Giving HIM Something HE can F.E.E.L.!
Matthew 26: 6-13 NKJV
Introduction:
1976 Movie Sparkle which was about a 1958 singing group that overcame tragedy to end up in triumph. This song epitomized the love interest in the movie between Irene Cara (Sparkle) and Phillip Michael Thomas Stix. Aretha Franklin was the voice behind the song and by proxy she gave me the motivation behind what I, Me and Mine are going to do in 2024.
Aretha is letting him know.
I’m going to put in the work for it.
I’m going to put my passion in it.
WVCF Technically we are 2 months into GOD’S new year anyway.
We had a Strategic September, an Opportunity October, and Family Matters November
Now we are going to have a Deliberate and Determined December.
My Soul, My Focus will be on the ONE WHO IT SHOULD BELONG TO HIM!!!
But Some of us Need to Recalibrate 2023 wasn’t about HIM it was.
About THEM!
Proving Ourselves to THEM
Sharing Our Substance with THEM
Chasing after THEM!
About him/her!
Why didn’t he/she pick me!
What is about me he/she does not like!
Al Green “I’m so tired of being alone I’m tired and forlorn won’t help girl as soon as can!
THEY can’t help because THEY ain’t HIM!!!!
Jesus must be the focus, the reason, to get the results! Matthew 6:33
WHY HIM?
The Gospels tell us why?
John tells us that JESUS is GOD! Pre-existed, Powerful and Purposed!
Luke tells us that JESUS is the Perfect Man! He loves, He leads, and he listens!!!
Mark tells us the JESUS is a Servant! On Assignment, about his appointments and he is Anointed!
Matthew tells us that JESUS is the MESSiah! He has a MESSage for a world in a MESS!!! Jesus was anointed for handling MESS!!!
Luke 4:18.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me [a]to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are [b]oppressed;
He can handle the MESS!!!!
In our text Jesus came to deal with a Lady in a MESS!
Alabaster Box
It was extravagant, expensive, and elegant! Instead of focusing on the Denarii let’s look at.
The disappointment, disillusionment the DETERMINATION!! OF THIS woman!
What does GOD respond to?
What MOVES HIM?
What can I do as a Kingdom Citizen to make GOD FEEL me?!
How can I GLORIFY HIM?
How can I MAGNIFY HIM?
How can I LIFT HIM UP?
Wait on HIM Cater to HIM, Get away with HIM!!
She came See HIM! At his HOUSE Ps 122
She wants to hear HIM! HIS WORD! Ps 119:105
She wants HIM to Smell her Worship 2 Cor 2:15
She wants TASTE and see Psalm 34:8
She wanted to TOUCH HIM! US Heart-Love, Head -Mind, Hands-Work Luke 8:45-46
Alabaster Box: How do I know HE can FEEL IT!
- Is it Precious to YOU? V7
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.
- Does IT cause a Problem for others? V8-9
But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, to what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.
- Does it bring Pleasure to GOD? V10-11
When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
- Does it Preach to the WORLD? V12-13
For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Make HIM F.E.E.L. YOU!
FAITH, I believe HIM.
EXPECTATION I’m waiting on HIM.
