The Zeal of the Lord

Isaiah 59:17
For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

It’s sad when Christians lose the zeal of first love. After having discovered new life in Christ, it’s easy to fall back on old ways and grow cold. Jesus said to John on Patmos, “Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” Sadly, many of us may start our Christian walks with flair but soon lose our zeal.

Maybe that spark has gone out of your relationship with the Lord. If that’s you, then stop trying to do it in your own strength. Be encouraged to allow him to fan into flame the gift of the Holy Spirit. Ask the Lord to fill you again with his zeal, then step back from your efforts and watch as the zeal of the Lord once again sets your heart ablaze.

God-tracking is burning with the zeal of the Lord.

Philippians 1:6
…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

God-tracking is facing the future with peaceful confidence
Here’s wishing you and yours a truly hope-filled and blessed 2026. One thing I have learned, as I have tracked the plans of God throughout my life, is this: God’s new is always new, and in this New Year, I believe He is doing a new thing in your life. Be encouraged to live expectantly of God’s plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

In a world faced with terrorism, rampant secularism and Christian persecution and war, it’s so good to know that the Lord our God has made a way for us to walk in peace and hope. In Christ, we enjoy a surpassing peace; not peace as the world knows it, but a deep inner peace in whatever conflict we may face. And the hope that he has given us comes from the faith generated by the words of Jesus, the author and perfecter of our lives.

Jesus faced opposition on every side, yet he rested in God’s perfect will for his life even when it cost him his life on the cross. However, Jesus faced crucifixion in full confidence that the Spirit of God would raise him from the dead and seat him at the right hand of God in glory. We are called follow this example by fixing our eyes on Jesus and not on the difficulties surrounding us, gleaning from the faith his word produces in us.

God-tracking, therefore, is facing every new day and every new year and every new challenge with faith and confidence that he will guide us through troubled, needy times with great peace, in the hope of his good plans for our lives. Corrie Ten Boom said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” If 2026 appears anything less than rosy from where you’re standing today, then don’t give up but look up into the eyes of Jesus and say, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

God-tracking is facing the future with peaceful confidence

“He will certainly not abandon you but will surely take care of you. He knows how you got into this mess and he knows how you’ll get out of it.”

Exodus 13:19 (NASB)
“…God will certainly take care of you…”

Pete and Jan were doing well. He was running a successful small business while she looked after the three kids at home. Pete’s business was growing as new opportunities opened to him. Both are Bible-believing Christians, acknowledging God in all they do. Then one day, all hell broke loose. Pete lost a large contract in which he had invested all their savings. Jan fell ill and found it increasingly difficult to care for the children. “Why, O Lord?” cried Pete. “What’s going on? I need help!” Pete and Jan’s story is common. A young couple finding their feet in life only to have the rug pulled out from beneath them. I’ve been there. Have you?

The Bible makes it clear that God knows the plans he has for you. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. He knows your situation right now and he will come to your rescue. We read that the enemy of our souls, Satan, prowls around like a lion seeking to devour us. Our battle is not against human forces but against demonic forces in the spiritual realm. Satan is intent on derailing you from the purposes of God.

Be strong and courageous, the Lord is with you. He is your helper. He will meet all your needs according to his magnificent riches in Jesus. He will certainly not abandon you but will surely take care of you. He knows how you got into this mess and he knows how you’ll get out of it. Your Lord is already on the other side of your tomorrow. So, stand together in the power of prayer and set your eyes on Jesus, trusting him as the author and perfector of your faith.

God-tracking is getting through tough times with the care of the Lord.

“Stand strong! He is your shield and the One who lifts your head. Don’t be tempted to fight the way of the world, fight by the way of David.”

2 Corinthians 10:3
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

We know the story well of how young David overcame the Philistine giant, Goliath. The Philistine army and the Israelite army were at a standoff. To decide the victory, they opted for champion warfare where one army would select its strongest warrior to battle the strongest warrior of the other in one-on-one combat. The victor would win the battle for his army. So, Goliath, a mighty giant of a man, was chosen by the Philistines but none of the Israelite men were prepared to fight him.

Along comes David, a teenage shepherd boy, whose brothers were fighting on the frontline. He came to the battlefield with supplies for his brothers. Hearing Goliath’s threats, young David, filled with the Holy Spirit offers to fight the Philistine. So, King Saul clothed David with his personal armour, but this was not what David was used to. So, David takes off the king’s armour and advances against the giant with a mere slingshot and five smooth stones. With God’s help, David slings a stone at Goliath which hits him squarely in the forehead. Concussed, the giant falls to the ground, at which point the boy David beheads him with his own sword. David was victorious not by the ways of man but by the ways of God.

Are you facing a giant today? When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. Don’t be tempted to adorn yourself with the regalia of the world, stand strong under the standard of your Lord. When fighting your giants, turn to the weapons that God has given you rather than what the world tries to put on you. Your weapons are supernatural and mighty in God for tearing down strongholds. The world will offer you its carnal armour to deal with your giants but, in Christ, you have armour far greater than what the world could ever offer you: a breastplate of righteousness, shoes of God’s word (stand upon the word of God), a shield of faith, a helmet of salvation (to guard your thoughts), and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

So, stand strong! He is your shield and the lifter of your head. Don’t be tempted to fight by the way of the world, fight by the way of David. David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, he will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. You will win the fight.

God-tracking is standing strong in the armour of the Lord

“Who knows the impact that one dear soul may have on the world because of your few words of encouragement.”

Hebrews 10:24
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.

Shortly after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, we read in Acts that the early believers sold property to help feed the poor. At this time, we read that a Levite called Joses sold land and brought the proceeds to the apostles to be distributed. This was a commendable act since that land would have been Joses’s security and providence for his old age, yet he chose to give it all up for the sake of helping the needy. What an encouraging act. In fact, Joses was so much of an encourager that his name was changed to Barnabas, which means son of encouragement. Later we read how Barnabas took Paul under his wing when he was rejected by the other disciples because Paul had been a persecutor of the Christians. Barnabas encouraged Paul to stay strong and encouraged the other believers to accept him. Barnabas went on to be a travel companion with Apostle Paul, preaching the gospel across Asia Minor.

Years back when I was studying for the ministry, I endured a spiritual burnout and had a crisis of faith. At the time I was attending a large church in Johannesburg, South Africa. The pastor was a gentle yet firm man. Because of my experience, I had been appointed to a position of leadership in the church, yet I was in rebellion. Without criticism or rejection, my pastor took me under his wing. He lavished me with counsel and prayer. Never did he condemn my folly or deny me opportunity. In fact, I was promoted to music director of the church. I can only believe that he had insight into God’s call on my life and faith that God would pull me through my rebellion. And he did.

Is there someone in your life who you know is called of God but is suffering a crisis of faith at this time? Do you believe that God has a plan to use him/her mightily for the Kingdom yet he/she can’t see the wood for the trees, so to speak? May I encourage you to be an encourager and encourage that person to not give up but look up and trust God’s plan for their lives. Who knows the impact that one dear soul may have on the world because of your few words of encouragement?

Encourage believers in their walk with Christ. Encourage nonbelievers to walk with Christ.

“Encouragement is a vital ingredient in our walk with Jesus. Sometimes life becomes so bogged down with workload or difficulties that we take our eyes off the source of our reason for living.”

Colossians 2:2
that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ,

Marion Gilbert tells a funny little story. He says, “One morning I opened the door to get the newspaper and was surprised to see a strange little dog with our paper in his mouth. Delighted with this unexpected delivery service, I fed him some treats. The following morning, I was horrified to see the same dog sitting in front of our door, wagging his tail, surrounded by eight newspapers. I spent the rest of that morning returning the papers to their owners.” Indeed, a little encouragement goes a long way.

Reading through the book of Acts in the Bible we will notice many occasions where people are encouraged in their faith. Often, we read of how the apostle Paul revisited the churches he planted to encourage them. One of Paul’s early travel companions was a man called Joseph. He was a wealthy landowner who sold a field and brought the money to the early Church leaders, to be shared among the needy. Joseph was such an encourager that they changed his name to Barnabas, which means son of encouragement.

Encouragement is a vital ingredient in our walk with Jesus. Sometimes life becomes so bogged down with workload or difficulties that we take our eyes off the source of our reason for living. Sometimes loss or need so cloud our vision that we lose track of God’s purposes and forget that he is with us even in the fire. And sometimes we become so distracted by the lure of the world that we stumble along our God track.

So, be encouraged today to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. And be encouraged to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

“So, whatever your disappointments of yesterday; whatever your fears of tomorrow or your needs today, take heart, Jesus will get you through.”


Jesus had returned home after visiting the Gadarenes where he had driven many demons out of a man into a herd of pigs. No sooner had he climbed out of the boat when he was approached by some people carrying a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Take heart, my son,” and promptly forgave the man’s sins and healed him completely.

On another occasion, while a large crowd pressed in around him, a woman who had been suffering from a bleed for 12 years touched his cloak in faith that she would be healed. Jesus turned to her and said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” She was instantly healed. On still another occasion, Jesus came walking to his disciples on the water of the sea of Galilee as they strained their oars against a raging storm. They were terrified at the sight of him walking on water. So, Jesus called out to them, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”

I read in the Bible that God is eternal. That is, he is infinite; he exists simultaneously in the past, the present and the future. We read this in Revelation where it says that God was and is and is to come. Notice the conjunction “and”. The phrase implies that God was and is and is to come. That is, he is all 3 conditions at the same time. And we know that God is all-powerful, all-knowing and ever-present. Therefore, whatever you and I face today, our God knows all about it and has the present power to meet our needs. Nothing is beyond the scope of God. Nothing is external to the control of God. And he exists already in the future, where our needs are met.

So, whatever your disappointments of yesterday; whatever your fears of tomorrow or your needs today, take heart, Jesus will get you through.

GOD-TRACKING IS BRAVELY GOING WHERE GOD IS LEADING

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Gideon lived at a time in history when God’s people, Israel had rebelled against God and were worshipping false idols. Sadly, as God had warned them through Moses, if Israel rejected God’s Word and turned to foreign gods, God would abandon them to their enemies. This was the case in Gideon’s day. The Midianites were suppressing Israel, raiding their crops and stealing their livestock. Therefore, Gideon was hiding in a wine-press while he was threshing his wheat, when the angel of God appeared to him.

“The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valour,” said the angel. “Who? Me?” replied Gideon. Gideon was not a significant figure. He was the least in his family, which was of the smallest tribe of Israel. Other Israelites may have tried to stand up against the Midianites, but not Gideon. He was hiding in a winepress. A failure. Useless, in his own eyes. But now, God was calling him to turn the hearts of his people back to worshipping him, and then to go on to defeat the Midianites. Thankfully, young Gideon obeyed God and, with only 300 out 22,000 fighting men, he conquered their enemy.
Are you facing a mammoth task today? Perhaps, like Gideon, you feel you’re an insignificant failure.

Maybe you feel you don’t have what it takes to conquer your fears or succeed in your calling. Gideon felt the same. Let me say to you, you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God; and God makes no mistakes. He has a plan and he has a purpose for you. Trust his design for your life and trust his grace to empower you to fulfil his design (remember, grace is God’s doing). Nothing can separate you from the hand of God and if God is with you, none can stand against you. Be encouraged, the LORD is with you, O mighty GodTracker of valour!

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS BEING ENCOURAGED BY HIS WORD & SPIRIT TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO FACE YOUR DIFFICULTIES

1 John 4:4
Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

A while back I was attending a leaders’ conference where a young pastor shared about his work. Being Italian, he was full of passion and, gesticulating energetically he said, “God wants you to be en…courage…d !” After deciphering his wonderful accent, I realised that he was trying to say that the encouragement we receive from God is such that it fills us with courage.

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, courage is defined as: the ability to do something that you know is difficult or dangerous. And let’s be honest, life can be difficult at times! Sometimes we’re faced with situations that demand a fair measure of courage, which is the ability to face something difficult or dangerous. American fighter ace of World War I and Medal of Honor recipient, Eddie Rickenbacker said, “Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.”

Perhaps you’re facing a scary moment today. It could be that you’ve lost your job or your marriage is in jeopardy. Maybe you’re embarking on a new adventure in life and you’re afraid of the future. If so, let me remind you, God’s Word tells us that the Lord’s plans for us are for our welfare and good; offering a hopeful future. It says that if we acknowledge God in all our ways, he will direct the outcome of our choices. Also, nothing will separate you from God’s love; if God is for you, who can be against you?  This is God’s Word to you today, and God’s Word works together with the power and fellowship of God’s Holy Spirit. His Word and Spirit are offering you strength, hope and courage; the ability to face life’s difficulties and dangers with confidence!

So today be en…courage…d by God’s promises and his power at work in your life. He is your source and your resource. You need nothing more than his en…courage…ment to face life’s dangers.

God-tracking is being encouraged by his Word & Spirit to have the courage to face your difficulties

Stay Blessed

Dudley

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!

May your sovereign power and purpose rest on the circumstances beyond my control

Pray
“Oh Lord, I’ll admit that I’m afraid of what might come of this situation I’m in. I don’t know the future but I do know, you know the future! So today I put my faith in your plans for my life. I step out in the encouragement of your Word and courageously face tomorrow. May your strength and your hope rise up within me. May your sovereign power and purpose rest on the circumstances beyond my control. I choose to acknowledge you in all my ways and trust you to bring about your purposes in my life, without leaning on my own understanding. Jesus, you’re all I need. Amen.”
