BY FAITH, OFFER YOUR ONLY... (HEBREWS 11) ++SOULFOOD++ Sunday October 19, 2014 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son. Hebrews 11:17 KJV One of the memorable dramas that took place in the Bible is the offering of Isaac to God by Abraham. One would imagine why a man, after waiting for that long to have only one child, would give him up as an offering to God. It wasnt easy for him but I think he concluded that God gave him Isaac just because He needed him as a perfect sacrifice in years to come. God does not require anything from us because we have enough, but because He needs it. In other hand, we dont give because it is most convenient but because God needs it. Most people are in their levels today just because of lack of faith. One of the ways we worship God is through our giving, and we should know that everything we have today are given to us by God. Am not a good teacher of GIVING, but of obedience. It was not easy for us when God requested for our only car. The thought of our mobility should have taken the place of faith but we had to let GO! Next, was our electronic appliances, funds, etc. After all these, we are still alive. Do not fail this trial when it is coming from God. God labelled Abraham faithful because he went ahead to offer Isaac, his only begotten. Gods plan was to offer Jesus, His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON too. PRAYER: Lord, help me to listen to your voice when you come calling; not to hold on to anything as if its my life. But to give that which you require from me, by faith. This i ask in Jesus name, Amen.
