PREVAILING VOICE DAILY
4th January
Topic: OFFERINGS
Text : Psalms 50:14
14: Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
When in need we make request, trusting God for something, we most times within us promised to either give something tangible to the Lord or desire to serve Him better if He grants our request, but how soon do most of us forget the vows we have made? But either we made vows or not, we are obliged to make offerings of thanksgiving.
How often do you feel like nothing fantastic had happened, and forget the time you were under serious pressure? It is important you know that our main purpose of existence is to give Him thanks. While God attends to our requests it is our responsibility to offer Him praises and pay our vows.
It is like paying school fees of a child as a parent, while you take responsibility of paying school fees and other fees, it is the duty of that child to bring you praise by doing well in school. God expects that our lives bring Him praise and Glory just as we expect our children to bring us praise.
Remember when you were in desperate need and you were saying, ‘ if only God could bless me, I will give Him a huge sum as offering ‘ but when the financial breakthrough came the vow appeared so big that you couldn’t fulfill. It is from this point of view the Psalmist was say this by the Spirit of the Lord, ‘ offer unto God thanksgiving, and pay thy vows unto the most high ‘.
It is important we all take note of this because the natural man can easily forget pains and hardship when comfort comes, look around you will see people who talked as if they have never been through challenges. It is absolutely important you know that either in pains or comfort you owe God praise, offering of thanksgiving is my responsibility, God must be praised in all circumstances.
A life devoted to offering of praise and thanksgiving receives from the Lord, a grateful heart is His delight. Make sure you do not fail in offering God praise and thanks. It is a new day, a new week, a new month, renew your mind to give Him praise always, and you can be sure of blessings always. God bless you. Do have a praiseful week.
PRAYER.
* I present my life as sacrifice of praise.
* I will praise you always Lord.
