Topic: The Water Sacrifice
Text: 1 Chronicles 11: 16 - 19

Point 1: David’s mindset.

1 Ch 11:9 And David became more and more powerful, because the LORD Almighty was with him.

- David understood that it was the Lord who made his powerful.
- Everything is for the purpose of God.
- Everything is for the glory of God.


Point 2: David’s repentance

1Ch 11:19 God forbid that I should do this! he said. "Should I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives?" Because they risked their lives to bring it back, David would not drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.

- When David realised what the men had done for him, he repented.
- He counted himself unworthy of such a sacrifice.

Point 3: David’s sacrifice

1Ch 11:18 So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out before the LORD.

Two important lessons…
1… Only God is worthy of some sacrifices
2… There is no sacrifice that is too big for God
