Luke 7: 36-38 (NIV)

“When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.  A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. As she 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.”

Vs. 36-37

An uninvited guest; a woman; an especially wicked sinner (AMPC); researched Jesus’ whereabouts and courageously made her way to a Pharisee’s house to see and anoint Jesus.

• Lord, my challenges and background must not deter me from seeking CHRIST. Grant me grace to prevail in beautifying my MASTER.
• Grant my heart help in discerning the seasons and times so that I can step into the will of God for my life and redeem the time.
• Help me find Christ and come to HIM with my very best (life, heart, the best of my strength, time) not my leftovers.
• JESUS has come to my coast; help me know this and maximise the opportunity.

Vs. 38

She utilised all she was endowed with to worship JESUS – she stood behind Jesus; positioned herself at His feet; wet His feet with her tears; wipe His feet with her hair, kissed His feet with her mouth and poured her prized possession on His feet.

• LORD, teach me to use all that You have endowed me with to worship YOU.
• Cause my life and actions to show gratitude, devotion, reverence and care for my LORD JESUS.
• Let the scent of my life attract others to JESUS. 

Take My Life

Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use every power as Thou shalt choose.

Take my will, and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own; it shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my love, my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for Thee.

Lois And Eunice – Godly Women To Emulate

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Tuesday 11;30 am - 2:30 pm (UK time)

2^nd Timothy 1: 1 – 11 

Lois and Eunice embarked on shared-mentorship in raising Timothy and these women did a remarkable work in the life of Timothy. Paul testified of their immense contributions to what made Timothy the man that he was - 2^nd Timothy 1:5 and 3:14-15.They both passed on the “mantle of faith” that Timothy embraced all through his kingdom labour with Paul.

Lois and Eunice:

• Lois was the grandmother of Timothy while Eunice was the mother of Timothy.
• Their background emerged during Paul's second missionary journey in Acts 16:1-6.
• They both lived under the difficult circumstances of the irregular Jewish religion.
• They both maintained and passed on their faith/values despite their irreligious culture.
• They both worked tirelessly, following the meanings of their names and achieved a purpose. *Lois means 'Agreeable/Desirable' /  Eunice means 'Good-victor'*
• They were both believers based on the promise of Christ – The Messiah. 

*Eunice (Jewish woman) married a man from Greece – a man who had a background of idol-worship of Greek gods and goddesses. She stayed faithful to her marriage at Lystra and drew from her own mother's teachings in raising up a companion and co-worker for Paul, the Apostle. 

              Timothy – The result of the travailing labour of Lois and Eunice:

• Following the meaning of his name, he was victorious over the immoral environment.
• *Timothy means - “one who fears God”. 
• He was matured in faith and had a firm grasp of the scriptures based on the strong religious influence from both his mother – Eunice and his grandmother – Lois. 2^nd Timothy 3:15. 
• He exhibited the fruits of positive Christian training as testified of him by others within the same environment – Acts 16:1-2. 
• He lived and worked by an earnest faith in Christ. 2^nd Timothy 1:13-14.

Prayer:

• Lord, please, fill my life with Godly attributes that will flow effortlessly and without limitation to my children; to those around me and to everyone that is connected to me. 
• Lord, please, raise helpers for me in my walk with You. Grant me spiritual destiny helpers that are after Your heart; those that will stand as my support system in living out the truth. 
• Lord, please, help me to live for You and Your kingdom wherever I find myself. Make my life worthy of emulation in my daily walk with You. Let my labour be evident in You. 
• Lord, please, command deliverances for me in all the areas that are beclouding my vision for Your kingdom. Deliver me from all deformities in my relationship with You. 
• Lord, please, grant me an undeniable access to Your presence at all times. Release the grace that I constantly need to maintain my faith and my heavenly values in You.
