On The Go with Jesus by Evangelist Keith Cook
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
Most people never really get outside their local church and serve Christ as a World Christian. I'm sure if you are reading this devotional from On The Go you are not like most people. You have already taken a giant step in hearing God's voice and responding to His call to service.
God is probably sending you out to do great and mighty things for Him every day. You may have heard it said "God does not send you out on a ten dollar mission with only nine dollars." What He initiates, He finishes. What He sponsors is successful. He has led you this far and His word says He will continue to make a way in the wilderness. Do not fear, we have His protection, and we are the "apple of His eye."
What makes a person bold? Does Christ want only "Super Hero" type Christians to follow Him into battle against Satan? True boldness is "Holy Boldness." Holy boldness comes when one is trusting in Christ for strength, not themselves.
When I stand up in the streets to preach, I must admit, each time I am afraid. Boldness is not automatic or continual. As I face a new situation I must call on Christ for guidance. He always gives me the right words to say. The Bible says not to worry, just be ready. "Having done all you can do to stand, stand!"
As you stand up for God at home, at work, at school, or on a mission project remember that you have hundreds of prayer partners and co-laborers around the world standing in the gap with you.
May God bless you as you continue to be "on the go"!
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray for the Lord's strength and for Holy Boldness as you share Christ.
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.
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.
