” 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.

“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.”

Every Sacrifice has it’s uniqueness so does there effective result from God.

May we all win the heart of God with our sacrifices this week in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

Do you know that God really changed his mind from placing curse on the earth which simply means, It’s neutralizes the initial curse placed in Eden? Yes, Noah changed this by his sacrifice. After the flood, the first sacrifice was done by Noah and what made it unique was presenting clean sacrifice which included, clean beast and clean fowl. He never used the defected beast nor premature fowls as sacrifice and this got the attention of God, the aroma changed God’s mind not the heart of man. In order word, the heart of men still remain wicked but he wouldn’t judge them with destruction nor curse the earth any longer, which implies, the world begins afresh (without a curse)

It’s not about making sacrifices but it’s uniqueness. The quality and the genuineness of the sacrifice is what matters to God. Every sacrifice must be special and different from one another in order to attract God’s attention. Noah presented clean sacrifice and God gladly accepted it. What are you sacrificing to God, profit made from ungodly source? A product of cheat, deceit, murderer, false witness or lies? They attract the anger of God not His blessings. It’s better not to present a sacrifice than to present an unpleasant sacrifice. What are you presenting as your sacrifce and how clean are they?

Good Day and God bless you.

“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.”

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.

Good Day and God bless you.

“17. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.”

If there’s anything God wants from us, it’s our sacrifice day in and day out.

Welcome to a new week and welcome to this new series. We shall be digging through the Bible to see What Sacrifice is, categories of sacrifice and how to offer them to God. Today, our focus is What is Sacrifice?

Sacrifice Is often referred to as ‘offering something valuables’ such as a valued animal or a portion of one’s possessions, to God as an act of worship, repentance, or thanksgiving. Sacrifices were a significant part of religious rituals in the Old Testament, symbolizing obedience and devotion to God. They were also seen as a means of atonement for sin, until Jesus’ was sacrificed on the cross, which we believers understand as the greatest and an end for any forms of blood sacrifice either for sins or thanksgiving. Sacrifice in the Bible can also extend to personal acts of selflessness and service to others, reflecting Christ’s example of sacrificial love.

Let me round it up this way, sacrifice entails giving, releasing, something willingly without persuasion. First of all, God is the first reasons for sacrifice. The first person to sacrifice to is God, our creator, the beginning and finisher of our faith, so therefore, every human is assigned to give sacrifice to God. Sacrifice is a symbol of Love, Obedient and appreciation to God first before anyone else. How sacrificial are you? Join me tomorrow as we move further in our study.

Good Day and God bless you.

9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!” 

10 And when the officer’s friends returned to his house, they found the slave completely healed. 

God can’t deny your taste for Miracle with a Good reputation.

Prayers, Fasting, Faith and Action are keys to the heart of God. These keys moves God to act on our behalf regardless of how big our requests may seems. These keys have been tested and trusted to be working effectively for many years in our walk with God. From another angle, we’ve seen from our study this week that, our reputation also have a key role to play in receiving from God. Accessing and receiving from God involves good reputation and love for others. The Roman Officer’s reputation spoke for him from the Jewish Elders to Jesus our Lord. What others see, know and say about us can determine the response of God to the cry of our hearts. 

Today, I like to round up this series by saying, if prayers, fasting, faith and action has not be working, check out your reputation with men and God. If those prayer points are still the same, check your behaviour, is God rewarding your attitude to men rather than your request? Is your behaviour not working against your walk with God? Are your ways inline with the instructions of God? When our reputation is against the principles of God, God considers the principles not our prayers. Your answers are on the way if you will be truthful to yourself by changing your attitude to God and how you relate with human. All I know is this, Jeremiah said in Jeremiah 32:17,

17 “O Sovereign lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR YOU!

Your case can’t be too hard for God to handle, just handle your attitude and God will attend to your cry soonest.

Good Day and God bless you.

7 I am not even worthy to come and meet you. JUST SAY THE WORD FROM WHERE YOU ARE, AND MY SERVANT WILL BE HEALED.

8 I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.”

Words Are Powerful Because It Has The Ability To Create Or Destroy Anything In The World.

A beautiful Friday for us all, may all our efforts for the week be crown with the blessings of God in Jesus name, Amen. From our lesson today I will like to teach on the “Significant Of The Word”. The Roman officer with his office understood this better in his days and that was why he imployed it. He told Jesus, “… and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.””. May I tell you this morning that, as Christians, we are under the authority of God and we also have authority over situations, pain, principalities and powers according to Luke 10:19, John 1:12. We have been endowed with powers to rebuke the devil. We are empowered to use our words to create commotion in the camp of the enemy and create peace around our lives but what we lack is the knowledge the Roman Officer had. Come to think of it, if Jesus had gone to his House, He will also speak a word to the servant for his healing, it’s not really the presence of Jesus that will perfect the healing but the word that Jesus will speak. We don’t need Jesus (physically) to come into our situation, we need His word either Logo or Rhema. What the word of God says is what we need not calling or running to pastors for healing and breakthroughs. 

When the heaven and earth was created it was through the same word, by God. When you decided to get married, it was through the same word from your mouth that, “I want to get married”, “I want to study more”, “I’m going to the office”, “I need more income” whatever we say and work towards, even when it seems not to be real, we make it real. This is the power of the word in our mouth, we use it everyday in our activities but we fail to apply it to spiritual things. The same word is what we need to heal and encourage that fellow going through hard times, seeking for healing and breakthrough. We just need to speak the word, we have been endowed to do this, the power is within. 

Lastly, the same word is what we use to destroy others when we use it negatively, why not use positive words for others instead of using it negatively? There is power in the word we speak likewise in the mouth of that servant of God over your life, understanding this will make us enjoy the profit there about according to Proverbs 18:21, which says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Our mouth has been empowered to decree and have it.

Good Day and God bless you.

6 So Jesus went with them. But just before they arrived at the house, the officer sent some friends to say, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself by coming to my home, for I am not worthy of such an honor.

7 I am not even worthy to come and meet you. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed.

The level of our “Knowledge about Faith” is what determines the accuracy and speed of our miracle/result.

Our walk with God will yield positive result in all ramifications of our life in Jesus name, Amen.

Today, we are seeing what I call, “The Faith Knowledge” of the Roman officer, yes, it’s more effective. This knowledge puts you above every other contemporary striving for the same thing you are after. This faith’ knowledge was exemplified many times in the Bible during the time of Jesus. The woman with the issue of blood “…, For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.” Matthew 9:21.

Prior to this time, no one has touch the garment of Jesus for healing but her Faith Knowledge spur this up and she received her Mircale. 

The Roman emperor had the Faith Knowledge of “the Word” of a man under authority. He told Jesus, “With My Knowledge Sir, You Don’t Need To Come Around, Just Say The Word And My Servant Will Be Heal”. As Christians, this is the level we need to operate in, knowing what our faith can produce because of the available presence of God. Not until the minister touches me before I’m healed. I don’t need to see the signs before I receiving my healing. What the word of God said may not be factual but Faith knowledge is seeing it real around our life before acting. We need to start operating in the level of Faith Knowledge like the Roman officer, the woman with the issue of blood, like the three Hebrew boys did in the face of fiery furnace. Jesus said, “if we have faith small as mustered seed we can move mountains. It’s time to upgrade our faith level. If it doesn’t fail one it can’t fail other.

Good Day and God bless you.
