TOPIC: SACRIFICE: Examples Of Burnt Sacrifice (4)
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:
1 Kings 3:3-5.
“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.”
Thinking Point:
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.
