Abel faith that still speaks (Part 1)

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
(Hebrews:11:4 kJV).
By this scripture we see that though Abel is long dead yet his deed of faith speaks to the body of Christ till now. What then does it speaks?
Often time Christians wonder from the natural standpoint what does the faith of Abel speaks to the church today and the world in general, see the Holy Spirit would not have you ignorant.
Abel and Cain, Abel a keeper of livestock (livestock rearer) and Cain tiller of the ground (Farmer), both brother of the same mother (Eve) and father (Adam), yet when it was time for both of them to worship and bring an offering to God, God accepted one (Abel) and rejected the other (Cain); God declared one righteous the other unrighteous.
What then? Is God a respecter of persons, No, there is no partiality with God.
Cain brought to God as offering best fruits of the land: ripe, colorful, without blemish and sweet fruits; Cain did not bring rotten apples, rotten pineapples, rotten yam and fruits of the land to God, because the bible said: Abel offered a 'MORE EXCELLENT" sacrifice than Cain, see Cain sacrifice to God was EXCELLENT as per to what a man (farmer) would ever offer to God, but God rejected Cain sacrifice and declare him to be unrighteous before Him because it was not done by faith, and we see that Abel had faith (revelation) of what God will accept as a sweet aroma of burnt offering and by faith he offered a more excellent sacrifice to God and God declared him righteous and accepted his offering; you see Abel had faith (Revelation) that it is not the fruit of the land no matter how sweet and pleasant is it can be accepted by God, it is in the "blood, firstborn of the sheep"
By faith (by revelation) Abel offered; God must have spoken to Abel by one means as to what he should bring as sacrifice; WHAT THEN, DOES CAIN NOT HEAR GOD? we also see that Cain too hear God as good enough as Abel hears God;

"And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? Genesis:4:6"
You see that God also speaks to Cain too.
What then does Abel faith teach us, what does it speaks to us today?
