This month of Thanksgiving is a month of Sacrifice; Spiritual Sacrifice! We will render the sacrifice of praise in the way the Spirit has stipulated! In the old testament, God required daily sacrifices of bulls and goats as testaments of Worship unto him! God got tired of that -Psalm 40! He longed for the day where he would be enthroned in our hearts and when our bodies became his temple! That dream has been realized in Christ! We are now a Spiritual house, a consecrated priesthood, to offer up Spiritual sacrifices! - 1 Peter 2:5. What sacrifices are these? What is being slain in Worship? It's no longer bulls and goats; the perfect perfecting sacrifice, Jesus was enough! Now, we offer the 'Calves' of our lips - Hosea 14:2. These are our statements and Testimonies of praise consenting to God's greatness, God's truth! Hebrews 13:15 says, ' 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.' The Phrase, 'Giving thanks' is 'Homologeo' in the Greek. It refers Confessions; saying the same thing with another, consenting with another, with the intent of adoration and praise! When we speak about who God is and who we are in him, we consent to his truth; we confess his greatness! These are our Spiritual sacrifices; the Calves of our lips! Let everyday be a practice of this priestly ministry! Be ever mindful to render the 'Calves' of your lips; he alone is worthy! #Thanksgiving #GreaterGlory
