TOPIC: SACRIFICE: What To Know About Sacrifice: You Must Give Your Best. (11)
MEMORY VERSE:
Hebrews 13:15-16.
“15. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.”
“16. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”
BIBLE READING:
John 12:3-5.
“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?”
Thinking Point:
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.
