A sweet aroma...

2 Corinthians 2:15-16 NKJV

For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one  we are  the aroma of death  leading  to death, and to the other the aroma of life  leading  to life. And who  is  sufficient for these things?

Shalom! It's tabernacle Thursday! Do you like to use perfumes? My favorite is musk. Why do we use perfumes? So that we won't stink and we would have a good smell and people loves it. What kind of aroma are we today? Lets pray. Father we want to be the sweet aroma for You, therefore help us to be one. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen.

For we are to God the fragrance of Christ. Do you know that, when God looks at us, He sees Jesus in us? We hold or carry the fragrance of Christ wherever we go. We are like a magnet which pulls people towards us. Why? It's simply because we have a sweet smell of Jesus on us. Jesus is an aroma which leads to life. People are attracted to Him because wherever He goes, whatever He does, He spreads the aroma of life.

We, the people belonging to God, ought to be different. We carry a different anointing. We have a different spirit. We are a peculiar people saperated from the world and being set apart for His kingdom purpose. Therefore, when we were saved, God has bestowed to us the Person of Jesus into our spirit.

There are 2 kinds of aroma. Aroma of death and aroma of life. Which one are you? Which one do you use? Let us be a quality that can be perceived by olfactory sense. A pleasant characteristic odor. A distinctive, intangible quality of God in us.
