So, if something doesn’t work out quite like you’d hoped it would then trust that the Lord has something better for you – something he has meant for you – that will far outstrip your wildest imagination.”

Ephesians 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

“I can’t understand why I didn’t get the job,” said Pete. “I have the experience and qualifications required. There’s no reason I know of why they didn’t give it to me.” Pete had been unemployed for a few months and was desperate for a new job. “Did you acknowledge the Lord in this application?” I asked. “Yes,” he replied. “Did you commit the application and interview to the Lord?” Yes, again. “Then I would venture to say, Pete, that this job was not meant. It means that the Lord has something better for you,” I concluded.

One thing I have discovered is that God always means what he says and means what he does. The Lord is not indecisive (as we are), which means he does everything on purpose. The Bible tells us that God has a plan for our futures and that if we acknowledge him in all our ways then he will direct our life tracks accordingly. Sure enough, we’re not off the hook in that we still need to strategize but if we do so in prayer and in faith, seeking God’s purposes first, as we acknowledge his foreknowledge of our lives, then we will strategize according to his rules.

Therefore, if you’re applying for a new job or planning a new move in life be sure to acknowledge the Lord in all your strategies by prayer and confession. If you’re seeking plans for the future or looking for new opportunities then seek first God’s principles, purposes and precedents – his kingdom and righteousness. If you do so then all you could ever hope for will be added to you according to the plans of him who knows the plans he has for you. Believe me when I say that if you follow this process in life then you will find yourself, within space and time, exactly where you’re meant to be.

So, if something doesn’t work out quite like you’d hoped it would then trust that the Lord has something better for you – something he has meant for you – that will far outstrip your wildest imagination. Remember, the Lord God watches over his word to you in order to activate his plans for your life. What he promises will come about, in his time according to his design. And when it does, you will jump for joy!

God-tracking is believing you are exactly where you’re meant to be.

Dear God-tracker
GOD-TRACKING IS TAKING UP DIVINE ARMS AGAINST THE DEVIL’S SCHEMES
Romans 12:21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
We see the images all too often on our TV screens of victims of terrorism running, screaming, bleeding after a cowardly attack. As I watch, I taste the bile of anger rising in my throat. I’m not naïve and do realise that we do not live in single-minded blissful political and religious utopia but I cannot understand why some people resort to merciless killing of innocent children for the sake of their cause. The natural man in me rises with vehement vengeance in his heart. But then I remember our Lord’s words, “I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
It is a perfectly natural inclination to want to retaliate when we’re hurt by others. In the worst-case scenario of terrorism, we might even fantasise about taking up arms to fight those who kill our children. Indeed, we need the protection of a credible armed defence force (and we need to pray for our brave soldiers who lay their lives on the line for our safety) but, when I personally become consumed with passion for vengeance, I remember our Scriptures say, “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.’”
If you sometimes feel like I do when you watch the news, then I suggest we take up arms! The weapons in our arsenal are mighty but the weapons we fight with are not guns or bombs, they are divine. This war we fight is not of the flesh but of the spirit. Our enemy is not the suicide bomber but the invisible satanic force behind his motivations and actions. Christian, we have several weapons at our disposal but the greatest weapon we have is prayer. We have the liberty and authority to pray in the name of Jesus, and his name is above every other name. We have the liberty and authority to speak the Word of God in prayer. The Word of God is a double-edged sword, powerful enough to divide soul and spirit, bone and marrow.
So, if you’re facing a war in your life today; if you find anger rising in your throat like bile every time you see that person who challenges your every move, don’t allow your natural man to take the bait. Turn to Jesus and put him on like the armour of God. Your fight is not against flesh and blood but against devilish powers in the spirit realm. So, love that person who opposes you but wield the Sword of the Spirit against the forces behind them.
God-tracking is taking up divine arms against the devil’s schemes
Blessings
Dudley

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!
Dear Lord, I commit my fight to you. Help me to have grace and strength to stand against my enemy
Pray
“In the name of Jesus, I take up my divine weapons. I declare that the name of Jesus Christ is greater than any power, force or opponent I face. I wield the Sword of the Spirit – the word of God – and declare, ‘Greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world.’ I wield the Sword of the Spirit and declare, ‘The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble!’ I wield the Sword of the Spirit and declare, ‘no weapon that is fashioned against me shall succeed.’ My fight is not against flesh and blood but against the powers of darkness in heavenly realms. Therefore, I pray for every militant terrorist and every opponent of peace that they will abandon their cause and seek the living God – the God of love. Dear Lord, I commit my fight to you. Help me to have grace and strength to stand against my enemy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS FIRST, GETTING ON TRACK WITH GOD, THROUGH CHRIST

Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Fourteen years ago a listener of my radio show, On Track wrote an email to me asking me to send him a hardcopy version of the content of my show. On Track came about after the Lord revealed to me how the Christian walk is seldom clear-cut. In my humble 55 years of life, I have found that, if I acknowledge God in all my ways, he will always direct my paths. However, the paths I often find myself on are seldom direct; they seem to progress, as it were, from A to B to C and then off to X and Y, before getting back to D. But all along my life’s track, I have found God has a plan for me to both impact and be impacted by people and circumstances, along the way. He knows the plans he has for me, I don’t, so I need to remain on track with God’s plans for me wherever they may take me. Hence the title of my radio show.

All along this track of life I have found two ingredients to be invaluable in my God-tracking: God’s Spirit and God’s Word. Tracking God’s will can be precarious at times, to say the least. Life can be filled with many ups and many downs. Life can be thwarted with challenges, changes and choices. At every corner in life, I need clear guidance which way to turn. At every obstacle in life, I need strength and tenacity to overcome. Without Christ, I think I would have been in a right quandary in facing life’s complications. The truth is, Jesus is my way and he is my life. God’s Word is the lamp that lights my path and the fellowship of his Holy Spirit is the power that moves my feet along my path. I have discovered that the Word of God is found in the Bible and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit is found in prayer. Without these I would be lost.

How about you? Have you found life to be a guessing game? How do you know you’ve made the right choices? Listen: In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Finding happiness and success begins with making the greatest choice you could ever make – choosing Christ! It could be you’ve been reading this weekly devotional for many years but never actually surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Why not do it now? Believe that Jesus died and rose again to reconcile you to God and confess him as Lord. It’s no good doing one without the other, you need to believe and confess. God does have a plan for you to both impact and be impacted by people and circumstances, as you follow your life’s track. God does have a plan for you to be a God-tracker, but it starts with getting on track with God’s purposes, through Christ. So, seek God first in life and his Word will become a lamp to your feet and a light to your path.

God-tracking is first, getting on track with God, through Christ.

Keep your eyes on Jesus

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!

From this point on, O God, help me remain on track with your will in life

Pray
“Dear God, I realise now that I have never totally surrendered my life to you. I confess that I have tried to follow my own instincts in making life choices rather than acknowledging you in everything I do. Please forgive me. I put my faith in the power of your Holy Spirit and the light of you Word to guide me every day. I repent of all sin and ask you to take your rightful place in my heart. I believe that Jesus died and rose again to free me from sin and death, and now confess Jesus to be my Lord and Saviour. From this point on, O God, help me remain on track with your will in life. Amen.”

Dear God-tracker

ANNOUNCING: The Reality
A fresh new half-hour Christian radio programme, featuring lives touched and changed for the good, for good by the reality as found in Christ.

A welcome to new subscribers to this free e-mail devotional. Welcome too, to readers of the GodTracker blogs on Linkedin, Wordpress, FaithWiriters and Google Blogger. This e-devotional has been impacting lives since its inception in 2003. GodTracker developed out of a Christian radio programme I produced between 1998 and 2005 called, On Track. On Track was broadcast on shortwave radio across central/southern Africa and via several FM Christian radio stations in the region and enjoyed an estimated listenership of millions.

The Bible says that God knows the plans he has for us. If this is true, then it’s God who knows these plans, we don’t. It also says that God has predestined good works for those who are saved by grace, through faith; we are his workmanship. If this is true, then I believe God has a plan and a purpose for your life and mine. Therefore, we need to look for his plans; we need to track God’s purposes through payer and his Word. This is a process I call, God-tracking.

GodTracker has been adapted for radio and is broadcast on several radio stations around the world as a 60-second radio spot. As part of this radio ministry I have also developed a new half-hour show called, The Reality. The Scripture tells us that the Law of God and religious traditions are a mere shadow, while sure reality is found in Christ. The Reality features short teaching and chats with people whose lives have been touched and changed by the reality of Christ.

Keep on tracking the plans and purposes of God.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE WON’T BE A GodTracker PUBLICATION NEXT FRIDAY.

Here’s wishing you and yours a wonderful Emmanuel filled, CHRISTmas.


Dear God Tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS GETTING YOUR HEART RIGHT WITH GOD, FIRST

Luke 6:45
The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

One of my favourite Bible heroes is the great king of Israel, King David. I love David because he was a simple shepherd boy who discovered the secret of constantly keeping his heart pure before God.

David was the youngest son of a regular Hebrew man called, Jesse. Being a shepherd in the Middle East in those days, was a very humble job. Nevertheless, we read how David did his job to the best of his ability, even risking his own life for the safety of his father’s sheep. This humble young man was soon to become the shepherd of the people of God; the greatest king ancient Israel would ever know.

Yet, as we read David’s story we notice that he was less than perfect. Becoming a great warrior-king meant that he was responsible for the deaths of many people, through the acts of war. Also, on one occasion we read how David fell in love with another man’s wife and married her, after sending her husband to his death on the front line. David committed adultery and murder! However, we read that David was called, a man after God’s own heart. In fact, it is from David’s line that we received the promised Messiah and saviour of the world, Jesus.

I believe that God looks at the heart and not the hands. We are told that we are justified by grace, through faith and not the works of our hands. Faith and grace are qualities experienced in the heart, when we believe that Jesus died and rose again to free us from sin. Jesus said that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth will speak. Consequently, because grace and faith are expressed in the heart (and have made us right with God through grace and faith) the actions of our hands will simply reveal the salvation within our hearts. This calls for living a life totally surrendered to the grace of God, with a pure heart before the Lord.

David was a true God Tracker. David lived in God’s grace and David walked by faith. David was not a perfect person but David’s heart was right. When he sinned, he was very quick to repent and walk with a contrite heart before God. Though he was a great king, David knew that he was nothing, had nothing and meant nothing, but for the grace of God. David was made righteous by faith in God’s forgiveness and walked in the integrity of the hope of his salvation. He didn’t always do things right but he knew that purity of heart preceded purity of hand.

God-tracking is getting your heart right with God, first.

God bless

Dudley

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS LETTING GOD DO THE FIGHTING FOR YOU

Romans 8:37
Know, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

The mighty Philistine warrior stood brazenly brandishing his 6-and-a-half-kilogram spear. Goliath was a giant of a man. He was selected out of the ranks of the Philistines to represent their army in a one-on-one battle against the Israelites. In those times, to minimise loss, a king would select his strongest man to go out against his counterpart from the opposing army in a one-on-one fight. Whoever won the fight and killed his opponent, would win the battle for his army. Goliath was confident that no Israelite would defeat him. “I defy the ranks of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together.”

King Saul watched in horror as his men cowered in fear. He had no man in his ranks of the stature of Goliath. Just then a young messenger boy was brought to him. “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? Let no man's heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine,” said shepherd-boy David to the king. “All this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the Lord’s.”

We know the end of this story well. Young David kills the giant Goliath with a single slingshot. Israel’s champion conquers the Philistine’s champion. Under the rules of war at the time, this meant that the Israelite army had conquered the Philistine army. So, the Israelites pursued the retreating Philistines, gaining a great victory.

I love this story because it makes clear that David is the champion who won the battle. Out of hundreds of mighty men left standing in their ranks, David was the single individual who took on the giant. He fought in the name of the Lord, in one-on-on combat and defeated the enemy. He knew the battle was the Lord’s, that day. However, though David fought alone, he won the battle for all the men in the ranks behind him. He fought the fight but his men won the war. David was the conqueror while his brothers in the ranks were more than conquerors.

Whatever battle you’re in remember, the battle is not yours; it’s the Lord’s. If you are sure you are walking in the truth (and make sure you are walking in the truth), then you have nothing to defend. The truth will vindicate you. If you’re facing a fight today, be still and wait patiently for the Lord to defend you. Be strong and courageous, Jesus has won the victory! In Christ, you are more than a conqueror!

God-tracking is letting God do the fighting for you.

Fix your eyes on Jesus

My champion, Jesus Christ, fought a one-on-on battle with the enemy and conquered him. Thank you Lord for this victory. Therefore, as a Christian believer and one who walks by faith in Christ, I have won the battle. Like David’s brothers in the ranks were victorious, because David won the fight for them, I too am victorious, because Jesus won the fight for me. Jesus is my champion. In Christ, I am more than a conqueror! Praise God! Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS TREKKING YOUR UNCHARTED TRACK BY FAITH

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS TREKKING YOUR UNCHARTED TRACK BY FAITH

Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

This life you live as a follower of Christ is a great adventure – a great trek along the highways and byways of time. Where you are going, no one has ever ventured before. You are a pioneer exploring a track that God has designed for only you to walk. Like any great pioneer trekking the wilds of uncharted territory, you will most certainly face hazards and dangers at every turn, but at the same time, you will be rewarded by the discovery of new experiences, new opportunities and new life.

Growing up in South Africa I remember learning about the Great Trek. The Cape of Good Hope was discovered by the Portuguese in 1497 but colonised by the Dutch in 1652. The British arrived in 1795 and took over the administration of this new territory. Sadly, animosity developed between the Dutch (who became known as Afrikaners) and the British. This lead to the Afrikaners deciding to migrate north and east.

Humble families uprooted their homes, collected their livestock and set out in ox wagons in 1830, across dangerous uncharted territory. The Great Trek was a hazardous journey across the great Drakensberg mountains. These families faced marauding tribes, famine and disease for many years until, in 1837, the last of the pioneers settled near the Limpopo River in the far north of the country. Indeed, the pioneers and explorers throughout history are bold adventurous people, setting out on great exploits into the unknown.

It takes faith to trek the wilds of uncharted territory. Hebrews 11 is packed with pioneers of faith who set out to trek the purposes of God with nothing more than his promises in hand. Very few of them ever realised the fulfilment of these promises in their lifetimes. However, they set out believing the Word of an invisible God who would accomplish the impossible on their behalf. God was pleased with their faith and he rewarded those who diligently sought him.

God has a plan for your life; a plan for hope and a prosperous future. However, from where you stand today, it may seem, all you can see are monsters and mountains. It will take faith to set out on that new adventure God has planned for you; faith that comes from his Word. And your faith can grow! So have courage like that of the great explorers of history and set out today in faith, to trek that unknown territory that God has planned specifically for you.

God-tracking is trekking your uncharted track by faith

Blessings

The e-Devotional helping to keep you on-track
Published through www.godtracker.co.uk

23 September 2016

Dear God-tracker  

WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK


This e-devotional / blog is published once a week via godtracker.co.uk. It developed as a result of a radio programme I once produced called, On Track. Listeners of the radio show wrote in asking for copies of the content I shared on-air. I began sending this information out by e-mail once a week. These e-mails later developed into the e-devotional that has become known as, trACker. trACker is sent out to e-mail subscribers and published on several online blog sites every Friday.

I wish to express my deepest appreciation to you for supporting this ministry over the years. Your input invaluable. Therefore, from time to time I request your feedback in the form of a very short questionnaire.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would  email dudley@godtracker.co.uk with your answers to the following questions.

If you prefer, the questionnaire is also available online as an anonymous shttps://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/RR7WBRT

1.    How long have you subscribed to or been reading this devotional?
2.    How do you read trACker? By e-mail or online on a blog or social media site? If so, please tell us which one.
3.    How has trACker helped you in your Christian walk?
4.    Please give us any comments that may help us produce a better service to you

trACker is based on the scripture that reminds us that God knows the plans he has for us. The truth of that statement is, it is indeed, God who knows the plans he has for us; we don’t, not until he reveals them to us, that is. Therefore, to remain walking in God’s will we need to continue to seek and track his plans for us by acknowledging him in all our ways and keeping our eyes on Jesus.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Every blessing

Dudley

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS FILLING YOUR MOUTH WITH GOD’S WORD AND THEN WATCHING HOW HE FULFILS IT

Jeremiah 1:12
Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.”

Yong Jeremiah was stunned as he sat on a rock outside the gates of Anathoth, his home town. He was of the tribe of Levi, which meant he would soon be ordained a priest in the house of Israel. He’d gone for a walk and sat down to think about his future when, all of a sudden the Word of God came to him, “Jeremiah, son of Hilkiah, before you were even conceived or born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

“Ah, Lord God! How so? I’m still young and, anyway, I wouldn’t know what to say.”

But God replied to Jeremiah and said that he need not worry about being too young to become a prophet. He added that he would always be with him; he had nothing to fear. Then the Lord touched his mouth and said, “See, I have put my Words in your mouth.”

It was then that Jeremiah had his first vision. He saw an almond tree branch, of all things. I could imagine he was rather puzzled at this.

“What do you see, Jeremiah?” asked the Lord. “I see… er… an almond branch, Lord,” he replied. “You have seen correctly, young man. You see, I will be watching over my Word to perform it in your life.”

Jeremiah understood immediately why he’d seen an almond branch. It was clear to him, a Hebrew speaker. When God used the Hebrew term for almond he would have said, shaw-kade. And then when he said watching he would have used the Hebrew word, shaw-kad. God was using a pun to instil confidence in young Jeremiah that he would always fulfil the Word he had put in Jeremiah’s mouth. So, every time the young prophet saw an almond tree (which are prolific in Israel) or crunched an almond nut between his teeth he would remember God’s promise that he was watching over his Word in his mouth to perform it.

When I began preaching, many years back, I felt a little like young Jerry. I had no confidence in myself that I would ever deliver a sermon to a group of hungry believers with any measure of success. However, the week before I was due to take my first church service I was reading a leadership magazine. I don’t remember what the article was about or who wrote it but, these words jumped off the page right into my heart: “You may think you’ll run out of words to speak every Sunday when you preach. But take courage, like with Jeremiah, God will put his Word in your mouth and he will watch over it to cause it to impact those who hear it.”

You may not feel called to be a preacher but God has called you to share your faith. We are all called to all the world through the Great Commission Jesus gave us. Are you afraid of what you will say when the opportunity arrives? Don’t be afraid, just pray. God will put his Word in your mouth. And it’s not your job to convince anyone of the Gospel. The Holy Spirit himself will watch over what you say to ensure it bears fruit in the hearts of those who hear it. Jesus said, “For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.”

God-tracking is filling your mouth with God’s Word and then watching how he fulfils it

Go for it!

I will boldly go where you send me and speak out the words you put in my mouth

Pray
“Ah Lord, I often feel inadequate to share your Word. I feel I’m too young or not educated enough. But I realise now that you both create opportunity for me to witness and put the words in my mouth when the opportunity arrives. Thank you that you watch over your Word to perform it. I believe you’re watching over every promise you’ve ever given me and you’re watch over every word I speak, in your name. It’s not up to me to action your Word; I believe that is the responsibility of the Holy Spirit. So I will boldly go where you send me and speak out the words you put in my mouth. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS FAITHFULLY TRACKING GOD’S PURPOSES BY THE SUFFICIENCY OF HIS GRACE

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS FAITHFULLY TRACKING GOD’S PURPOSES BY THE SUFFICIENCY OF HIS GRACE

2 Corinthians 12:9(b)
Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

“Simon, Simon!” called Andrew as he ran up to his brother’s boat, moored at the edge of the lake. “We have found the Messiah!” John and I were listening to John the Baptist speak when suddenly he pointed to Jesus of Nazareth and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”

“Whatever,” replied Simon as he continued to fold his nets. “No, really. Come see.” Simon reluctantly followed his brother to where Jesus was standing talking to some men. Jesus looked right at Simon and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Peter,” (which means rock).

And so began the life’s adventure of Simon Peter, one of the most dynamic God-trackers of all Bible characters. But Peter was, what we might call, a rough diamond. His outspokenness would land him in most unsavoury situations, more often than not. It was Peter who drew his sword and cut off the High Priest servant’s ear at the arrest of Jesus and it was Peter who denied his Lord three times after Jesus’ arrest. But it was also Peter who acknowledged Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God. He was the rock upon whom Jesus built the Church. Simon Peter became the primary leader of the 12 founding apostles of Christianity and he was used of the Holy Spirit to pen several books we now have as scripture in our Bible. Simon Peter was a great man.

Thankfully the Bible is packed with characters like Peter. Men and women who were less than perfect but who were used mightily of God. I take courage as I seek to track God’s will for my own life from the fact that God does not call perfect people to do his purposes. (In fact, there are no perfect people – the only perfect man who ever lived was Jesus Christ himself.) If I was faultless in my lifestyle or my service of God, then I could claim credit for what I do. But, because I am a faulty character (like old Peter) I know that any good thing I do must come from God. Wasn’t it Paul who complained about having a “thorn in the flesh”, but when he talked to the Lord about it Jesus said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”  

Grace is God’s doing. Grace does not overlook our deficiencies; grace produces God’s efficiency though us. By grace we are saved and by grace we serve. God-tracking is seeking to live by the grace of God, especially through our shortfalls. Grace does not condone sin. On the contrary, it reveals sin to us. Grace pardons our sin on our confession and repentance. And grace has a brother called, faith. We are saved by grace through faith and we serve as God-trackers by God’s grace though faith in his power to equip us for duty.

God had a purpose for Simon Peter and God has a purpose for you. You do not need to be perfect to follow God’s purposes; you only need to step out in faith, believing that, by grace, God is fulfilling his purposes through you, to his praise and glory. That’s living by grace.

God-tracking is faithfully tracking God’s purposes by the sufficiency of his grace.

Blessings

Dudley

I confess and repent of all my sin – everything I have done, said or thought that has grieved the Holy Spirit. Praise you for grace that pardons my sin. I now commit my life to serve you, O Lord, not by my credentials but by your grace. If grace is God’s doing, then Lord, do your will through me! I submit to your grace and will continue to serve you all my days, by faith. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS TREKKING GOD’S WAY WHERE THERE IS NO WAY

Philippians 2:13
for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Andrew van der Bijl heard the call of God to smuggle Bibles into the Soviet Union during the dark days of the Cold War. At this time, it was illegal to take Bibles into Russia but he sensed God wanted him to risk his life to deliver copies of God’s Word to the suffering church behind the Iron Curtain. Packing every nook and cranny of his small VW Beetle car with Bibles he set out on his dangerous journey. Approaching the border, he knew there was no way he would be able to smuggle this valuable cargo into Russia without God’s help. He knew God had called him to do this and had acknowledged him in every aspect of the trip. Now, at the border, all that remained was for him to have the faith to drive through without being arrested. “Lord,” prayed Brother Andrew, “You have made blind eyes see. Today I ask you to make seeing eyes blind.” A while later he drove through Russia, rejoicing. God had made a way where there was no way.

When the Israelites left Egypt they were pursued by Pharaoh’s army to the shores of the Red Sea. With the sea before them and an army at their rear they had no way of escape, until God instructed Moses to part the seas. What a miracle! God had made a way for them to cross on dry land while their enemy was destroyed behind them. God’s people were on their way to new things. God was making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Are you facing an impossible situation today? Perhaps financial crises or a severe illness. It could be you’ve felt the call of God to move forward with a new adventurous plan but you’re left thinking, “No way! How am I ever going to make it?” Be encouraged. If you have clearly heard from the Lord and have acknowledge God in all your plans, then he will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

God-tracking is trekking God’s way where there is no way

Blessings

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS GUARDING OUR TONGUES AGAINST A QUICK CRITICAL BARB

Hebrews 10:24
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works

American comedian, George Burns said, “Too bad the only people who know how to run this country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.” We smile but it’s true! Criticism is a disease that has crept into every echelon of society. But it’s nothing new.

Paul the apostle was a man of integrity, called of God to preach the Good news to the Gentiles. He was a Jew – a “Hebrew of Hebrews” – and yet God gave Paul a message for the non-Jews of his time. This, however, raised many eyebrows within his own camp. As a result, Paul was criticised and condemned by his Christian brothers. I thank God for Paul’s resolve to not allow this criticism to affect his work. He continued to do what God had called him to do, believing that the Holy Spirit had called and equipped him to do it. God watched over his Word to Paul, who became one of the pillars of the Christian Faith. Eventually his critics had to admit that Paul was fulfilling God’s purposes with power and integrity.

In my few humble years of life as a Christian, active in my local church, it has never ceased to amaze me how loving, caring children of God can raise each other’s hopes and dreams to the ground through unmerited criticism. All too often jealous selfish ambition is disguised as well-meaning advice. (The Bible is clear about selfish ambition: where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.) But a heart intent on humbly and selflessly seeking God’s purposes in grace and meekness will bring words of peace, encouragement and gentle godly rebuke instead of criticisms. And such words can only emanate from prayer. As someone once said, “Don't put people down, unless it's on your prayer list.”

I used to be an extremely critical person. I’d criticise the performance of my co-workers, my pastor and, sadly, even my own family. One day my Christian boss called me into his office and came straight to the point, “Dudley, you need to stop being such a critical person!” I was stunned. I never realised I was critical. I asked God’s help to change my ways.

My encouragement to us today is, let’s seek to build each other up, stirring one another to love and good works. Let’s think twice before opening our mouths to offer criticism, especially of our leaders! Remember, a soft answer turns away wrath and soothes troubled waters.

God-tracking is guarding our tongues against a quick critical barb.

Blessings

Dudley

I pray for your help in overcoming this critical attitude I have. Help me to always weigh my words very carefully before I comment on someone’s performance. Help me to have a meek and humble heart, filled with love, before I offer any advice again. Thank you for your grace and strength to help me only encourage folk in their Christian walk, from now on.

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS FINDING YOUR WAY BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL TRACK FOR YOU, BY HIS WORD AND SPIRIT.

Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.

I was taking a walk in a wood near my home the other day when I came across a concealed intersection in the path I was on. Turning left, I walked on for another few meters before realising that the path was becoming rather sparse. Soon, I was trudging through virgin forest and realised that I would become lost unless I returned to the path I was on. So, making a U-turn I made my way back to the path and began looking for the intersection to return to the main track taking me back to my parked car. But could I find that turn off? Up and down the path I plodded for what seemed like ages until I was exhausted – and a little panicky! Was it at that bush, or that tree, or that boulder where I turned? Eventually I spotted a vague clearing in the scrub that looked familiar. I took a bold step off the path I was on and was happy to discover the original track opening up in front of me once again. Weary but relieved I made my way back to my car.

Our walk of faith can be like a walk in the forest. We step out onto the track of life God has prepared for us with gusto. Soon, however, we come to a crossroads: false theological ideas or simply the lure of the world. Thus far, our walk has been based on the simple literal reading of God’s Word and fellowship with the Holy Spirit in prayer, but now we are confronted by new ideas that draw us away from the pure literal Word of God. Or perhaps a disappointment at church has occurred that has sadly seduced us out of fellowship. Soon we will find that we have taken a left or right turn at the crossroads, when all the Lord wants us to do is keep walking straight on, building life by his Word and his Spirit.

If you find you’ve taken aside track into a theological conundrum or grown cold in your faith and feel you’re getting lost, then I suggest you make a hasty U-turn and find your way back to that intersection where you left the road you were on. You will need to return to a point in your Christian walk where you remember you were walking by faith and hearing God’s voice. Delete your Internet history. Put down the smart phone and return to true and exact Word of God. It’ll be the smartest thing you’ll ever do! It may take time to find that track back to God’s pure purposes but be prayerfully patient and doggedly determined, and you will find it.

God-tracking is finding your way back to his original track for you, by his Word and Spirit.

Blessings

Dudley

I turn back now, O Lord, in prayer, to the track of life you have designed for me. I’m sorry for not attending church. I’m sorry for allowing false and confusing ideas into my head. I return to the point I left the road and ask that you will restore me once again to the glorious purpose you have planned for my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
