Truth 4 the week
Topic : offering
Bible Verse Psalm:116:12 "What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me"
Message : Bible records alot of offerings done by mankind which was pleasing to God like offering of Abel, Noah, a widow lady etc; also offerings which did not please Him like that of Israelites , annaniah etc. How to present an offering which will please God. First our offering should be without blemish (Mal:1:7-9) which means God will not accept an offering with evil heart (Is:1:13), with enemity on brotherin (Mat:5:23,24), without love(ICor:13:3), without Thanksgiving (PS:116:17) second we should give the best to God just like the poor widow who offered the best when others offered out of abundance (Luk:21:4) Third we should remember that Jesus offered himself as a sacrifice for us (Heb:10:12) David says for all that God has done we cannot return anything  equal but lift the cup of salvation and call on his name. Let's offer our life as a living sacrifice and then present our offerings of wealth. God bless you.
Prayer : Dear Lord help us to always remember your sacrifice on cross and present our offerings acceptable in your sight. Continue to speak to us in Jesus name Amen
