When Striving To Please God Try Thysia

When you receive the Seal you will understand the importance of making sacrifices for God, just like Cain and Abel first offered the sacrifices of thysia to God. And God loved the thysia that Abel offered to Him.

The first sacrifice you will ever make as sealed is receiving the Seal. You will lay down your own life just as you have trusted in Jesus laying dow
His Life for you by dying on the cross for your sins.

When you are sealed you will give up your own life by dying under the feet of Jesus. Jesus will put you under His feet. You once were His enemy and were put under His feet. Now you are His friend.

And He will give you new Life as His friend. When you sacrifice your life in thysia by dying under the feet of Jesus He will give you new Life. He will not let you remain dead for long. He will quickly raise you up to Life.

Receiving the Seal is the beginning of your life of thysia, or sacrifice. Even though Jesus was the best and ultimate sacrifice for your sins, there are still sacrifices you will offer to God.

Jesus dies for your sins. But when you are sealed you will not depend on His sacrifice without your own. You give up your life in thysia when you are sealed. But then you lay down your life daily after that.

Jesus requires that you lay down your life in the sacrifice of thysia daily. You take up your own cross and follow Him so you are worthy of Him. When you lose your life like this you will keep your life.

When Adam and Eve had their first children, Cain and Abel arrived in the world. Cain sowed the land like his father Adam. But Abel kept flocks of sheep. And Cain and Abel felt they should offer thysia to God.

Abel took from the first-bo
of his sheep and his fatlings, and sacrificed them before God. God looked upon the thysia of Abel with Pleasure. But He did not look with Pleasure upon the sacrifice of Cain.

Cain had offered of the fruit of the ground to God. And God preferred the thysia of Abel--the sacrifice of his flocks. This is an acceptable offering to God; the offering of the best of your flocks.

But Jesus is the Good Shepherd who sacrificed Himself for His flocks. After Jesus came and sacrificed Himself as the ultimate Thysia, you too will offer an acceptable thysia to God by sacrificing yourself.

And it does not stop when you become sealed, or even when you lay your life down daily. You also sacrifice of your abundance. You give to the poor when you can. You support the ministry of the sealed.

When you give to the poor and support the ministry, you are sacrificing yourself. And God will often recognize this thysia and return His blessings of Providence upon you. That is when you will receive His Prosperance.

But you do not give just to get. You give because the poor people and the sealed messenger need what you give to them. And this is Prosperance--to be accepted by God for your thysia where you gave to those in need.

When you are sealed you will willingly sacrifice yourself often to God. So God will be pleased with you and accept you and this is how also in the beginning God will set upon you His Seal.
