DAY 3 – SEMINAR – THE NECESSITY OF A LIFE OF SACRIFICE – Apostle Yves CASTANOU

Jesus Christ wants a generation of dedicated men and women who burn for His glory

A life without sacrifice is a life without power.

Where are the men and women who understand that to see the glory of God, one must fully offer themselves on the altar of sacrifice? The spiritual realm acknowledges only the law of sacrifice! What you are willing to give determines what you will receive!

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. (Romans 12:1)

This is not an option, it is a divine requirement! Those who walk this path witness the hand of God move in spectacular ways.

Are you ready to step into the dimension of sacrifice that draws down the fire of God?

Today’s church suffers from a lack of consecration

Too many believers want glory without price, victory without the battle, anointing without separation. But look to Scripture! Everyone God used mightily were men and women of sacrifice.

Noah, after the flood, built an altar even before he built a house.
Elijah called down fire from heaven only after offering a sacrifice in obedience to God.
Jesus Himself, the Lamb of God, paid the ultimate price by offering Himself for us.

A life of consecration is a life where everything belongs to God, where no area is hidden, where obedience becomes the foundation of every decision.

God is looking for men and women of prayer

I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land. (Ezekiel 22:30)

The Lord is looking for people who understand this reality and who are willing to forsake everything to live for Him.

God is still searching! Who will rise up? Who will say, “Lord, here I am”?

The call to sacrifice is the call to a life in the Spirit—a life where every personal desire is consumed by one fire: doing the will of the Father.

Sacrifice: the language of the spiritual realm

Sacrifice is the only language understood by the spiritual realm and by God Himself. Evil spirits know this. Agents of darkness understand this. No spiritual world functions without sacrifice!

What you are willing to give up determines the power you manifest.

But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word. (Acts 6:4)

No victorious Christian life is possible without continual prayer and dedicated service to the Word.

This is the secret of powerful men in church history. Those who were determined to belong to Christ—body, soul, and spirit—triggered movements of revival and transformation wherever they went.

God is calling you to a radical change

Today, God is calling you to a radical change. This is no time for lukewarmness or distraction.

If you want to see His power, you must die to yourself.
If you want to touch His glory, you must surrender everything to Him.

The altar of God demands your whole being.

Jesus shed His blood for you, He gave Himself completely, and now, He is waiting for you to respond to His sacrifice with your own consecration.

If you desire to go further with God, you must burn your nets, abandon your human securities, and place your entire life into His hands for His exclusive use.

Prayer: an absolute necessity

Men ought always to pray and not lose heart. (Luke 18:1)

A Christian who prays without ceasing is a constant threat to the kingdom of darkness.

Look at Daniel! Three times a day, he knelt before God—even when his life was at risk. And God protected him from the lions!

The men of biblical history and Christian history who shook their generation had one thing in common: the altar of prayer in their lives never went out. Prayer was not a ritual—it was breath, a lifestyle, a sacred habit.

Fasting: a weapon of power

Fasting is a powerful weapon that accompanies prayer.

Jesus, before beginning His ministry, fasted for 40 days.
Moses went up the mountain for 40 days without eating.

Those who agree to sacrifice their natural comfort experience supernatural strength.

Make the decision today to live a life of sacrifice

Change your schedule to make time for God.
Wake up at night to intercede!
Build a daily prayer schedule and stick to it!
Refuse unnecessary distractions!
Get rid of the compromises that keep you from fully obeying God!
Make choices that show heaven and darkness that you completely belong to God!

It is time to rebuild the altar of sacrifice in our lives. Where there is sacrifice, there is fire! Where there is fire, there is power! If you want God to fill you like never before, first empty yourself of anything that hinders Him from invading you. Get on your knees and tell Him: “Lord, here is my life. Take it all!”

Let us pray together

Father, today I decide to live fully for You. I reject lukewarmness, I reject half-hearted consecration. My body, my soul, and my spirit belong to You. Burn in me everything that is not of You! Make my life an altar of prayer, a fire that never goes out. In the mighty name of Jesus, amen!

🙏 If you have never given your life to Jesus, pray this prayer in faith:

Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I need You. I believe that You died for my sins and that You rose again. Today, I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Transform my life and lead me on Your path. Amen.
