SPREADING THE FRAGRANCE OF CHRIST (2)

2Corinthians 2:14-15 (GNB)

But thanks be to God! For in union with Christ we are always led by God as prisoners in Christ’s victory procession. God uses us to make the knowledge about Christ spread everywhere like a sweet fragrance. For we are like a sweet-smelling incense offered by Christ to God, which spreads among those who are being saved and those who are being lost.

In addition to the Gospel of Christ we preach and the life of Christ we manifest, something else that makes us radiate the fragrance of Christ is our testimonies of victory.

In the King James Version, the first verse of our text above says, “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.” The Contemporary English Version says, “I am grateful that God always makes it possible for Christ to lead us to victory. God also helps us spread the knowledge about Christ everywhere, and this knowledge is like the smell of perfume.”

Every challenge you go through is simply a manufacturing process that is going to produce the fragrance of Christ from your life. As you use and yield to God’s Word and the power of His Spirit, through Christ you will triumph over that situation, more of Christ’s nature and character will develop in you, and through your testimony, people are going to be encouraged, people will praise God and people will be attracted to God. When you have this consciousness, you will remain joyful and thankful during your trials as you ask God for His wisdom and the strength of His Spirit, (James 1:2-5, Rom.5:2-5).

Prayer:
I thank you Father that I overcome my challenges by your grace and my testimonies bless people and attract them to know you.
