“John Wesley had his compass firmly set, directing him towards the whole Christ as his Saviour, the whole Bible as his book, the whole Church as his fellowship, and the whole world as his mission field. How about you?”

Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

John Wesley said, “I want the whole Christ for my Saviour, the whole Bible for my book, the whole Church for my fellowship, and the whole world for my mission field.” What ambition, what purpose. Indeed, he and his brother, Charles realised their goal as today, more than 200 years after John’s death, we are still quoting him. John and Charles were God-trackers. They knew the essence of seeking and tracking the will of God by acknowledging him in every aspect of their lives and work, even in the face of intense opposition.

After their exile to Babylon, the Lord encouraged his people through the prophet Jeremiah telling them that he knows the plans he has for them, to restore them to his peace. The Hebrew word for peace is shalom. Shalom means more than the English word peace. The full meaning of shalom is wholeness, completeness, soundness, health, safety, prosperity and peace. Despite the opposition they faced when they returned to their promised land after the exile, God’s purpose was to restore his people to his shalom.

John Wesley faced many difficulties throughout his ministries. People were unsettled by his zeal and passion and his challenge to the status quo. He was harassed, criticized, and ridiculed by thousands. Yet he persevered in the full knowledge that God knew the plans he had for him, plans for his shalom. With that, he acknowledged God in all his ways and trusted that God would direct his path. John Wesley had his compass firmly set, directing him towards the whole Christ as his Saviour, the whole Bible as his book, the whole Church as his fellowship, and the whole world as his mission field. How about you?

God-tracking is being firmly set on tracking God’s plans

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

I acknowledge you in all my ways – my home life, my relationships, my work and my dreams – and seek to follow your plans, always.

“Dear God, thank you that your word tells me that you know the plans you have for my shalom, that is, my wholeness, wellbeing, success and peace. Still, I face difficulties every day in my attempt to seek you. But I know you will never abandon me and nothing will ever separate me from your love and purposes for my life. So, dear Lord, I acknowledge you in all my ways – my home life, my relationships, my work and my dreams – and seek to follow your plans, always. Amen.”
