YOUR SACRIFICE OF PRAISE

Hebrews 13:15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise —the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. (NIV)

One of the responsibilities of a priest is to offer sacrifices. In the old testament the priests offered the blood of animals as sacrifice for sins or offering to God. 

The old testament High priests were selected from among the Levites to offer sacrifices. 
Hebrews 5:1 Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

In the new testament we don't offer sacrifice for sins because Jesus offered Himself once and for all as the ultimate sacrifice for sins. That doesn't mean we the testament priests don't offer sacrifice. One of the sacrifices we offer to God is the sacrifice of praise, and we do this through the Lord Jesus Christ. 
Hebrews 13:15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise —the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

When we profess or confess the wonders and works of His Name with our lips it is a sacrifice of praise. When we worship Him and tell of His goodness and kindness it is a sacrifice of praise. And we should do this continually. 

As a priest of God that you are, you have a responsibility to offer sacrifices to God every day, and one of such sacrifices is the sacrifice of praise. You need to set time aside to do this every day. It's not a time to make request of God but a time to praise Him profusely. Giving Him your full attention as you render the sacrifice of your lips, speaking forth His goodness, greatness, kindness and grace; blessing His holy Name through the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
Other sacrifices you should also offer are the sacrifices of soul winning and intercession. 

PRAYER

Lord of heaven and earth you are indeed God. You are the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You are the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. You are holy, your Name is holy, your Word is righteous and pure. I praise you for the works of your hands, your love is displayed in all of creation, Lord your Name is hallowed! Hallelujah!
