What’s In This for Me?

Hebrews 11:6 ‘For without faith it is impossible to please Him. For he that cometh to Him must first believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.’

Probably during the fast many times you may have asked why am I doing this?’ What will I gain? How will this change my circumstances? First let me say, you are normal. Sometimes you feel like Lord, let this cup pass, or maybe Lord let me have a cup in this case! But let me encourage you. There is more to be gained if you believe That God is! First that He is God. The God you serve who made and knows all things and that he is a God that keeps His promises!

If you know God at all, having observed how he operates through his Word, then you will be like Abel in Genesis 4:4 who gained RESPECT from God and his sacrifice was honored. God looked on Abel and found him to be gracious and his gift proceeding from Grace. Abel was honored for his faith and obedience. He obtained by faith some great advantages. But note it was not enough just to believe he performed in accordance with his beliefs. Abel operated in faith with grace and received favor from God. We all know that favor is not fair. It is when we get what we don’t deserve or when we are preferred over someone else.

So what’s in it for you? If you believe in Jesus Christ of whom you serve and offer this sacrifice, you will have the favor of Abel and God will honor you, He will testify of you publicly even as Abel’s offering was consumed in public to attest that God approved it. People will see the manifestation of God’s Love and approval in your life and grant all thy petitions according to his divine will for you.

Peace to You
Pastor Dorothy
