“So, trust the plans of God without relying on your own insight. He who promised is faithful, and he will do it. And that’s what God-tracking is all about.”

1 Thessalonians 5:24
He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

GodTracker is founded on the principle of seeking and tracking the plans of God. It is based on the Scripture that tells us that God knows the plans he has for us, plans for a future filled with hope and purpose. Every Christian believer has a personal relationship with God through Jesus. This is why we call him our personal Lord and Saviour. Through the intimate fellowship of the Holy Spirit, we can enjoy walking in God’s personal plans for our lives. Be encouraged to seek God’s purposes alone. It’s when we venture to make our own plans that we deviate from the holy and blessed purposes of God.

Abraham had a God-given purpose. God had called him from his home to settle in a faraway land called Canaan. God gave Abraham a promise saying, “I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.” Though Abraham was over 90 years old and his wife was barren, God promised him that he would become a dad. God knew the plans he had for Abraham, plans for a future filled with hope and purpose.

However, since his wife, Sarah, was barren and old, Abraham became impatient and made his own plan to fulfil God’s purpose. Thus, Ishmael was born of Sarah’s maidservant (a custom acceptable in those days). Later, God fulfilled his promise to Abraham when Sarah became pregnant with Isaac. Sadly, because Abraham pre-empted the purpose of God by making his own plans, the descendants of Ishmael became enemies of the descendants of Isaac.

Be encouraged to always trust the plans that God knows he has for you. Acknowledge the Lord in all your ways and refuse to make your own plans to fulfil God’s purposes. As we see in Abraham’s case, the plans of man will always be in opposition to the plans of God. So, trust the plans of God without relying on your own insight. He who promised is faithful and he will do it. And that’s what God-tracking is all about.

God-tracking is trusting the plans and purposes of God.

“You are faithful, Lord, and I believe your plans will work out for my future filled with hope and purpose.”

“Dear Lord, I know and believe that you have glorious plans for my life. I confess Jesus to be my personal Lord and Saviour and therefore, trust that the plans you have for me are personal and for my good. Forgive me for making my own plans or pre-empting your plans by jumping to conclusions. I acknowledge you, O Lord, in all my ways and trust you to fulfil your purposes in my life according to your plans and not mine. You are faithful, Lord, and I believe your plans will work out for my future filled with hope and purpose. Amen.”

“Never give up, only look up and continue to acknowledge the Lord in all your ways, trusting him to bring you back to your Zion and restore your fortunes like streams in the desert.”

Psalm 126:4
Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like streams in the Negeb!

God’s people were distraught when Jerusalem fell in 597 BC and they were exiled to Babylon. Their hopes and dreams were dashed. Dads had great ambition for their sons and moms dreamt of the day their daughters would raise their own children in a free and bonnie land. Leaders dreamt of growing their communities. Farmers imagined flourishing crops to feed the children while rabbis had visions of teaching their people the ways of Yehovah. But now, their dreams and ambitions were shattered. By the waters of Babylon, they sat down and wept when they remembered Zion. Yet, the prophet Jeremiah had prophesied the word of the Lord, “I will visit you, and I will fulfil to you my promise and bring you back to this place.”

The people of God had hope. Adonai had promised to restore their dreams. Out of the ashes of despair and seeming abandonment, their dreams would rise. God promised to return them to the land flowing with milk and honey. That promise was all they had to hold onto while they were in captivity. Seventy years later the Jews returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple of the Lord.

Hold on to your dreams. Never doubt the purposes of your God. His word endures forever. You may feel like you’re in exile today – dreams dashed, ambition washed over – but don’t let go of God’s word to fulfil his promise to you, to bring you back to the place of prosperity. Out of the ashes, your dreams will rise. Just keep your eyes on Jesus and your nose in God’s word. Never give up, only look up and continue to acknowledge the Lord in all your ways. Trust God to bring you back to your Zion and restore your fortunes like streams in the desert.

God-tracking is trusting God to fulfil your dreams.

“I repent of my attitude of despair and choose to believe that you will restore my fortunes.”

“Dear Lord, I feel like I’m in Babylonian captivity. So much has gone wrong in my life over the past few months and years. My dreams are dashed and I’m losing the will to live. Yet, I know you are always true to your word and your word reminds me that all your promises are yes and amen in Jesus.

“God’s word to you today is to step away, step back and allow God to fulfil the plans that he knows he has for you. His promises are always yes in Jesus.”

Matthew 6:10
Your kingdom come. Your will be done.

Sarai was a beautiful woman. She was married to an influential man. Abram had migrated with his family and company many miles across arid desert regions and had taken up residence in a new land. Before leaving, God, who he had not before known, appeared to him and gave him a promise that he would be the father of nations. He was confused at this promise since his lovely wife, Sarai, was unable to have children. Yet Abram believed the Lord God Almighty who had revealed himself to him.

Many years later, well past the age of childbearing, God sent angels to Abram, now called Abraham, to reaffirm his promise. When Sarai, now called Sarah, heard the angels, she laughed because she knew how impossible it would be for her to have a baby. But her husband continued to believe in God’s promise. Abraham was the father of faith.

More time passed. Abraham and his lovely wife were now very old. Desperate to realise God’s promise, Sarah made a plan. She suggested Abraham sleep with her maidservant to produce offspring for her (a custom common at that time). Abraham was convinced. And so, Ishmael was born. By their own plan, they filled God’s promise, or so they thought. But God is always true to his word. Abraham was nearly100-years old when Sarah gave birth to the promised child. They named him Isaac, which means laughter because they were delighted by God’s humour to grant them a child at such an age.

We know the story well, how Isaac was the father of the Jewish nation of which Jesus, the Messiah, was born. God’s plan was not only for Abraham to be blessed and realise God’s promises, but for you and me, today in the 21st century, to realise the promise of God to bless the world through the offspring of Abraham.

Whose plan will you follow? God has made his will clear to you. You know that he has great plans for you – plans for peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. And yet, as I do and Abraham did, you have made your own plans to fulfil God’s promises. God’s word to you today is to step away, step back and allow God to fulfil the plans that he knows he has for you. His promises are always yes in Jesus.

God-tracking is following God’s plans, not your own.

WILLING & OBEDIENTLY LAYING IT ALL DOWN

“God’s call to you and me today is to offer ourselves as living sacrifices to the Lord; to willingly and obediently lay it all down for Jesus.”

Romans 12:1
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

The path was long and steep. Abraham, now over 100 years of age, led his young son up the mountain. Isaac was carrying a stack of firewood and a lit lantern. The old man was sombre and teary-eyed. His God – the God Almighty – had asked him to do the unthinkable, to sacrifice his son to him on the mountain.

On arriving at its peak, Abraham built an altar. “Here’s the fire, Abba, and the wood,” said the boy, “but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Sobbing, the old man bound his son and raised him to the altar. The boy showed no resistance. He trusted his father. Raising the sharp knife, Abraham was poised to plunge it deep into his son of promise. Just then, he heard, his name being called, “Abraham, Abraham!” Abraham lifted his eyes and looked. Behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. On the mount of the Lord, God had provided a lamb for the sacrifice. Abraham worshiped God.

Isaac was Abraham’s living sacrifice. Abraham had heard the call of God to surrender his son – his dreams – to the Lord and obediently followed the call of God. It was Abraham’s obedience that God honoured, because obedience is better than sacrifice. Isaac, Abraham’s living sacrifice, returned home with his father, alive and well. Isaac grew to become the ancestor of Messiah.

God’s call to you and me today is to offer ourselves as living sacrifices to the Lord; to willingly and obediently lay it all down for Jesus. To offer our dreams, our aspirations and hopes to him, as holy sacrifices. Like Abraham, God is calling you and me to obediently let go of our private agendas and ambitions, to willingly sacrifice them on his altar. It is said that it is the altar that sanctifies the sacrifice. As you lay down your dreams on his altar as a living sacrifice, your gracious Lord will provide. He will restore your dreams many times over.

Today, lay it all down and be transformed by the renewal of your mind, to discern the perfect will of God for your life.

God-tracking is a living sacrifice.

GOD-TRACKING IS BEING CONFIDENT OF WHO LIVES IN YOU

1 John 4:4
Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Abraham was called by God to leave his home town of Ur in the land of the Chaldeans and migrate to the land of the Canaanites, which is Israel today. At that time, God revealed himself to Abraham as Lord God Almighty, the all sufficient One, or El Shaddai. Many years after Abraham had settled in his new land, there was a war between several kings in the region, which threatened Abraham’s family. Operating under the blessing of God, against all odds, Abraham was instrumental in conquering these kings. At the end of the battle Abraham was blessed by Melchizedek, king of the city-state, Salem (Jerusalem today). Melchizedek was neutral in the recent battle and a king like none of the other. He was also a priest. In fact, in Genesis 14 Melchizedek is called, priest of God Most High, or El Elyon. Melchizedek was a type of Christ in that he was priest and king.

I believe Abraham enjoyed God’s favour. God had called him to ultimately become the father of the Jews, who brought us the Messiah. Up to this point in his life, Abraham knew God as the all sufficient mighty God. The day he met Melchizedek he discovered God as El Elyon, the God Most High. In battle with the kings, Abraham was outnumbered and outgunned. Yet, he won the fight. Abraham was victorious because the God he served was not only his sufficiency but was also greater than any other god, man or force in the universe. He discovered that his Almighty God was also God Most High! There is none greater, more powerful or more benevolent than El Elyon.

El Elyon is your God, too, if you confess Christ as Lord and Saviour. Through Christ, you have been reconciled to God. Through Christ, you have God dwelling in you as the Holy Spirit. It is no longer you who live but Christ who lives in you. Therefore, you have El Elyon ¬– God Most High –literally resident in your mortal body. You are a temple of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, whatever you’re facing in life; whatever your enemy brings against you; whatever the odds (like when Abraham fought the kings) know this: greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world! Nothing is greater! He is El Elyon, God Most High, and he lives in you.

God-tracking is being confident of who lives in you.

O God Most High, you are greater

“O Lord, El Elyon, thank you for reconciling me to yourself through the intercession of Jesus. Thank you that I am forgiven and redeemed by the blood of Christ. Thank you that it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. I confess, therefore, that greater is he who lives within me than he who lives in the world. By your grace and power, I will stand strong against the forces of darkness and all that Satan could bring upon me, in the name of Jesus. O God Most High, you are greater than disease, you are greater than confusion, you are greater than depression and every fear the enemy could level against me. I confess, as Melchizedek blessed Abraham, blessed be God Most High, who has delivered my enemies into my hand! Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS CLIMBING THOSE MOUNTAINS IN FAITH THAT GOD WILL PROVIDE

GOD-TRACKING IS CLIMBING THOSE MOUNTAINS IN FAITH THAT GOD WILL PROVIDE

Psalm 34:10
The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

When I was a teenager I used to sing a song written by Andre Crouch, whose chorus line goes: “Jesus is the answer for the world today, above him there’s no other, Jesus is the way.” It’s a great old gospel number that impacted my life at the time. For some reason, this song came to mind again this week. The old voice is a little shaky but I gave it a try. Coming to the second verse I paused: “I know you got some mountains that you think you cannot climb.”

Abraham was very old and frail. Warily, he laboured up the mountain, as stabs of pain gripped his aged joints. His promised son, Isaac perhaps 10 to 12-years old, sprang youthfully from rock to rock as they climbed higher. Obediently the man of faith had set out to follow God’s command to offer his only son as a sacrifice to him. I could imagine, to old Abe, that mountain must have seemed the highest and most gruelling mountain he’d ever climbed.

Sobbing and lumbering the old man drags himself to the summit of his mountain. With tear streaked cheeks, Abraham prepares the alter and binds his son. The boy might have been screaming and writhing to escape the old man’s grip as his father lifted him onto the wood. Raising a frail arm, Abraham prepares to thrust a knife deep into his promised son. Just then: “Abraham, Abraham! Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God.” An angel’s voice. Looking up, Abraham sees a ram caught in a bush. Tears of relief and joy now as he unbinds his son. “This place shall be called, ‘The LORD will provide,’” said Abraham. And so, it is said, “On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”

I know you’ve got some mountains that you think you cannot climb. But, like Abraham, I know too, that God has not abandoned you. His Word is true and he will fulfil all that he has promised. Sometimes God calls us to climb high mountains but, as Rees Howells wrote in his book, Intercessor, “Deliverance is always found on the mount; living faith must first prove to God that it has taken his word and promise for victory.” Jesus is your answer. Above him there’s no other.

God-tracking is climbing those mountains in faith that God will provide.

Dear Lord, I know that at the top of this climb have already provided my need

“Dear God, it seems like I am climbing a high rocky mountain at the moment, with steep cliffs on both sides of the path. I feel as though, if I put one foot wrong, I’m going to fall. But, I know you are with me. These needs seem overwhelming but I know you are my provider. Help me to obey you and be ready to make the sacrifices you ask for. Help me to be strong and climb in faith. Dear Lord, I know that at the top of this climb have already provided my need. Jesus, you’re the answer; you’re the way and above you there’s no other. Amen.”
