Dr Bob Bakke speaks about his journey in prayer, from being a pastor to leading millions of people in prayer across the world. He shares about the Global Day of Prayer, which began in Africa and has spread across the world, with millions of people coming together in prayer. He then turns to the story of Mary anointing Jesus with expensive nard, highlighting how God had foreseen this moment before the world began and had entrusted Mary with this treasure. He challenges the audience to consider what treasures God has placed in their hands and how they can offer them up at Jesus' feet to prepare the way for God's redemption of the earth.
The story of Mary anointing Jesus' feet with expensive perfume teaches us about true prayer and surrender. Mary's act was a sacrifice of love and complete surrender, risking her entire future for just a few moments of adoration. She offended everyone in the room by taking off her head covering and wiping Jesus' feet with her hair, but her love for Christ was beyond words. This kind of adoration and surrender is where true prayer begins and can transform history. We are encouraged to join in this kind of prayer and surrender, giving whatever we have to Jesus without worrying about what others think. The angels in heaven are watching and waiting for our adoration.
Dr. Bob Bakke, a man who has served the Lord for many years in various capacities, including as a minister of prayer promoting revival and spiritual vitality in a nationwide Evangelical denomination, spoke at a church about his journey through prayer and his vision for a global day of prayer. He shared how the African nations have embraced the global day of prayer and how it has spread to other countries around the world. He also announced that the third global day of prayer will be held in Fitchburg, and he encouraged the congregation to participate. Dr. Bakke then discussed the scene in John 12 where a woman anointed Jesus' feet with expensive perfume, showing how a small act can have a big impact on history.
This sermon discusses the scene in the Bible where Mary anoints Jesus' feet with expensive perfume. The pastor emphasizes the significance of Mary's act of worship, as she surrenders her treasured possession to Jesus and pours out her love for him in a sacrificial way. He encourages the congregation to consider what treasures God has placed in their hands and to offer them up in worship to prepare the way for the Lord's redemptive work. The sermon ends with a call to give our lives to Jesus Christ and surrender everything we have and are to him.
