March 10, 2023 – Sacrificing to Know God Personally
Sermon: 2074 Discovering Your Ministry, Part 1
Pray Over This
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.”
Ponder This
Sacrifice is personal. You present yourself. I can’t do it for you; you can’t do it for me. You don’t need to ask, “Lord, what would You have Adrian do?” But each one of us must say, “Lord, today, I present myself.” It is personal.
In the Old Testament, a sacrifice was an animal slain and put on an altar. Are you willing to present yourself as a sacrifice today? Many of us don’t know God because we aren’t willing to die to ourselves. When you die, you have no more rights. Your wife, your husband, your children, your car, your home, your ambitions, your education, and your business all belong to Him. God doesn’t want you to take Him into your business as your partner. He’s your boss. He owns it; it is His. You can’t have half a sacrifice. God will not accept half a sacrifice. You are to present yourself as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto Him.
- When have you given your life to God as a sacrifice? What does that require of you?
- What are some things that hold you back from living as a sacrifice to God daily?
