PRAYER NUGGET

NUGGET: ACCEPTABLE OFFERING

BIBLE FOCUS- Isaiah 1:13-20 KJV- Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.  Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;  Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord : though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.  If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 

PRAYER : FATHER SHOW ME MERCY AND LET MY OFFERING BE ACCEPTABLE UNTO YOU. I REFUSE TO ATTRACT STRANGE FIRE NOR BRING STRANGE OFFERINGS TO GOD. FATHER LET MY LIFE BE AN ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE TO YOU.FATHER KEEP ME IN RIGHT STANDING WITH YOU LET ME NOT FALL ASIDE FROM YOUR WAY OR WILL IN JESUS NAME, AMEN

WORD- Your offering can't be substituted for a right stand with God. God told Israelite that all this you bring to me, are abomination cos you are not clean. Don't ever think that your offerings or your doing good deeds as giving to the poor or to the things of God can equal to your salvation. Infact God is saying before those offering can be accepted, your ways must be right with Him. Your offering is used to access God's treasure. It is a way of seeing God too. So you are not doing God a favour by giving but rather you are seeking favour from God because it's blessed to give than to recieve. Your offering is a blessing to you when your way is right with God, and could attract God's wrath if your ways are not right in his sight. 

TODAY'S TIP: THE BEST SACRIFICE TO GIVE GOD IS LIVING YOUR LIFE TO PLEASE HIM.
