Why money is important when making a sacrifice?

The other meaning of SACRIFICE is renunciation of something precious; it is very common in the church to hear people say that they surrendered body, spirit and soul on the altar, but most of the times we don’t see Gods answer in their lives, Why? It’s simple, we have two legs which takes us where we want to go , when we walk we put all the strength of our body on our left leg while the right one moves forward, then we put all the strength of our body on our right leg while the left one moves forward right? 

Sacrifice is also like that, there is the leg called spiritual and the leg called material. Many people put all their strength in their spiritual leg, in fasting, prayer, they stay away from sin but they are afraid of acting their faith renouncing everything that pertains to their body, spirit and soul on the altar.

So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple. (Luke 14:33)

To renounce on the altar means having the conscience that everything we have, house, car, money, children, husband, wife etc, are Not ours, they were lent to us, and God can ask these things from us and we are ready to put them on the altar, even if it costs us everything.

O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own (1 chronicles 29:16)

Maybe you ask why is money important in a sacrifice?

We have heard many times in the news mother giving up their babies for adoption alleging that they don’t have conditions to raise them, but have you ever heard of a mother giving up a million dollars to someone? Alleging that she can’t take care of those green bills? It is possible to leave without children, husband and family but not without money, because the human being needs is to survive. When what we had, what we have and what we will have is in the hands of God, it symbolizes what we were, what we are, and what we will be on the altar.

If you don’t want to depend on someone like a crutch, but only on yourself and God to reach where you want in whatever area of your life, then use your faith on the altar using both legs, the spiritual and material legs. 

In this way you will not walk, but you will run after your success.
