MATTHEW 26: 6-7 KJV
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper.There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat."
Are you offering the most precious perfume unto His feet or is it that all that you lay at His feet is stench? Putrid smell. When was the last time you broke before The King of kings and the Lord of Lords?
Who broke you? God or enemy? We need to understand our breaking can either come from God, so that He can rebuild and reshape us after the image of His son, or it can also come from the enemy to make us bitter and sardonic heading towards destruction.
Beloved, whenever God breaks you, simple derivation of the fact is that you're chosen. God is a good businessman, He never does anything that's not kingdom - oriented or do you and me good . Our character might have been shaped by many factors, like the family we're born in and the environment we grew up in, friends we made, situations we went through so much taking place in our lives one after the other so that by the time we meet God or encounter God, we are like the earth formless and void (Genesis 1:2) and that's why God has to hover over us now and call forth the light out of us. And when we realise the importance of allowing God to break us, then now the potter starts moulding, shaping and designing us into the vessel fit for His use.
This breaking is like being burnt in the fire, being hammered, being smashed into pieces like a bottle of perfume. Ah, the fragrance that comes out. Now that fragrance is like an offering of sweet aroma offered unto the LORD.
Remember beloved, the Lord's breaking will always make you into a better version of you, into a vessel of honour- the crockery that we bring out upon the arrival of a respected guest.
The breaking will purge out all the impurities that we were carrying unforgiveness, anger, bitterness, lust, jealousy, evil speech, every form of malicious behaviour. But as we're being broken every time and surrender the filth before the Lord and the scent that oozes out is far more valuable than any Gucci, Versace or Chanel perfume. That scent pleases the LORD.
Our heart that was contaminated until we came in the hands of God is now exuding sweet smelling aroma not only to God but even unto the people around us. And that's exactly what our Master wants. A bottle of Alabaster Perfume. To be spreading His smell wherever we go so that any negativity, darkness or putridity prevailing anywhere be doused off just by the scent that we're giving out. This scent carries His presence. And wherever His presence is, all evil and wickedness disappears .
PRAYER: FATHER PURGE US FROM EVIL AND IMPURITY. MAKE US THE PEOPLE CARRYING YOUR PRESENCE BY ALLOWING THE SWEET SCENT COMING OUT FROM US BY YOUR WORKMANSHIP.
IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE PRAY.
AMEN. AMEN. AMEN.!!!
