THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE OFFERING IS MY LIFE

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:1 KJV.
Main Text:

There’s nothing better than life and that’s your best gift from God. What you do on the earth is a direct pointer to who you represent, and to your assignment at every given point in time. Nothing makes sense outside life. Except you are a living soul, you’ve got nothing to offer God or humanity, does He eat our sumptuous food? No! Is He going to spend that clean money let alone the stolen money you are giving as offering? Never! Therefore, if you must offer your best unto God especially as sacrifice, let it be YOU. If your life is not absolutely surrendered to God, your tithes no matter how big, offering, service and time with all other substances submitted at his feet will make no sense neither will you have anything tangible as results. God wants your best and that’s why He’s requesting your total obedience to His Prevailing Word in your Christian journey.

God’s work, however, suffers a lot today because many worshippers do not give themselves first to God. You are of God and you belong to God. There’s nothing about your destiny that is a function of your effort or ability, who are you in the frame work of grace? You are saved by His grace, it’s not of your own will so that you can boast. Your life and time are in His hands and until you submit all to Him in absolute worship and sacrifice, you won’t qualify for His best on the earth. This is a call unto renewal of life. Let your body, soul and spirit be first offered unto God as a reasonable and acceptable sacrifice.

Do you want to be prosperous in a manner that glorifies God? Be a faithful steward, a cheerful and bountiful giver from today.

Prayer: My life is all to God to serve Him till my last breath in Jesus name
