TEXT 2 SAMUEL 23:15-17
THE OVERWHELMING POWER OF SACRIFICE
[15]And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!
[16]And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
[17]And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
Dearly beloved, nothing demonstrates love like what one is ready to sacrifice.
We can confidently say that the proof of love is in the sacrifice.
These men were loyal and faithful men who overheard the desire of their leader and decided to bring pleasure to him.
These men risked their lives to please a mortal man.
How much can you risk to please an everlasting God?
How far would you be ready to go in order to bring pleasure to the one who laid down His life for you?
God raised you so that you can make Him known to your generation, do not disappoint Him.
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 devotionals)
