SACRIFICES OF THANKSGIVING

InSpired
KING SOLOMON OFFERED A THOUSAND BURNT OFFERING! 

I participated in a Drama presentation some few years back. In the Drama playlet, a King was seated on 
his throne with his chiefs around him and different subjects in his kingdom entered his presence.

Each subjects came into his presence with different scenarios in their lives. A man came into His presence complaining that his farm had a very small.harvest.

A woman complained about a sick child, and another woman brought a very little farm products as a thanksgiving offering though she had a bountiful harvest.

Then a lady came in and right from the gates of the palace started singing the praises of the King with dancing and continued till she got to the presence of the King.

She continued on her knees eulogising the King, telling him about his.marvelous acts on the earth and in her life. The King asked her what she wanted and she responded " Nothing, l just come to worship you".

In the Drama, the King got up from His throne and went with the lady who sang his praises 

If earthly kings understand the importances of heartfelt, sincere worship, how much more The King of all kings, Master of the Universal, Emperor and King, The LORD over principalities, The Lord over powers .

God Himself said in Psalm 50, that bulls and sheep cannot satisfy Him but the worship from a heart that is already dedicated to Him out of appreciation for His goodness in their lives will always delight Him.

So King Solomon who already had everything he needed, an inherited fortune, a working Covenant, Lands, the throne chose to start his reign on the throne of his father- king David by offering a mind blowing sacrifice for he knew he needed more than all these things.

I don't know where King Solomon got the inspiration from but He offered the sacrifices that nobody had ever offered in Human history ' A THOUSAND" and it got God' s attention.

Cheaply, king Solomon became the most wise king in his generations and beyond.

SPIRITUAL NUGGET
Now, we should not start to worship God because we want God to make us famous, rich etc., capital NO!

We must learn to worship Him in all sincerity because He enjoys it, because we want to please Him, because He is the King of kings and Lord of lord.

You will never want to offend or displease a man you are in love with because what makes him sad will make you sad 

I have had friends in the past that l did things for them not because it was convenient but because l wanted to please them.

Our relationship with God is borne out of God' love for us and it must be sustained by our love for Him.

Christ In Your Heart

HOW TO ATTAIN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP  WITH GOD AND MAN Christ is called the Anointed One, which symbolisies that He was a man under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8 reveals that the Holy Spirit can lead a man which is the Holy Spirit guiding and directing the activities, decisions and thoughts of the Man through the written and spoken Word. But when the Holy Spirit is leading a man, the man has the absolute ability to say No to the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow his own inclinations. But there is a higher dimension of  relationship with the Holy Spirit which is state of absolute surrender that is exemplified by the life of The LORD of Host Himself: Jesus Christ, The LORD and Saviour of the Earth..

Christ ensured that His thoughts, mind and heart is filled and full of the Word of God so that whatever He says and do, it is an offs
