“Our God is high and exalted. He is our sovereign Majesty. His character is supreme, his power unlimited and his will, paramount. At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow! The name of the Lord is a strong tower. Run into it be safe.”

Luke 10:19
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

While Jehoshaphat was king of Judah the Moabites and Ammonites waged war against him. This was a vast army intent on annihilating God’s people. Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord and proclaimed a fast for all Judah. The people of Judah came together to seek help from the Lord. God’s word came to Jehoshaphat through the priest and prophet Jahaziel: “Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” After talking with the people, Jehoshaphat called for praise and worship. Together they sang, “Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.” As they began to praise God, the Lord set ambushes against the enemy and it was defeated.

Your battle is the Lord’s! Listen, “No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you,” and “If God is for us, who can be against us?” The enemies of peace and security will rise. It’s a fact. However, the force behind these forces of man is Satan. The Scriptures tell us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. But we know that Jesus, our champion and commander in chief, personally overcame these authorities at Calvary when he made a public spectacle of them by triumphing over them through the cross. Halleluiah!

So, today, whatever war you’re facing, whatever forces are battling in the world, let us look to Jesus, our victor. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret when people carry out their wicked schemes. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. Praise and worship God in the face of the onslaught. Our God is high and exalted. He is our sovereign Majesty. His character is supreme, his power unlimited and his will, paramount. At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow! The name of the Lord is a strong tower. Run into it be safe. The battle is not yours, but God’s

I declare the name of Jesus over every circumstance in my life and every conflict I see in the world

“Oh Lord God Almighty I thank you for the Blood of Jesus shed on the cross, by which I have overcome the enemy. I testify to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in my life and my family’s life. I give you praise and worship, O God, for the victory of the cross and I praise you that every battle we face in this world is already won in your truth and righteousness. I confess, NO WEAPON formed against me will succeed! I confess I HAVE POWER OVER ALL the power of Satan, the force behind the forces of this world.

“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.

GOD-TRACKING IS DELIGHTING IN THE GOD OF YOUR SUCCESS

“The Lord desires to grant you the desires of your heart. He has great and wonderful plans for you –plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

C.S. Lewis notes how believers often underestimate the full riches God has for His children. “If we consider the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.”

In Psalm 37 we read that if we take pleasure in seeking the presence of God then he will grant us the desires of our hearts. If you know Christ as Saviour then you are seated in him in heavenly places; you have a vantage point in Christ! And in the Torah God says, “God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of your hand.” In the Proverbs we’re reminded that if we commit our work to the Lord our plans will be established. And finally, in Hebrews 11 God’s Word tells us that he will reward us if we seek him in faith.

The Lord desires to grant you the desires of your heart. He has great and wonderful plans for you –plans for your welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. God is your Father, the Father of heavenly lights from whom every good perfect gift comes. Your Lord desires for you to be successful in all you do. However, there is one condition: delight yourself in him.

GOD-TRACKING IS TRUSTING HIS FAITHFUL AND SURE PLANS, FORMED OF OLD

“I know the plans I have for you,” says Ancient of Days. He has done wonderful things. His faithful and sure plans for you were formed of old.”

Isaiah 25:1
O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you; I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.

God-tracking is all about seeking and remaining on track with the plans God knows he has for us. One of my life verses, Jeremiah 20 verse 11, tells us just that. That is, it is God who knows the plans he has for us but we don’t.

God has many names in the Bible. We see the character of God depicted in his names. One of these names is the Ancient of Days. This name implies that God is eternal (one of the biblical references to the infinity of God). Three words that describe God are: omnipotent (which means all-powerful), omnipresent (which means ever-present) and omniscient (which means all-knowing). There is no entity in the universe like the Lord God. He is the Creator of all matter, time and space. El Shaddai, another name for God, means God Almighty. Ancient of Days is the Lord God Almighty who was and who is and who is to come; the all-knowing, all-powerful and ever-present creator of you.

“I know the plans I have for you,” says Ancient of Days. He has done wonderful things. His faithful and sure plans for you were formed of old. Whatever conflict or contention you may be facing today, be sure his plans for you were designed long ago. He knew you before you were born. Your days were written in his book before your first breath. When he speaks, no one can stand against him; he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world! You can trust his discretion. You can trust his plans. He will keep you in perfect peace if you keep your mind on him. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord your God is an everlasting rock.

“Dear Lord God Almighty, you are holy, faithful and true. Forgive me for doubting the plans you know you have for me. Even if it seems like my life has no meaning, I know it does, in you. I believe in your plans for my life. I trust and believe that your plans, planned of old for me, are faithful and sure. Help me to seek and track your plans – you will – always. Indeed, not my will be done but your will be done in my life. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS PATIENTLY WAITING FOR THE FRUIT OF GOD’S PERFECT WILL

GodTracker 696
The e-devotional helping to keep you on-track with God’s plans for your life

“Don’t despair when God seems to take his time to work out his perfect will for your life. Whatever your age, continue to progress through the good and the acceptable to God’s perfect.”

Hebrews 6:12
…imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

David was a young shepherd boy. All his brothers were much older and physically bigger than he was. If you’ll pardon the pun, David may have been the black sheep of the family. He was shoved out into the fields to look after his father, Jesse’s sheep at a very tender age. When the prophet Samuel was prompted by God to anoint a new king for Israel he visited Jesse and interviewed all his sons for the job. But God reminded Samuel that he does not look at outward appearances, but at the heart. God prevented Samuel from anointing any of Jesse’s strapping sons as king.

“Are all your sons here?” Samuel asked Jesse.

“There remains yet the youngest but, he is keeping the sheep,” answered Jesse. The boy was promptly called for. God said to Samuel, “Anoint him, for this is the one.”

David was perhaps 15 when he was anointed king of Israel. Unfortunately, Saul was still on the throne and would not abdicate. David waited 15 years before he was made king, at the death of Saul. It was another several years before his kingdom grew and he reached the prime of his reign. Yet, all along, David kept his heart right before God and waited patiently in faith for God’s perfect will to develop.

In Romans 12 we are called to renew our minds that we may test the will of God; his good and acceptable and perfect will. In Mark 4 Jesus tells a parable. Likening the kingdom of God to a man who sows seed, he said, “The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.” By these references we notice there are stages in the development of God’s will: first good then acceptable and then perfect, like a seed of grain producing the blade then the ear then the crop.

The Lord is doing a great work in your life, dear God-tracker. Continue to seek his will – his perfect will. In the process, he may take you through various stages in the development of the crop your life will produce. This process may take years, but God’s timing is not our timing; his thoughts are not our thoughts. But God’s thoughts will always produce his perfect will for our lives, for God’s word always produces God’s purposes.

So, continue to seek his face and acknowledge him in all your ways. Don’t despair when God seems to take his time to work out his perfect will for your life. Whatever your age, continue to progress through the good and the acceptable to attain God’s perfect. Like king David, have faith and patience and you will soon inherit the promises of God.

God-tracking is patiently waiting for the fruit of God’s perfect will.

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

Your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven

“Dear Father, today I want to pray as Jesus taught me to pray: your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven. Help me to be patient, dear Lord, while I wait in faith for your perfect will to work out in my life. Help me to be productive and faithful through the good and the acceptable, as I seek the perfect. And when the perfect comes, Lord, help me to walk in faith and serve faithfully and produce a good crop, until the next season of my life. Your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven. Amen.”
