“Scripture illuminates the path along which the Holy Spirit is leading me. Remember, the word will always confirm the actions of the Spirit while the Spirit always activates the word.”

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

Immediately after Jesus had been baptised, according to the Law of Moses, the Holy Spirit led him into the wilderness where he fasted for 40 days. Now in his early thirties, Jesus had been brought up under the sound of the Torah and the prophets. He was steeped in the word of God. Undoubtedly, he would have checked that every decision he made was confirmed by the word of God. Now, in the desert, he comes under the attack of Satan. Satan attempts to tempt Jesus to abandon his calling as Messiah and bow to his macabre continence. Deviously, Satan quotes Scripture at Jesus when tempting him to sin.

The word of God is sharper than a double-edged sword, discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. The word of God is a light to our path, guiding our every move in life. However, all Scripture is subjective to interpretation. That is, you can take a scripture (as did Satan in the wilderness with Jesus) and make it mean what you want it to mean. Taking Scripture out of context is exceedingly dangerous. Doing so can lead you in completely the wrong direction in life.

I have learnt to always use Scripture as confirmation of what the Holy Spirit has already placed in my heart. The Spirit often uses circumstance to direct our life’s track. When turning to Scripture for guidance we ask, firstly, do my circumstances line up with sound doctrine? If not, then I am being led astray. Secondly, do the verses I read in the Bible confirm the leading or desire I sense in my heart? If not, then my desires are contrary to the will of God. Scripture illuminates the path the Holy Spirit is leading me along. Remember, the word will always confirm the actions of the Spirit while the Spirit always activates the word.

God-tracking is using Scripture to confirm desire.

GOD-TRACKING IS EXPECTING GOD’S BLESSINGS, IN HIS TIME

“God knows your future. He is the one who controls your input and your output… you can trust him to provide all you will ever need for daily living, precisely when you need it!

Proverbs 10:22The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it

God has an uncanny way of always turning up at the right place and at the right time, doesn’t he?  For instance, just the other week I was crying out to him - again - for his “blessings” on my life, whining and moaning about that common ol’ problem… money!  I do realise that I’m not alone in this cry to God because money (or lack thereof) is an issue that affects us all. I grumbled to God that I missed those days when he would surprise me with a spontaneous little gift here and there.  Why has it stopped?  Why haven’t I been “blessed” like that for a while?  What am I doing wrong?

When I finally stopped complaining, God reminded me that he, not only hears my prayers, but he knows exactly how and when to bless me. I sat down at my desk with an envelope that I found in my letterbox. I lazily opened it to discover a spontaneous anonymous donation towards my ministry!

You see, God doesn’t just hear your prayers for help, he knows everything about your need. And he knows more about your life than just the needs you might have at this moment. He knows your wants, your dreams and your deepest desires.  He knows your motives and the secrets of your heart.  He knows your frustrations and your fears.  He knows it all and he knows how to take care of it all.

The amount that I found in that envelope was not a large amount of money. However, what blessed me about God’s provision was the how and the when I received it. God was reminding me that he is still in control of my life, my family and my ministry, even when it seems to me, he is silent. Even when my need seems bigger than Mt Kilimanjaro, I know that he is the God who removes mountains and casts them into the sea! And he does so in his own timing.

God knows your future. He is the one who controls your input and your output. He is the one who opens and closes the doors of opportunity according to his perfect timing. Provided you keep your eyes on him and acknowledge him in all your ways, you can trust him to provide all you will ever need for daily living, precisely when you need it!

God-tracking is expecting God’s blessings, in his time.

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

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

“Dear Lord, thank you that you are in control of my life. I reaffirm that I acknowledge you in all my ways and therefore trust you to send your blessings, in your time. Lord, I know that you know everything there is to know about me. You know my needs before I even know them. So, I place my confidence in your wisdom and grace to richly meet all my needs, in Christ. I delight myself in you, for your word says are faithful and you will do it. Praise God. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS THANKING GOD FOR TOMORROW’S NEEDS MET, TODAY

GOD-TRACKING IS THANKING GOD FOR TOMORROW’S NEEDS MET, TODAY

Philippians 4:6
do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God

It is written in God’s Word that God desires to meet our needs and grant us the desires of our hearts. On several occasions Jesus tells us to ask in his name and we will receive. Prayer is simply talking to God - talking to him about our needs. Writing to the Philippians, under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, Paul says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” It’s a great privilege to be permitted to pray to God in Jesus’ name, requesting that he meet our needs. However, the key word here is, thanksgiving.

With deep reverence, I think prayer is a bit like ordering a meal in a restaurant. You sit down at the table where you are presented with a menu. The menu contains a list of items you can order for your meal. It is your authority to make a request of the waiter. If you’re like me you’d meditate on the menu for some time before deciding what you want. Then, when the waiter returns to your table you make your request according to what is written. “I’ll have a pepperoni pizza with a salad on the side,” you tell the waiter, who notes your request. Then, immediately after you place your order you say, “Thank you.” You have made your request according to what was written, with thanksgiving.

At this point the waiter toddles off to the kitchen to process your request. Now, in some restaurants you may need to wait a long time for the meal to arrive, in others it may come very quickly. The truth be told, you have no idea when that pizza will arrive. Indeed, it could take 10 minutes, 30 minutes or 45 minutes to arrive, but, since you had faith in both the waiter and the kitchen, you placed your order with thanksgiving, believing that you would receive that for which you asked. When the waiter finally returns and places that steaming aromatic pepperoni in front of you, once again you say, “Thank you.”

I have learnt to thank God for my needs. No longer do I perpetually ask the Lord in prayer, I now thank God in prayer for the answer to my request, even before the answer occurs. We have three reasons to be thankful when making our requests to God by prayer and supplication: 1) thankful that he is willing to hear my request, 2) thankful that he has the power to meet my needs and 3) thankful that he has answered my prayer even before I receive the answer. God is beyond the limit of space and time; he encompasses space and time! Therefore, he is there already at the point where your need is met, the moment you prayed. All that is required is for you to wait for time to catch up with the answers to your prayers. So, pray with thanksgiving, in the present, that your needs are already met, in the future.

“Dear God, thank you that you hear my prayers. Thank you that you have the power to meet my needs. I choose not to worry about my needs and pray according to what is written in your Word, with thanksgiving, that you will meet all my needs according to your riches in Jesus. I believe that you are already on the other side of this wall that I face. You are already there with the answers to my prayers. In faith, I place myself in your hands and wait patiently for my needs to be met. Thank you for answering my prayers. Amen.”

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

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS BEING DELIGHTED IN THE HAPPINESS FOUND IN FOLLOWING CHRIST

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

I realise there are people who go through life with very little difficulty, but these are the exception. For most of us, life is filled with ups and downs (sometimes more downs than ups). However, the secret of being happy is not in looking for happiness itself. Some think happiness is found in pleasure, possessions or people, while others look for happiness in riches. Happiness is illusive and transient. True lasting happiness can only be found by delighting oneself in the Lord.

We all have needs and desires in life. God knows our needs, even before we know them. Jesus taught us not to run after natural pleasures or even natural needs. He said, “Do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.” This is why he told us to look for God’s goodness and God’s Kingdom before looking to meet our own needs or wants. Indeed, God is our Father and no father will spitefully withhold good things from his child.

Whatever your need may be, turn to Abba before you turn anywhere else and trust him to meet that need. Your Father is the Father of heaven and has all power and resource to meet your every need. More than this, he loves you and delights in granting you the desires of your heart. First seek his righteousness so that your desires will line up with his purposes for you. Then delight yourself in the Lord and he will grant you the desires of your heart. So, be delighted to follow his plan for your life; be delighted to spend time with Father in worship and prayer and be delighted to read the Bible, meditating on his Word day and night, Do this and God will fill your life with a contented happiness. Delight yourself in Jesus today and he will make you happy.

God-tracking is being delighted in the happiness found in following Christ.

Fix your eyes on Jesus

I delight myself in you. Therefore, I trust and claim that you will grant me the desires of my heart.

Pray
“Dear Abba Father, thank you so much for your love and grace. Thank you, O Lord, for your willingness to meet my needs according to your riches in Jesus. I humbly submit my desires to you now, seeking first your kingdom purposes in my life. I acknowledge your holiness and your righteousness. Help me to line up my desires with your purposes. I resent my every need to you – emotional, physical, financial and material, in faith that you will meet my needs. I delight in your goodness, O God. I delight in worshipping you, O God. I delight in your Word to me. I delight myself in you. Therefore, I trust and claim that you will grant me the desires of my heart. Amen.”
