Robert Moffat was one of the most influential Bible Translators and impactful missionaries to Africa.
As a small boy, his parents often read the stories of famous missionaries to Robert, which greatly stirred his heart towards God.
At only four years old, one day, Robert knelt at the altar of their small village Church and committed his life to Jesus.
Soon after, their Church conducted a missions meeting and there was a call for mission’s offerings. When one of the ushers passed by, little Robert asked him to put the offering plate down on the floor. As the usher obliged, little Robert stepped into the offering plate and said “I have no money to give to God, but I give Him myself.”
The young boy meant what he said and from then on he began to live with the view that God owned him and all he had.
As a teenager he applied to serve as a missionary in Africa. He would later end up as a world-renowned missionary who did great exploits, opened jungle villages to the Gospel, braved dangers to preach and translate the Bible and exalt Christ on the African continent.
His life became a great inspiration to David Livingstone, who became another legendary missionary to Africa and later became a beloved son-in-law to Robert Moffat.
When we wholly give our lives to God, He uplifts us and uses us for His glory.
True love for God requires giving our all to Him.
God first proved His love for us when He sacrificed His only begotten son for our sakes.
Today is a day when many people across the world profess love to each other in different ways and manners. But the question is how much of that love is really true, because true love requires sacrifice.
Abraham proved his love for God when he willingly obeyed God and placed his beloved son on the altar of sacrifice.
As Abraham proved the sincerity of his love, it connected him to God’s sworn blessing that dramatically lifted his generation.
The power of sacrifice is clearly exhibited as captivity-turning in Psalm 126, when those who went forth bearing tearful seeds, returned rejoicing, with cheerful harvests.
Sacrifice is the way to provoke the invasion of glory in our lives. Our sincere sacrifice of time, energy and resources into God’s kingdom has the capacity to give us a positive change of story.
But above all, God desires that we offer ourselves as living sacrifices.
Becoming a living sacrifice means that we are living for God and His kingdom alone. It means that nothing is ever too much to lay down for the sake of God and His kingdom. When we become so committed, God glory invades our lives in unprecedented dimensions.
Therefore today, while the world celebrates different versions of love, let us show our true love for God by committing to a lifestyle of living for Him and seeking His Kingdom above all else.
PRAYER; Lord, please help me to continually present my life, my time, recourses and all I have to You. May my entire life be dedicated to serving You and the interest of Your kingdom in everything I do and wherever I go in Jesus Name.
