THE TRUTH ABOUT CAIN’S OFFERING


Since I was a little boy, I have been reading and hearing about cain and abel but what never really occurred to me was the real reason why God decided not to accept cain’s offering. At that time there were no laws regarding offering to God so the million dollar Question is this, which law did cain break?
But now I know better! Because the truth of God’s word comes only through personal revelation. Let’s scrutinize the scriptures that cover this particular story meticulously.
3 When it was time for the harvest, Cain presented SOME of his crops as a gift to the LORD.
 4 Abel also brought a gift—THE BEST of the firstborn lambs from his flock. The LORD ACCEPTED Abel and his gift,
 5 but He DID NOT ACCEPT Cain and his gift. This made Cain very angry, and he looked dejected.

                                                                                                           Gen4:3-5(NLT)

Now it gets clear doesn’t it? Hilarious indeed! I have been reading these scriptures since I was a boy but never got the understanding until now. You know people could also have other revelations concerning this scripture. I have also concurred that one of the reasons why God did not accept Cain’s offering was the fact that God had earlier cursed the ground, and Cain brought forth SOME crops from a CURSED ground! Okay now tell me that’s not insulting enough for our BIG Daddy up there.
Same applies to present day Christians. How do you give offerings, praises, worship and thanks to Big daddy? Do you give him SOME out of convenience or THE BEST out of reverence?
