Month: May 2024

“20. And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.”

“21. And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.”

God rewards Genuine Sacrifice even with generational blessings.

Every hindrance to the rewards of your sacrifice, by the mercy of God, they will be cleared away in Jesus name, Amen.

Our God is not evil neither is He forgetful to enjoy our sacrifices without repaying us. When a meal is served and the taste satisfies the eater, blessings are pronounced upon the chef. Likewise, when God is pleased with our sacrifice He pronounces blessings according. In the case of King Solomon, God asked him what he desired after thousands of burnt offerings, 1 Kings 3:3-13. In the case of Noah, He pronounced a generational blessing that is active till date, not to destroy the whole world with flood again, Genesis 8: 20-22. When Elijah made a sacrifice pleasing to God, He came and lighted it up himself to prove His supremacy, 1 Kings 18:1-end. Abraham’s sacrifice revealed what was about to happen in the next four hundred years, Genesis 15:8-17. The sacrifice that pleases the Lord comes with blessings.

In the new testament, the sacrifice of blood was long outdated, most sacrifices were presented in currencies, food and grain to individuals and ministers . That was why Jesus said in Luke 6:38,

“38. Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

Every giving to men, minister of God, the needy, the poor even the well to do person (as led by God) are all sacrificed to God and none of them will go on rewarded. Service to God is a sacrifice, stewardship, kingdom service, financing projects, your offering, tithe, gifts are all sacrificed to God. It may be received by men but the intent of your heart defines who your seeds belong to, and when it’s directed to God the reward is coming speedily. It may not come in currency or gifts, but God will never deny you the reward of a genuine sacrifice. There’s a reward for your commitment, sacrifice, and seeds, God will surely bring them to pass and it will be a generational blessing in Jesus name, Amen.

Good Day and God bless you.

“1. But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,”

“2. And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.”

“3. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?”

Every sacrifice should be seen as being presented to God not the man receiving it (he/she is just a medium).

Today, I pray for you that while presenting your sacrifice, may you not be distracted in Jesus Name, Amen.

There is a cry going across the world presently which is ‘the focus on giving by believers’. Many sees it as a form of making God’s servant rich and accumulate wealth. Many speaks against tithe, gift or sacrifices which has caused a lot of division, even between the so called Men of God. The focus shouldn’t be on the man of God but on God. Believers who knows what they are doing will never deter from following the scriptures to the latter. They will not be distracted by what people say about becoming wealthy. This is that fact, God doesn’t welcome sacrifice of blood of animal again but that doesn’t mean no more sacrifice. In old testament those who receive the burnt sacrifice are men of God and for every sacrifice brought to the temple, the priest and the Levites have their share from it. In this dispensation, every sacrifice is presented at the altar and those who work at the altar benefits from it because God is their portion. When you present your sacrifice to the Lord, let your focus be on God not the man serving at the altar because this is where the distraction comes in.

God doesn’t spend money neither does he eat anything presented to Him. It’s the portion of His servants, so when the focus of your sacrifice is on the servant of God, that’s where it end. Sacrifice is not to please men but to please God. Ananias and sapphire’s focus were on the Apostle and not God. Their sacrifice was to gain what people will say about them and not to please God, I pray for someone today, your sacrifices will not work against you in Jesus Name, Amen. When you go with your sacrifice, make God the focus, stop expecting the praise of the men or other members who saw your sacrifice. You are giving to God through His servant not giving to God’s servants. Keep this in mind, your sacrifice is to God through God’s servant and not directly to God’s servant. Make God the focus not the man at the altar.

Good Day and God bless you.

“3. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.”

“4. Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,”

“5. Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?”

Our sacrifice should move God, not by quantity but the quality.

May our sacrifice find its way to the presence of God in Jesus name, Amen.

The third thing to know about sacrifice is that, it should be our best not just any sacrifice. God is the best of all best, He is equal to none so, we can’t just give Him our left over or option B. Remember the widow with two coin, it wasn’t the quantity but the quality of her offering, Jesus said, “All She had”, Like 21:1-4. This speaks volumes about the heart. We might not drop all that we have physically, but the state of our heart can present us as completely dropping all (before God).So let it worth giving to God.

When Hannah was presenting her vow, she made a dangerous vow, “I will give him back to you” without having another child? That sacrifice prompted God to give her other children, 1st Samuel 2:20-21. When your sacrifice is the best of the moment, God receive and reward it, it will never be a waste. Don’t stop making sacrifices just always make it the best at the moment. God isn’t after quantity but quality sacrifice. The widow gave all she could afford and that was what she had on her, and Jesus said she gave the best. ₦1,000 or $1 dollar could be your sacrifice, you don’t need to run into debt to make your sacrifice. You don’t need to be dubious to please God, just present to Him a simple and quality sacrifice, and you will receive His blessing upon you. He’s more concern in quality than quantity.

Good Day and God bless you.

“9. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.”

“10. Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.”

“11. Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?”

“12. Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.”

Sacrifice becomes unavoidable when the Hand of God is revealed in our situations.

Reasons for genuine and willing sacrifice shall not seize in our lives within the remaining days of this month, in Jesus name, Amen.

Yesterday, we talked on the first thing to know about sacrifice and we said, it should be given without demand. Today, sacrifice to God is paramount when the Lord revealed Himself in our situation. We often make mistake by celebrating our achievements before giving God His sacrifice, that is if we even give Him the sacrifice at all. For every breakthrough in life God deserves the sacrifice of praise first, not the vessel he used. When the children of Israel crossed the red sea, they made sacrifice to God not Moses or the elders or the rod of Moses but to God the maker of way (even in the red sea.) They sang songs which Mariam led the procession. They told God “No one is like you in your act”, do we do the same?

When Solomon became the King of Israel, he made sacrifice of thanksgiving to God. He never deserved to be the king of Israel but it came to pass and he recognised it as the act of God so therefore, He gave God sacrifice of thousands of sheep. When God does the extra ordinary, He expects us to bring Him the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Remember, sacrifice of praise can be individual praising God with his/her body, resources or something we can let go for God. So, another thing to know about Sacrifice is that, every act of God towards us deserves our sacrifice which shows Him we are grateful for the victory.

Good Day and God bless you.

21 After consulting the people, the king appointed singers to walk ahead of the army, singing to the lord and praising him for his holy splendor. This is what they sang: “Give thanks to the lord; his faithful love endures forever!” 

If there’s anything God loves to receive from us without His request is giving Him our Sacrifices.

This week, the needed strength, help, favour and grace for the task ahead is made available in Jesus Name, Amen.

What we need to know about Sacrifice as believers, Number one is 

that, God appreciate Sacrifice without His request. When we decided to make sacrifice to God for no reason, He is always please to receive and release what we desire. Many atimes, we give God our sacrifice because of the victory we enjoyed, or some needs are met or for rescuing us from the hands of our enemies, it’s good to do this, but let there be times when you decided to give God sacrifice when the situation doesn’t warrantee it.

Jehosaphat was faced with the vast of armies of Moab, Amorite and Edom. They knew they can’t handle the situation. Then God spoke through His servant, prophet Isaiah, that, they should go against the host of the enemies the next morning. But in the midst of this confusion, Jehoshaphat chose song ministers to sing before the battle without any weapon of war with them. God never gave the instruction but they chose to make the sacrifice in the face of battle and God moved against their enemies. If there is anytime to sacrifice to God it’s when the situation isn’t palatable, when God’s voice is not even heard, give Him sacrifices of praise. When the enemy is standing in front of you, give God your sacrifice and see Him move on your behalf. Don’t wait for God to request for sacrifice before giving Him.

Good Day and God bless you.

“6. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;”

“7. Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;”

“8. Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.”

You aren’t gifted for self pleasure alone, your gifts should be a sacrifice to God. 

Beloved, I welcome you to a new week. As you appear in Zion today, your sacrifices shall attract God and open every door shut against you in Jesus name, Amen.

Today, we shall be discussing the last form of sacrifice we can offer to God. No man or woman is created empty, God endowed all with special gifts and talent in and out of the church. I am confident of this, you have something special that makes you different from others. This uniqueness is a form of sacrifice to God, either in your office, home, church, ministry and environment, your talent/gift is a form of sacrifice to God, how are you using it? 

Apostle Paul was speaking to the Corinthians about the use of their gifts as a sacrifice to God. He admonitions all to use their gift diligently to serve men in order to be a sacrifice to God. When you have the gifts, either spiritual or Physical, and God is not glorified through it, it’s not a sacrifice. When your talents benefits you and doesn’t benefit God, it isn’t a sacrifice. Even in your office, your position should be a sacrifice to God who placed you there. In your marriage see your position as a sacrifice to God and not to your spouse. Everything we do with our lives is a sacrifice but to who do you make your sacrifice, yourself or God? Sacrifice is not just in the church but everywhere we find ourselves. How will your sacrifice be today, will it be acceptable to God? Let your sacrifice be the one that attracts God into your life.

Good Day and God bless you.

” 1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

Your person is more important to God than your sacrifices.

One aspect that God focuses more on is our person, who you were before Him is more important than what we are giving Him. Remember Cain in Genesis 4:5, the scripture said, 

“5 but he did not accept Cain and his gift. This made Cain very angry, and he looked dejected.”

Before accepting your sacrifice your person most be special to God. That was why Apostle Paul said, present your body a living sacrifice which is our reasonable service. How God sees our body goes a long way to determine the acceptability of our sacrifices. When we use our body to please God then will our sacrifices be pleasing to God. God is after the container and the content not just the content. 

2 Corinthians 6:16, says, 

“16. … for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

God dwelling in us is the factor that determines the acceptability of our sacrifices. How do you use your body, to glorify God or the devil, to lead others to God or away from God? As couples, do you we use our body appropriately in our marriages? As singles, does the fear of God determine what we do with our body? Your person is what God focuses on before your sacrifices. Present your body as a living sacrifice daily before presenting your sacrifce.

Good Day and God bless you.

“9. Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:”

Releasing your substances to God is a form of sacrifice. We and our substance belongs to God.

Sacrifice in time past was made as burnt offerings, giving God from the resources He has blessed us with. Then, there was specifications for different types of offerings to God and even when to give them. Giving of these sacrifices hasn’t changed till date, it’s just the avenue of sacrifice that changed. Then, it was to kill an animal, sprinkle the blood then make a burnt offering and God is pleased. But now, our sacrifices are not to be killed but to be presented alive in the form of any substance. Our sacrifices are giving God from our resources according to our ability genuinely. It may be in form of cash, clothing, food, and whatever but the focus is giving to God not man. Our offering, seed of faith, tithe are still offerings to God depending on what’s going on in our heart. Remember, every sacrifice starts from the heart and it’s revealed through our giving. Our sacrifice is not according to what others do or say but what we purpose in our heart according to the 2 Corinthians 9:7, which says,

“7. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”

The focus of sacrificial giving is being cheerful with our givings not being forced.

King Solomon said, Honour the Lord with your substance and the first fruit of all your increase, meaning, from all your increase give to God to honour Him not to honour man or intimidate others, God doesn’t accept such sacrifice. Giving is the second way to make sacrifice to God. How have you been giving, to please God or please men?

Good Day and God bless you.

“4. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”

“5. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”

“When the sacrifice of Thanksgiving is missing in one’s life, other sacrifices are worthless”.

The first reason for any Sacrifice is to appreciate God’s benefit over one’s life. I can boldly say, the cheapest sacrifice one can give to God without a cost is Thanksgiving. Remember, God is not move by the size of our sacrifice but the genuineness of it. Sacrifice of Thanksgiving can be given by all without exception. As a matter of fact, this is the anchor of all sacrifices. The easiest way to give this to God is with our mouth and our body regardless of how these two looks like, as long as the sacrifice is from the depth of our heart, God will accept it. Singing, praising, dancing and happiness are the instrument for this sacrifice. It can be given anytime, any moment and at anywhere. No size is attached to it, just wholehearted thanksgiving.

David said, enter His gates with thanksgiving and into his court with praise, you may want to ask, where is the gate and His court? That is the presence of God. He wasn’t talking about going to the Zion, Church, or synagogue, He is talking about accessing God’s presence with our praises on the road, In our house, in the shop, anywhere we choose to, we can access His presence with our Thanksgiving and praises, this is the most important sacrifice we can give to God. With or without instrument, we are good to make the sacrifice, either with cash or cashless, God is ready to accept our sacrifice, only give Him a genuine sacrifice. Thanksgiving is the first and most important sacrifice that God demands from us. Regardless of what we are going through, He’s asking for this sacrifice.

Good Day and God bless you.

“3. And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.”

“4. And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.”

“5. In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.”

A Genuine and outstanding Sacrifice hastens God’s response than prayers.

May those close doors against your life respond to your genuine sacrifice in Jesus name, amen.

King Solomon became the king of Israel after his father, David, and he deemed it fit to do what no man had ever done before him by making an outstanding and genuine sacrifice to God. King Solomon made sacrifice of thousands of burnt offering all in the name of showing gratitude to God. David was a man after the Lord’s heart but he never did what Solomon did.

When your sacrifice is God-focus you experience the move of God around you. King Solomon’s sacrifice attracted a visit from God at night. God couldn’t hold the aroma of the sacrifice, He visited him and granted beyond his desires. You may want to ask, can I still make burnt sacrifices to God in this generation? No, those were the days of old but we can still offer sacrifices which will be acceptable to God. There are many forms of sacrifices we can give to God, we shall be digging them out as we study tomorrow. In those days, burnt sacrifice was the main avenue to please God but there are other avenues present in our dispensation. Above all, it’s not what you sacrifice nor who you give and what you give but the genuineness in your heart, your intention of the sacrifice is what determines the weight and aroma of your sacrifice. Let’s meet tomorrow as we dive into other forms of sacrifice.

Good Day and God bless you.
