Sacrifice of Thanksgiving

 



Text: Psalm 116:17-18

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.  I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people

Friends, we need to offer our thanksgiving as a sacrifice that brings about denial. Therefore, with sacrificial thanks we prevail by grace to access the miraculous. Yes, it is a time to give up some things for the sake of our thanksgiving for us to pay this vow.  We should surrender our possessions as an offering. There are some valuables that we need to lay down at the altar of sacrifice. Our thanks offering and worship should be costly as we lay it at the feet of Jesus. Psalm 50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God. Hence, we need to properly prepare as we put in effort and time to our sacrifice. So, God will help us to show forth our thanks and not an optional thanksgiving. But, let’s work at being thankful which might not be very conducive as human but it will yield results.

Amazingly, to be genuinely thankful, it demands a sacrifice that will cost us work and personality. Hence, this is what led to Abraham’s obedience to sacrifice His only son Isaac at the altar. So, we should not wait for convenient to thank God even when faced with shutdown.  Phi.4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  I encourage us to live thankful in sacrifice even with our time that brings about self-denial. And I pray that we shall choose thankful, joyful, cheerful and it will end peaceful in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, help us to begin with endurance to obedience as to prepare well to package an acceptable offering of thanksgiving in Jesus name.

 ACTION QUOTE: Remember, to take away the fears and the anxiety to live thankful.
