DIGGING DEEP – TUESDAY 28-JUL-2020
BY: Bro Ben Ekwere.

Theme for the Month: ACCEPTABLE WORSHIP
Today’s Topic: SACRIFICIAL GIVING, HIS WORSHIP & HIS BLESSINGS
Anchor Text: Rom 12:1-2

There are two key words in the text: Worship and Sacrifice:
1. Worship has been defined as the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity. Feeling is abstract; expression is action. IF YOU FEEL SOMETHING, YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO EXPRESS THAT FEELING. Without action, the feeling is virtually useless. The bible explains this in James 2:26 when it says without works, faith is dead, being alone. While we are justified by faith, our faith is justified by our works. If one says he loves God, such an individual would obey God and begin to walk in His ways, becoming more like Him and thus, bringing forth fruits of the Holy Spirit. Those are the works of faith we are referring to. For God so loved [feeling] the world, that he gave [action] His only begotten son…[John 3:16]. God expressed His love towards us; He gave us something marvellous and priceless, such that “while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”. So worship and sacrifice are closely knitted.

2. Talking about sacrifice… there is no way you sacrifice something without giving up what you love so much. Sacrifice is costly, whether it is in currency or it is in kind. David said I will not give to the lord what costs me nothing [2 Samuel 24:24].

Sacrificial giving as a mark of worship is always followed by the blessings of the Lord.
When you give, you receive; When you make acceptable sacrifice, God responds. When the sweet-smelling aroma of our worship and sacrifice rise up to heaven, God’s blessings come down in return.
• Remember these Bible Characters – Abraham, Hannah, Solomon…
• In Gen 17, Abraham offered his only son of promise to God, and God responded with more children even in his lifetime. After the death of Sarah, Abraham took another wife, Keturah, by whom he had six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah [Gen 25:1-2].
• Hannah, supposedly barren, incessantly ridicule and scorned by her mates, made a deal with God. In 1 Sam 1:20,28 Hannah asked for only a son, which she gave [as promised] back to God. She was satisfied with the deal, but God had a surprise for her. Because of that SACRIFICIAL GIVING, Eli announced another blessing on Hannah, and she conceived 3 more sons and 2 daughters, making six in total [1 Sam 2:20-21].
• Solomon gave a thousand burnt offering and God paid him a visit and gave him an ‘open cheque’ – “Ask whatever you want’ [1 Kings 3:4-5]. Then Solomon pushed further and sacrificed 22,000 oxen + 120,000 sheep and God responded in like manner, stamping his Name, His authority and his presence on King Solomon’s kingdom and the tabernacle that he built [1 Kings 8:63; 9:2-3].
• You may say you don’t have riches to give like Solomon did. God is not interested in the numbers. He is interested in the attitude. What would your attitude be if you had to sacrifice your best or you last meal or your last dime? Would you let go cheerfully? Remember also the widow with the last meal and the one with the last dime? Cf 1 Kings 17:12; Luke 21:4.

Finally, brethren, he enjoins us in Eph 5:1-2, our lives must be controlled by love, just as Christ loved us and gave his life for us as a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice that pleases God. in other words, our life of love must bring out some sacrifice or sort, making us give up what we hold dear. In preserving our bodies and our hearts from not conforming to this world, we become a testimony that indeed “we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing [2 Cor 2:15].

Prayers:
i. Father, thank you for all that you have given me; thank you for the ultimate gift: your son Jesus Christ, who m you gave to die and save us all.
ii. Father, forgive me if I ever paid lip-service to the faith I profess without taking actions to demonstrate it.
iii. Father, give us the grace to give sacrificially so as to move your hand to perform the mighty miracles our world so dearly needs.
iv. Thank you father for your Word. They are light and they are life to me. In Jesus Name we have prayed.

DIGGING DEEP, Tuesday 21-Apr-2020
Theme for the Month: JESUS
Topic: Who am I?
Bible Reading:
Matthew 16:13-19 KJV
[13] When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? [14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. [18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. [19] And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Let’s review this text on a verse by verse basis:
- [ ] Verse 13 - Jesus wanted to know what people thought of him.
- [ ] Verse 14 gave various answers... which indicated how confused and hard of hearing they were.
- [ ] Verse 15, Jesus wanted to test also the disciples’ knowledge of him. Who am I?
* Jesus must have known that there are some of them who knew not who he really was.
* There were some who were confused, not sure or were doubtful. So Jesus needed to reassure them. Remember: even John the Baptist, in prison, was one of such (Luke 7:19-22).

- [ ] In verse 16 Peter answered, you are Christ, the son of God. But this did not clarify the whole question.
* They thought that the Messiah, Redeemer, or Deliverer that was prophesied about would come like a warrior, with chariots of fire from above, to overthrow the superpowers of this physical world. Cf Luke 9:54.... a disciple asked Jesus to command fire from heaven to kill his “enemies”.
* Little did they know that he would come nimble as a Lamb, to be suffered and killed by the same oppressors, such that mankind can be absolved of all wrongdoing for eternity.
* THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND THIS MYSTERY.
- [ ] In verse 17 - 19 Jesus answered them:
* No one can know Jesus, unless the father reveals to him/her;
* That revelation of Christ to the individual is the beginning of a relationship with Christ. It is the foundation (ROCK) on which Christ can develop his salvation agenda (Church).
* And the promise of delegating to the individual all the authority needed to perform is given.

- [ ] What’s the meaning of the name Jesus Christ?
Matthew 1:21-23 KJV
[21] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. [22] Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, [23] Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Isaiah 7:14 KJV

GOD WITH US? Was He missing? Did God travel? What's the significance of His coming to be with us?
1. ***He is the Lamb of God... Sin had separated man from God, so Jesus came to be sacrificed and used as atonement for our sins in order to reconcile man back to God so as to restore man and give him back his lost glory and authority. Compare old covenant when Adam and Eve fell from Grace. Back then, the blood of goats and Rams and oxen was used in sacrifice to atone for our sins. But God used His only begotten son for the ultimate sacrifice once and for all. IT IS FINISHED.

2. ***He is our High Priest. Jesus came down in flesh and blood so he can have a taste of our infirmities so he can relate to the father. To feel what we feel, pass the test and present a perfect example for us to follow.

In the old dispensation the high priest would offer sacrifices to atone for sins with the blood of goats and rams. Now Jesus Christ constantly intercedes for us as his own blood bails us out of our sins again and again for all eternity. He is our advocate.
Hebrews 4:14-16 KJV. [14] Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. [15] For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. [16] Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Altar Call:
If you have not accepted Christ as the Saviour, then he is not your High Priest and cannot advocate or intercede for you. Or you have known Christ before but now you not very sure, you have doubts about His abilities or existence. Or something made you to drift away from him. Or you have been saved but you want to rededicate your life to him.

- [ ] If you belong to any of these classes, please pray this prayer with me:
---the unsaved, the unsure, the backslidden, the saved but want to rededicate your life to Him... Now is the time. Put your right hand to your chest wherever you are and say this prayer with me.
- [ ] Father, I surrender and rededicate my life unto you today. I have doubted you. I have wandered far away from your presence. Forgive me father. Delete my name from the book of death and write my name in the book of life. Show me your divine favor again. From now on, I promise to work with you. And I am depending on you to se me through to the glorious end. Thank you father for showing me your grace, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Prayers:
- [ ] Father, thank you for the Lamb which you sent to save.
- [ ] Father, forgive my doubts and unbelief; forgive my unwillingness to obey.
- [ ] Father, reveal unto me the secret things of your kingdom. Reveal your manifestations, your deeds and your plans to me just like you did to Peter and the other disciples.
- [ ] Father, give us the keys of the kingdom of heaven like you promised.
- [ ] Standing on that promise, we declare our nation healed from the COVID-19 scourge.
- [ ] We declare all patients of COVID-19 calling on your name now to receive their miraculous healing.
- [ ] We bind every evil virus flying around the world and send it back to the bottomless pit.
- [ ] We declare every sick person now listening or watching to receive miraculous healing right now.
- [ ] Father, give me the strength and the fortitude to remain with you till the end.
- [ ] Thank you for answering us, in Jesus Mighty name we pray. Amen.
