TO WHOM IS YOUR SACRIFICE GIVEN?

TO WHOM ARE YOU GIVING YOUR SACRIFICE?, 
TO WHOM ARE YOU DEVOTING ALL YOUR TIME, ENERGY AND EFFORT?, 
ARE YOU GIVING YOUR SACRIFICE TO THE ONE WHO DESERVES IT? 
THESE ARE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS EACH AND EVERY TRUE BELIEVER MUST 
MEDITATE ON AND ANSWER HONESTLY.
AS BELIEVERS OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, WE HAVE IN SO MANY WAYS COME 
ACROSS THE WORD SACRIFICE, BUT THE THING IS, HAVE WE REALLY BOTHERED TO KNOW WHAT IT IS AND WHY WE HAVE TO COME ACROSS IT EVERY TIME? 

WELL LET'S LEARN ;

ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, SACRIFICE IS AN ACT OF WORSHIP..(GENESIS 22:5), SO THE QUESTION COMES AGAIN, WHOM/WHAT ARE YOU WORSHIPING?,  IS IT YOUR FASHION TRENDS, YOUR SPORTS LEGENDS, YOUR MUSIC LEGENDS,YOUR PHONE, YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA FAN BASE, YOUR MONEY, YOUR JOB, YOUR HANDCRAFTED IDOL, OR IS IT YOURSELF?
WELL IF IT BE ANY OF THESE, THEN IT IS MY DUTY TO REMIND YOU OF WHAT THE ALMIGHTY FATHER SAID IN HIS OWN WORDS AND HANDWRITING ; "THOU SHALT NOT HAVE NO OTHER gods BEFORE ME. THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE, OR ANY LIKENESS OF ANYTHING THAT IS IN HEAVEN ABOVE, OR THAT IS IN THE EARTH BENEATH, OR THAT IS IN THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH, THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN THYSELF TO THEM, NOR SERVE THEM:" (EXODUS 20:3-5)

ONE MAY ARGUE SAYING, HOW CAN I FALL VICTIM TO THESE COMMANDMENTS WHEN I AM JUST PAMPERING AND LOVING MYSELF?, WELL I AM NOT SAYING ANYTHING BECAUSE I HEARD SOMEONE SAY, BUT BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN REVEALED TO ME, AND I TELL YOU THAT YOU LOVING YOURSELF CONTRADICTS THE FIRST LINE, BECAUSE YOU EXALT YOURSELF ABOVE THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND THIS IS AS MUCH AS MAKING YOURSELF A god.

MANY A TIMES, WE UNFORTUNATELY HEAR SOME CHRISTIANS SAY, "WE ARE NO MORE LIVING UNDER THE LAW BUT UNDER THE DISPENSATION OF GRACE", THIS IS UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THE WORDS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DURING HIS TIME ON EARTH WHEN HE SAID; " THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW , OR THE PROPHETS, I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY THEM, BUT TO FULFIL. FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS FROM THE LAW, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED." ( MATTHEW 5:17-18).  
SO KNOWING THIS, WE ARE STILL UNDER THE LAW AND MUST OBLIGED TO THEM... SO TO MY KINGDOM BROTHERS AND SISTERS OUT THERE IS NOT GODLY TO HAVE THE NAME TAG OF A CHRISTIAN AND YET NOT KNOW IS TO BE DONE AND WHAT IS TO BE SAID BY YOU. KNOWING THAT YOU CAN NOT SERVE TWO MASTERS ALL AT ONCE, (i.e. ANYTHING ELSE AND GOD), WE SHOULD FORSAKE WHAT IS NOT FOR/WITH GOD FOR GOD HIMSELF, FOR HE SAID; " THOSE WHO HEAR MY WORDS AND OBEY THEM, ARE THOSE THAT LOVE ME..." , SO WE SHOULD EXHIBIT OUR LOVE FOR GOD BY HEARING & OBEYING HIS COMMANDS AND TEACHING OTHERS TO DO SO, AND BY SO DOING WE WILL BE ABLE BY THE GRACE OF GOD TO SAVE SOULS FROM ENDING UP IN HELL. FOR IT IS BECAUSE OF UNGODLY DOCTRINES, SOULS ARE BEING LOST...

LET US LOVE AND SACRIFICE TO GOD ALONE, BELIEVING IN THE CHANCE OF SALVATION HE HAS PRESENTED TO US THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, AND WE WILL INDEED BE HARVESTED ON THE DAY OF GREAT HARVEST.  AMEN...
