On The Go Daily Devotion for July 7, 2011
Brought to you each day by

Holiness by Carey Smith
"Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the LORD your God. Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the LORD, who makes you holy." Leviticus 20:7-8
How would you define "Holy"? Here is how Webster's defines it: "Exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness." That sounds like a pretty good way to describe the holiness of God. Who is worthy of complete devotion? Who is perfect in goodness and righteousness? According to the word of God, only He is.
In contrast, these verses give us a hint about our righteousness before God. "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed." John 3:19-20
Simply put, we would choose darkness because we hate the light. We cannot even stand in His presence because of our guilt and our sin. It amazes me that God will make us holy in His sight. There is no other way for us to be holy other than by His hand. There is nothing we can do; there is nothing we can say. Even consecrating ourselves requires God to declare us holy. Because of His righteous and pure nature, there is no one other than He who has the ability to sanctify, consecrate, and purify us to make us holy.
Even though there is nothing we can do to become holy, God does ask us to keep His decrees and follow His commands. Why, because He is the Lord God. Does He need a reason beyond that? Does He need a reason at all?
Daily Prayer Focus: Lord, Mold me and make me into your image. Lord, purify my heart, and may others see the hand of God at work in my life.
On The Go Prayer Focus: Pray for Keith Cook and the Proclamation Evangelism Network Board Members who are making strategic decisions regarding upcoming evangelistic crusades and festivals worldwide in 2011-2012.

Man Of God
On The Go Daily Devotion for July 6, 2011
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
Man Of God by Keith Cook based on 3 John
Rise up men of God. God is looking for you to be a champion for Him in our day and time. In order to be a "Man of God" you must look into His Word and heed His advice. Listed below are seven things God wants you to know about being a "Man of God."
1. You are Loved by God and by those who are spiritual (3 John 1)
God really loves you and wants you to know that you are appreciated by all those who are in the truth. Godly men appreciate other men who are striving to be Godly. The "Godly Man's Club" is always looking for new members.
God has always looked for men to lead His church and lead out in society. When a man feels the love of God and knows he has a purpose in life he will follow God's call to the ends of the earth.
2. You must be Prayed Up (3 John 2)
Pray if you want to be a man of God. Do not neglect your devotional times with God. Pray to God about every area of your life. When you can not pray you are often in need of prayer the most. Repent and go to God immediately. Do not let sin, pride, time, or habits, rob you of your spiritual power.
3. You must be Spoken Well Of (3 John 3)
Walking In Faith produces results and people actually take notice. They know you have been with Jesus. Walk in a way worthy of your call. You are a Christian. This means you are "Christ Like."
4. A man of God Works To Help Others (3 John 5)
You help them Accomplish much. You also join in the Accomplishment. There is a greater Joy that comes into your life when you act faithful in regards to others. Send Out Ministers In A Way Worthy of God. You ought to support those who go out for the sake of the Name.
5. A man of God is Rewarded For Helping Others (3 John 8)
There is joy and a promise of God's favor for those who help others. God will help you as you help others.
6. Don't Work against God's Plan or Man (3 John 9)
Fight hard against that manly nature that wants his way and his opinion to rule the day. Learn how to work with others and not have to have your plan and opinion set the agenda of your church or ministry. Relax and let God direct. If someone in spiritual authority is living in sin go to them and rebuke them in private. Then if they repent you have a brother for life. Do not fight in public or sow discord in private.
7. Imitate Good Not Evil - (3 John 11)
Make sure you have godly mentors in your life. Sports personalities and corporate leaders are not always the best models to learn from. Look to God to help you learn how to be a man. A real man of God is constantly growing and working on his spiritual life. Avoid evil and do good.
Daily Prayer Focus: Create in me a Clean Heart O God. Fashion me into your Image.
On The Go Prayer Focus: The Development Ministries of On The Go. This ministry team helps On The Go stay on the go! Many individuals want to make an investment in eternity through On The Go Ministries. Through their wills, trusts, monthly electronic funds transfers, donations of stocks, and planned giving they do just that. If you are interested in helping On The Go take the Gospel around the world through your giving and financial support please let them know. Visit OnTheGo.org for details.

The Power In Jesus Name
On The Go Daily Devotion for July 5, 2011
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
The Power In Jesus Name by Keith Cook
“Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of Jesus.” Colossians 3:17
In our culture parents give their children names for many different reasons.
Some name their children after relatives, to honor the memory and legacy of that particular family member.
Some name their children after hero's and celebrities. I have a friend who named their son Walker after "Walker Texas Ranger."
Many give their children names based on fads and cultural trends.
Some of the most popular names for boys and girls born last year were:
Baby Girl Names: Emily, Emma, Madison, Abigail, Olivia, Isabella, Hannah, Samantha, Ava, Ashley
Baby Boy Names: Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Matthew, Ethan, Andrew, Daniel, Anthony, Christopher, Joseph
Some name their children after biblical personalities or because of the actual meaning behind the name.
The name Gene means Well born, Bobby - Bright Fame, Don - Ruler, Harry - Home Ruler, Ray - Counselor & Protector, Alan - Handsome", Keith - Mighty Warrior, Joan - God's Gift.
Names in Old Testament and New Testament reflected the hopes and dreams of entire families as well as the destiny and divine nature of God's redemptive plan as it unfolded down through the ages.
David's name meant Beloved, Moses - Drawn out one, Abraham - Father of a multitude, Jacob - Trickster, Israel - He will rule, Peter - Rock.
Jesus name means Jehovah (Yahweh) is Savior. Jehovah is the redemptive name of God in the Old Testament and it means the "self-Existing One or the Eternal One." Yahweh literally means "He is." I am that I am! Jesus name manifests His Character (Purity), Presence (Eternal), Power (Unlimited) and Authority (Divine)!
Jesus came to earth to save all mankind. He came to rescue all from danger. He also came to keep his flock safe and sound for now and through eternity. The real power in Jesus name is Jesus himself. There is nothing magical about the letters that form the name. Frantically yelling out Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, will not help anyone. But, calling on the name of the Lord represented by the name Jesus will. When you call out to the Saviour of mankind He hears. When you call on Him to direct your life He will. Call on the real Jesus. Do not take the name of the Lord you God in Vain!
Daily Prayer Focus: Praise God that when you call on Jesus name, all things are possible.
On The Go Prayer Focus: Joan Cook's "Women On The Go" Ministries. Joan's "Women On The Go" programs are implemented at women's conferences, local churches, retreats, and separate stand-alone events. God has given her a burden to minister to and encourage women in their walk with the Lord. Pray for Joan as she ministers and shares from her heart and as she presents motivational, evangelistic programs, materials, and leadership to and for women that will challenge and motivate them to a deeper walk with the Lord.

Happy Independence Day!
On The Go Daily Devotion for July 4, 2011
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
Happy Independence Day! by Joan and Keith Cook
"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness." 1 Timothy 2:1,2
July 4th is a wonderful holiday here in the United States! Independence and freedom are something we, as Americans, often times take for granted. It is hard for us to imagine living in a country where we are not free to express our own views, worship as we please, go to the store and find anything we could possible want, sleep in a home that is heated and cooled at our whim, get in your car and drive where we please, or any other number of things we so easily take for granted.
As Americans, we have a responsibility to pray for the leaders of our country:
Pray for President Obama
Pray for Vice-president Biden
Pray for your Senators and Congressmen
Pray for all those who are in a leadership position in our nation
Pray for all the countries of the world and their leaders
If you travel around the world, as we do at On The Go, it does not take you long before you realize there is truly "no place like home". We have had the privilege to visit over 40 countries in our travels. While those countries and the people were so beautiful, hospitable, and proud of their own homeland, the United States is the place that Joan and I hold dear.
Lord Jesus, continue to stretch out your hand of blessing, love, and protection on this great Nation. Help this country never forget that it is only through You that our blessings come! I pray that we will continue to take those blessings and share them with others around the world. May we never forget that Jesus is the greatest blessing of them all!
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray for our troops as they are continuing to fight for our freedom. Pray against terrorism and that God would stop any evil plans that evil men have to hurt individuals world-wide.
On The Go Prayer Focus: On The Go's GoCare ministry. This is our acts of kindness and benevolence ministry department. The focus of our GoCare ministry is to reach out to physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of hurting individuals and to build bridges between churches and their communities.
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.

Confidence
On The Go Daily Devotion for July 3, 2011
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
Confidence by Laurie McTier
"For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou are my trust from my youth." Psalms 71:5
When I think of a confident individual, I think of one who is assured, willing to stand up, determined to defend and possess a great conviction.
God has called each of us as believers to let our light shine before men that they will see His Spirit at work in our lives. He has called us to fulfill the Great Commission.
When I look at today's scripture, I am reminded that God is our Hope and our Confidence. Our calling and ministry today comes from the Lord. Whatever your hands find to do, do it and serve Him wholeheartedly.
As you serve today, go out in confidence. God has gone out before you. He will guide you and give you the words to share. He has called you and equipped you for all that you will do today.
Go forward in Confidence!
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray for our country on the eve of the Fourth of July Holiday. Pray for our law enforcement agencies. Stand against terrorism. Pray for peace!
On The Go Prayer Focus: Praise God for the boldness He has given to each of our team members as they have ministered this week in Uganda. Please pray for their safe journey back home.
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.

Finish Well!
On The Go Daily Devotion for July 2, 2011
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
Finish Well! by Keith Cook
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord... will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing." 2 Timothy 4:7,8
Not to long ago I met with one of Billy Graham's associates and I asked him what his goal was for the next few years of ministry. He said his number one goal was to help Dr. Graham finish well.
He then went on to say that most great leaders and ministers often lose focus and get off track at the end of a project or even at the end of their life. God wants all of us to finish well.
David, in the Bible, lost his focus once and stayed back from his job, allowing someone else to go off and fight for him. The Bible says that when it was time for kings to go out for war David was home looking and lusting at another man's wife. He should have been out finishing his work that God had given him, not home making excuses why he was not needed and letting his wandering eyes and lustful passions control his life.
Commit today to finish all you are doing for God well. Don't slack up or let others do your job. Make a mark and keep on making a difference.
Press on to the prize, finish well!
1. Have you lost your focus at any time while serving God?
2. What else could God be calling you to do to help others?
3. Who have you let do your job or made suffer because of your lack of focus?
4. Ask for forgiveness and thank those you regularly minister with for bearing with you and helping you be all God wants you to be!
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray today for your God given and God called ministry. Resubmit your life to God's direction!
On The Go Prayer Focus: Uganda Festival / GoTeam. Continue to pray for favor, opportunity, decisions and God's will to be done. Pray that the team will finish well.

Harvest Time is NOW!
On The Go Daily Devotion For July 1, 2011
Brought to you each day by
Keith Cook Evangelistic Association / On The Go
Harvest Time is NOW! - By Keith Cook
"He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son." Proverbs 10:5
Being at the right place at the right time is so exciting. If you take ministry opportunities for God this week, then these days will be very explosive days and nights. I believe that this is God's time for revival.
If you have sought God about what you are to do for Him this week then right now YOU are right where God wants you to be. You are boldly ready to proclaim the right message.
It is harvest time, and you are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. You are more than able through Christ to work in the fields. The fruit is ripe and ready to be picked for God's kingdom.
Each day each Christian has different responsibilities given to them by God. You have God given responsibilities and divine opportunities. Sometimes you will have fun working for God and sometimes you will work yourself to death.
Keep up a good spirit as you look for open doors to share for Christ.
Try not to let people see you getting frustrated, tired, or upset in serving the Lord.
Do not complain or give the Devil any opportunity to harm the work of Christ.
While we have time, we need to be laboring for Jesus Christ.
If we labor for Him our labor will not be in vain.
Personal Prayer Focus: "Onward Christian Soldiers" is your battle cry. Pray that you will Run to the Battle and that the Harvest will be Plentiful.
On The Go Prayer Focus: Uganda Festival Team ministering in Uganda through July 3, 2011. The Jesus Festival is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Pray for a mighty move of God across the nation of Uganda as the Gospel is presented and for a bountiful harvest of souls. We will try to update our website daily as we have reports. Our web address is www.onthego.org. Thanks for your prayers and support.
