This is the consecrator's vow.
I vow before God to make these verses
and their principles a act of reality in
my life as I serve my Lord in
my generation.
May I refer to them each day and
ask the Holy Spirit to make them a
practical reality in my life.
I'll sign my name to it and I'll
date it.
The following three verses were given by John
Song to the consecrators in his meetings who
pledged their life to the service of the
Lord Jesus Christ and the spread of the
gospel.
John Song would sign his name in their
Chinese Bibles with the following verses to live
by.
Number one, Psalm 5110.
Create me a clean heart, O God, and
renew a right spirit within me.
May this be a constant reminder to me
that I need always to pray for a
clean heart and a right spirit to keep
me from sin and temptation.
Number two, Romans 12 verses 1 and 2.
I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that ye present your bodies to
live in sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which
is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your mind
that you may prove what is that good
and acceptable and perfect will of God.
The call in verse one, present myself a
living sacrifice, should be a constant reminder of
my vow to serve the Lord all the
days of my life.
The second verse, an exhortation not to be
conformed to this world, warning me all the
time not to love the world, lest my
love for my Redeemer should grow cold or
lukewarm, and I should not conform to the
world, but live above it in my personal
life.
Number three, 1 Corinthians 15.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord for
as much as you know that your labor
is not in vain in the Lord.
This verse reminds me to remain steadfast in
my faith and diligent in my work.
Had King David lived by this principle, he
would have stayed fighting the Lord's battles rather
than lounging on his bed of ease and
sin.
I pray this consecrator's vow that the Lord
will grant me the grace to stay a
living sacrifice, unconformed to this world, steadfast and
unmovable, and never wearied in serving Him all
the days of the rest of my life
as I live in unto God and His
glory.
I pray these things in the strong name
of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
