Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 40, Day 4: Wednesday, 4th October 2023. TOPIC: GOD HONOUR SACRIFICES: Examples of Sacrifices – Abraham (4).

“9. And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

10. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

Beloved of God, we have been discussing about the examples of Sacrifice and we mentioned two greatest examples of Sacrifice which are God and Jesus. The third greatest Sacrifice is Abraham, giving His only son, Isaac, as a Sacrifice without questioning God about it. Abraham experienced delay in child birth for twenty-five years even after God called Him. He had Ismail but God said that was human effort until God gave Him Isaac at the age of 100 years. Then, God came calling, Give me your Joy, the only thing that makes you a father, that Son you loved. Hunnnn, how far can we go with such sacrifice? Remember, verse 1, the scripture said,

“1. And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.”

Genesis 22:1.

Sacrifice is a test to know where our trust lays. Are we willing to give our Isaac as Sacrifice? Remember, Isaac was the only son visible to Him but He gave it to God without the knowledge of His mother. Sacrifice is releasing to God what seems best to you. Can you give yours out? Can we go that far? What is God requesting as Sacrifice from you? Release it and become great in life.

Good Day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today.
