“…go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful…” Mathew 19:21 (NKJV)
In our walk with God, one of the things we have to consciously do is to make sacrifices for Him who has called us out of darkness and translated us into His marvelous light. We have not been called to be lazy and neglect important things in the kingdom. God wants us to be up and doing. There is so much that God expects from us today. We have been called to carry out God’s vision here on earth which is to reconcile men back to Him by every means possible (1 Corinthians 5:17). We have a responsibility to get involved in soul-winning because many out there are perishing. They are on their way to hell but if we will take up our responsibility and try to reach out, we will save them from eternal damnation.
This is one thing you must always make sacrifices for. Saving the lost will always come at a cost. But you see when the price has been paid, it becomes worth it for the Bible says, there is joy in heaven over one sinner that repents and returns to God (Luke 15:7). So, as you journey in your walk with God, make a conscious decision to make sacrifices for the one who died for you and offered His life for you. Remember, He didn’t offer Himself, just so that you can feel good and lazy around. He offered Himself for you so that you can become an extension of this light that He has brought into the world. He offered Himself so that you can go the extra mile to ensure that other people out there who are yet to receive the Gospel can receive it. Therefore, make a conscious decision to become sacrificial in your walk with Him. It is only through sacrifices, you can truly walk in the path that God wants you to walk in. Hallelujah!

Father, I am grateful for this eye-opening message. I refuse to be a dormant Christian. I choose this day to be active and to make sacrifices daily. And as I do this, many shall come to the knowledge of the truth and be established in the faith in the name of Jesus. Amen!
