TOPIC: WHAT GOD REQUIRED FROM US 3: Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 32, Day 3: Tuesday, 2 August, 2022. TOPIC: WHAT GOD REQUIRED FROM US 3:

“16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering.

17 The Sacrifices Of God  Are A Broken Spirit, A Broken And A Contrite Heart, These, O God, You Will Not Despise.”

The third request of God from us is a Broken Spirit; a heart that recognizes his/her mistake and repent of it. A heart that is sober when he/she realizes his/her wrong. This was the secret of King David during His reign as the king of Israel. He is always quick to repent of his shortcomings. He runs to God for mercy, repent and pleads for forgiveness and this is what God wants from every believer, A repented heart. New Living Translation put it this way

“The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.” 

Psalms 51:17

“A broken and a repentant heart” can’t be replaced with sacrifice or offerings. How broken are you? How fast are you to accept your shortcomings? When the word of God hits at you, how do you take it? Do you react at the Man of God or you received the corrections? When David was confronted with the killing of Uriah, he was quick to repent of his sins. This is what God seek from us, a heart that is fast to repent and fast to turn away from sin. No matter the weight of the sacrifice of an unrepentant heart, they can’t be felt by God until such repent of their wrong ways. Have you been offering an unaccepted sacrifices to God? Repent of your shortcomings and depart from them.

God Bless you and Good Morning.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
