“Bring your talents and giftings to the altar of his grace. Offer yourself as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. The altar sanctifies the sacrifice.”

Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

Grace is God’s doing. God did it when he sent Jesus to mediate between himself and us on the cross. By grace, through faith, we are saved. God’s grace saved us but God’s grace also equips us to serve him. We are qualified by grace.

Our calling is empowered by the holy grace of God which makes our calling holy. We are all called to all the world to share the love of God. Therefore, we are called to be the best we can be in life and living; to do all that our hands find to do with all our might. So, let’s be dedicated to serving our God. Let’s eliminate the unessential and superfluous time-wasting business in life to give our all to serve him. God has not called you to be more than you are but he has called you to be all that you are.

God’s free Grace qualifies you to serve him so seek his directions and opportunities rather than depending on your own education, planning and qualifications. Bring your talents and giftings to the holy altar of his grace. Offer yourself as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. The altar sanctifies the sacrifice.

There are no accidents or coincidences in the Kingdom of God. God knows the plans he has for you, plans for a blessed and successful future.

God-tracking is reasonably serving God by his grace.

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

“Help me to be willing to be manipulated and formed by your workmanship for good works.”

“O Father God, thank you for your unearned grace. Only by your grace – your doing – am I saved. And only by your grace – your doing – can I serve you every day of my life. I submit all my talents and skills to your grace. Anoint me to serve you with excellence, O Lord. Help me to make the most of every opportunity in life to share the message of your love, because the days we live in are evil. For your glory. Amen.

“He has saved you and called you to a holy calling, not because of your works but because of his own purpose and grace. Grace is God’s doing.”

2 Timothy 1:9
God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began

David Livingstone was a famous missionary who helped open up Africa to the gospel of Jesus. He was a trained and talented doctor with great prospects of a very successful career, before entering the mission field. His brother was also a doctor. When David informed his brother that he was giving up medicine to follow God’s holy calling into missions, his brother ridiculed him saying, “I don’t want that kind of life. I want to make a name for myself.” Today David Livingstone’s brother is mentioned in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. He has one line stating that he is the brother of David Livingstone while David has 16 paragraphs describing his life and work.

As Christian believers, you and I are saved by God’s grace, through faith. Jesus, God’s eternal and holy Son, came from the Father to earth to bear the consequences of our sins upon the cross. When he rose from the dead, he opened the way for you and me to have our sins removed and to boldly approach God’s throne, in faith. Therefore, we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.

Like David Livingstone, your Lord has many, many good things lined up for you. He has saved you and called you to a holy calling, not because of your good works but because of his own purpose and grace. Grace is God’s doing. God did it when he saved you through the blood of Jesus and God will do it through you as he has called you to serve him, by his grace.

So, hold onto the promise of God’s purpose to use you wherever you are. Remember, he knows the plans he has for you, plans for wellbeing and success, with a hopeful future. And when the devil comes against you to thwart God’s plans for your life, stand strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

“O Lord, I praise and thank you for your grace. Your grace has saved me and your grace equips me to serve you. I offer my life to you today, to serve you as you call me to serve. Help me not to depend on my own skills or my own efforts to achieve the great things you have in store for me. Help me, O Lord, to simply follow your supreme directions for my life. And use me, Lord. I submit myself to your hand. Use me in my family, use me in my church and use me for your glory in my workplace. Guide me according to the plans you know you have for me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS HAVING FAITH IN GOD’S PLANS, EVEN THROUGH SHIPWRECK

GOD-TRACKING IS HAVING FAITH IN GOD’S PLANS, EVEN THROUGH SHIPWRECK

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope

The night was very dark. The wind howled through torn rigging like a ravenous wolf. Lashing rain combined with smashing white waters, flooded the deck. The crew and prisoners on board this vessel had been lashed by a ferocious storm at sea for weeks. They were exhausted and feared certain death. Paul, a prisoner aboard the ship said, “Men, I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. For this very night there stood before me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship, and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’”

True to his Word, God preserved all their lives. The ship ran aground near Malta, but all on board were saved. When they landed, the people of the island welcomed them warmly. While making a fire, Paul was bitten by a viper, but when he failed to die the islanders thought he was a god. Paul hastily corrected their perception, telling them about the power God to save, deliver and heal, through Jesus Christ. The result was a great revival on Malta. The whole island turned to Jesus and many were healed of their infirmities. Nearly 2,000 years later, the island of Malta still enjoys a strong Christian influence.

So often I hear people say that their lives have been shipwrecked by circumstances beyond their control. I think we can safely say that Paul’s shipwreck, as described above, was beyond his control. Yet, God used the circumstances of this apparent disaster to bring many, many into his kingdom and performed miracles of healing, to boot. I think we can safely say that the event of Paul’s shipwreck was well within God’s plan for the apostle’s life.

Acknowledge God in all your ways and he will direct your life’s track. Even through the storms of looming shipwreck, God’s purposes will prevail. God knows the plans he has for you, so have faith in his designs. Keep your eyes on Christ. Look through your shipwreck experience, scorn its shame, and go on to enjoy the blessings God has in store for you. God’s plans are always for your welfare, to give you a future filled with hope.

God-tracking is having faith in God’s plans, even through shipwreck

Dear Lord, use the circumstances of my difficulties to bring you glory and draw people into a deeper walk with you

“Thank you Lord that my life is in your hands. I acknowledge you in every aspect of my life. And when things go awry I will continue to have faith in you to work out your perfect plans for my life. So, help me to face this looming shipwreck. I choose to keep my eyes on Jesus and his example as he looked through his cross to see himself victoriously sitting on the righthand side of God. Dear Lord, use the circumstances of my difficulties to bring you glory and draw people into a deeper walk with you. Amen.”
