READ: Joshua 8:1-31
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. :- Matthew 19:29
God honours those who sacrifice to Him. Beginning from now, strange doors of favour will be opening to you because of the sweet sacrifices you are making to the Lord. You will enter into new dimensions because of your sacrifices. All through the next season of your life, you will experience goodness, mercies and loads of blessings because of your great sacrifices for the Lord.
Your sacrifices to God are important in determining how far you will go. There is no one who enlarges his life and ministry without enlarging his sacrifice! Modern Christians want to get away with not paying the price. You will surely pay the price if you want to serve God. You will become a surprise to yourself and to your world only if you enlarge your sacrifice (1 Samuel 10:11-12).
What great sacrifices have you made for God? Joshua is known for fighting wars and taking territories. Is it not amazing that he was also a man of sacrifice? A man who built an altar onto the Lord! Go into the lives of all those who have been used greatly by the Lord. You will see the sacrifices they made for the Lord. Sacrifices are abundant in the lives of Bible characters, and they are also evident in the lives of modern Christians who have made great strides for the Lord. You too will make great strides for the Lord! It will be said of you, “We have seen strange things today.”
And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, WE HAVE SEEN STRANGE THINGS TO DAY.
Luke 5:26
