THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Hebrews 13:15

... The priests of the Old Testament had to offer burnt offerings, in the form of bulls and calves, morning and evening, every day, to God. Moreover, in the first tabernacle, the burning of incense had to go on continually, from sun up to sun down. However, in the New Testament, instead of killing bulls, goats, and calves, we’re required to offer spiritual sacrifices continually.

Our opening verse tells us how we’re to offer these spiritual sacrifices: it says, “by Him (Jesus) therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His Name.” The sacrifice of praise we’re to offer is “the fruit of our lips.” Some versions put it this way, “…the fruit of lips….” This refers to the words that come out of your lips. Then, the latter part says, “…giving thanks to his name.”

The construction “giving thanks,” in the original rendering, is the Greek verb “homologeo,” which means, “to make confession.” Hence, “…giving thanks to his name” means “making confessions to His Name”; declaring words that give praise to His Name. This is different from making confessions of the Word of God about you, which is equally very important. The Bible enjoins that you speak to yourself in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs (Ephesians 5:19); in other words, make

confessions of the Word to yourself. Like you’d say or sing, “Greater is He that is in me.” When you sing or make such confessions, you’re not really praising God; you’re making confessions of His Word about you, and that has its place!

Making confessions of His Name, on the other hand, means you’re singing to the Name of Jesus; eulogizing and extolling the greatness of His Name! You’re pouring encomiums on His Name; you’re celebrating the power and effectiveness of His Name—using that Name to glorify God. Offer to the Lord the fruit of your lips, making joyful confessions to His Name.

PRAYER

Dear Father, with a heart full of thanksgiving and praise I worship your holy Name; you’re exalted above the heavens, and your glory is upon all the earth! There’s none like you, for your kingdom and reign is everlasting! Glory, honor, and praise are yours now and evermore, in Jesus’ Name. Amen

Walking in the light of your favour

info@yookos.com — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 06:35:00 GMT

“Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time is come” (Psalm 102:13).

As a child of God, you’re born into a life of favour. The Bible says, “For thou Lord will bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield” (Psalm 5:12). Now that you have come into the kingdom, God has planned for you to walk in His favour every day. As far as God is concerned, there is no situation terrible enough and no enchantment powerful enough to stop you from walking in the favour of God this year!

The only thing you need do is to walk in the light of that favour.

What does it mean to walk in the light of your favour? It means to live with the consciousness that you’re the favoured child of a loved God. It means to have a mindset of possibilities. The Bible lets us know that as Christians, we are partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). In other words, you have God’s nature of righteousness and His favour continually abound towards you. Have this consciousness throughout this year. Let it become your meditation, that you’ve received overflowing grace into your life and that grace is working out divine favour in everything that concerns you! With such a mindset, you’ll see the challenges you face as your opportunity to experience victory and glory.

Understand that when God looks at you, He doesn’t see you as someone in need of help. He sees you graced, full of the Holy Ghost and power; He sees one who is favoured! You have to see and agree with His picture of you and say, “Yes Lord, I am who you say I am! Nothing can put me down, because I walk in the light of my favour. Doors of opportunity are consistently opened to me and I am experiencing the favour of God every day!” Hallelujah!
