He Is Risen Indeed!
On The Go Daily Devotion for APRIL 07, 2012
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
He Is Risen Indeed!
"He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you." Matthew 28:6,7
He Is Risen! Christ Is Risen Indeed! This week Christians worldwide are celebrating Easter. Christ is alive and at work in our midst. We should celebrate His resurrection each and every day as we take the opportunity to share with others the "Good News" of Jesus Christ.
The On The Go staff would like to take this time to wish you and your family a very Happy Easter. May God pour out His blessings upon you as you spend quality time together. Take time this weekend to reflect on who Jesus is and the difference that His resurrection has made in your lives.
The grave could not Him; His death was swallowed up in Victory!
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray for lost friends and family members that God will make the message of Christ real in their lives and that they will see their need for a Savior!
On The Go Prayer Focus: On The Go’s World Outreach Center (WOC). This is our main office and training facility. Pray for God to protect the building, guard the mechanical and structural aspects of the facility, and use the facility for maximum eternal benefits.
Thank you for taking the time to pray for this important division of On The Go Ministries. For more information on any our ministries here at On The Go, you may send your questions to info@onthego.org.

No Greater Love
On The Go Daily Devotion for APRIL 6, 2012
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
No Greater Love by Laurie McTier
"Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:4-6
Christ's persecution, death, burial, and resurrection fulfilled all prophesies written in the scripture. His death was the ultimate sacrifice, but was the only ransom that would ever cover our sin debt. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ once again totally yielded to His Father. In Luke 22:42, Jesus says "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done." Christ took on the form of a servant, and proved to be obedient unto death.
The grave could not hold Him! Christ truly is Risen! He loves us with an everlasting love and has called us to share that same love with those we come in contact with. God bless you today as you live for Him!
Daily Prayer Focus: Praise God for the promise of Eternal Life!
On The Go Prayer Focus: The follow-up of inquirers who come publicly and make decisions for Christ, write in for materials to grow in Christ, or who visit our website looking for help in following Christ. Pray for local believers, churches, parents, and friends who all will be used of God to nurture each and every one to maturity in Christ.

The Passion of the Christ
On The Go Daily Devotion for APRIL 05, 2012
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
The Passion of the Christ by Keith Cook
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Revelation 12:11
A few years ago, my whole family and entire staff of On The Go Ministries went to see "The Passion Of The Christ". The film totally rocked my world! It visually showed what Jesus went through for you and me. The truth and reality portrayed on screen touched my heart, and I was broken and speechless. I was almost sobbing because of what Christ had done for me.
I saw it visually, and it touched my heart. God wants us to do more with "The Passion of Christ" than to just be touched; He wants us to go on from there. The Bible says that the early Christians overcame the devil because of the blood of Jesus, and in this movie, I think it correctly depicted how much blood Jesus shed for you and me. Also, the Bible says, they overcame not only because of the blood that Jesus shed or the salvation that He offered, but because of the word of their testimony. What Jesus Christ did gave them hope, peace, and courage to stand up and say that Jesus was not just a man, He was the God-Man. Jesus Christ was not just a good teacher, He was the Son of God. I believe in Him as my Savior, and I will live for Him.
They had the blood of Jesus, the word of their testimony, and they were fearless unto death. Jesus went all the way to death, and after three days, He arose again and to offer us life. As believers today, we need to live for Jesus, let the Blood, and the Word, and your Testimony speak for Christ.
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray that the love of Christ, the Blood that He shed, and your daily testimony will penetrate hearts of the lost that they might come to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
On The Go Prayer Focus: Those who need to make decisions for Christ as On The Go and the Keith Cook Team shares the Gospel around the world. Pray that they will hear a clear message about Christ, that the Holy Spirit will move them to a point of decision and that they will be bold enough to publicly respond for Christ.
Thank you for taking the time to pray for this important division of On The Go Ministries. For more information on any our ministries here at On The Go, you may send your questions to info@onthego.org.

By Faith We Stand
On The Go Daily Devotion For April 04, 2012
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
By Faith We Stand by On The Go Staff
Today the staff at On The Go would like to encourage you to spend some time meditating on the following verses on FAITH. We believe that faith can move mountains that seem impossible, and by faith you can serve the Lord in any capacity He has called you to serve!
"But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour." Matthew 9:22
"Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt." Matthew 15:28
"After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward." Genesis 15:1
"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." Matthew 17:20
"And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:2
"Where there is no vision, the people perish:" Proverbs 29:18
Stand in faith today! God will reward you for your faithfulness.
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray that God will continue to expand your ministry as you seek to faithfully serve Him.
On The Go Prayer Focus: Middle Tennessee Outreach this week. Pray for the team as they host GoKids Clubs in inner-city Nashville. Pray as we minister to boys and girls and share with them the love of Jesus Christ, that God will bring forth a Bountiful Harvest for the Kingdom.
Thank you for taking the time to pray for this important division of On The Go Ministries. For more information on any our ministries here at On The Go, you may send your questions to info@onthego.org.

Lord, I See
On The Go Daily Devotion For April 3, 2012
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
Lord, I See by Tekká Kelly and Laurie McTier
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." Isaiah 41:10, 13
As Christians we can all look around us everyday and see signs of God's Presence and Power in our lives. Our God is an awesome God, and He is truly worthy to be praised. All too often; however, we fail to thank God for the blessings He has given to us. May we never take His Presence and Power for granted.
Our walk with Christ is dependent upon the time that we spend with Him each and everyday in prayer and Bible study. May God reveal His truths to us so that in return we can bless others with the lessons He has taught us. God doesn't bless us and expect us to hoard the blessings, but wants us to share them with our family and friends that God puts across our paths.
Today I want to close by leaving you with a poem written by a young girl that has grown-up under the influence of On The Go Ministries. Tekká became a Christian as a young girl during one of our Neighborhood Outreaches, and God has blessed her with a gift of writing poetry and songs.
Lord I See
Lord I see your Mighty Power
Shining through the Light Tower.
Some may say He's a Coward.
But they don't know His Marvelous Power.
From where I stand
He is the Glory in all our land.
We shall Sing and Dance
For He will Rise Again.
From the bottom of the ocean
To the top of the sky.
He's our salvation
That we see rise.
From every nation
To every grand,
To every state he will rise again.
For the Lord
We seek will rise again.
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray that your Christian faith never become mundane or common place. Pray God will give you renewed zeal and a renewed sense of His Presence and His Power.
On The Go Prayer Focus: On The Go Ministry Supporters. It takes teamwork to make the dream work! Our ministry supporters have made commitments to play a vital part of our team through praying, sharing, caring, going, and growing.
Thank you for taking the time to pray for this important division of On The Go Ministries. For more information on any our ministries here at On The Go, you may send your questions to info@onthego.org.

The Umpire
On The Go Daily Devotion for April 2, 2012
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
The Umpire by Keith Cook
"There is no umpire between us, who may lay his hand upon us both." Job 9:33 NASB
Recently, I went to a baseball game. Our local team was doing great! Home runs were being hit left and right. Then it happened! Our pitcher threw a wild pitch and it almost hit the batter. The batter got so mad that he started yelling at the pitcher. Then our manager became rather upset and started yelling at the batter who, by then, was being defended by his manager. It was a rather fun scene for us as spectators, but for the players on the field it was very serious and a tense
situation.
Into the middle of the situation stepped the umpire. While the coach of a team has a lot of authority and can usually rule his players, there is one person on that field who has total authority, the umpire. When he speaks everyone must listen. When he says "play ball," they all play ball. When he says "You're out of here," you take a walk to the locker room, and no matter how loud you yell and protest, there is no way to get back into the game.
When the umpire had had enough, he sent both coaches back to their dugouts, the players went back to their positions, and the game continued. The tense situation was over and the game was completed.
While Job thought there was no umpire who could mediate between God and man, there actually was, it was Jesus Christ. Jesus stepped in and brought peace between God and man, even between you and God.
In the game of life, Jesus is the spiritual umpire who can control your actions and reactions. Don't strikeout on your own. Don't be disqualified by not showing up for the game. Let Jesus call you safe at home plate (Heaven) one day!
Daily Prayer Focus: Praise God for Jesus as He serves as a Mediator on your behalf.
On The Go Prayer Focus: The follow-up of inquirers who come publicly and make decisions for Christ, write in for materials to grow in Christ, or who visit our website looking for help in following Christ. Pray for local believers, churches, parents, and friends who all will be used of God to nurture each and every one to maturity in Christ.

Strange But True
On The Go Daily Devotion For April 1, 2012
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
Strange But True by Laurie McTier
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." Psalms 14:1
In the sixteenth century, some countries celebrated the start of their new year on April 1st. In 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar where the New Year fell on January 1st. In those days, technology was not as advanced as it is today, so news traveled very slowly. Many continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st. The individuals who had heard the news played pranks or tricks on those who had not heard and called them "April Fools".
Biblically speaking, the only real fool in today's society is the individual who does not let his or her life count for God. The wise man will receive his reward as he has sought to honor God with his life and has endeavored to tell others about Him. The fool is the man who has chosen to deny God or has become disobedient to His commandments.
We are God's Ambassadors. He wants us to allow our life to count for Him, to make an impact in our society. He has given to us the charge of the Great Commission so that we will tell others of His love and sacrifice that they may have eternal life. May the Great Commission not become the Great Omission in our life.
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray for wisdom as you seek to allow your life to count for God.
On The Go Prayer Focus: Keith Cook Crusades, Celebrations, and Festivals. God has given Keith the opportunity and privilege of sharing the message of Christ both stateside and internationally. During each opportunity, Keith presents a joyful and enthusiastic, yet powerful and clear presentation of the Gospel and a call to commitment to Christ.
