 Offer right sacrifices


It is time we offer right sacrifices to God. God is not pleased with how we treat him. We have placed him second; we have removed him from our main agendas and hardly make time to entertain him. God does not delight in the way we have been treating him. He never slacks concerning his promises; never fails to protect us and uphold us with his mighty strong arms. It is He who has helped us on our toughest journeys so we can truly shine like the gems we are today. God deserves better! For all he has done, we need to live our lives devoted to thanksgiving, prayer, time in the word (scriptures) as well as time witnessing to others about his unwavering goodness.

Please consider:

· When was the last time you used your gifting, talents, and abilities to glorify him? We have gotten so ‘accustomed’ to the praise of men that we have forgotten the source.

· When was the last time you took a Sabbatical from your daily rigours to spend quality time talking with him? We are busy scheduling our next appointment or landing our next meeting.

· When was the last time you were a true witness to someone that caused them to come to the end of themselves in reflection which leads to repentance? We have forgotten our testimonies and the many victories won; closed the chapter and have forgotten who we are.

God is not impressed with who we are, our accomplishments, our status, our surnames, or nationalities. God is impressed by the sacrifices we have made and are willing to make to ensure that his kingdom on earth is built. God is expecting much more from us. Come up higher, come up higher, and come up higher.

Psalm 51: 17 says “the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” This is our reminder that God desires fervency, consistency, penitence, and truth in the inmost place. Make the resolve to serve God better. 

Think on these things....

    God is #NOT impressed by who we are (our accomplishments) he is impressed by the #SACRIFICES we #HAVE and are #WILLING to make.

    I am just looking at how I (we) could be #WASTING time.

    This is thought provoking, thank you for sharing. May God continue to inspire your writings! Many blessings!

    God really does require a relationship. It takes a daily relationship to grow with God.

Suffering is not ALL bad

You WILL benefit from your suffering Many of us do not want to be associated with suffering of any kind. When we hear the word, we immediately think of undergoing pain and hardship that will potentially destroy us. However, suffering is NOT all bad, and in many cases, God uses suffering to bring us up to his standard. Suffering can be self-induced. There are times we suffer and it is not the fault of others but ours; especially when we disobey God. Additionally, there is externally induced suffering that we may face simply because of things we cannot exactly control. People may hate you so they make your life difficult, by hurling insults and creating situations to bring us harm. FIVE reasons we should be more appreciative of suffering : - Suffering produces perseverance : Suffering in itself is not beneficial. Some who only dwell on their suffering never gain its benefits or achieve a higher perspective. But those who focus on what God can do through suffering...

Formula for blessing

-

Blessing   We often think about being blessed in our limited scope to refer only to an increase in material gain. Whilst this is sometimes a sign that one is indeed blessed, this is only a fragment of what the word means; this word is much bigger than that and carries greater weight. To be blessed is to have God's favour upon your life- which transcends to every aspect of your life and everything that concerns your being. To be blessed simply means submitting your life to God's leading- do what he requires of you, live the way he commands and have genuine love in your heart for others (neighbour).   Types of blessings that we need - Spiritual blessings : We need to ensure that God has indeed selected us and set us apart for his grand plan; access to his grace and mercies for our daily walk with him. Eph. 1:3-4 (NIV) says “p raise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he ch...

Faith gets God's Attention

                          Faith impresses God                                                     Many of us speak of having faith but we do not have it. Some of us have gone as far as mentioning that we have 'crazy' faith or big faith, but yet our actions are far from it. Most of the time what we demonstrate is nothing but lip service. True faith gets God’s attention, not mere lip service or wishful thinking . The Hebrew writer defined faith as “ the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen  (Heb.11:1)” .   Faith, therefore, means abandoning all trust in our resources, abilities, and reasoning-the things we see. It means relying instead on things we cannot see-God's promises, provisions, and his concern for us. An inner attitude alone does not define faith, thoug...
