Exodus 29 unveils the cost of becoming a priest before God. It’s not a position—it’s a process. Consecration demands blood, washing, oil, and obedience. Every priest must pass through these gates before carrying divine fire.

The Sin Offering: Consecration Requires Atonement

“It is a sin offering.” – Exodus 29:14

The ceremony begins with repentance and sacrifice. A bull is slain, and its blood is applied to cleanse and sanctify. God ordains with blood before oil, showing that forgiveness precedes empowerment.

Sin defiles; blood dignifies. The altar is where guilt ends and destiny begins.

Washing with Water: Consecration Requires Cleansing

“And thou shalt wash them with water.” – Exodus 29:7

The priests are washed after the sacrifice. The outer washing mirrors the inner purification of the heart. Holiness must be visible, not hidden.

Blood removes guilt; water removes residue. One cleanses the record, the other prepares the vessel.
Consecration without washing leaves stains of yesterday on today’s ministry.

Anointing with Oil: Consecration Requires Empowering

“Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head.” – Exodus 29:7

Only after blood and water comes oil. Anointing without purification breeds mixture. The Spirit descends where sanctification has made space.

Many desire anointing but resist dying. Power flows through crucified vessels. Every oil requires a crushing first.

The Consequence of Priesthood: Fellowship & Divine Indwelling

“And I will dwell among the children of Israel.” – Exodus 29:45

God’s presence is the reward of consecration. The priest is not just used by God; he becomes a host for His dwelling. Fellowship replaces performance; habitation follows obedience.

The true mark of priesthood is not recognition but residence, God lives where He is honoured.

  • You cannot skip the altar and expect the anointing.
  • Purification precedes promotion.
  • Consecration is costly but it carries divine presence.
  • Ministry debt is paid through obedience and cleansing.
  • A “yes” without sanctification is noise; a consecrated “yes” carries fire.

Declarations

I yield to the full process of consecration.
My life is washed, purified, and ready for divine use.
Blood speaks for me, water renews me, and oil empowers me.
The Lord dwells among me, I am His habitation.
The price I pay becomes proof of the presence I carry.
