The Place Of Sacrifice

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Timothy 4:6(AMP); For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure [from this world] is at hand and I will soon go free.

Sacrifice defines the law of multiplication. For example, by Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, many sons were brought to glory.

Our theme scripture also demonstrates this secondary line of sacrifice.

There was no way Paul would have been able to minister to multitudes today if he had not been poured out like a drink offering. His life in the body ceased but his spirit is still ministering to us.

What we have in the Bible are epistles but even as we read them today, our eyes are opened to deeper insights in God. He may have died with so much unsaid but when a man is poured out, his spirit is not silent.

His sacrifice launched him into the graces of abundance where he was overflowing that what was upon him could impact generations to come.

The pattern of his life brought him to this place. He was a man who was dead to the world and the world was dead to him; this was a man in dyings often; he had spent and had been spent for the sake of the gospel; he had counted all things as loss for the sake of Christ; he knew nothing of himself.

It is the crushing of the vine that produces the oil and the more it is crushed, the more oil flows out of it.

You cannot claim an impact on the generations to come until you are willing to be poured out as an offering.

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Sacrifice defines the law of multiplication. You cannot claim an impact on the generations to come until you are willing to be poured out as an offering.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank you for the gospel. Thank you for the things that you have placed inside me. The mark of distinction upon my life is not merely for this age but for ages to come. My ministry is not just earthly but it is an eternal ministry. Years from now, I will still be a blessing. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
