The fat portion is belongs to God.

Genesis 4:3-7 NKJV

And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord . Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 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 for you, but you should rule over it.”

Shalom! Day #47. Do you know that our God is not a vegeteranian? Let's pray. Father, we commit yourself into Your loving hands. Thank You for love and Your mercy. Lord, help us to give our best to you in everything we do, in worship, serving, offerings. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen.

There is a joke and it goes like this, why God did not accept Cains offering? Because God is not a vegetarian. Hahaha. The Greek word this act of offering, giving thanks is AINESIS, means a thanks offering. Both the brothers offered their offerings of thanks unto God by their first fruits. When we bring the sacrifices before God, make sure we offer to God the best sacrifice ever. The bible says, we are a living sacrifice, a sweet aroma, pleasing to God. God is looking for those who are willing to sacrifice the best FAT PORTIONS of his first fruits. Again, God is not a vegetarian. Bringing vegetables to God is not going to produce and sweet aroma. In giving our second best to God, is not gonna be the best sacrifice from us. Be it in worship, giving thanks, our tithes, Give the best fat portion to God.

And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 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 for you, but you should rule over it.” Sometimes we get mad at God, for not blessing us. The problem is us and not God.

Romans 12:1 NKJV
I  beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which  is your reasonable service.

When you present yourself before God as living sacrifice, your are ought to give the best ever you can give. God gave His one and only Son. We are to give ourselves totally to Him. Abel gave the best and later was murdered. When you give your best, for sure there will be hindrances. The devil doesn't like if we give the best to God. Sin lies at the door and its desire is for you.... Rule over is and not be defeated by it. When you give your best to God, He respects you. You want to be respected by God? Then give your best. Humble yourself before the King of all kings and He shall lift you up in the eyes of His people.

Let us be the sweet aroma, living out the life of Christ through us. Your fat portions belongs to God.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
