Do It Now

What idea has come to your mind recently? Have you experienced a good thought that looks strange? Sometimes, it may look unbelievable and unattainable to you and those who surround you. It may not look to you as achievable that is not the problem. The Creator of Heaven and Earth may be behind it.

As the sole Owner of authority in heaven and earth, He reigns in the affairs of mankind; He uses man to achieve what He intends to do.

Note that every good ideas are not God's ideas. So, do not take every good ideas that comes to your heart as God's ideas. God's ideas are different. One common truth or feature of God's ideas is that it attracts doubts and strong opposition from within and without.

For instance, I read, many years ago, that the man who invented the first transistor radio was called "a mad man" by his closet friends to whom he disclosed his idea of "a means of communication without using wire."

Today, who was right?

The idea owner had proved his friends wrong of madness accusation. He was sure of what he had conceived as an idea. We are now witnesses of communication without connecting wires at a higher dimension today. Mankind will continue to improve on it.

So it was with a female disciples of Jesus in His days.

What happened?

The Lord who knows the end of everything from the beginning dropped a memorable idea into a woman's heart which she embraced without questioning it. What was the idea that ended becoming a deed that turned to be a memorial forever to her credit?

The Holy Bible discloses,
Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair.
And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. " John 12 :3.

How could she conceive the idea of doing this if All-knowing God had not given her the idea? He knew before hand that she would execute the idea without any delay. She did not disappoint her God ; she took immediate steps.

As is the feature of all God's ideas, this idea was also met with a strong resistance and condemnation thus,
" Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?" John 12:5.

Can you see clearly the ever ready opposition between God's ideas and good ideas?

The two are always heading towards different directions. Good ideas support selling expensive oil for the purpose of giving the proceeds to the poor and needy. According to the "agent of resistant", there was another hidden negative idea in him.

What was the evil idea?

The Holy Bible discloses,
"This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief; and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it. " John 12:6.

The One who gave her the grace to conceive the idea did not leave her in the hands of enemies of God's idea, He said,
"Let her alone; She has kept this for the day of my burial.
For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always". verse 7

This singular idea wrote her (Mary's) name on "a diamond plague". It becomes an unforgettable exercise forever.

Jesus says,
"Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her." Matt 26:13.

Can you see clearly now how God idea sown as a small seed in the heart of Mary germinated and grew into an everlasting tree? I have read the story. You have heard it, at least, by reading this piece. I never saw Mary nor do you but we have heard or read about her.

Do you have any good idea dropped into your heart. Do not kill it with your negative mental reasoning. Do not advertise it to idea or vision murderers who surround you. It is exclusively reserved for you to carry out. You can seek help of people but be careful not to reveal your God-given ideas to those who will kill it in the womb.

One thing worthy of note is the fact that if God gives you an idea, He will provide you with ways and means of bringing it into fruition.

Be careful of the way you handle every God-given ideas, it is fragile!
Stay blessed and prepared for the imminent coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
NOTE FOR SALVATION
"The father loves the Son and has put everything into his hands.
And anyone who believes in God's Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn't
obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remain under God's
angry judgment" John 3:35-36
