Sacrifice can be defined as giving something

that is costly to someone else or to a cause.

 Sacrifice as a Personal Value
• It can be in form of time.
• It can be in form of energy.
• It can be in form of service.
• It is always propelled by deep love
and sense of responsibility.
 Sacrifice as a Personal Value
• Sacrifice comes with cheerfulness.
• Any giving or service
that does not cost
you deeply and
personally is not
sacrificial.
 Benefits of Sacrifice
• Sacrifice is pleasing to God. –Hebrews 13:16.

Luke 6:38.
• Whatever cause you sacrifice
time, resources and energy
on ultimately becomes successful
and is accompanied by reward.
Winston Churchill
 Developing The Value of Sacrifice

• To develop sacrifice as a
personal value, you will
have to do some things repeatedly.
Developing The Value of Sacrifice
• What you don’t do, you don’t
become.
• Practice giving things
of value to others.

Developing The Value of Sacrifice
• Practice devotion of quality time,
energy and other
resources on worthy
causes, even if it is not
convenient to do so.
• “We are what we repeatedly do.” –
Aristotle.
 Conclusion
• Sacrifice is core if
you must make impact in life.
• If you live only for your ration,
you are without a function.
 Conclusion
•“There is no star without a scar
and the scar of every star
is sacrifice.”
-David Oyedepo
