TOPIC: SACRIFICE: Examples Of Sacrifice: Thanksgiving (5)
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:
Psalms 100:4-5.
“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.”
Thinking Point:
“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.
