Extravagant Love
Extravagant Love
Extravagant love is pleasant to others. (John 12:3)
“And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.”
The whole house was filled with the fragrance, not just the room in which they were seated. Her gift had an effect on everyone who was present.
Sooner or later everyone would know what had been offered. Even those who were outside would know what had been offered within.
When we give ourselves to Jesus the aroma is powerful. When a congregation is made up of committed Christians who are willing to give everything they have to Jesus, the scent is inviting. That is what I love about Calvary Church, Prestatyn.
Even those outside of these walls become drawn to the fragrance within.
The people outside of these walls that are starving for truth and life! Don’t be deceived, people hunger for worship and if they are not drawn to the TRUTH, they will settle for the counterfeit. This is why we see highly educated men and women with crystals around their necks in hopes of getting in touch with something beyond themselves and their sad existence. They are starving for HIM, not stories about HIM. And when God’s people give their very best to HIM the aroma will draw people to HIM.
Tommy Tenny, God Chasers, “People don’t sense God’s presence in our gatherings because it’s just not there sufficiently enough to register on our gauges.”
God inhabits the praises of His people…When we bring the sacrifice of praise, the fragrance is attractive.
Don’t wait for someone else to do it before you do it.
Just like Mary did, we encourage one another with our sacrifice.
When we hear of someone else’s sacrifice it encourages us to do more for Him. You be that person. Bring your best to HIM. Let Him inhabit your praises!
A God honoring offering is not just precious to us; it is pleasant to others.
Have a great day John
