“I OFFER UP MY SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO YOU LORD”
“I will bless the Lord at all times; his PRAISE shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, MAGNIFY the Lord with me, and let us EXALT his name together! I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.” Ps. 34:1-22
My friends “There’s a place in heaven prepared for me When the TOILS OF THIS LIFE IS OVER Where the saints are clothed in white Before the throne SINGING PRAISES forever, forever more” It all sounds good my friends but we have to realize the TOILS OF THIS LIFE is not over.
For we still have work to do while there is still daylight and God’s presence is still manifested in a world where the light of His Spirit grows dimmer each day as we move closer to his second coming. As God’s chosen we must become ambassadors of God’s Word, as we carry out Christ Commission to go and tell those with no hope of Gods promises in Isaiah 25:8-9 which states
“God will swallow up death one day in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation in a place that
“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for 
them that love him. 1 Cor. 2:9 My friends let us continually OFFER UP OUR SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO GOD by proclaiming the grace, and mercy of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
So as we continue our journey to the promise land. Let’s all do as the demoniac who became a living testimony for Christ, as those around him witnessed the transformation from the touch of the Master’s hand.
Mark 5:19-20 tells us The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled.”
My friends “Whoever OFFERS PRAISES GLORIFIES ME; And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.” Ps 50:23 As you look over your life, what does God really mean to you? And where has he brought you from?
And as you contemplate your answers remind yourself of the high cost that was paid for your Salvation, and the only thing that God ask in return is a sincere and contrite heart that has been transformed into his Character. So now “let us offer up A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO GOD continually” and “make confession to his name.” as we spread the good news of Christ soon return.
But we must also remember that A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO GOD is not just something we have become accustomed to when we go to Church and stand up, waving our hands back and forth. But A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO GOD is what we are in Christ as a Child of the King.
For “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by 
faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” Gal 2:20 So today my Friends our SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO GOD is our TIME, TALENTS, MONEY, and most of all our MIND, and BODIES as we move closer and closer to Christ soon return.
Remember my friends Our Savior is “the light of the world. Whoever follows Christ will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” And as we take on the Character and image of Christ we become LIGHT BEARERS for Him as we OFFER UP A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO GOD, TODAY TOMORROW and throughout ETERNITY
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
