TOPIC: SACRIFICE: What To Know About Sacrifice: Give Him When He does Mighty Things (10)
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:
Exodus 15:9-12.
“9. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.”
“10. Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.”
“11. Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?”
“12. Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.”
Thinking Point:
Sacrifice becomes unavoidable when the Hand of God is revealed in our situations.
Reasons for genuine and willing sacrifice shall not seize in our lives within the remaining days of this month, in Jesus name, Amen.
Yesterday, we talked on the first thing to know about sacrifice and we said, it should be given without demand. Today, sacrifice to God is paramount when the Lord revealed Himself in our situation. We often make mistake by celebrating our achievements before giving God His sacrifice, that is if we even give Him the sacrifice at all. For every breakthrough in life God deserves the sacrifice of praise first, not the vessel he used. When the children of Israel crossed the red sea, they made sacrifice to God not Moses or the elders or the rod of Moses but to God the maker of way (even in the red sea.) They sang songs which Mariam led the procession. They told God “No one is like you in your act”, do we do the same?
When Solomon became the King of Israel, he made sacrifice of thanksgiving to God. He never deserved to be the king of Israel but it came to pass and he recognised it as the act of God so therefore, He gave God sacrifice of thousands of sheep. When God does the extra ordinary, He expects us to bring Him the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Remember, sacrifice of praise can be individual praising God with his/her body, resources or something we can let go for God. So, another thing to know about Sacrifice is that, every act of God towards us deserves our sacrifice which shows Him we are grateful for the victory.
