PIDGIN THE LAW OF SACRIFICE!

Psalm 50:5 “Gather together to Me My saints [those wey don find grace for My sight], those wey don make covenant with Me through sacrifice.”

 

The law of sacrifice na one of the most consistent spiritual principle wey full Scripture from beginning reach end. From Genesis go Revelation, God show say nothing wey get real value dey come without sacrifice, and nothing wey get eternal meaning fit stand without am. Sacrifice no be just to give up something; na intentional offering of wetin dey cost us—inside obedience, love, and alignment with God purpose. Na the road to spiritual depth, divine power, and kingdom advancement.

Imagine wetin Hosea feel when God tell am make he marry prostitute for Hosea 1:2. 

Sacrifice, for the root, na exchange—you release something earthly so you fit receive something heavenly.

Jesus talk this law clear for John 12:24: “Unless grain of wheat fall inside ground die, e go remain alone; but if e die, e go produce plenty grain.” 

Nothing dey multiply until something die. Nothing dey rise until something don lay down!

Sacrifice start with God. The first sacrifice for Scripture no be man offer am—na God Himself. After Adam and Eve sin, God cloth them with animal skin for Genesis 3:21. Blood shed to cover their shame. This one set the pattern: sacrifice na God language of redemption.

The highest expression of this law na Christ. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16). God no give wetin easy; He give wetin precious. The cross na eternal proof say love dey give, and true giving dey cost.

For Scripture, every major encounter with God dey follow sacrifice, because sacrifice dey open divine encounters.

- Noah build altar after the flood; God respond with covenant say He no go destroy earth again (Genesis 8:20–22). 

- Abraham offer Isaac for Mount Moriah; God respond with generational blessing and promise of nations (Genesis 22:15–18). 

- Solomon offer one thousand burnt offerings; God respond with wisdom, wealth, and honour (1 Kings 3:4–13). 

For every case, sacrifice open realm of divine visitation. God dey respond to sacrifice because e dey show the posture of the heart.

The biggest enemy of spiritual growth no be Satan—na self. Sacrifice dey confront self-will, self-comfort, and self-preservation. Sacrifice dey break the power of self. Jesus talk for Matthew 16:24: “If anybody wan follow Me, make e deny himself, carry him cross, and follow Me.” 

Cross no be jewellery; na symbol of death to self. Sacrifice dey train believer to say “yes” to God even when flesh dey shout “no.” Na discipline wey dey shape disciples.

Every spiritual hero for Scripture pass through sacrifice. Sacrifice na seed of transformation.

- Moses sacrifice royalty to embrace purpose (Hebrews 11:24–26). 

- Ruth sacrifice her homeland follow Naomi and find destiny for Bethlehem (Ruth 1:16–17). 

- Paul sacrifice status, intellect, and reputation to gain Christ (Philippians 3:7–8). 

Sacrifice na womb of transformation. You no fit remain the same after you lay something precious for altar.

Sacrifice dey release power and authority. E get some dimensions of spiritual authority wey only sacrifice fit unlock. When Elijah repair the altar and offer sacrifice, fire fall from heaven (1 Kings 18:30–39). David refuse to offer God wetin no cost am (2 Samuel 24:24), and his sacrifice stop plague.

Sacrifice no be manipulation; na alignment. When your heart, obedience, and offering align, heaven dey respond.

Sacrifice na pathway to true worship. Worship without sacrifice empty. Paul urge believers for Romans 12:1 make we “present our bodies as living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.” True worship no be song—na surrendered life.

The law of sacrifice dey demand say something inside us dey die continually so that Christ fit live through us continually.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

·       Wetin God dey ask me to lay down for this season so that something greater fit rise? 

·       Which area of my life still dey resist the discipline of sacrifice—comfort, time, relationships, habits, or resources? 

·       How God don use past sacrifices shape my character, deepen my faith, or open new doors?

PRAYER: Father, teach me the way of sacrifice. Break every attachment wey dey hinder my obedience. Give me courage to lay down wetin You dey ask for, and give me grace to trust Your wisdom for every surrender. Make my life be altar wey Your fire dey fall on continually. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
