The Servant’s Primary Goal

March 17th, 2014 by JDVaughn No comments »

We make it our aim . . . to be well pleasing to Him —2 Corinthians 5:9


We make it our aim. . . .” It requires a conscious decision and effort to keep our primary goal constantly in front of us. It means holding ourselves to the highest priority year in and year out; not making our first priority to win souls, or to establish churches, or to have revivals, but seeking only “to be well pleasing to Him.” It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal. At least once a week examine yourself before God to see if your life is measuring up to the standard He has for you. Paul was like a musician who gives no thought to audience approval, if he can only catch a look of approval from his Conductor.Any goal we have that diverts us even to the slightest degree from the central goal of being “approved to God” (2 Timothy 2:15) may result in our rejection from further service for Him. When you discern where the goal leads, you will understand why it is so necessary to keep “looking unto Jesus” (Hebrews 12:2). Paul spoke of the importance of controlling his own body so that it would not take him in the wrong direction. He said, “I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest . . . I myself should become disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:27).I must learn to relate everything to the primary goal, maintaining it without interruption. My worth to God publicly is measured by what I really am in my private life. Is my primary goal in life to please Him and to be acceptable to Him, or is it something less, no matter how lofty it may sound?____________________________________________________________

Journal entry for today-JDV

Lord, it seems that this is too easy and too difficult a path; too easy to say I want to be focused on You and allow my focus on You to transform me, and too hard to stay on track without the rules and regulations of religion.  I like the thought of the freedom and spirituality of simply being focused on You, but sometimes it seems too easy to slip back into my old ways and means. How can I solve this dilemma?

And God says…”It is not a dilemma to be solved any more than it is a religion to be followed; it is your life to be lived and you are being transformed as you live it and are connected. Jesus has done the work that needs to be done; the work for you is complete. The work in you is being completed as you are connected to Jesus.  You are not to be concerned with the “how” of it, just the goal of being connected to Jesus.  Seek first the kingdom of God, which is Jesus, and everything else you need, including how to live the life of a believer, will be provided. There is no “your part, My part.”  You have no part in your transformation except to trust and obey, and live by faith connected to Me.  And when you cannot or do not trust and obey, know that the sacrifice of Jesus has provided for that as well.  Grace provides the bridge.”

Obedience to the “Heavenly Vision”

March 11th, 2014 by JDVaughn No comments »

I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision —Acts 26:19

)
(Oswald Chambers 1901 est.) If we lose “the heavenly vision” God has given us, we alone are responsible— not God. We lose the vision because of our own lack of spiritual growth. If we do not apply our beliefs about God to the issues of everyday life, the vision God has given us will never be fulfilled. The only way to be obedient to “the heavenly vision” is to give our utmost for His highest— our best for His glory. This can be accomplished only when we make a determination to continually remember God’s vision. But the acid test is obedience to the vision in the details of our everyday life— sixty seconds out of every minute, and sixty minutes out of every hour, not just during times of personal prayer or public meetings.“Though it tarries, wait for it . . .” (Habakkuk 2:3). We cannot bring the vision to fulfillment through our own efforts, but must live under its inspiration until it fulfills itself. We try to be so practical that we forget the vision. At the very beginning we saw the vision but did not wait for it. We rushed off to do our practical work, and once the vision was fulfilled we could no longer even see it. Waiting for a vision that “tarries” is the true test of our faithfulness to God. It is at the risk of our own soul’s welfare that we get caught up in practical busy-work, only to miss the fulfillment of the vision.Watch for the storms of God. The only way God plants His saints is through the whirlwind of His storms. Will you be proven to be an empty pod with no seed inside? That will depend on whether or not you are actually living in the light of the vision you have seen. Let God send you out through His storm, and don’t go until He does. If you select your own spot to be planted, you will prove yourself to be an unproductive, empty pod. However, if you allow God to plant you, you will “bear much fruit” (John 15:8).It is essential that we live and “walk in the light” of God’s vision for us (1 John 1:7).

Journal Entry for Today-JDV

Lord, like the song says; won’t You please write Your story on my heart? I don’t believe it is supposed to be my vision; it can only be of real value to me if You write the story; plant Your vision. The vision can only be real if it comes from you.  Yesterday in the devotional we learned that we are shaped by the storms of life. Chambers reminds us today that it is the way You plant your children….. “Watch for the storms of God. The only way God plants His saints is through the whirlwind of His storms”. Lord, please plant Your vision, and write Your story on my heart today.”

And God says…”Just as you have been learning over the days, weeks, months and years, your life will come alive and be abundant when you are connected to me. Let Me live through you. It is the same with your vision for life. But do not look for Me to roll out the vision in one all consuming, sweeping vision that outlines My entire plan for you. I roll out your vision and your abundant life as you trust me one minute, hour and day at a time. I write my story on your heart one step at a time. With minute by minute faith, it is rolled out to you as you live trusting Me. Let Me be the lamp for your feet and life as I roll out your vision and story, over time; step by step.”

Being an Example of His Message

March 10th, 2014 by JDVaughn No comments »

Preach the word! —2 Timothy 4:2


(Oswald Chambers-1901 est.) We are not saved only to be instruments for God, but to be His sons and daughters. He does not turn us into spiritual agents but into spiritual messengers, and the message must be a part of us. The Son of God was His own message— “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). As His disciples, our lives must be a holy example of the reality of our message. Even the natural heart of the unsaved will serve if called upon to do so, but it takes a heart broken by conviction of sin, baptized by the Holy Spirit, and crushed into submission to God’s purpose to make a person’s life a holy example of God’s message.There is a difference between giving a testimony and preaching. A preacher is someone who has received the call of God and is determined to use all his energy to proclaim God’s truth. God takes us beyond our own aspirations and ideas for our lives, and molds and shapes us for His purpose, just as He worked in the disciples’ lives after Pentecost. The purpose of Pentecost was not to teach the disciples something, but to make them the incarnation of what they preached so that they would literally become God’s message in the flesh. “. . . you shall be witnesses to Me . . .” (Acts 1:8).Allow God to have complete liberty in your life when you speak. Before God’s message can liberate other people, His liberation must first be real in you. Gather your material carefully, and then allow God to “set your words on fire” for His glory.______________________________________________________________March 10, 2014Journal for Today-JDV

Good morning Lord; one more day, one more opportunity to allow You to live through me.  God, I pray that you will make me a man after your own heart.  But I must confess, I am not anxious to be molded by the trials and flames that seem to be closest at hand in Your toolbox for accomplishing that goal. Just because I know trials can have a perfect result, does not mean I am eager to live them out to their desired result. And while I understand that You will only allow circumstances that are “good for me” to touch me; and I also know that You will bring me through them, better than I was, I still resist. Please help me understand, know and accept that You are working in me so that I can become a man after Your own heart.

And God says…” Some of My very best work in you relative to reaching others has occurred when you are unaware. Many times you have faced difficulties and many times you have trusted Me to bring you through them. This has not gone unobserved. And know that when you feel pain, and heartache, I feel it as well. It is why I sent Jesus. You cannot face any trial or circumstance He has not faced.  And the world is filled with trials and difficult circumstances.  Trust in Me, and do not rely on yourself, and I will make your paths straight. Seek first the Kingdom of God and everything you need, including the trials, circumstances and opportunities to reach others will be provided.  You may not even know you are reaching others, you may not be aware that that I am using a difficult time to teach you and reach someone. Trust Me and know that if I would not spare my own Son, I will likewise not deny you any good thing.”

Is He Really My Lord?

March 5th, 2014 by JDVaughn No comments »

. . . so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus . . . —Acts 20:24


Joy comes from seeing the complete fulfillment of the specific purpose for which I was created and born again, not from successfully doing something of my own choosing. The joy our Lord experienced came from doing what the Father sent Him to do. And He says to us, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21). Have you received a ministry from the Lord? If so, you must be faithful to it— to consider your life valuable only for the purpose of fulfilling that ministry. Knowing that you have done what Jesus sent you to do, think how satisfying it will be to hear Him say to you, “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21). We each have to find a niche in life, and spiritually we find it when we receive a ministry from the Lord. To do this we must have close fellowship with Jesus and must know Him as more than our personal Savior. And we must be willing to experience the full impact of Acts 9:16 — “I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”“Do you love Me?” Then, “Feed My sheep” (John 21:17). He is not offering us a choice of how we can serve Him; He is asking for absolute loyalty to His commission, a faithfulness to what we discern when we are in the closest possible fellowship with God. If you have received a ministry from the Lord Jesus, you will know that the need is not the same as the call— the need is the opportunity to exercise the call. The call is to be faithful to the ministry you received when you were in true fellowship with Him. This does not imply that there is a whole series of differing ministries marked out for you. It does mean that you must be sensitive to what God has called you to do, and this may sometimes require ignoring demands for service in other areas.

Journal for Today-JDV

Lord, I am not sure about the notion that there is a specific purpose for which I was created, and all that I must do is “discover” the purpose You have laid out for me. I know we spend a lot of time contemplating and searching for the “niche” in life we have been taught is laid out by You. I used to have the idea that all I needed to be fulfilled was to learn my calling and then pursue it.  However, lately I have wondered. I cannot imagine that You would be anything less that crystal clear in communicating Your direction and calling for my life. I cannot imagine that I must go looking for my calling. If it is truly my calling I suspect there will be no doubt and You will, like always, be crystal clear.

And God says…”There is no search required, just surrender. You cannot “figure out” or “discern” the mind of God. And your logic has no place in discovering or understanding My plans. You cannot fit Me into your ideas of what is or is not “My way”. Simply trust Me with all your heart, and let go off your own notions of service. When you are surrendered and connected to me I can live and serve through you. When you seek Jesus first, you are transformed and certain about your next steps… the next few steps. I light your way like a lamp, a step or two at a time. And as you continue to live connected to Me, and believe I will meet all your needs, I roll out your vision and your path (s) for service one hour, one day, at a time. And when I bring you to it, you can rest assured that I will bring you through it. Trust in Me with all our heart and do not rely on your own understanding or abilities, and I will make your paths straight.”

Is This True of Me?

March 4th, 2014 by JDVaughn No comments »

None of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself . . . —Acts 20:24


It is easier to serve or work for God without a vision and without a call, because then you are not bothered by what He requires. Common sense, covered with a layer of Christian emotion, becomes your guide. You may be more prosperous and successful from the world’s perspective, and will have more leisure time, if you never acknowledge the call of God. But once you receive a commission from Jesus Christ, the memory of what God asks of you will always be there to prod you on to do His will. You will no longer be able to work for Him on the basis of common sense.What do I count in my life as “dear to myself”? If I have not been seized by Jesus Christ and have not surrendered myself to Him, I will consider the time I decide to give God and my own ideas of service as dear. I will also consider my own life as “dear to myself.” But Paul said he considered his life dear so that he might fulfill the ministry he had received, and he refused to use his energy on anything else. This verse shows an almost noble annoyance by Paul at being asked to consider himself. He was absolutely indifferent to any consideration other than that of fulfilling the ministry he had received. Our ordinary and reasonable service to God may actually compete against our total surrender to Him. Our reasonable work is based on the following argument which we say to ourselves, “Remember how useful you are here, and think how much value you would be in that particular type of work.” That attitude chooses our own judgment, instead of Jesus Christ, to be our guide as to where we should go and where we could be used the most. Never consider whether or not you are of use— but always consider that “you are not your own” (1 Corinthians 6:19). You are His.

Lord, thank You for reminding me with the devotional and music, that we can do anything when we are connected to You. However, every time I face a major trial or threatening circumstance, I freeze up a bit. It is not that I believe You cannot quiet the storm or rescue me from the “edge” of disaster. I believe You are God and can do anything. But I wonder and question my worthiness. Why would You want to lift me up, and save me from disaster or provide for me given my tendency to stray?  I know you can do anything God. But I question your willingness to do anything for me.

And God says…”The enemy wants you to believe that you are not worthy, and of course, on your own you are not worthy. However, Jesus is worthy and as a result of His sacrifice, you become worthy. You are worthy because of Jesus, not because of anything you have done; or will do.

When I look at you, I see Jesus, and His perfection, and I will meet all your needs. Seek first the Kingdom of God, which is Jesus, and I will meet every need you have. Delight yourself in the Lord and I will give you the desires of your heart. You are not required to do anything except believe in Jesus. And when you surrender your attempts at “being a better person or better Christian” and simply let Jesus live through you, you discover a victorious and abundant life.”

His Commission to Us

March 3rd, 2014 by JDVaughn No comments »

Feed My sheep —John 21:17


This is love in the making. The love of God is not created— it is His nature. When we receive the life of Christ through the Holy Spirit, He unites us with God so that His love is demonstrated in us. The goal of the indwelling Holy Spirit is not just to unite us with God, but to do it in such a way that we will be one with the Father in exactly the same way Jesus was. And what kind of oneness did Jesus Christ have with the Father? He had such a oneness with the Father that He was obedient when His Father sent Him down here to be poured out for us. And He says to us, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21).Peter now realizes that he does love Him, due to the revelation that came with the Lord’s piercing question. The Lord’s next point is— “Pour yourself out. Don’t testify about how much you love Me and don’t talk about the wonderful revelation you have had, just ’Feed My sheep.’ ” Jesus has some extraordinarily peculiar sheep: some that are unkempt and dirty, some that are awkward or pushy, and some that have gone astray! But it is impossible to exhaust God’s love, and it is impossible to exhaust my love if it flows from the Spirit of God within me. The love of God pays no attention to my prejudices caused by my natural individuality. If I love my Lord, I have no business being guided by natural emotions— I have to feed His sheep. We will not be delivered or released from His commission to us. Beware of counterfeiting the love of God by following your own natural human emotions, sympathies, or understandings. That will only serve to revile and abuse the true love of God.

Journal for Today-JDV

Father God, thank you for the reminder that the love, power, and grace to feed Your sheep comes from Jesus. In my best natural condition, I am neither able nor qualified to represent You to others. And even if I do say the right things, and reference the proper scriptures, in my best natural condition, I am not able to “feed Your sheep”. Thank You for reminding me that I am only able to “feed Your sheep” when I am connected to You and Jesus is living through me. Jesus, please live through me this day.

And God says…” You are a vessel through which I can  reach and serve others. I can reach others any way that I choose; and often reach them through the natural wonders and heavenly bodies of the universe. However, when you and I are connected and Jesus is living though you; you can touch others and we are all blessed. Often, when we are connected you will not even be aware that you are feeding My sheep, it simply occurs as a matter of course in your day to day, and hour by hour living. The lesson is the same once again; be connected to Jesus and everything else, including feeding my sheep can and will flow out of our connection. Seek first the Kingdom of God, which is Jesus,  and everything else you need, including the blessing of feeding My sheep will be provided.”

The Impoverished Ministry of Jesus

February 27th, 2014 by Dave No comments »

Where then do You get that living water? —John 4:11

“The well is deep”— and even a great deal deeper than the Samaritan woman knew! (John 4:11). Think of the depths of human nature and human life; think of the depth of the “wells” in you. Have you been limiting, or impoverishing, the ministry of Jesus to the point that He is unable to work in your life? Suppose that you have a deep “well” of hurt and trouble inside your heart, and Jesus comes and says to you, “Let not your heart be troubled . . .” (John 14:1). Would your response be to shrug your shoulders and say, “But, Lord, the well is too deep, and even You can’t draw up quietness and comfort out of it.” Actually, that is correct. Jesus doesn’t bring anything up from the wells of human nature— He brings them down from above. We limit the Holy One of Israel by remembering only what we have allowed Him to do for us in the past, and also by saying, “Of course, I cannot expect God to do this particular thing.” The thing that approaches the very limits of His power is the very thing we as disciples of Jesus ought to believe He will do. We impoverish and weaken His ministry in us the moment we forget He is almighty. The impoverishment is in us, not in Him. We will come to Jesus for Him to be our comforter or our sympathizer, but we refrain from approaching Him as our Almighty God.

The reason some of us are such poor examples of Christianity is that we have failed to recognize that Christ is almighty. We have Christian attributes and experiences, but there is no abandonment or surrender to Jesus Christ. When we get into difficult circumstances, we impoverish His ministry by saying, “Of course, He can’t do anything about this.” We struggle to reach the bottom of our own well, trying to get water for ourselves. Beware of sitting back, and saying, “It can’t be done.” You will know it can be done if you will look to Jesus. The well of your incompleteness runs deep, but make the effort to look away from yourself and to look toward Him.

Our Misgivings About Jesus

February 26th, 2014 by JDVaughn No comments »

The woman said to Him, ’Sir, You have nothing to draw [water] with, and the well is deep’ —John 4:11


Have you ever said to yourself, “I am impressed with the wonderful truths of God’s Word, but He can’t really expect me to live up to that and work all those details into my life!” When it comes to confronting Jesus Christ on the basis of His qualities and abilities, our attitudes reflect religious superiority. We think His ideals are lofty and they impress us, but we believe He is not in touch with reality— that what He says cannot actually be done. Each of us thinks this about Jesus in one area of our life or another. These doubts or misgivings about Jesus begin as we consider questions that divert our focus away from God. While we talk of our dealings with Him, others ask us, “Where are you going to get enough money to live? How will you live and who will take care of you?” Or our misgivings begin within ourselves when we tell Jesus that our circumstances are just a little too difficult for Him. We say, “It’s easy to say, ’Trust in the Lord,’ but a person has to live; and besides, Jesus has nothing with which to draw water— no means to be able to give us these things.” And beware of exhibiting religious deceit by saying, “Oh, I have no misgivings about Jesus, only misgivings about myself.” If we are honest, we will admit that we never have misgivings or doubts about ourselves, because we know exactly what we are capable or incapable of doing. But we do have misgivings about Jesus. And our pride is hurt even at the thought that He can do what we can’t.My misgivings arise from the fact that I search within to find how He will do what He says. My doubts spring from the depths of my own inferiority. If I detect these misgivings in myself, I should bring them into the light and confess them openly— “Lord, I have had misgivings about You. I have not believed in Your abilities, but only my own. And I have not believed in Your almighty power apart from my finite understanding of it.”____________________________________________________________

February 26, 2014-JDV

Lord, I press on even though I don’t get it. I press on trusting You are still working on me, and you do not keep score. You do not count the number of times I trust myself instead of You, or the number of times I simply get it wrong. I am so thankful that You do not see my failures and imperfection. Thank You for seeing Jesus and His perfection when you look at me.

And God says…”Jesus is the way we are connected.  When you give up your own ideas of how to live and give it to Jesus, you can be connected to Me. And then I can guide your steps. Acknowledge Me in all your ways, do not rely on your own ways and means, and I will make your paths straight. It is a very good thing when your hopes and vision for your life are so grand that you absolutely know that they can never be realized apart from Me. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.”

The Destitution of Service

February 25th, 2014 by Dave No comments »

. . though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved —2 Corinthians 12:15


Natural human love expects something in return. But Paul is saying, “It doesn’t really matter to me whether you love me or not. I am willing to be completely destitute anyway; willing to be poverty-stricken, not just for your sakes, but also that I may be able to get you to God.” “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor . . .” (2 Corinthians 8:9). And Paul’s idea of service was the same as our Lord’s. He did not care how high the cost was to himself— he would gladly pay it. It was a joyful thing to Paul.

The institutional church’s idea of a servant of God is not at all like Jesus Christ’s idea. His idea is that we serve Him by being the servants of others. Jesus Christ actually “out-socialized” the socialists. He said that in His kingdom the greatest one would be the servant of all (see Matthew 23:11). The real test of a saint is not one’s willingness to preach the gospel, but one’s willingness to do something like washing the disciples’ feet— that is, being willing to do those things that seem unimportant in human estimation but count as everything to God. It was Paul’s delight to spend his life for God’s interests in other people, and he did not care what it cost. But before we will serve, we stop to ponder our personal and financial concerns— “What if God wants me to go over there? And what about my salary? What is the climate like there? Who will take care of me? A person must consider all these things.” All that is an indication that we have reservations about serving God. But the apostle Paul had no conditions or reservations. Paul focused his life on Jesus Christ’s idea of a New Testament saint; that is, not one who merely proclaims the gospel, but one who becomes broken bread and poured-out wine in the hands of Jesus Christ for the sake of others.

Lord, once again Oswald Chambers lays big blocks of guilt and responsibility on us about our commitment and service. And while I agree with the outcomes, it seems like something is missing; namely that in my own strength and motivation, I simply lack the ability to “do something”.  Not only will I do nothing; left to my own devices, I will be consumed by own needs and concerns.  Thank You for showing me that I can only “do something” or properly serve others when I am connected to You and You are serving others through me.

And God says…”Left to your own strength and motivations, you may reach out and help others occasionally. You might occasionally “do something” for those in need, but the effort will wear you out. If you are not first connected and being led and directed by Jesus, the results will not be substantial, or lasting. (Apart from Me you can do nothing) I do not want your guilt or obligation as the motivating factors for service, any more than I want your worship, study and prayer out of obligation. I want our relationship and your service to rise up from love.  You will find this capacity for love, service, worship and our relationship in the person of Jesus.   Be connected to Jesus and be transformed into a man that loves to serve and worship.  Acknowledge the Lord in all your ways and He will make your paths straight…..and you will be amazed at your capacity to (as the song says) “do something ”

The Delight of Sacrifice

February 24th, 2014 by JDVaughn No comments »

I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls . . . —2 Corinthians 12:15


Once “the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,” we deliberately begin to identify ourselves with Jesus Christ’s interests and purposes in others’ lives (Romans 5:5). And Jesus has an interest in every individual person. We have no right in Christian service to be guided by our own interests and desires. In fact, this is one of the greatest tests of our relationship with Jesus Christ. The delight of sacrifice is that I lay down my life for my Friend, Jesus (see John 15:13). I don’t throw my life away, but I willingly and deliberately lay it down for Him and His interests in other people. And I do this for no cause or purpose of my own. Paul spent his life for only one purpose— that he might win people to Jesus Christ. Paul always attracted people to his Lord, but never to himself. He said, “I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some” (1 Corinthians 9:22).When someone thinks that to develop a holy life he must always be alone with God, he is no longer of any use to others. This is like putting himself on a pedestal and isolating himself from the rest of society. Paul was a holy person, but wherever he went Jesus Christ was always allowed to help Himself to his life. Many of us are interested only in our own goals, and Jesus cannot help Himself to our lives. But if we are totally surrendered to Him, we have no goals of our own to serve. Paul said that he knew how to be a “doormat” without resenting it, because the motivation of his life was devotion to Jesus. We tend to be devoted, not to Jesus Christ, but to the things which allow us more spiritual freedom than total surrender to Him would allow. Freedom was not Paul’s motive at all. In fact, he stated, “I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren . . .” (Romans 9:3). Had Paul lost his ability to reason? Not at all! For someone who is in love, this is not an overstatement. And Paul was in love with Jesus Christ.

Lord, when you are close to me, (or should I say when I am close to you?) I seem to know instinctively how to live out your love. The open engagement of and for others seems to just flow out of me.  I don’t need to search for opportunities or Christian encounters; they simply present themselves.  Lord, when I am truly connected to You, life is effortless, and my circumstances do not sway me one way or another.  Help me be and stay connected to You this day.

And God says…” I came to give you life and life more abundantly.  All you need do is claim and live the abundant life. I have already provided the way.  Simply trust in Me with all your heart, do not rely on your own devices, and I will make your paths straight. Delight yourself in the me and I will give you the desires of your heart.  Regardless of your status, circumstance or condition, reach out to connect with Me every morning, surrender your will, and your transformed abundant life will manifest itself in a myriad of ways. You will naturally impact others as you live the connected abundant daily life.”
