DAY 40: PURSUIT FOR RENEWAL – THE JOY OF THE LORD

"The joy of the Lord is your strength." (Nehemiah 8:10b)

A pastor said, “my wife and I have a go big or go home approach to our kids’ birthday parties. She loves hospitality and decorating, and I love creating games along with whatever theme our boys have chosen. One year I decided to create an entire Super Mario level in the backyard, and as it became more elaborate and the work piled up, I was driven even more to do whatever it took to build the obstacle course. Why? Because the joy welling up inside of me at the thought of my son’s excitement gave me all the motivation and strength I needed to do the job. Far greater is our joy in God and His love for us which can strengthen us for whatever work He is calling us to perform!

This is why we must first seek Him, remember His mercy and grace, and dwell on His delight in us. If we attempt to pursue revitalization because of obligation or guilt, we will be crushed by the weight and never find the refreshment we long for. But, if we work out of joy in the Lord, we will find strength and endurance for the road ahead.

REFLECT: How have you experienced joy supplying strength to your life or work? What lesser joys distract you from the greatest joy of knowing the Lord? What steps can you take to taste and see that the Lord is good?

PRAYER: Father, we pray as David did in Psalm 51: Restore to [us] the joy of our salvation. You are good, merciful, just, kind, gracious, and loving. May we be captivated by You and delight in You.

DAY 39: PURSUIT OF RENEWAL – DEPEND ON THE LORD

"If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Have you ever dreamed about a home project like replacing your kitchen countertops or building shelves in the garage? But, once you make the plans, you can get overwhelmed at the thought of taking the first step. Can we afford it right now? If you don’t have any experience with these things, determining where to start and how to handle inevitable problems along the way can easily keep you from doing anything at all.

How often this happens in the church. Over the last several weeks, we’ve gained a big picture of God’s design for our churches and His desire for our renewal. What an incredible picture of what could be! Our hearts long for God’s vision to be reality for our churches. But where do we start?

Here’s the great news: unlike “do it yourself” home projects, God provides the steps.
1. Humble yourself – Lay down your preferences and plans; prioritize God and others.
2. Pray – Rely on the Lord by crying out to him for what you need.
3. Turn and seek God – Turn from distractions and listen to the Lord in his Word.

REFLECT: What will you do immediately to begin to pursue personal renewal? How can your church practice these steps together?

PRAY: Father, forgive us for all the ways we have pursued things far less worthy than You. Help us to taste and see your goodness and to be totally dependent on You. May Your Spirit reinvigorate our love for You and others through the power of the gospel.

DAY 38: DISCIPLESHIP – A DISCIPLE’S EXPECTATION

"The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also." (2 Timothy 2:2)

A disciple of Jesus learns from Jesus, imitates Jesus’ life, and multiplies Jesus through other disciples. As Paul commands Timothy, multiplication of disciples is the responsibility of every disciple of Jesus. Timothy was expected to imitate Paul in discipling others, just as Paul had discipled Timothy. Paul left Timothy in Ephesus
to establish order, to provide theological clarity, and to develop leaders. All three actions are accomplished when disciples are multiplied. Most churches need revitalization because multiplication of disciples either stopped or never existed in the church.

REFLECT: As a disciple of Jesus, who knows Jesus and is following Jesus because of you? Who could you invite to learn to follow Jesus with you by praying and reading Scripture together?

PRAY: Lord Jesus, thank You for saving me from sin. I choose to die to my selfish desires and to follow You. Lord, show me people You are drawing to yourself for salvation and discipleship. Holy Spirit, make me sensitive to Your working in my life and in the life of another for Your glory. Jesus, revitalize Your church as we obey Your command to multiply disciples of You.

DAY 37: DISCIPLESHIP – A DISCIPLE’S DESIRE

Jesus said, “the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.” Then He said to them all: “whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.” (Luke 9:22-26)

Jesus never called anyone to be a Christian. He called people to be His disciples. A disciple learns from his master and imitates his master’s life. A disciple is never above his master.

Jesus warned that if anyone desired to follow Jim, three commands must be obeyed. A disciple of Jesus is commanded to deny, take up, and follow. All three commands require continual obedience.

First, denial of self means that self-preferences are to be put to death and buried to give obedience to the commands of Christ.

Second, to take up our cross daily involves foregoing personal desires for the sake of glorifying Christ. Jesus made this redemption of our life possible by His death on the cross.

Third, “Follow me” is a perpetual command of obeying Jesus’ commands so that disciples are made locally, nationally, and internationally through you, His disciple.

REFLECT: Entering the revitalization process can cause pain and challenge personal preferences. Therefore, these questions must be asked, daily: Are my preferences more important than Christ’s preferences? Am I desiring to glorify Christ or elevate me? Who guides my life — Christ or me?

PRAY: Lord Jesus, I surrender all of my life to You. Guide me by Your desires. What You desire is what I will desire. I will surrender to You today. Fill me with the Holy Spirit so that Your commands will be heard and obeyed, for Your glory alone.
