THE GREATEST SACRIFICE 1

16^TH , APRIL 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 25, Deuteronomy 27, Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Luke 17:11-37, Psalm 46:1-11

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Romans 5:6-10

6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 

8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 

9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 

10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

MEMORY VERSE:

“And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." – I John 2:2

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
No other blood is as powerful as the blood of Jesus, which He shed on the cross at Calvary, the greatest sacrifice that negates every other sacrifice.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:

𝐈 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐁𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐉𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐒, 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐋 𝐒𝐀𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐁𝐘 𝐍𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐃, 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐉𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐒.

THE MESSAGE:

There are sacrifices and there are sacrifices. However, there is a sacrifice that surpasses every other sacrifice. This sacrifice not only has the power to swallow other sacrifices, but also to cancel, nullify, negate, reverse and render powerless every verdict, decree and other negative pronouncement that are unfavourable to the life and destiny of the person for whose sake it was offered.

Sacrifice, by human definition, is an act performed for the sake of a person. It could come in form of help or a performance done under a religious regulation, bound by an oath, or evil pronouncements invoked to back up the act in the spiritual realm. Commonly seen or heard of are rituals or sacrifices done with animals and birds, pouring of libations in the worship of idols. Even the Bible talks of the making of cakes for the worship of the queen of heaven in the book of Jeremiah.

God gave the regulations of worship to Moses and the children of Israel. The High Priest went into the Holy of holies once in a year for the atonement of sins of the children of Israel. He would first do his own atonement before proceeding to offer sacrifices on behalf of the people. As a result, it was easy for men to fall in and out of sin. This repetitive human performance was not the best antidote for our sins. Imagine if, as Christians, we are still bound to performance of numberless sacrifices! God, in His sovereignty thought of a permanent performance: a once and for all solution -- the death of Jesus on the Cross!

This is the Greatest Sacrifice! We no longer need to do or perform any other sacrifice because He entered once into the Holy of holies; He shed His blood and made His life a sacrifice as well as a ransom for us. Not only has He paid our sins through His death, we have been brought closer to God.

The price of my sins and yours was paid. The currency is His Blood. His Blood still speaks for us, pleading our case and defending our cause. That sacrifice was born out of love! Thank You Jesus!








PRAYER POINTS:
