TOPIC : THE POWER OF SACRIFICE
TEXT 2 SAMUEL 24:25.
[24]And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
[25]And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
Sacrifice is more giving up pleasure to get treasure.
Sacrifice helps us avoid pressure that would have come if a sacrifice is not offered.
Every man/woman that will make a mark on this earth must understand the power of sacrifice.
Until you forego something precious, you are not eligible for the top.
It is the sacrifice you make today that will determine where you will be tomorrow.
King David understood the power of sacrifice therefore he said to Araunah, I will pay for it.
He said that he could not offer what will cost him nothing to his God.
My prayer is that you will move into the dimension of sacrifice.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
