Unacceptable sacrifice
Genesis 4:3-7
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

This story is a popular story among Christians and is with a lot of deep understanding, the story was talking about two brothers that make sacrifice to God but God didn't accept the one for Cain and accept the one for Abel. Cain sacrifice was not acceptable and not that it was not Good. This happened everyday in Christian's life because we are offering unacceptable sacrifice.
We have so some many Christians this days that are not living according to God's way, their hearts are not fully with God and Satan is using different things to disconnect them God so that their sacrifice won't be acceptable. God loves all and he want love in return and with love and respect our sacrifice with will be accepted.
We have some people going to church late and after getting there late they will press phone till they leave the church on Sunday even when people are dancing and worshipping God they still keep press the phone but when they want to pray they will close their eyes holding their phone hoping to receive quick answers. This type of prayer may not be answered and the sacrifice, not that is not good but is not acceptable to God.
We all know what we doing that is disturbing us from connecting with God, stop giving God unacceptable sacrifice, work on your relationship with God so that your sacrifice will be accepted, don't let worldly thing stop you from seeing the kingdom of God. God will help us in Jesus name.
Thanks for your time.
