FAITH CAPSULE: Give self to give back to God for His gift to all.
2 Samuel 24
Jesus is the gift of God for man’s salvation not to miss eternal life. Romans 6:23 buttressed, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” God gave us Jesus, besides celebrating the gift of God what is it that you are giving back to God? Celebrating the birth of Jesus is not enough to be counted as giving back to God. What have you been giving back or what are you giving back to God for giving Jesus for you and all? It is a right doing to be celebrating the birth of Jesus in all season but celebrating His birth in one season is evidence of doing what is right to do in a wrong way. What is the aftermath of your glamorous celebration of the birth of God’s gift in your life? Celebration seasonal is not a license to make eternal life. With the understanding of God’s gift, one will gain eternal life.
What is the aftermath of your glamorous celebration of the birth of God’s gift in your life? Celebration seasonal is not a license to make eternal life. With the understanding of God’s gift, one will gain eternal life.
What are the demands of understanding to gain eternal life?
Sacrifice before God in all season is the understanding that will provoke wisdom and knowledge for all man not to be a victim of wicked world.
A reasonable sacrifice is an acceptable sacrifice which counts for all man before God. Reasonable sacrifice is the evidence of faithfulness. With faithfulness one access one to God with expectation for manifestation. Reasonable sacrifice before God is costly and not cheap. King David testified the need to give costly sacrifice to God instead of accepting free materials for sacrifice from Araunah before God. Bible recorded, “Then the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God with that which costs me nothing.” So, David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.” (2 Samuel 24:24) Give God a reasonable sacrifice of gift which is costly.
The sacrifice before God, to gain His attention is costly before God which demands seeking God diligently. Deuteronomy 4:29 states it, “…seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” The word of God also requires from man to seek first the kingdom of God, His righteousness and all shall be added all things to those who seek diligently. (Matthew 6:33)
The sacrifice to seek God diligently demands giving self to God in all season, not in a season.
How do we give-self to seeking diligently?
Praising God, Thanksgiving, meditating His word and to believing in His word.
God gave His beloved Son to all, and He deserves the best of the gift from all.
Prayer for today: Ask for God’s hand upon self to give self back to God for His gift over your life.
