“But when Jesus died the veil was ripped in two revealing the glory of God to all who would come to him in faith. Through Jesus, the veil is removed enabling you and me to embrace God’s presence.”

2 Corinthians 3:16
Nevertheless, when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

Accompanied by majestic music, the young bride slowly walked down the aisle arm in arm with her father. She looked beautiful. Her delicate white gown gently embraced her shoulders while a covering lace flourished to her ankles. Behind her flowed a long white train. The bride’s countenance was obscured by a soft white veil. Slowly, majestically, dad and daughter made their way to the altar to meet her groom, her radiant visage concealed to him. Through a veil dimly he gazed at her beauty. Reaching up, tears in his eyes, her father unveiled her face, kissed his daughter, and presented her to her husband. From that moment on the groom would be with his unveiled bride, embracing her presence.

When Moses descended from Mount Sinai after being in God’s presence for forty days his face was glowing. The sheer magnificence of the glory of the Lord Almighty had engulfed the man so that light radiated from his countenance. The people could not look at him. So, Moses covered his face with a veil. Moses had embraced the presence of the holy God such that God’s glory was evident in his face. To this day when Moses is read, a veil lies on their hearts. But when Jesus died the veil was ripped in two revealing the glory of God to all who would come to him in faith. Through Jesus, the veil is removed enabling you and me to embrace God’s presence.

Have you allowed the veil to be removed or are you standing concealed before the groom? Come to Jesus now and allow the Father to remove that veil. Open your heart and embrace God’s presence.

God-tracking is being uncovered in the presence of God.

"Acknowledge that Jesus died and rose again to expose the deeds of darkness and put your faith in him. The night is far gone. Let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light. At one time you were darkness but now you are light in the Lord. So, walk as children of light.”

1 John 1:5
This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

 
Once a year Jews celebrate Chanukkah. Chanukkah commemorates an event that took place in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BC. In 168 BC the ruling Seleucid Greek empire, under king Antiochus IV Epiphanes, outlawed Jewish practice and defiled the Temple by installing an altar to the Greek god, Zeus and sacrificing pigs. A small army of Jews, known as the Maccabees, rebelled. They regained control over the Temple, removed the symbols of Zeus and built a new altar so they could once again offer sacrifices to God. According to the Talmud, a miracle occurred at this time. There was only enough oil to keep the Temple’s menorah (oil lamp), burning for one day. But the flame stayed alight for eight days until a new supply of oil could be found. This is the basis for the eight-day celebration of Chanukkah.

It's no coincidence that our Jewish brothers celebrate Chanukkah near the time of Christmas. The menorah represents the light of God and the outworking of God’s Word and Spirit. At the beginning of the gospel of John we read, “The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world,” and further on it says that all who received him, who believed in his name, he would give the right to become children of God, born, not of blood nor of the will of man, but of God.

 

Jesus, the Messiah, came into the world, sent as the light of God to illuminate the way to freedom from bondage to sin. The Jews were in bondage under the Seleucid Greeks during the intertestamental period and were freed by the Maccabees. The symbol of this liberty was the light provided by the menorah that burned miraculously for eight days without replenishment. Mankind has been under the bondage of darkness since the fall in Eden. Jesus, the true light of God, exposed the deeds of darkness and he revealed the only way to life, though his act at Calvary.

 

Today, acknowledge that Jesus died and rose again to expose the deeds of darkness and put your faith in him. The night is far gone, so let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light. At one time you were darkness but now you are light in the Lord. So, walk as children of light; the miracle of true light!

God-tracking is walking in the light of God

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

I instate Jesus as the Lord and Light of my being

“Heavenly Father, thank you for the miracle of Jesus. To this corrupt world filled with darkness, you sent the True Light, Jesus, on that first Christmas to show us the way of life and peace. Today, O God, I confess Jesus to be Lord of my life and put my faith in his death and resurrection. His deed at Calvary exposed the deeds of darkness and sin in me and I repent in his holy name. I expel the gods of this world – including ego – from the temple of my heart and I instate Jesus as the Lord and Light of my being. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS RUNNING TENACIOUSLY

GOD-TRACKING IS RUNNING TENACIOUSLY

Subscribe to GodTracker at godtracker.co.uk

Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us

I’m told that the Greeks had a race in the early Olympic games that was unique to all the others. The winner of the race was not the runner who finished first. The winner was the runner who finished his race with his torch still lit. Paul the apostle, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit said, “Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we, an imperishable.”

One of my favourite English words is the word tenacity. Tenacity is defined as the quality or fact of being very determined; determination to grip something firmly. I could imagine those runners in the early Greek Olympics running as fast as they could, while gripping their Olympic torches firmly, with determination to win in such a way as to keep their flames burning.

God-tracking implies tracking the plans of God for our lives. This process requires us to remain on track with God’s purposes. If one of these athletes, running a track race, veered off track while he was running, he might stumble and fall in the rough, extinguish his torch. Christian, you and I are called to be the light of the world. Jesus said, “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” To keep that torch burning is to stay on track with God’s plans by acknowledge him in all your ways while seeking first his kingdom principles. Then to run the race set out before you with tenacity. Never, never give up and you will receive that imperishable prize!

God-tracking is running tenaciously

Help me to run with endurance and my flame burning this race that is set before me

“O Lord, forgive me for going off track and stumbling in the dirt of the world. I admit, my light has dimmed. I repent of all sin and grief that I have caused your Holy Spirit. I choose to pick myself up again and get back on the track to run with perseverance and tenacity, this race you have set out for me. I acknowledge you again in ever aspect of my life – from my supper private life to my most public life – and choose to line myself up again with your kingdom and your righteousness. Help me to run with endurance and my flame burning this race that is set before me. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS CONSISTANTLY LIVING THE LIGHT

trACker 574
The e-Devotional helping to keep you on-track
Published through www.godtracker.co.uk

04 March 2016  

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS CONSISTANTLY LIVING THE LIGHT

1 Corinthians 2:18
And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord,[c] are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

 

Jesus once said, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Also, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul instructs the Ephesians to not live under the wiles of the world in dark decay but rather to live in the light of God, exposing the corruption of the world. He says, “At one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.” And to the Thessalonians Paul writes, “For you are all children of light, children of the day.” In 2 Corinthians we read how when Moses came down from Sinai he needed to veil his face, because he shone with the brilliance of God. It goes on to say that, through the work of Christ, that veil has been removed. In other words, the light of God, which comes from within each true Bible believing Christian, is free to shine through our lives

Imagine you’re facing a dazzling car headlight on full beam. I’m sure you’ll agree that the light might hurt your eyes, perhaps even be offensive to you. Now imagine taking a thick heavy blanket and covering that headlight. At last, as the light is covered, your eyes can rest. However, not only have you veiled the luminescence of that halogen light bulb but you have also removed the source of light that enables you to see all around you. Not only so, but that light is still shining as intensely as it always has... under the veil!

Dear God-tracker, you are that headlamp, shining bright. That light in you comes from the glory of the Holy Spirit. This light exposes works of darkness. This light reveals the love, grace and holiness of God; it’s the source of spiritual luminescence that enables those around you to see their way to God. However, dear child of Light, this light will also offend those around you who walk in darkness, because it hurts their depraved spiritual eyes. Therefore, they may try to cover your light with a veil, but, even so, they will never prevent your light from burning. You may find you are being ridiculed for your faith or bullied because you call yourself a born again Christian. You may find the devil trying to snuff out you light by covering up what you believe about homosexuality, creation, promiscuity or about Jesus being the only way to God. You may feel as though the world is attempting to cover-up their sin by trying to conceal your standing for God’s truth. But remember your light will always be burning, even under that cover! And whenever they lift the edge of that veil to peak inside, they will be dazzled once again by God’s brilliant light coming from within you!

(Please read all the scriptures listed below.)

God-tracking is consistently living the light.

Keep on shining

Dudley

Read all about it!Matthew 5:13-16
Ephesians 5:1-21
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
2 Corinthians 3:12-18

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!

Lord, help me to be strong as I choose to consistently shine your light even under the veil of indifferent secularisation

Pray
 “Father God, thank you so much for your light that shines in and through me. Because of what Jesus did for me at Calvary, all my sin has been atoned for. Therefore, as I have confessed my sinful darkness to you, you have replaced it with your righteous light. That light is in me! I lay claim to that light and choose to reflect your glory into the world around me, no matter how they may react. Some may accept your light and turn from their darkness while others may attempt to veil the light that shines from my life, because of their guilt. Lord, help me to be strong as I choose to consistently shine your light even under the veil of indifferent secularisation. I will always shine for your glory, Lord! Amen.”
