[Monday's Devotional] - My Boss Cologne

On 16^th August, 2011, on my way from holiday in Tenerife, my wife bought me a supersized jar of Boss Cologne as a present.  After only using it several months, the jar accidentally dropped on the carpet, head first. From that day I couldn't spray the Cologne onto my body. What a sad thing to watch my favourite Cologne trapped in the bottle every day!

On Saturday 17^th November, 2012, almost a year later, I was reading an article in a favourite Christian Magazine about how a dear Brother in Christ was in a similar situation. The door of his private jet had a defect and wouldn't open when he desperately needed to fly home after a hectic preaching day. So he asked God's Holy Spirit for a word of wisdom to speak to the door and got the result he wanted. He was following Jesus' example in Mark 11 vs 12 – 14 who spoke to a fig tree that wouldn't give Him some fruit when He was hungry.

Well, I too decided to follow Jesus' example. I asked the Holy Spirit for a suitable word and spoke to the bottle:

"Cologne bottle, hear the Word of the living God. It is written, all things shall work together, for the good of those called according to His purpose. Squirting mechanism, I command you in Jesus' Name - work together and give me my daily puff of Cologne!"

Guess what? Since 17^th November 2012, I have been using my favourite Boss Cologne whenever I want it!

Like Jesus, when you face an obstacle in your daily mission, ask the Father for an appropriate breakthrough Word and speak to the situation.
