Anointed by a Sinful Woman

Pastor Prince had just returned from sharing the gospel at Hillsong UK, he told us yesterday that in the mid of his preaching, he felt strongly in his spirit to share this. I found it so beautiful that I like to share with you too.

In the book of Luke, Luke 7:37-38 ‘When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume, and stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.’

In the book of Mark, Mark 14:3 ‘While he(Jesus) was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.’

Mark 14:4 ‘Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages …”

In the book of John, John 12:1-3 ‘Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.’

Lord got Pastor Prince to share this story to a certain lady out there, who was feeling very sinful and want a word from the Lord. Lord said, “As she lay on her back to work the wages, her sinful act earned little by little of the perfume. All her sins were on that jar of perfume. When she poured it on Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus took over her sins and she was being made whole and pure in His presence.”

Lord sharing is so beautiful. Yes, no matter how sinful you are, Daddy God wants you to come back to Him. Through Lord Jesus, He washed you so cleaned that Holy Spirit can dwell in you to be your comforter, to lead you walk in the Righteousness of God in Christ, so that Daddy God could pour His blessings on you.

Such a wonderful Daddy, where in the world could you find? Don’t doubt over Him anymore! Whatever you feel bad about yourself, tell Daddy God to take over and handle for you. He surely will help you and free you. Believe in the Goodness of Him as written in the bible. As you walk more into this righteousness of faith, blessings will sure come chasing after you, as it is a result of your believe in Lord Jesus died on the cross and rose again for you.

Father God, Lord Jesus, in the Name of Jesus, may You break the veil that are covering the hearts of your children of God. May they see Your Goodness from the bible and come close to You. I pray in Jesus Name. Amen!
