Set Apart For God
Hebrews 3:1
I am consecrated and set apart for God.
I am a partaker of the heavenly calling.
I thoughtfully and attentively consider, contemplate Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of my profession or confession. I have confessed Him as mine.
You and I are set apart for God. He has a purpose for each of us. We are to partake of that purpose or calling. What I find interesting here in this verse is that as we are considering that calling, we are to pay attention to Jesus, Who is the Apostle (sent One) and High Priest (One Who carries the sacrifice or offering of our confession into the Father).
That word “profession” here in this passage of scripture is the word homologia which means covenant; acknowledge; speak the same as; agreement; speak agreeable to; consent to; to say the same thing; give thanks.
As we speak in agreement with God (the Word, He is the Word.), He, the Word, sets us apart unto Himself and causes us to partake of our calling. It is He Who does it and not we ourselves. All we do is agree with Him. We agree with His Word. There is power in agreement. When we agree with God, we are agreeing with power Himself. When we say the same thing as He says, we are releasing His ability in our lives. We are releasing His Kingdom into our lives. We are releasing His power on our behalf.
Giving thanks is one of the highest forms of agreement. When we thank someone for something, we are accepting what they have given to us. When we give thanks to God, we are agreeing with Him and telling Him that we acknowledge what He has given to us. Let me say it again: There is power in agreement. But even more dynamic is this sentence: There is unlimited power in agreement with God. It’s time to release His power in our lives.
