BY MASTERPIECE DAVID OLAWADE
One of the adverts that gave coca-cola an unusual publicity that stormed the world says “share a coke with someone”. I believe this should also be our goal, “SHARE JESUS WITH AT LEAST SOMEONE A DAY”.
No believer is stranded at any time; you always have a taste of Jesus to share per time.
“O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him”- Psalms 34:8.
Our God tastes good, in His sauce lies the spices of salvation, healings, deliverance, prosperity, miracles and so on. He makes us in His image so we are to taste like Him.
Our taste should be able to invite as many as possible to the Lord’s table; enough of we presenting a tasteless God to people. God has made the invite to everyone to come and give Him a taste but He can’t come down from heaven to convince men. He gave us the responsibility to present this taste to those around us.
“Is there iniquity in my tongue? Cannot my taste discern perverse things”- Job 6:30
The taste board of the world is hyper-active, they know and can discern what tastes good or bad. Many believers taste bad, when an unbeliever approaches them; what they taste is greed, selfishness, envy, anger, lust and other dead works.
They have allowed these pollute their sauce; they have replaced God’s ingredients of love, healing, salvation with dead works.
That a man discusses how a food tastes does not mean he can present a tasteful food. That you preach about rightful living does not mean you are living right.
“How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth”- Psalms 119:103
It is only when a man feels his own taste that he can be tasteful to others.
No wonder when we prepare our delicacies, we first taste it before offering others. When Isaiah saw the way the angels were crying holy, holy, holy, he then saw his own filthiness. He no longer saw the congregation, he saw himself as a man that needs to taste holy.
A food that tastes good does not beg men to take more of it; you automatically desire more of it. Likewise, a man that tastes good does not beg for attention or ministration.
Jesus tasted good; no wonder multitudes followed him from town to town. John the Baptist was in the wilderness yet the people wanted more taste from his life.
People care less about where a food is prepared, what they care more about is how the food tastes. In the same vein, people don’t care about where you are or where you are from, what they care about is what and how you taste.
IF YOU LOSE YOUR SAVIOUR, YOU LOSE YOUR SAVOUR.“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost his savour, where with shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men”- Matthew 5:13
Our savour is gotten from our savior; in Him are all the ingredients we need to taste. God has called everyman to give taste to this tasteless world but if we lose our taste by disconnecting from His presence, we are good for nothing and thus useless.
What we need to taste good dwells in His presence. When we are in His presence, something robs on us. Ingredients are dropped into our lives and we come out tasting as the best delicacy to meet the need of mankind.
When God cooks us in His presence, everyone comes to smell the aroma.
