FAITH CAPSULE: Uncommon move will provoke uncommon testimony.

Luke 7:36-39, 8:41-48

“And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.”(Luke 7:37-38) A woman who was a sinner in the city knew what to do to get what she desired of the Lord. She wanted to deliver uncommon service to Jesus. In approaching Jesus, she took an uncommon route; a route that perplexed all agents of denial and she could not be denied. She took the back route to avoid the multitude. The Bible said she stood at Jesus’ feet behind Him. If this woman had attempted to stand before Jesus in her attempt to deliver her service, she probably would have been denied from getting to Jesus’ feet. It was an uncommon move that provoked an uncommon testimony. The woman’s service became a service that could not be left out without being mentioned in the pages of the Bible today. Her service became an uncommon testimony. In your service to Him, make an uncommon move and deny every force of distraction that denies provoking uncommon testimony. Just like the woman with the alabaster oil, the woman with the issue of blood also made an uncommon move when she provoked an uncommon miracle that became an uncommon testimony. “Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.” (Luke 8:43-44) Disease of twelve years took a back way approach to be terminated. The woman with the issue of blood did not have to come shouting or causing a scene before Jesus saw her. The woman with the issue of blood, just like the woman with the alabaster oil, did not do what every one did when they received their breakthrough. They both came from behind and approached Jesus where there was no distraction or frustration and where there was no way for attention seeking. They made a move that was purposeful in order for their purpose to be fulfilled. It was not an attention seeking approach but it turned out to be an uncommon approach that provoked uncommon testimony. God will give you an uncommon testimony as you serve or seek Him in Jesus Name.
