TEXT: 1 Kings 8: 54-9: 9(NKJV)
Daily Fountain For Saturday 27th May 2023 Study:
Israel experienced God’s glory in the temple dedication ceremony. Solomon first appealed to the Israelites to keep God’s commandments to obtain answered prayers (v.61). Solomon sacrificed twenty-two thousand bulls and twenty thousand sheep, numerous burnt, peace and grain offerings. He celebrated the festival for fourteen days. Israel happily ate, drank and blessed their king. The sacrificial offerings Solomon lavished attracted God to appear personally to him saying:”I have heard your prayers; I have hallowed this house” (1 Kings 9:3).
Men of immense sacrifices and unalloyed obedience always attract God’s attention. It is unfortunate that many people sacrifice hours and huge resources for games, fashion, socio-cultural activities, social media, etc., but get irritated and infuriated when it comes to sacrifices and obedience to God. I was in a church many years ago when a man brought two hundred naira to the altar table to thank God for helping him to buy a car and I really marvelled.
The car cost millions of naira and the owner brought 200 naira for Thanksgiving prayers. That money was not enough to pump air in the car tyres. This is the kind of misnomer that characterizes the life of some Christians. Beloved, a life of obedience and sacrifice yields many dividends with God. Therefore, possess these qualities so that God can positively respond to your calls.
PRAYER: Take my silver and gold, O Lord.
