Do you know that if your service to God has not yet become a sacrifice, you actually have some vital statures to accomplish?
Certain individuals render service to with a part of their life that costs them nothing, while they save the most valuable parts to themselves. The sacrificial work of Apostle Paul in his ministry stood him out among his peers. The story that prompted the statement he made in Acts 21:13 is a valid example.
It wasn't so much that Paul questioned the prophecy that declared that he would be bound in Jerusalem; rather, the dread of limits no affected him because his heart was determined to do the desire of the Master. For this reason, the brethren just could not convince him against going to Jerusalem.
2nd Samuel 23:14-17 let us know the story of sacrificial service. David fantasized aloud about drinking water from the well that was at the entryway of Bethlehem, however which was closed off by a stronghold of the Philistines there around then.
Overhearing their lord's desire, three powerful men took a chance with their lives and got through the host of the Philistines to get their water for David. Being a warrior himself, David realized the danger implied in going into the camp of the adversary for whatever reason.
While he praised the boldness of the three strong men, he would not drink the water they brought due to the worth he put on these men who took a chance with their lives to satisfy a personal longing of his.
If these men could take such extraordinary measures for David, what degree of sacrifice are prepared to make for your Master?
At the point when service became a sacrifice, just a couple of individuals will keep on holding the post. All things considered, the reward for sacrificial service is very significant to be sure.
The three men who endangered their lives for David were given top position in his army. Here is the recognition and award our Lord promises the people who will move forward the level of their service from normal to sacrificial: Luke 19:17
