Dedication – Part 4

If your parents never dedicated you at an altar of God, then more likely than not, you must have been dedicated to the devil.

Rev. Theodore Effiong

Let me ask you some pertinent questions:
• Were you ever dedicated?
• Who dedicated you?
• Where were you dedicated?
• What were you dedicated unto?

If your parents never dedicated you at an altar of God, then more likely than not, you must have been dedicated to the devil. This is especially true for those of African or Asian origin. It is a spiritual fact and a spiritual law that all dedications have effect for a minimum of three to four generations.

“Thou shall have no other gods BEFORE ME … For l the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.” Exodus 20:3 & 5

The issue here is ‘thou shall have no other gods before me”. Before Jesus came into your life, what other gods were you dedicated unto before Him. If you were never dedicated at the altar of God unto the Lord in the Bible way, it means the dedication your grandfather did is what is holding sway over your life in the realms of the spirit. Understand that the consequences of idolatrous dedications are so grievous before God that He considers that punishing the offender alone may not be enough reprisal for the sins of idolatry. God prescribed a judgment for four succeeding generation for every offender. Four generations is a long time. It is in effect 400 years.

Note the following scripture: “…thy seed shall be a stranger in the land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them FOUR HUNDRED YEARS; But in THE FOURTH GENERATION they shall come hither again…” Genesis 15:13&16

Four generations equal 400 years. If you were never officially dedicated unto God, can you beat your chest and say that in the past four hundred years, none of your ancestors dedicated themselves unto demonic entities? The Bible declares, “By faith Abel offered to God more excellent sacrifice than Cain … and by it he being dead yet speaketh.” Hebrews 11:4.

There are certain dedication sacrifices that are still speaking against us from certain altars.
Communal Influence Of Satanic Altars And Dedications

In Africa, Asia, South America and all over the world, demonic communal altars have been raised and constant sacrifices of dedication are being offered. If you’ve never been dedicated unto the Lord, these dedications will affect you in one way or another. If a demonic altar raised in Germany could so affect church leaders, it means you are not exempted.

Even if you say you were dedicated, where were you dedicated? Was it in a properly constituted altar of worship or a place that was a mixture of Spiritism, mysticism and Pentecostalism? For this purpose, it should be noted that sprinkling with water is not dedication.

Again, who dedicated you? Was it a man of God recognised by Heaven or celebrated by hell and rejected by Heaven?

If you were not properly and officially dedicated unto God, there is a big question mark hanging over your life. Probably, if you’re from Africa, you might recall your father pouring libation, invoking the spirits of the dead ancestors over you. If this is so, it means you have not been officially, lawfully and legally dedicated unto God. Life abhors a vacuum. There is something you were dedicated unto.

The question is also pertinent as to whether you know what tokens were used for your dedication. No Dedication Is Effective Without Some Tangible Tokens Which Are Offered as A Sacrifice. Without Them, The Dedication Is Null and Void.

If you want to register your company or business, you must do so lawfully and legally. Failure to meet the requirements will result in your company not being recognised by government. The government of Heaven doesn’t recognise all these dry dedications that come with nothing to the altar. That is why some children remain wayward after dedication and some cars handed over to men of God for dedication became involved in fire disasters and accidents.

In view of the foregoing, it is pertinent to ask: Is your car dedicated? Was your marriage dedicated? Or did you just undergo a ceremony? No wonder you are busy fighting like cat and dog. What of your business? Don’t you know that promotion comes from the Lord? Success and prosperity are in His right hand. Have you dedicated your houses? I have discovered that Christians love ceremony more than reality.

In the Bible days, houses, walls, temples, altars, babies, kings and even temple utensils were all dedicated. Everything that was considered precious was dedicated. Going to school is good, obtaining certificates is great, but without dedicating them, there may remain obsolete and useless.
