FAITH CAPSULE: The zeal of Jesus was to the glory of God.

John 2

Having the boldness and character to live for the glory of God is rooted in having zeal for God.
To have the zeal for God is not of determination alone but also having a desire for God.
The zeal of Jesus was to the glory of God.
To have the zeal for God is to live life, seeking God diligently.
The zeal of Jesus is the documentation for all to learn, to know what it means to live life for the glory of God.
Zeal for God is the evidence of boldness and character that identifies one as a winner.
Without the zeal for God, there will be no boldness and character for the acclaimed believer of the word of God to flush out activities of the world in the temple. 
Are you zealous for God?
One with zeal for God will always stand against the world of disobedience by looking into the word of God with action. 
Jesus could not look away from world activities in the temple but drove all wicked world activities outside of the temple of God.
Are you an acclaimed temple of God, full of activities that are not of God?  One with the zeal of God will identify merchandise that is not of God that calls for turning it out.One with the zeal of God will not compromise the word of God in the temple of God.
As a temple of God, what is your character outside of God?
John 2:13-17  documents the zeal of Jesus, “Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.”
The boldness and character of Jesus are rooted in His zeal for God.
To be eaten up by the zeal for God is the character that lives for God, meditating on the word of God.
One that meditates is seeing in the word of God.
The word identifies that meditate on the word of God day and night, to see and be able to observe and do according to the word of God. (Joshua 1:8)
Why not desire to become one with the zeal of God?
It is wise to engage in prayer, not a determination to become one with the zeal for God.
Manifestly, until the zeal of God eats up a believer, the possibility of having a clean temple will not be possible. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the Zeal of God to eat you up.
