Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 41, Day 3:Tuesday, 10th October, 2023. TOPIC: GOD HONOUR SACRIFICE: Pest to Sacrifice – Your Personality (10)

“3. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

5 BUT UNTO CAIN and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.”

Welcome to today teaching. Yesterday, we discussed about Cain’s sacrifice which was rejected and why it was rejected. Today, we are focusing on Cain Himself. Yes, Studying through the verse, we could see that God separated Cain from his Sacrifice. “BUT UNTO CAIN (1) and to his offering (2), He had not respect.”Cain wasn’t accepted to present an offering before God. Little did we know about this, checking through the next verse, made the likely reasons known. The scripture said, in

Genesis 4:5,7,

“5. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. (Anger).

7. If thou doest well, (do good thing) shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.”

(Personal paraphrase)

Cain was an angry man even before his sacrifice. He was a man who couldn’t control his anger and God told him, if you don’t work on it, it will Subdue you. Our Personality is so important to our sacrifices. Our anger, attitude, behaviour, the person we are is so important to God than our sacrifice. King David was selected by His Personality, His heart not his physical being, 1 Sam. 16:7. Who are you before presenting that sacrifice? Can you stand before God and be respected by Him? How often do you control your thought or are you controlled by your thought? The who you are can be a pest to your sacrifice.

Good Day and God bless you.

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