INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, April 30, 2026 Topic: AROMA THAT APPEALS (Part 2)! Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" - Matthew 5:16 NIV‬ Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭2 Corinthians 2:15-16 NIV 15. ‭For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16. To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task? INSPIRATION: When you brew coffee, its real aroma comes out. Pressure brings out your true essence and determines what stuff you're made of. Societal culture and expectations may shape your lifestyle but the aroma you give off afterwards is uniquely rooted in who you are! Who are you when the going is good or when it is tough? What's your tenacity threshold when life exerts on you? Do you buckle or soar? You don't really know your true worth until you are put under intense pressure. Under pressure you perform better or worse but real pressure is meant to bring out the treasure in you! Sometimes, your aroma are your inbuilt qualities that come through unannounced. It is what people perceive and can relate to. It isn't about you trying to impress, it's a natural flow that you can't control. That's your true essence. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: ‭‭Under pressure, you perform better or worse, but it reveals your true nature. PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to give off the kind of sweet aroma that's a replica of the life you lived and called us to. I want to be Christ-like in all I do, say or represent. Help me to exhibit grace and virtue that draws men to your saving knowledge, in Jesus name.
