“Of all the plans God knows he has for you, the most important plan he has is for your sanctification. Sanctification is the process of holiness.”

Isaiah 1:19
If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land

If you asked my wife, Karen she would confirm that I’m a true nostalgist. I don’t take lightly to change. I tend to hanker after the “good ol’ days”. Now, there’s nothing wrong in remembering the good times in life when you enjoyed God’s blessings. I have many very good memories. However, life does not stand still. People change and circumstances change. And when God says, “I know the plans I have for you,” you can be sure God’s plans are positive and progressive.

Of all the plans God knows he has for you, the most important plan he has is for your sanctification. Sanctification is the process of holiness. In other words, sanctification is the process you and I undergo to become more Christlike or holy. We are exhorted to be holy as God is holy.

When you asked Jesus into your heart you were spiritually transformed; born again. That is, your old sinful nature died. You became a new creation and received new life through Christ. At this point you were imputed with God’s righteousness. But this is a spiritual process – it occurs in your spirit man. Your soul (mind, personality and character) and your flesh (body) are still subject to the world around you. It’s in these two parts of your person where sanctification occurs. And change is inevitable for the process of sanctification.

Therefore, be encouraged to move forward with the plans God knows he has for you. Continue to progress in your God-tracking without looking back. God’s plans are for your welfare, to give you a future filled with hope. And when you fail (as I do – often) come before Abba Father in repentance for any wrong, seek his forgiveness and correction and then press on. This is the process of sanctification that God has designed for you. God is a reasonable person. He says to you today, “Come let us reason together. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.”

God’s mercies are new every morning. Remember, as the old song says, every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.

Help me to progress in my sanctification to ne holy as you are holy

“Abba Father, thank you so much that righteous Jesus died for unrighteous me. Thank you that you placed my sin upon him at Calvary so that I could be imputed with your righteousness. Therefore, I claim that you have made me spiritually righteous by the blood of Jesus. But, dear Lord, in the flesh still I fail. Forgive me for my sin. Help me to let go of old wrong ways that I may lay hold of your new goodness. I reason with you, today. Help me to progress in my sanctification to be holy as you are holy. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS WILLINGLY TRACKING GOD’S GLORIOUS NEWNESS

“The Scripture promises that if we willingly and obediently submit to the newness of God’s purposes then we will eat the good of the land – we will prosper!”

Isaiah 1:19

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land

I am a very nostalgic person. I don’t take lightly to change, particularly if that change means letting go of something I have always enjoyed. However, the scriptures tell us that God is the God of the new: in him, we are new creations; the Blood of Jesus is our new covenant and he leads us into new things, hidden things that we have not known. This does not, for one minute imply that God changes his mind or is inconsistent in any way. It does, however, imply that God is infinite and omniscient. In his foreknowledge he knows our frailty and fickleness and that we consistently require to change to grow in the knowledge of his will.

I recently endured a lifechanging event that compelled me to let go of an old dream and aspire to new things. Due to my reluctance to change, I yearned after my previous position to the point of nausea. I would open my eyes every morning with the wake-up-blues. You know the feeling – waking from a dream of the old days, you miserably mope for minutes before getting up, hankering back to the old season. Indeed, when God brought the changes into my life (and being convinced that God had brought the changes) I was obedient to follow his altered directing of my path, for I never fail to acknowledge him in all my ways. However, though obedient, I was not willing to change.

Listen to God’s word to you today: “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.” Note that: willing and obedient. God knows what he is doing in your life. He has eternal foreknowledge of your whole lifespan. If you continually acknowledge God in all your ways, he will direct your life track; and it is God’s will that matters. When God closes one door, he will open another, in his time. Sometimes, however, God closes one activity or involvement only to revive an old one and make it new. The scripture promises that if we willingly and obediently submit to the newness of God’s purposes then we will eat the good of the land – we will prosper!

Someone has said that science has come up with a term to describe an organism that never changes. That call it… dead! I learnt in a recent experience that God’s new is always new and his new is a living, breathing “new”. The key to remaining in God’s perfect progressive will is being willing to obediently change.

God-tracking is willingly tracking God’s glorious newness.

I choose now to accept the changes you have instigated and willingly submit to following your new plans for me

“Dear Lord, I realise now that I have been hankering after past dreams and aspirations; things that you have shut down in my life. Forgive me, O Lord. I choose now to accept the changes you have instigated and willingly submit to following your new plans for me. I believe you know the plans you have for me, but I don’t. Therefore, I acknowledge you in all my ways and trust you to work all things out for my good and your glory. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS BEING CONFIDENT THAT YOU ARE A NEW CREATION

“And he has great plans for you. One word from your lips, under his anointing, can change the world – change one life and you change the world, through those eyes. In Christ, your story matters!”

2 Corinthians 5:17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

“In the face of every person I stabbed,” said the young man in the video I was watching, “I saw the face of my father. I hated my father. He was a cruel drunkard who would beat my mom and me.” The testimony went on to tell of how this young man had become a violent teenage gang member who found himself in prison for murder. Then one day, while in solitary confinement, Jesus appeared to him. This young man was stripped to his core. He fell on his face and surrendered his life to Christ. When he was finally released from prison, he forgave his father and led him to Jesus.

I love hearing stories like this. They truly reveal the power of God’s grace and forgiveness. Perhaps your story is like this young man’s story. It could be that Jesus has saved you from a life of violent crime, intense depression or desperate abandonment and you have come to realise the same forgiveness and healing that the man in our story had. Or perhaps not. It could be that, like me, you grew up in a Christian home and simply came to terms with the fact that Jesus died for you. Accepting him as Lord and saviour, you found peace and hope but, for all intents and purposes, your life hardly changed. So, whose experience is more real?

The one thing I often tend to miss when I read or hear testimonies of radically powerful conversions like this is, the same Lord who saved that life, saved mine. Albeit not as dramatically or visually pungent, the same Jesus that appeared to this man in his prison cell has touched my life. Just because I did not suffer the same ills that he suffered before coming to Christ, and just because I did not have a supernatural encounter as he did, does not mean I am less saved from a life of sin and depravity than he is.

The day you said to Jesus, “I accept you as my Lord and Saviour and give my life to you,” you were radically changed on the inside. Instantaneously, your spirit-man was transformed; you were born again. The Bible says that the old has gone and the new has come. In Christ, you are a new creature. You have been supernaturally reconciled to the holy Creator of the universe and now walk with him in intimate fellowship. And he has great plans for you. One word from your lips, under his anointing, can change the world – change one life and you change the world, through those eyes. In Christ, your story matters!

I don’t care how dramatic or mundane my conversion was, dear Lord, I believe that my story matters.

“Thank you, Jesus, for saving me. Thank you that, in you, I am a new creation; the old has gone and the new has come. Thank you, Father, that you have a clear plan for my life, that my words can change lives, by your Holy Spirit. I surrender my life entirely to you. Use me for your glory. I don’t care how dramatic or mundane my conversion was, dear Lord, I believe that my story matters. Amen.”

Dear God Tracker

Your Constant In The Heat Of Change

It’s been said that some people will change when they see the light. Others change only when they feel the heat. Sadly life on this planet is thwarted with change. From the moment we’re born until the day we pass on to greener pastures we undergo constant change. Changes can sometimes be planned and desirable but they can also result from the unavoidable consequences of other people’s choices or changes upon our lives. But it’s how we deal with change that truly matters.

I thank God that he never changes. The Bible says that he is the same yesterday, today and forever. The Lord God is the only constant in the universe. When Jesus died to reconcile us to God he opened the way for the God-constant to become part of our lives. The day you saw the light and asked Jesus into your life you were transformed into a new creation. In unchanging Christ then, you are always safe and secure. So even when factors in your life influence your circumstances for change, the One in you remains the same, always. Like the air you breathe, God’s Holy Spirit is alongside you through every change of life you undergo. His love, grace and strength never vary. So today allow him to be your constant in the heat of change.

God tracking is constantly changing for the good, for good.

Ever blessing

Dudley

Verse of the Week

2 Corinthians 3:18

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

Quote of the Week

A Sample of Dudley’s Fave Quotes.

“Everything continues in a state of rest unless it is compelled to change by forces impressed upon it.” --- Issac Newton

 

Don’t Give-up, Look-up!

Look-up and Fix Your Eyes On Jesus!

Author Of My Faith

Hebrews 12:2

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Pray

“Dear Lord, thank you for changing my life for the good, for good when I asked Jesus into my heart. Thank you that the old has gone and the new has come. But I pray that you will help me to face unavoidable circumstantial changes that come my way. Help me to deal with the new and to release the old. Help me to be consistent through things that vary in my days. I choose to fix my eyes on Jesus who was constant throughout the crucifixion, because he saw himself on the other side of his circumstances, seated at God’s right hand. Thank you for being my constant, Lord, and author of my faith.”
