Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place (2 Corinthians 2:14).

Are you emitting the sweet aroma of Jesus to every place that you travel?

From the moment we believe in Jesus and are declared righteous until the instant that we are fully conformed to His image, we are triumphant in Christ. Paul reminds us, “we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). In 2 Corinthians 2:14, the apostle depicts the imagery of a Roman general who had just experienced triumph over his enemies and would subsequently lead a victorious procession. It was a custom in Paul’s day that the triumphal procession would be accompanied by the release of sweet smells from the burning spices in the streets. Our Christians lives should also emit the sweet aroma of Jesus.

Employment Point: Dispense the aroma of Jesus to every location where He leads you.
