noun: zeal
great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective.
When I think about Zeal I consider Saul / Paul, Zealot in the most extreme. At first in pursuit against Christ and then after his conversion.
On the road to Damascus 110% all in for Jesus Christ.. White Hot.
Paul spoke of this in reference to the Jews, Romans 10:2 “They have a Zeal for God,but not according to knowledge"
Zeal for God begins with knowledge of God. Then moves to extreme passion. With accurate knowledge. A correct understanding of the glory,
holiness, perfection, sovereignty, and all-out magnificence of God!
With that passion for the truth. Our life will flow ….abundantly, overwhelming uncontainable action.
So fill your head with knowledge (truth ) from God's word. It will take root filling our hearts with passion
Making a life full of action
Godly Zeal !!
Read Revelation 1: 12-16
That truth of the glory of Jesus Christ will set your passion ablaze !!
What sets your passion ablaze? What makes you white hot, overwhelmed with the Glory of God?
For myself ……
Scripture ;
I love chasing truths in God's word, ( I call it chasing a rabbit )I start with a verse and follow the verse references where the same thing is spoken about in other passages. Look at other translations, read a concordance
Write notes on a subject or truth of God's word. It is so exciting to see the consistencies of God’s Holy Bible!
Prayer ….
Praise Him ….. Thank Him ….the hardest arithmetic to master is one that enables us to count our blessings….. ask him “ My people have not because they ask not “ His will not ours,His time not ours,
Ask Him for Godly Zeal He’ll ignite you!
Repent of your lukewarmness.
Keep a record of prayer requests and answered prayer
Look back at that over time and be amazed by his faithfulness…. His Mercy ….
His Grace …..His providence….
Worship ….
Nothing ignites my soul … my passion … them praise and worship music
To be enthralled …immersed….. overwhelmed ….with Instruments and voices in harmony Giving Glory and Praise To God Almighty !!
Be alert …the world needs more lerts
Be a Zealous for what is good, 1 Peter 3:13
