BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 2; Proverbs 3; James 4; James 5
MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:4: By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: Giving and sacrifice are capable of opening spectacular doors.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: Receive the grace to give sacrificially, in the name of Jesus.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 4:4-10
4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, 5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
6 So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is [a]for you, but you should rule over it.”
8 Now Cain [b]talked with Abel his [c]brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?”
He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.
PRAISE & WORSHIP
MFM Devotional 4 August 2026 – MESSAGE
Today, we begin a series on the heroes of faith as found in the book of Hebrews 11. A hero is someone that others look up to, someone whose actions are worthy of emulation. We will be looking at these people whose faith we ought to emulate as Christians.
The first spot in Hebrews 11 is occupied by Abel. Abel is known as the first martyr in the Bible. Genesis 4:4-10 outlines his example of faith. He offered an acceptable sacrifice to God and he was accepted in the sight of God.
First, let us look at the nature of the sacrifice. Abel offered a blood sacrifice while Cain offered a fruit sacrifice. When Adam and Eve sinned and realised they were naked, God clothed them with animal skin before sending them out of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:21). From this, it is assumed that God killed an animal to use its skin, so blood was shed.
Right from the fall, blood became a weapon of atonement until the blood of Jesus was shed as the ultimate sacrifice. Abel offered this blood. Probably this was why his sacrifice was accepted.
However, beyond offering the firstling of his flock, God saw Abel’s heart. The Bible says that God had respect unto Abel and to his offering – Abel first, then, his offering. What do we learn from Abel’s faith? Every offering to God, be it financial offerings, your time, your service, your life, and so on, must be perfect. Let us not offer to God as though He were a beggar; let us offer in full understanding that He owns all our resources and we are privileged to be made custodians.
Beloved, the Bible says that a man’s gift will make room for him (Proverbs 18:16). Every offering we bring to God with a righteous heart is an act of faith. This, coupled with our faith in Jesus, makes room for us in the sight of God.
