Why is money important in a sacrifice?

Another meaning of the word SACRIFICE is the surrender of something prized.
In Church, it is very common for us to hear people saying that they have surrendered their body, soul and spirit on the Altar. However, in most cases, we do not see God's answer materialize in their lives. Why is this? It’s simple. We have two legs to help us get where we want to go. When we walk, we put all of our weight over the left leg, while the right leg moves forward. Then we put all of our weight on the right leg, while the left leg moves forward, right? The same happens when we sacrifice: one leg represents the spiritual part and the other leg represents the material part. Many place all of their strength on the spiritual part – they fast, pray, turn away from sin – but are afraid to act on their faith, rejecting the Altar, which belongs to the body, soul and spirit, this is, the material sacrifice.
"So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple." Luke 14.33
The surrender on the Altar means that we are aware that everything we have: house, car, money, children, husband, wife etc., does not belong to us – it is only with us as a loan that God may ask us for at anytime and we should be ready to surrender it to Him on the Altar, even though it may cost us to sacrifice.
"O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own." 1 Chronicles 29.16
You may ask me: Why is money important in a sacrifice?
We have often seen in the news, mothers giving their children up for adoption because they claim that they are unable to raise them, but have you ever seen a mother give a box filled with millions of dollars to someone, claiming that she can no longer take care of that "poor" green paper? That’s right. It is possible to live without children, a husband, family, but not without money because we need it to survive. What we had, what we have and we will have, once surrendered on the Altar, in the hands of God, symbolizes what we were, what we are and what we will be on the Altar.
If you do not want to depend on anyone like a crutch, just on yourself and God, in order to obtain your accomplishments, whatever they may be, then use your faith on the Altar with both legs of sacrifice - spiritual and material. This way, you will not only walk, but you will run in the direction of your successes.
Think!
God bless you.
