The Nose of God

 “And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor.” Ephesians 5:2

Denial – Spirit does not have a physical nose.

Affirmation – My nose is the nose of God. 

Your sense of smell is the strongest of all your senses (I Corinthians 12:12-18). You remember what you smell over what you hear or what you see. Aroma therapy is so popular because inhaling essential oils stimulates the olfactory system, the part of the brain connected to smell, including the nose. Through your sense of smell you can change your entire mood. Just as your natural nose can decipher the flavor of food before you even taste it, your spiritual nose discerns what is best for you. 

Jesus, as Wayshower, was always sniffing out opportunities to love.  He was able to discern when people were sincere about healing their bodies and changing their lives. Jesus also knew when people like the Pharisees and Sadducees were not serious about their holistic health and development. His sense of smell was not used to judge people but to empower him to make the best use of his time, talents, and treasure. 

When your soul is in alignment with your spirit, your nose becomes the nose of God and your sense of discernment is keen. You can decipher people’s intentions as well as the motives behind their words and actions. This information enables you to make quality decisions and wise choices for the greater good of all parties involved. 

Reflection Question – How can you use your discernment to make better decisions?

Giving Activity – Sniff out an opportunity to give to somebody who has a need.

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
