What God Expects From You, in Short
Sunday, July 19, 2026
Message: Murderer or Priest? — Dr Raoul Wafo
Base Scriptures: Revelation 5:10; John 8:44
This message is meant to be short, but it invites each of us to a sincere examination of the heart. It is not a condemnation — it is a loving reminder from a Father who wants the best for His children.
Two Inseparable Offices: King and Priest
Revelation 5:10 reveals God's plan for us: we are made kings and priests. These two offices cannot be separated.
To reign is to manifest God's plans and glory on the earth, our place of mission. But there is no true kingship, in the divine sense, without a priesthood exercised alongside it. Our reign is only possible through the exercise of our priesthood.
To be a priest is to bring God sacrifices: our time, part of what we own, our skills, our investment in others within a specific area.
The Two Dimensions of Sacrifice
It's essential to understand that priesthood involves two distinct dimensions, and God alone holds the key to both:
- The nature of the sacrifice — what God specifically asks us to give up and bring to Him (our time, part of our possessions, a skill, an ability, a particular act of surrender).
- The place, sector, or domain — where and in what sphere He expects that sacrifice to be laid down (a person, a work, a cause, a specific context).
God chooses both what He asks of us and where we are to bring it. Getting either dimension wrong — bringing the right thing to the wrong place, or the wrong thing to the right place — falls short of what God truly expects from us.
The Soul, Foundation of Everything
Before speaking of sacrifice, we must speak of the heart, because the soul is the foundation of everything. Dr Raoul Wafo emphasized certain traps to avoid — true warning signs of a heart still far from what God expects:
- Hatred
- Covetousness and envy — never to be tolerated
- Greed — which breeds dissatisfaction and rivalry, and is murderous to the soul
- Unforgiveness
1 John 3:15 is unambiguous on this. Hence the importance of regularly examining our hearts to make the necessary adjustments.
The Priest's 3 C's
For a sacrifice to be received, three things must be watched: the heart, the body, and the cause — that is, the real motivation behind the offering. Are we seeking to please God, or to please people?
God does not first look at the sacrifice we bring, but at the heart that brings it. And He never exceeds the measure of our sacrifices in blessing us.
Genesis 22 reminds us: it is sacrifice that opens heaven. It validates God's promises over our lives — without it, we will never see what has been promised to us.
Love Is Proven, Not Declared
The message also reminded us that authentic love rests on four pillars: passion (born in the secret place, not on stage), faithfulness, trust, and sacrifice. Without these four elements, there is no true love.
If we have never seen someone perform a sacrificial act toward us, we cannot claim they love us. And Job 42:10 teaches us that our real love for God is measured by the compassion we have for others — but also by our capacity to speak truth to them, without flattery.
A priest stands in the gap: interceding for others, standing for God, and carrying truth with full integrity.
In Conclusion
Man looks at appearances, but God looks at the heart. Only by living out both kingship and priesthood — in nature and in place — can our true identity in God be fully expressed on earth.
What God expects from you, in short: reign by manifesting His glory, and sacrifice what He asks, where He asks it — with a pure heart.
Stay courageous, God is with you.
