“The zeal – fervour, passion, enthusiasm – of the Lord comes by God’s oil in your lamp. God’s oil is the Holy Spirit. Submit to his power and presence now and rest in the strength, the passion, the enthusiasm that only he can endow. The zeal of the Lord to do it!”

Isaiah 37:32
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

Way back when I was in my church youth group, we loved to sing an old popular song around a campfire. It went, “Give me oil in my lamp keep me burning, burning, burning.” It was one of great those old songs you could add your own verses to. I remember singing, “Give me wheels on my Ford keep me driving for the Lord,” and  “Give me wax on my board keep me surfing for the Lord,” (not that I was a surfer, you understand). But the verse we added that I loved the most went, “Give me unction in my gumption keep me functioning, functioning, functioning… keep me functioning till the break of day! Sing hosanna!”

There are days when I wake up with a lack of unction. There are days that I wake up with less than my fair measure of gumption. You know what I’m talking about, those days when you lack any motivation to simply get up and get going, for whatever reason. It’s on days like this that I need some of the Holy Spirit’s oil in my lamp to keep me burning.

Isaiah prophesied the destruction of Israel and Judah. He said, because of their rebellion, the enemies of God’s people would overwhelm Zion. However, a remnant true to God would remain in Zion. Then he said, “The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.” It was only by God’s fervour and the oil of the Holy Spirit that the remnant would have the unction in their gumption to keep functioning.

In whatever mood you woke up today; whatever has demotivated you or stripped you of your enthusiasm to get out there and go for it, I say to you, only the zeal of the Lord will give you the motivation to do it. The zeal – fervour, passion, enthusiasm – of the Lord comes by God’s oil in your lamp. God’s oil is the Holy Spirit. Submit to his power and presence now and rest in the fervour, the passion, the enthusiasm that only he can endow. The zeal of the Lord to do it!

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

I acknowledge you in all my ways and rest in the zeal of the Holy Spirit

“Dear Lord. I often feel unmotivated and uninspired to get out there and go for it. Forgive me for wallowing in my self-pity. I choose now to not give up but look up – to lift my head and look up into the face of Jesus. I trust you to inspire me to serve you. I acknowledge you in all my ways and rest in the zeal of the Holy Spirit to be my fervour, passion, enthusiasm. Amen.”

If you prayed that prayer I would love to hear from you.

GOD-TRACKING IS DWELLING IN HIS PRESENCE, ALWAYS

trACker 550 The e-Devotional helping to keep you on-track
Published through www.godtracker.co.uk

Dear God-tracker

God-tracking is dwelling in his presence, always

The king sat alone in the tabernacle outer courts, praying. Whenever his enemies rose up against him and the responsibilities of governing his people with wisdom and grace took their toll, David would come down from Jerusalem to just sit quietly in the tabernacle and meditate upon the goodness of God. That day the king had commanded his guards to remain outside the tabernacle boundary and had requested that the priests leave him alone for a while, as he always did when he visited God’s dwelling. King David was not a priest so he was not permitted into the holy place but he sat down on the ground in the shade under the edge of the tent where he could smell the fragrances of myrrh, cinnamon, cane and cassia coming from within. David loved these moments. There, in the dust of the earth, he began tracing out the words, “One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life…”

King David was a great man. He was the only king of Israel who truly obeyed the decrees of the Lord until his dying day. David was no angel, mind you. He had much blood on his hands as a great warrior, and he’d committed murder and adultery. Yet David’s heart was pure and he was very quick to repent of is his sins. In fact, it is written of King David that he was the apple of God’s eye. Here we see David pursuing his greatest pleasure – to reside in the dwelling of God. In the midst of turmoil and violence; in the thick of conflict and war King David knew that the Lord’s presence was his source and resource. The presence of God – in prayer – was always the place of his security, hope and rejuvenation. 

Perhaps you find yourself in the thick of conflict or confusion today. Perhaps, when you look back over the past few months or years all you see is disappointment and failure. Well, if that’s you then don’t give up, look up! Make a conscious effort to rise and seek the dwelling of the Lord in prayer. David spent many a day in the tabernacle, still before God when his soul was downcast. The dwelling of the Lord is a place of fragrant peace. Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” And the dwelling place of God is in your heart. If you know Christ as Lord and Saviour then your body has become the very temple of the Lord God Almighty! So rest in him today wherever you are and he will hide you in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal you under the cover of his tent.

God-tracking is dwelling in his presence, always.

Stay blessed

Dudley

Help me to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life
Pray:“Father God, I admit that I am feeling a bit spiritually destitute at the moment. I confess that I have not spent enough time in your presence, in prayer. I know that I can never leave your omnipresence but today I choose to seek your dwelling presence! I want to rest in the shadow of your tent; in the fragrance of your company. I choose to cease my struggle with daily issues and rather be still before you. I shut off the clatter of noise that the world thrusts at me and rest in the peace that only Jesus gives. Help me to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. Amen.”

Dear God Tracker

To Stop Doing What You are Called to Do, Because You Feel Unworthy is to Insult God’s Grace

I was once in the middle of leading worship in my church when God taught me a very valuable lesson on grace. I was not in a good place in my life at the time. Although I was studying for the ministry and active in church, I was going through a period of rebelliousness. I was very critical of other Christians and was looking for loop-holes in the Bible to qualify my unfounded desires. At one particular point in the worship the congregation seemed to move into higher level of the experience of God. I was dumbfounded. “How can this be, Lord?” I said in my head as I sang. “These people are in deep worship and yet I - their worship leader - am in a bad place. I feel so unworthy.” In an instant I sensed God’s answer, “Yes you are unworthy.”

“There you go,” I said indignantly in my heart, “I’m going to quit this and hang up my guitar!” Again the instant though occurred to me by the voice of the Holy Spirit, “You are unworthy to lead these people in worship… but I’m not!” A hard lesson in the truth of grace.

In this experience, I discovered that no matter how “bad” I was feeling, if God has called me to do a job for him then it’s him in me doing it; not me! This is why Paul says that Jesus once told him, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." You see, grace is God at work, not you. Grace is God’s doing the job in and through you. The grace of God is twofold: it saves us from sin through the cross of Jesus and it empowers us to do good works through Christ in us, the hope of glory. Therefore, to stop doing what you are called to do because you feel unworthy is to insult God’s grace.

God-tracking is just doing it, by God’s grace.

Blessings

Dudley

Quote of the Week

A Sample of Dudley’s Fave Quotes.

“We are absolutely nothing.  We have nothing to be proud of.  We have no abilities and nothing to offer God.  The fact that he chooses to use is only due to his grace.  It has nothing to do with us.” -- Brother Yun

 

Don’t Give-up, Look-up!

Look-up and Fix Your Eyes On Jesus!

I Will Do the Good Works You Created Me to Do

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Pray

“Lord, I don’t have what it takes to be successful in my life’s calling. In fact, I’m probably not worthy of this job you have given me to do. However, I realise now that, as a believer in your power and grace, for me to refuse to carry on would be to insult the grace you have given me to do the job. I believe that it’s not me doing it, it’s you in me doing it. Please forgive me for my pride and insolence. I hand my activities, my relationships and my work over to you. Lord. I feel weak in my own abilities but I believe that this is a good thing, because when I am weak in me I am strong in you. Because I am your workmanship, by your grace, I will do the good works you created me to do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

Dear God Tracker

God Can See Your Life’s Big Picture

The six teenagers were lying on their backs on the grass gazing up at the Milky Way on a night black canvas of clear sky. Myriad stars blinked and glistened light years above them. “Spectacular, isn’t it?” I said. The mesmerised star gazers made no comment. “Do you know that we are on the edge of our galaxy looking back in at about 200 billion stars spanning a distance of about 100,000 light years? This means that little star’s twinkle over there is tens of thousands of years in the past.” I said pointing to a speck of cosmic glitter far away. “You’re gazing across space and time, beyond your wildest imagination.”

From where these teenagers were lying on the earth’s grass, they could almost see the whole Milky Way galaxy. It was as if they were looking at the whole picture. God views our lives like that. He can see our beginning and our end in one picture. The Lord sees you for who you are and how you are and where you are in space and time. Listen to Revelation 1:8: “’I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.’" Notice the word “and”. God is, was and is to come all at the same time. In other words, he is outside the bounds of time.

Whatever you’re facing today know that God knows. He knows how you got into that mess and he knows how you will get out of it, with his help. In fact, he’s there already on the other side of that wall meeting your every need. God saw you in the womb and he can see you in the tomb. Just step back and let him guide you by his Word and his Spirit, day by day and year by year. Though the Lord can see the whole picture of your life, he is as close to you as your own breath. If you continue to acknowledge God in all your ways you can trust his course for you. God can see your life’s big picture.

God-tracking is seeing your life through his eyes.

Blessings

Dudley

Help me to rest in your knowledge of my life’s track and help me to follow your purposes every day, by faith. Take care of my loved ones and their futures and take care of my future, O Lord. Design my path and lead me in it according to your foreknowledge of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
