Dear God-tracker
God-tracking is Finding Real Purpose
in Christ
“Help me to make
this day please you, Lord,” prayed the inmate who had recently given his life
over to Jesus. Day by day, in the high security prison that had become his home
for the past 5 years, Ben was beginning to see the mighty hand of God at work
in ways he would never have imagined. He used to be an aggressive man and knew
well the power and authority of violence. Even among fellow inmates, Ben had a
reputation for being forceful. But since that wonderful night when the prison
Chaplin had prayed with him and he had surrendered his life to Christ, things
were different.
Ben had received a
prison sentence for manslaughter. Prone to fights he was often arrested for
assault but this time he had gone too far and had killed a man with his bare hands,
in a fit of rage. After being sentenced to life in prison, Ben had gained a
reputation for being a bully and a brawler. His first 5 years had been like
hell but he’d held his own in the community of prison. However, Ben was a loner
and would often find himself facing 4 or 5 men alone in a darkened cell.
One night Ben was
overpowered and severely beaten. He had ended up in the infirmary and it was
here that the prison Chaplin - himself a burly man - had visited him and told
him about someone else who was arrested and sentenced to death. This man was a
strong but gentle character who did no one any harm. In fact he had only ever
been good to people. He had healed the sick, fed crowds of hungry folk, blessed
children and taught the ways of God. Yet, trumped-up charges were brought
against him and he was sentenced to execution. The Chaplin had then explained to
Ben that this person was Jesus Christ and that he had been crucified for the
sins of all mankind, even those of a dirty brawler like Ben. But because Jesus had
been raised from the dead the entire world – including Ben – could know God’s
forgiveness and his grace. By now tough old Ben was no longer a brawler but a
bawler!
From that moment on
the change in Ben was evident to all. Even the most feared prison gangs had
come to respect him. He would freely pray for fellow inmates and when prayers
began to be answered men would queue up at his cell for prayer. Ben had become
a God Tracker. He had come to know the simple yet profound truth that Jesus is
the only way to real freedom. God was using him mightily. Ben had found his
real reason for being alive and, though he would wake every morning not knowing
what may face him, he would live each day to please his Lord. How about you,
dear God Tracker?
God-tracking is finding real purpose in Christ.
God bless

What is
trACker?
GodTracker and trACker owe their origins to an international
Christian radio programme produced by Dudley Anderson called, OnTrack. Although
OnTrack went off-air in 2005, trACker has continued to help people to track
God's plans and purposes for their lives since July 2003.

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!
Look up and
Fix Your Eyes on Jesus!
Help Me to Make This Day Please You
Pray:
“Dear God I admit my need of you. I
confess my sin and admit to my wrongdoings. I realise that no one is right
before you by their own efforts. Only Jesus could take my sin on the cross and
I believe now he did. Thank you Father for sending Jesus and for raising him
from the dead so that I may know your forgiveness today. I choose to turn my back on my old life and
live for you from now on. Come into my life as I give my life to you. Lord, I
want to pray every day, ‘help me to make this day please you’ so that I may
live out my real purpose in life. Amen."

TIME THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW
