TOPIC : THE POWER OF SACRIFICE
TEXT 2 KINGS 3 : 25-27
[25]And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.
[26]And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
[27]Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
God had promised Israel victory over Moab.
Israel was pounding Moab and had beaten down all the cities.
The king took 700 of his best men to breakthrough the weakest end but could not.
When the king of Moab discovered that he had been overwhelmed, he took his son, the one who would succeed him and sacrificed him upon the wall.
When God saw this dimension of sacrifice, God withdrew His support for His stingy and often ungrateful people.
This is explains the reason some believers have lost some life threatening battles to the children of darkness.
Beloved, in what way are you bleeding for the gospel?
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)
