Isn’t Sacrifice Enough? Part 3
The Prophet Samuel went to confront King Saul after he spared wicked King Agag and blamed the people for keeping some of the spoils, after God had told him to utterly destroy all and take nothing.
Samuel said “Has the Lord as great a delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obedience to the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed [is better] than the fat of rams.
“For rebellion is as [serious as] the sin of witchcraft, divination (fortune-telling), And disobedience is as [serious as] false religion and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you as king.”
1 Samuel 15:22-23 AMP
“Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; for I have transgressed the command of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. Now, please, pardon my sin and return with me, so that I may worship the Lord.”
But Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
1 Samuel 15:24-26 AMP
Father, our hearts are only to fear You! No one has done for us what You have, through Christ’s sacrifice, to right our hearts before You and bring your Spirit to life in us, giving us the power and authority to OVERCOME ALL SIN. JESUS BLOOD WAS AND STILL IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO CANCEL SIN AND DEATH’S GRIP ON US. Even the remembrance of it is taken completely away from Your sight and mind because of HIS BLOOD! I think our obedience is a pretty small price for us to pay considering ALL YOU’VE DONE TO RESTORE US TO YOU!
AMEN 🙌🏻🔥❤️🔥🩸🩸🩸
PLEASE LISTEN!
