Dear God Tracker 

God-Tracking Is Standing Sure in God’s Plans for You 

This e-devotional is based on the fact that God knows the plans he has for our lives. That is, it is indeed, he who knows these plans but we don’t; not until we seek them. Therefore, in order for us to walk according to God’s plans we need to acknowledge his knowledge of his plans for our lives, and then set out to track them down as an expert tracker would track an impala through the African scrub. What an exciting life this turns out to be for the scripture continues to say that God’s plans are: “to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 

However, the Bible is also clear about the fact that holy living is not plain sailing. Even the Apostle Paul battled with this dilemma. He said, “What I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” He also once pointed out that he had a proverbial thorn in his flesh that he called, “…a messenger of Satan.” The bottom line is God does indeed have a plan for your life but so does the devil. The devil’s plan for our lives is to undermine the plans of God for our lives. Satan is our adversary and will do anything to drag us away from the purposes of God, because he knows that the purposes of God will bring more people into God’s light and confound the purposes of his evil intent.

Dear God Tracker, if you have recently come to Christ and feel like the bottom of your world is falling out; or if you have been tracking God’s plans for some time only to discover opposition at every turn, take heart, you’re not alone! In fact the Bible says, “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Though the Thief comes to kill, steal and destroy, Jesus has come to give you an abundant life. And this is God’s plan for you!  

As you acknowledge the Lord in all you do you can be strong in the purposes of God for your life no matter what the opposition may be. So, keep your eyes on Jesus and, in faith, stand against the lies of Satan. Remember, the one in you is far greater than the one in the world! 

God-tracking is standing sure in God’s plans for you.   

Keep your eyes on Jesus.

Verse of the Week

Romans 8:37-39
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Nothing Will Separate Me from the Love of Christ 

Romans 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

Pray
“Dear Lord, thank you so much for the plans you have for my life. I reaffirm that you are my Lord and Saviour, O Jesus Christ, and I acknowledge God in all my ways. Forgive me for taking my eyes off your plan for me and looking at my difficult circumstances. I know the devil will do all he can to derail me but I refuse to bow to his temptations and attacks. I fix my eyes on Jesus and so stay on-track with your plans and purposes for all my life, wherever they may take me. Help me through this time of trial and help me to be strong, because I know, nothing will separate me from the love of Christ. Amen!”

trACker number415 God-Tracking Is Drawing Your Faith from His Grace

Dear God Tracker 

God-Tracking Is Drawing Your Faith from His Grace 

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.” Gordon was reading from Romans 5 during our prayer time this morning. The five of us were praying about several large needs in our church, needs that would require copious amounts of faith – and grace – to be realised. As Gordon read those words I had the strangest image of myself making a cup of tea. I was bent over a steaming cup of boiled water with teabag in hand.  Then saw myself drop the bag into the water and watched as the hot water turned a lovely tea colour. The longer a watched the stronger and more fragrant the tea became, and I do enjoy a strong cuppa! 

“What’s this mean,njoy a stronmg atched the strong ther tea became!ed from clear to a strong as bent over a steaming cup of boiled wat Lord?” I quizzed silently in prayer. I then began to smile as I understood what the Holy Spirit was impressing on me: “Faith is a teabag!” I understood that the hot water represented God’s grace while the teabag represented my faith. In order to make a half descent cup of tea one needs hot water and tea. Our salvation and our answered prayer depend on two ingredients, too – grace and faith. Grace is God’s doing (the work of Jesus on the cross) and faith is my humble acting upon God’s grace. Like a good cup of tea needs hot water and a teabag, my interaction with the Lord Almighty requires his grace and my faith. Now, the longer I leave the teabag to draw in the hot water, the stronger my cup of tea becomes. Likewise, the longer I rest my faith upon his grace the stronger my walk with God becomes. 

Are you facing issues in your life that you feel are insurmountable? Is your bank overdraft overdrawn? Or perhaps you are ill in body or soul or are praying for a loved one who is ill? Well, if you are, then you will need faith to see the hand of God move. Faith pleases God who he rewards all who come to him and seek his will. God is able to do far more than you could ever expect him to do for you. So today immerse your faith in God’s gracious power and ability and be confident that he who promised is faithful, and he will answer your prayers. And while you’re about it… put the kettle on.  

God-tracking is drawing your faith from his grace. 

Happy tracking

Far More Than All I Could Ask or Imagine 

Ephesians 3:20-21
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. 

Pray
“My Father God, thank you for your immeasurable grace. Thank you that you sent Jesus to die and take my sins so that, in him, I might become your righteousness. Thank you that your grace is all I need. By your grace in Christ, already have my breakthrough. By your grace I have peace and security. It’s all because of your grace that I can stand sure of eternal life after I die and abundant life while I live on earth. Your grace has made the way for all me needs to be met and for your rich provision for my future. Your grace has allowed me to claim your healing touch upon my body and for my loved ones who are ill. Your grace is more than enough for me. Today I step out and add faith to your grace and know emphatically that you are able to do far more than all I could ask or imagine. Thank you, Lord. Amen.”
