NO CHANGE WITHOUT SACRIFICE

Hebrews 11:24-25 NKJ “By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,”

God confronts us with the truth on a daily basis, and He expects us to make a change that conforms to His truth. Change however, requires and demands sacrifice. Sacrifice is not easy to engage in, yet it is the key that unlocks many gates to people’s deliverances and blessings. It is one of the secrets of supernatural breakthroughs. I am talking about personal sacrifice in your life that demands you make u-turn from your present lifestyle; detach yourself from individuals in your life that are pulling you away you from God’s plan and purpose for your life. This will require tough decisions but God’s grace will always be sufficient for you.  Potiphar’s wife took notice of Joseph’s good looks and asked him to sleep with her. Joseph refused her advances, saying that he could not do such a wicked thing and sin against God. Despite her repeated attempts, Joseph refused to sleep with her or even be with her (Genesis 39:9-10). That was the sacrifice that made a big change in Joseph’s life and destiny. God fulfilled Joseph’s dream. He went from being a prisoner to becoming a prime minister in Egypt, within a day. The widow of Zarephath sacrificed the only handful of flour and little oil she had for her son and herself to eat during a drought (cause of the famine in the land), and God gave her food to eat till rain started falling again for crops to grow. She experienced supernatural turnaround through her sacrifice (1 Kings 17:8-16). I want you to take an inventory of your life today. What sacrifices should you make, that will bring God’s desired change (s) in your life and make your life a testimony for His glory? Remember, “No Change without a Sacrifice.”
