“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.

WILLING & OBEDIENTLY LAYING IT ALL DOWN

“God’s call to you and me today is to offer ourselves as living sacrifices to the Lord; to willingly and obediently lay it all down for Jesus.”

Romans 12:1
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

The path was long and steep. Abraham, now over 100 years of age, led his young son up the mountain. Isaac was carrying a stack of firewood and a lit lantern. The old man was sombre and teary-eyed. His God – the God Almighty – had asked him to do the unthinkable, to sacrifice his son to him on the mountain.

On arriving at its peak, Abraham built an altar. “Here’s the fire, Abba, and the wood,” said the boy, “but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Sobbing, the old man bound his son and raised him to the altar. The boy showed no resistance. He trusted his father. Raising the sharp knife, Abraham was poised to plunge it deep into his son of promise. Just then, he heard, his name being called, “Abraham, Abraham!” Abraham lifted his eyes and looked. Behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. On the mount of the Lord, God had provided a lamb for the sacrifice. Abraham worshiped God.

Isaac was Abraham’s living sacrifice. Abraham had heard the call of God to surrender his son – his dreams – to the Lord and obediently followed the call of God. It was Abraham’s obedience that God honoured, because obedience is better than sacrifice. Isaac, Abraham’s living sacrifice, returned home with his father, alive and well. Isaac grew to become the ancestor of Messiah.

God’s call to you and me today is to offer ourselves as living sacrifices to the Lord; to willingly and obediently lay it all down for Jesus. To offer our dreams, our aspirations and hopes to him, as holy sacrifices. Like Abraham, God is calling you and me to obediently let go of our private agendas and ambitions, to willingly sacrifice them on his altar. It is said that it is the altar that sanctifies the sacrifice. As you lay down your dreams on his altar as a living sacrifice, your gracious Lord will provide. He will restore your dreams many times over.

Today, lay it all down and be transformed by the renewal of your mind, to discern the perfect will of God for your life.

God-tracking is a living sacrifice.

GOD-TRACKING IS HAVING THE PRESENCE OF MIND OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD

GodTracker 736
The e-devotional helping to keep you on track with God’s plans for your life.

“The presence of God is freely available through Jesus, who was offered to reconcile us to the presence of God. In his presence is fullness of joy, peace and hope.”

Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures for evermore.

Two inspiring weekly devotional books by Dudley Anderson

I recently interviewed a lady who converted from Islam to Christianity. She grew up in a devout Muslim home, praying 5 times a day, fasting at Ramadan and regularly attending mosque. However, in her fervent Islamic prayer life, she never sensed the presence of one she believed was God. One day, out of a sense of curiosity, she stepped into a Christian church. She says, “In the middle of the worship I sensed the presence of God and couldn’t stop crying.” She accepted Jesus as the Son of God and her personal Lord and Saviour.

Before Jesus came to earth, died and rose again, God’s presence was only manifest in the Holy of Holies in the temple. Indeed, God is omnipresent – everywhere all the time – but his manifest presence was only known in one place – the Holy of Holies, which was separated from worshipers by a large very heavy curtain. However, the moment Jesus died, we see that heavy curtain ripped in two from top to bottom. The manifest presence of the Almighty, holy God was exposed; it became accessible to all who would draw near to worship through Christ. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one can come into God’s presence but by him.

God is, indeed, omnipresent – we can never be out of his presence. Therefore, it’s a fallacy to pray, “We come into your presence.” We should rather pray, “We come into the presence of mind of your presence.” We draw near to God not by the blood of a sacrificed animal once a year on the Day of Atonement; we draw near to God by the blood of the Son of God, sacrificed for sin once for all.

The presence of God is a very special place. The presence of God is freely available through Jesus, who was offered to reconcile you to the presence of God. In his presence is fullness of joy, peace and hope. He will never leave you or forsake you. As Christians, we all too often take the presence of God for granted. Let us not. God’s manifest presence is still as holy as it was in the days of Moses and Aaron.

God-tracking is having the presence of mind of the presence of God

Help me to walk every day in the sure awareness of your holy manifest presence

“Dear Lord, I’m sorry if I have been flippant about your presence. I confess that your presence is holy, almighty and good. Thank you for the sacrifice of Jesus – he became a sin offering for me, that I might know the righteousness of God, and draw near to worship. Dear Lord, I come into the presence of mind of your presence. Help me to remain here. I know you will never leave me or forsake me. I have peace of mind in your presence. Help me to walk every day in the sure awareness of your holy manifest presence. Amen.”
