TEXT MATTHEW 6:31-33
THE OVERWHELMING POWER OF SACRIFICE
[31]Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
[32](For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
[33]But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
What is sacrifice?
Sacrifice is simply giving to God whatever He requires of you.
This includes your time, money, your talents, your energy and all your earthly possessions in other to further His work.
Sacrifice means to endure loss, give up pleasures, and renounce rights because of what we believe in.
Apostle Paul declared in Philippians 3:7-8,
"But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,"
Beloved, what prices have you paid for the gospel?
What scares have you received in defence of the master and His message, the gospel?
Beloved, begin to prepare to lay down your all this month for the master's use.
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)
