Matthew 26:13
¹³Verily 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.
The woman in this passage extravagantly expressed her love for Jesus which was frowned upon by the disciples and those around. This alabaster box of perfume cost her a years wages but God did not overlook her sacrifice much as others despised her actions. To this day she is spoken of whenever we read the Bible because she loved much.
Child of God, there is so much you have sacrificed in your salvation walk with God and yes many have despised you for it, rumors have circulated round about you but God is not unrighteous that He will forget your labour of love that you do minister. It will be told as a memorial of you.
Hebrews 11:5
⁵By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
There are very few verses we see speaking of Enoch,a one of them is that he simply walked with God.
Genesis 5:24
²⁴And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
This appears to be a minor statement and can easily be overlooked by one reading the Bible however God testifies of him saying, “This one I am pleased with, he is too good for the world let me take him with me.” Ask yourself what kind of man that was! It is until you do further reading that you understand why God gave this testimony about him. Enoch gave himself completely to walk with God, that was the sacrifice he made.
Extra biblical texts show that the fallen angels pleaded with Enoch to intercede for them to God (spirits cannot repent unfortunately), of all the people(beings) in heaven, the 24 elders, the cherubims that covered the tabernacle, these fallen angels sought out the man Enoch to intercede for them because of the relationship he had with God. What is man (insert your name) that you are mindful of him indeed!
Ask yourself whenever your epistle is read, or whenever your name is mentioned either in your service at home, at church, or your work place, intrinsically ask if you leave a mark for a memorial?
2 Corinthians 3:2
²Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
We read from the book of Genesis how Esau despised his birthright and gave it away to Jacob because he did not understand his purpose. Do not take for granted the gift that has been given unto you.
1 Timothy 4:14
¹⁴Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
Just because it has not yet become big does not mean it is not brewing. Your smile could be what God has chosen to heal diseases (God is good like that) but every time you meet people you suppress it because your carnal mind tells you that you are being too friendly or there will be familiarity. No, embrace who you are because that is who God made you to be. Who ever thought a snap of a finger could heal disease? But there is a testimony in TMS that it does.
Child of God do not try to change anything about you. That which you may think is insignificant or despised by others is what God wants to use to glorify Himself in you because you are reverently and wonderfully made.
If you think there’s anything that doesn’t glorify God about you, allow God to do a work in you. He is the husbandman after all.
John 15:1-2
¹I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. ²Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Prophetic Utterance:
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
I manifest the works of God to the world.
I am a wonder unto many .
My message is heard to the ends of the earth and that is my memorial.
I’ve come in the volume of the book, it is written about me; to do Your will Oh Lord.
