Matthew 26:8
8But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
• Sacrifice is different than reasonable service.
• God is prompting us to do something that is over and above what we would normally do.
• Most Christians will not even do reasonable service, for example, witnessing, tithing, etc.
• When you commit to becoming a successful G12 leader, it is a sacrifice. You open your home, call and visit.
• God is calling us to sacrifice.
• Sacrifice is always linked to a great reward.
• God is not going to bless you the way He wants to when you are just operating at a mediocre level.
• We must never cry about sacrificing.
• The disciples had indignation because they were unwilling to sacrifice on the level that the woman with the alabaster box demonstrated.
• You can be around spiritual people that have never made a sacrifice.
Luke 21:1-4
1And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
• Sacrifice is a big word for big people.
• People that do not want to sacrifice will talk against you sacrificing.
• Our blessings come from us stretching ourselves.
• A rubber band will not reach its potential until it is stretched.
• When we have an opportunity to give our finances, time or talent, we should not be complacent.
• Sacrifice never goes unrewarded.
• If we want big things to happen, we need to do something big.
Acts 4:34-35
34Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
• The people made sacrifice. Sacrifice is not the norm, it is the unusual.
• We need to ask God to call us to sacrifice.
• The devil hates sacrifice.
• When God asks us to do something, He is preparing to bless us.
