Before The Offering

Tuesday, November 5, 2024

Messiah told us that if you're presenting an offering to God and remember that your brother has something against you, you need to first reconcile with your brother before coming to present your offering. He's telling us that even above offerings to God, we need to make peace with anybody who we might have a conflict with. If we say we love God but are holding something against somebody in our life, we're lying. It's a radical teaching and most believers don't take it seriously enough. Further, the Lord said to make peace quickly. Conflict is dangerous, and if left unchecked, will tend to spread. Thus, be quick to make peace. Is there somebody in your life that you're estranged from, or have something against; a grudge, bitterness, or complaint? As much as it's in your power, make peace. It's not an option in salvation, it's a command. Make peace, bless them, break down the wall, and do it with speed. Then your offering will be accepted by God and your life will be blessed.
