ITâS ALL ABOUT JESUS
by Dudley Anderson GodTracker 806 Colossians 3:17 “It’s all about Jesus.” I sensed the words of the Holy Spirit burn in my heart as I gazed out the window while in prayer. I’d sat down on the floor in my room next to the window, as I usually do when I have my time of devotions in the morning. I was praying about my work. I currently have several irons in the fire and often become so consumed with my work that I forget why I do what I do. One of my favourite chapters in the Bible is Colossians chapter 3. The chapter begins with the words, “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God,” (NIV). Further on we read that whatever we do in life as Christian believers, we are to do in the name of Jesus. That is, every aspect of our life and work (whatever that work might be) needs to be done with one focus: Christ. The words “in Christ” appear 97 times in the English Standard Version of the Bible. You are a new creation in Christ. You have all your needs met in Christ. You enjoy every spiritual blessing in Christ. And you are raised up and seated in heavenly places in Christ. If you know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and have committed your life to him then you are in Christ. What an auspicious position of vantage. Therefore, may we set out hearts on things above. All we are and all we do is all about Jesus!” God-tracking is making your life all about Jesus READ ALL ABOUT IT
DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY “Dear God, thank you so much that, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, I have been reconciled to you. I confess Jesus as my Lord and God and believe in my heart that he died and rose again. Therefore, I believe I am found in Christ. My life is hid in Christ. You meet all my needs in Christ. You lead me on the track of your will, in Christ. So, I set my mind on things above and commit my work and life to serving Jesus. Dear God, my life is all about Jesus. Amen.”
