Sacrifice of praise

All through the Bible there were people that God saved. There was that peculiar. People set aside. 

The first example of sacrifice in the Bible is found in the account of Cain and Abel. When Cain and Abel, the first two sons of Adam and Eve, presented their sacrifices before the Lord Abel's sacrifice was accepted while Cain's was rejected. 

And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. 

Somebody say in the process 

Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat. 

And the Lord respected Abel and his offering but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell (Genesis 4:4,5).

Is God really in your praise.

What kind of sacrifice are we given God. Are we  doing it with all our heart as Able.  Are we just given God what we want. 

Do you have a sacrifice of praise. 

Hebrews 13:15 says, "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise--the fruit of lips that openly profess his name." The terms "sacrifice" and "praise" might seem to be opposites. We think of sacrifice as offering something at great cost to ourselves. 

King James Bible

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 

Praise, on the other hand, sounds joyful as it bubbles from a grateful heart. However, in the spiritual realm, sacrifice and praise are intertwined. Are you laying down everything contrary to Gods Word or are you making excuses  for your actions as Cain. 

Although many knew about our God they never change there wicked ways. Over and over again men falsify  the truth. They were man who twisted the word to fit their lifestyles. 

Many denouncing there faith. And many sacrifices today are as Cain. 

God said if you desire to follow Me pick up your cross. The cross is a signature of death.  Are you ready to go all the way or are you wasting time.  

In the good and bad time praise Me no matter your circumstances praise me. 

Don’t just praise me when you get that new Car praise me when foreclosures comes.

When your car is about to be tow  will you still love Me. When your children act up and when you can’t see your way through that’s when I will bless you. 

I need to know will you still be with Me in your darkest days. Will you still love Me when things don’t go your way. Will I still be all your help. 

Let your life shine to save your children there watching you. Stop playing church and be the church.

Matthew 5:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
