On the Altar


There are problems in our life which with a simple prayer can solve or a chain of prayer can be more than enough to get such problems solved. But for greater things that have potential to make a huge transformation in our life and secure our salvation we can only conquer when we surrender 100% of everything we are, in order words, our whole life on the Altar of God. In one of the psalms we find these verses: 'Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known my name...And show him My salvation'. Psalm 91.
When we really love we sacrifice all, we renounce everything in favor of the one we love, to love doesn't mean to receive but give without expecting anything in return, though nowadays it doesn't work like this for many people but with God it has to work. If you are not ready to give up your all on the Altar you then are not ready to conquer God's greatness, principally His salvation.
There are many who are called "Christians" living on small blessings, a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow but they never ever experienced what God has really prepared for them simply because they refuse to sacrifice their all on the Altar. It is very easy to climb on to the Altar to give offerings, tithes and prayer requests which once you leave them on the Altar they don't remain there but if you deposit your life it'll stay there for good and then you'll be able to enjoy His greatness and principally the salvation of your life.
Bishop Carlos E Da Costa
