Get Dressed:
[Luk 12:35-36 NLT] 35 "Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 as though you were waiting for your master to return from the wedding feast. Then you will be ready to open the door and let him in the moment he arrives and knocks.
*Jesus desires for me to have an expectant watchfulness for His return.
[Eph 6:11 NLT] 11 Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.
*How to Put the Armor of God On? You put on the full armor of God by believing what God has done for you through Jesus Christ (Eph. 1-3) and by living out the elements of the armor in every area of your life (Eph. 4-5).
[Gen 41:14 NLT] 14 Pharaoh sent for Joseph at once, and he was quickly brought from the prison. After he shaved and changed his clothes, he went in and stood before Pharaoh.
*Be ready for God to give you favor and open doors.
He didn’t allow culture or circumstances to stop him from walking into his destiny.
2. Smell right: Spiritual Power has a scent
It’s been said that success has a scent!
How do hotels use scent marketing?
As A.B. Simpson once put it, “Preaching without spiritual aroma is like a rose without fragrance. We can only get the perfume by getting more of Christ.”
[Psa 45:8 NLT] 8a Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume your robes. In ivory palaces the music of strings entertains you.
[Mat 26:6-8 NLT] 6 Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy. 7 While he was eating, a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar of expensive perfume and poured it over his head. 8 The disciples were indignant when they saw this. "What a waste!" they said.
*Remember: the resurrected Christ has a scent. He emits the everlasting fragrance of resurrection.
3. Live Biblically: Embrace the Divine Design
Daniel 11:32 New King James Version (NKJV) 32 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall [a]corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.
