How God Turns Our Offering Into A Supernatural Blessing- Part 4 Series

Praise the Lord. Here is the conclusion of ‘How God turns our offering into a supernatural blessing.’

That is the point, which God will come and move us to see, there is something I can give unto the Lord. I thought I had given up everything. But there is something I can give as an offering to the Lord. There is an Isaac and a Samuel in my life, in my life that I can give unto the Lord in worship, in faith for the glory of God. What a wonderful place to be. When I come to God with open hands and say, “God, whatever was mine that was good and you prosper; I open my hands, Lord it belongs to You. Whenever and whatever You want, it’s Yours. At that point, God will begin to do the supernatural. So the natural things that I possess, God comes and He moves us to give up certain things at certain times as the Spirit of God leads. So ask the Lord, ask the Lord sincerely, “Lord, is there something in my life, some Isaac, some Samuel that I ought to give to You, place on the altar, so that Your divine purposes could be fulfilled.

Notice, Samuel was not just given back to Hannah or nor was he just another priest in the temple of Eli, where Eli worshipped and ministered. He was not an ordinary priest or person. He was the divinely appointed man of God whose words were like God’s Words himself. When he spoke it happened, people were afraid; people rejoiced also because they knew it was God speaking through him. Notice that when the natural was given up to God, God’s supernatural plan was fulfilled. So are you looking tonight for God’s supernatural plan to be fulfilled in your life or are you going to settle for whatever progress you’ve made up to this point. And say, God I’m comfortable now. I’ve made some sacrifices along the way, but I am not interested in giving up Isaac. I’m not interested in making a vow to You in giving up Samuel, because I want to be small minded. Where You are limitless, I feel that I’ve come to a place where I’m comfortable. Here, up to this point, I'll walk with You Lord. If you want to go further with me, I’m afraid it’s going to cost me too much. I’m afraid; I don’t have the faith level to offer up what You want from me. I’m afraid. That fear is exactly opposite to God’s promise, we need to know that. When God says give up something, He will honor our commitment and our offering and He will bless us supernaturally. Praise the Lord. I just want to end with Psalms 61.

Let this be the cry to the Lord tonight, “Father, what I have purposed in my heart tonight, what You have shown me, what I brought before You. I want to give it to You freely from my heart. It may or may not be money. That’s a very small area actually. There are Isaacs and there are Samuels that God is looking for, from Abraham and from Hannah, that’s the whole point. From you and from me, who have the blessing or will have the blessing. God is saying there is something I want you to give up to honor me, and I will surely honor you beyond your wildest dreams. Praise God. So, let’s go to the Lord even with this psalm of prayer. Psalm 61[King James Version]

1. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

2. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed:

(You see that a point where there is severe distress, a narrow point, where we are closed in, into an impossible situation, at that point when my heart is overwhelmed, I am looking to God.)

Lead me to the rock that is (lower than I, No!) higher than I.

Lord, take me higher to You. Hallelujah! Higher, I want to get closer to Your heart.

3. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

4. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

And here comes the vows.

5. For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:

You see, it’s not just coming to God and saying, “Give me, give me, give me.” It’s saying to Lord, “Lord, what can I give to You. Lord, You’ve given me so much. What is there that is close to my heart, that Your Holy Spirit is bringing before me, not haphazardly but deliberately, purposefully, I am laying at the altar of the Almighty God. It may mean, brothers and sisters, you saying to the Lord as my wife did at some point, as we did together, “Lord, this child that You’ve given belongs unto You. Not just by possession because You created him or her, but I’m giving this child to serve You to glorify You more than anything else in this whole life in this world. I want Your Name to be glorified Lord, and use this precious child You’ve given me. It may mean that, it may mean that the Lord is moving you to dedicate that child whole heartedly, unreservedly, fearlessly into the hands of the Almighty saying, “Lord, use this child to be the next Isaac or Samuel.” Hallelujah. God will do that.
