Good day Bible readers, Summary of what I learnt on our Prayer meeting and worship service on zoom
Genesis 4:6-7
And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Giving is a heartfelt act; if we must contribute to God, we must do so from the bottom of our hearts, not forcibly but voluntarily. If we are given, we must give properly; we must arrive at the point where we are given in relation to whom we are given to. If you are given to God, you must be connected to Him, and any man who is given to God must accept Him, obey His Principles, and Follow His Doctrines in order for your sacrifice to be accepted by Him.
Whoever does not follow the Lord's doctrine eventually falls into sin. having no delight in godliness in him after perpetrating all sorts of evil.
1 John 3:12-13
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
Proverbs 15:8
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord : but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
Mark 12:43-44
he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
Hebrews 13:16
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased
Romans 6:13
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
