Dear God-tracker

God-tracking is facing every new calamity as more than a conqueror 

When Joshua crossed over the Jordon River to conquer Canaan under command to possess God’s promises he was confronted by a formidable opponent. Jericho was a solidly fortified city. When faced with possible invasion from the Israelites Jericho was shut up so securely that none could enter or leave. Joshua had been encouraged to be strong and courageous for he shall lead God’s people to inherit the Promised Land. With these words still in his ears he faced Jericho. But God gave Joshua a very strange battle plan to take Jericho, which involved simply marching around the city while praising God. If he did this then the city would be delivered into his hands. Joshua obeyed God’s command and miraculously those hugely fortified walls simply collapsed in a heap at the humble sound of the praises of the God of Israel. Joshua was more than a conqueror, because the Lord fought the battle of Jericho for him. Years later the psalmist would write, “For not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them.” 

Another great battle occurred more than a thousand years later. One lone man faced the impenetrable city of God’s righteousness. Because of the fall of mankind the Promised Land of God’s riches and freedom were shut up to us all. But through the humble death of Jesus Christ on the cross the walls separating us from the promises of God fell down in a heap! Because of God’s grace though the victory of Jesus, you and I have attained free access to the wonderful riches of the Promised Land. Because of what Jesus did at Calvary we have gained victory over sin, Satan and death itself! Jesus made a public spectacle of all the forces of darkness when he triumphed over them at the cross, and then he handed that victory to anyone who would call on his name. In Christ’s victory we are also more than conquerors!  

Call on the name of Jesus in your dilemma, today! Stop and remember the many times that God has given you victory over sickness, loss or disappointment in the past and shout out again today, “I can still do all things through him who strengthens me.” When faced anew by confusion or calamity, remember that it’s not your own arm that delivered you in the past; it was by his right hand and his arm, and the light of his face. What he has done before he will do again. Just as the praises of the Israelites gained the victory over Jericho at the hand of Joshua so your praises will gain you victory over your fortified opponent at the hand of Jesus!  

So the next time you face life’s battlefield remember to be strong and courageous. Keep on walking with your face toward the Light and God’s praises on your lips. 

God-tracking is facing every new calamity as more than a conqueror. 

Every blessing

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!
Look up and Fix Your Eyes on Jesus! 

I declare that, in Christ, I am more than a conqueror and will march right in to take the promises of God 

Pray:
“Dear God I’m facing problems again in my life. Thank you for the many times you have delivered me in the past. Today I choose to remember those times and put my faith in you to do it again. Like Joshua facing Jericho I want to march right up to my opponent and declare the praises of God. Praise God! I will stand strong in the victory of Jesus at Calvary with my face towards the Light. Satan was defeated at the cross. I declare that, in Christ, I am more than a conqueror and will march right in to take the promises of God. Amen.”
