TOPIC: SACRIFICE: Examples Of Burnt Sacrifice (2)
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:
Genesis 4:3-5.
“3. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.”
“4. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:”
“5. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.”
Thinking point:
Our sacrifice to God must portrait the best from our resource.
This week, we shall enjoy the best of God, be His ambassador that troubles the kingdom of hell in Jesus Name, Amen.
The first sacrifice recorded in the Bible was made by the Cain And Abel, the first set of procreation on earth. They deem it fit to give God their first sacrifice according to their income. Remember, sacrifice is a form of worship to God by releasing from our resources. Cain brought to God from His resources which is farm product while Abel brought the Firstly flock to God. This is the difference, Cain choose randomly from his farm product not real the best or the first fruit of his product while Able chooe specifically the first and the best of his flock for the sacrifice and God chose to accept the best sacrifice. Here, what God made known to us is that, I deserve the best not just the available. Our sacrifice to God may be small or big, but need to be the best we can offer from what He has provided to us. Cain was wrath because his sacrifice was rejected and God reached out to him. If God opens our eyes to see many of our offerings if acceptable or not, we will be disappointed that most givings are wasted sacrifices.
Don’t just make your sacrifice but choose the best out of His provision, this shows your love and understanding of what sacrifice is all about. Yes, Abel died after giving the best sacrifice but His sacrifice attracted God’s voice and we are all sure of where he is, in the Bossom of God. It’s my prayers that we shall offer acceptable sacrifice in Jesus name, Amen.
