Topic: IS IT GOOD FOR GOD 2?: Unclean Sacrifice.
MEMORY VERSE:
Proverbs 14:12.
“12. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
BIBLE READING:
1 Samuel 15:8-9.
“8. And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9. But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
Yesterday, we saw one of the reasons why Cain’s offering was rejected and Abel’s offering was accepted. Today, we shall be studying Saul’s sacrifice.
God gave instruction to Saul to destroy the whole city of Amalek, both human and animal. But he selected those that seems good to him and destroyed every other things. Getting back home, he and his men decided to sacrifice those animals to the Lord.
Most times, we present proceed gotten from disobedience to God. We cheat others, deny others their wages, proceeds from stealing, and present them to God as offering. We rob people of their hard earning and give to God as tithe, offering, prophetic seeds knowing fully well that, God is against those proceeds. They are unclean sacrifices. Saul presented offerings which God has declared forbidden and this cost him the throne. Which offering are you presenting to God, are they clean or unclean offering? Are they presentable to God? Are they Good offerings in the sight of God?
Good Day And God Bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
