards the development of the nation and the Church.
According to him, all humans and non-humans are to be given to God in total consecration.
Pastor Awojide pointed out that anyone that would be on the Lord’s side would have to live a life of separation, dedicated to God, and separated for his service.
He told the ministers’ conference that consecration is the price they have to pay to receive God’s blessing, to wrought signs and miracles and be fulfilled in their ministry.
