He can do exceedingly abundantly above all that you could ask or think, and his riches will meet your needs 100%.”

Ephesians 3:20
Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us

“I was preaching the good news of the healing power of God when a lady shouted out from the back of the church, ‘I can see! I can see!’.” My friend, David, was sharing how a lady was healed of blindness in a service where he preached. Rachel had been blind for almost all her life. After she received her healing, she went to the doctor for a check-up. He confirmed that she had received 80% of her sight back. The church was ecstatic when she shared this the next Sunday. “But,” said David, “God is not the God of the 80%. God is the God of the 100%.” He prayed for her again. A few weeks later she returned to the church to share that she was now blessed with 20/20 vision.

The God that we serve is the God of 100%. When God created the world and everything in it, it was good. God is not a god of the half measure. All that God is and all that God does is perfect and whole. When the Scripture says that we are saved by Christ’s blood and healed by his stripes then we are saved and healed 100%.

Whatever prospects you face today, whatever your need, I stand with you in agreement that the Lord will meet all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. He can do exceedingly abundantly above all that you could ask or think, and his riches will meet your needs 100%.

https://soundcloud.com/godtracker/gtwd-244-god-tracking-is-trusting-god-to-turn-evil-into-good

“God’s ways are higher than our ways. What others intended for your harm God will turn to good.”

Zephaniah 3:20 (NIV)
“At that time, I will gather you; at that time, I will bring you home. I will give you honour and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes,” says the Lord. 

We all know well the story of Joseph in Genesis. Joseph, son of Jacob, was his father’s favourite son. God had given him prophetic dreams that his family would one day bow before him. His brothers were antagonistic toward Joseph because of jealousy and conspired to sell him into slavery in Egypt.

In Egypt, after a series of turbulent circumstances, Joseph was able to interpret a dream that Pharaoh had, saying that drought and famine were about to impact the land. Based on this information, the king promoted Joseph to a position second only to him. By his position and the wise insight God gave him, Joseph’s actions and planning saved many lives.

When Joseph’s brothers, who lived in Canaan, appealed to Egypt for food, they unwittingly appeared before Joseph. Joseph tests their motives resulting in his brothers bowing to his superiority (fulfilment of his original dreams). Finally, Joseph reveals himself to his brothers and declares, “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save the lives of many people.”

God's purpose always prevails. He knows your beginning from your end and everything in between. Your circumstances can change, as Jospeh’s did, yet if you continue to acknowledge God in all your ways, he will nevertheless direct their outcome. What Joseph’s brothers intended for evil against him God used to promote him. Evil can be changed to good at submission to the hand of God. Be encouraged to hold on – never give up – and trust God to deliver you from those adverse circumstances you’re facing. God’s ways are higher than our ways. What others intended for your harm God will turn to good. So, seek him and call upon him. In his time, he will exalt you and restore your fortunes before your very eyes.

God-tracking is trusting God to turn evil into good.

IT’S ALL IN THE BIBLE. READ ALL ABOUT IT.

“Dear Lord I sometimes feel like Joseph must have felt when he was in prison in Egypt. You had a plan for him, but he was incarcerated with no hope for a future. But you rescued him and what others intended for his harm you turned out for his good. I commit my circumstance to you and trust that, in your time, you will restore me to good health, good fortune and good living. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS CONFIDENTLY ENDURING YOUR TRIALS BECAUSE HE HAS GREAT PLANS FOR YOU

The old has gone and new things – plans for welfare and not for evil – are in store for you if you acknowledge God in all your ways and keep your eyes on Jesus.”

Isaiah 42:6
“I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you.

Isaiah the prophet was writing to his people, Israel and Judah, prior to Samaria being conquered by Assyria and Jerusalem being taken by Babylon, when he said, “I will take you by the hand and keep you.” Great calamity faced God’s people because of their arrogant rebellion. However, the God of mercy and grace still loved his little ones. The promise was, they would be restored. Seventy years after the Babylonian captivity, the Jews returned to Jerusalem. The prophet Jeremiah prophesied, “When seventy years are completed, I will fulfil to you my promise and bring you back to this place.” He continued, “‘For I know the plans I have for you’, declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.’” God had great and new things planned for his people. Through Isaiah, he said, “Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare.”

The Jews are God’s chosen race – the elect of God. However, Jesus the Messiah came to reconcile not only the Jews to the God of Israel but all who would call on his name. God’s mercy and grace are extended to you, today. God has not replaced Israel with the Church. In Christ, you and I are grafted into the vine of Israel. In Christ, you and I are the elect of God. Therefore, In Christ, the Lord has called you in righteousness and taken you by the hand to keep you safe. He knows the plans he has for you. The old has gone and new things – plans for welfare and not for evil – are in store for you if you acknowledge God in all your ways and keep your eyes on Jesus.

You may find you’re facing trying times today. But take heart, like the Israelites under Babylonian captivity, God is saying to you, “Fear not, for I am with you. I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”

Jesus has reconciled me to your purposes. In Christ I know you have great new plans for my future. O Lord, I repent of any sin – any rebellion, pride and immorality – and trust that you are faithful and just to blot out my transgressions for your name’s sake.

GOD-TRACKING IS CHOOSING TO FOLLOW GOD’S PLANS


GodTracker 714
The e-devotional helping to keep you on track with God’s plans for your life. GodTracker is published at http://godtracker.co.uk 

“Your heavenly Father knows what is good for you and he knows where you will be most effective in serving him.”

Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

I had an experience in 1998 that convinced me of the necessity of tracking God’s will. I and my family had recently moved to the UK from South Africa with a heart for Christian ministry. In the process of job hunting, I came across a Bible college looking to set up a media department. I applied for the job and firmly believed it was for me. In the process of my application, I acknowledged the Lord and sought his will. However, despite several positive interviews, I was eventually turned down. I was extremely disappointed. “Why did this happen, Lord?” I asked my God. “I firmly believed this was the job for me. Why didn’t I get it?” As quick as a flash the words came to me, “Because, Dudley, you’re simply on track with my will for you right now.”

I was later employed by a Christian radio ministry and produced a radio programme called, OnTrack, which became very popular. OnTrack touched many, many lives across Africa and, in turn, became the source of the devotional you are reading today. You see, God wanted me to simply go through the experience of not getting what I wanted so that I would have a story to tell you of how all things work out according to his plan for our lives. And that plan is good!

God-tracking is a concept based on the fact that God has a plan for your life. It’s a plan for your benefit and the benefit of those around you. But here’s the crunch: He knows the plans he has for you, but you don’t. You are simply called to seek and track his plans and purposes one step at a time, even if his plans seem to deviate from your plans. This you do by acknowledging God in all your ways and by keeping your eyes fixed on Jesus.

Sometimes, however, as you track God’s plans it will seem that you don’t always get what you want. Your heavenly Father knows what is good for you and he knows where you will be most effective in serving him. So, don’t be disappointed when things don’t seem to work out the way you planned. Provided you continue to acknowledge God in prayer and confession; provided you continue to keep watching for his move and listening for his voice and provided you are willing to bend to his will, you will be blessed in all you do. God will achieve his good purposes through you.

I leave you with this quotation from Corrie Ten Boom, “I believe that God delights to use his children in the fulfilment of his plans for the world. I am sure he loves to use small people to do great things.” This is God-tracking.

God-tracking is choosing to follow God’s plans

I walk by faith in the goodness of your plans and the safety of your purposes

“O my Lord and Father, I am sorry for the times that I have gone out to do things my way. Only your will matters for me. Today I choose to seek your will – your Kingdome and your righteousness – and to look for your plans in my life. I acknowledge you in all my ways including my relationships, my work and my desires. I open my heart and my life to your purposes alone and no one else’s. Help me to track your will; help me to go where you send me and do what you command me to do. Help me to not seek to do my own will but yours, always no matter what it costs. I walk by faith in the goodness of your plans and the safety of your purposes. Thank you for your promise that I will find you when I seek you. In Jesus’ name, I pray.  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
GodTracker is published by Sure Reality Media at surereality.net

“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.

READ ALL ABOUT IT
1 Samuel 16:1-13
Romans 12:2
Mark 4:26-29
Isaiah 55:8-11

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.”

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS LIVING BY FAITH UNDER THE BENEFITS OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS IN YOU

Romans 1:17
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.

Jesus is the blueprint of God for your life. The Bible says that we have all sinned and corrupted his perfect righteous image in which we were created. Even though God gave us the Law of Moses, it was rendered powerless in that it was weakened by the sinful nature. So, God sent his own Son, Jesus to reconcile us to himself. Because Jesus is God – God incarnate – he is and was sinless. Even so, God’s plan was to allow righteous Jesus to take the curse of sin when he died for us. You see, God imputed Jesus with your sin so that, by repentance and faith, you could be imputed with his righteousness. In Christ, you become the righteousness of God. Jesus in you is God’s original plan for your life.

Many people think they need to work hard to earn God’s favour, but this is impossible. God is so holy and righteous that we would need to become as he is in order to earn his favour. However, Jesus is already how God is, because Jesus is God in the flesh. Therefore, to become righteous, you and I need to intentionally repent of sin and then live by faith in God’s grace. The moment you truly repent of sin and admit your failings, you die to the old nature of sin. Then the moment you exercise faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus you put confidence in Christ and begin to live by his righteousness.

If you are in Christ you are a new creation, the old sinful life is gone and you have a new righteous life, in Christ. You were crucified with him when you confessed your sins and surrendered your life to God. It’s no longer the old you living in your body; it’s Christ living in you; and he is the righteousness of God! You see, the righteousness you now have in you is not your righteousness but it’s God’s righteousness in you.

Therefore, you can claim the benefits of the righteous. The Palms are packed with promises to the righteous:

“For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favour as with a shield,” (Psalm 5:11)

“The eyes of the Lord are towards the righteous and his ears towards their cry,” (Psalm 34:15)

“When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles,” (Psalm 34:17)

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all,” (Psalm 34:19)

“I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread,” (Psalm 37:25)

These are to mention but a few. However, we remind ourselves that we can only stand righteous before God, through Christ. That is, Jesus Christ is truly righteous and only by faith in his atoning death are we made righteous. Indeed, the righteous will live by faith!

God-tracking is living by faith under the benefits of God’s righteousness in you

Fix your eyes on Jesus

Pray
“O holy God, I admit that, in myself, I don’t have what it takes to be righteous. I admit and confess my sin to you. You are faithful and just to forgive and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Thank you for your grace and mercy and for forgiving me of all sin. I choose to die to my old self and commit my life to you, in Jesus’ name. By faith I now lay hold of your righteousness. I confess that Jesus became sin for me so that, in him, I might become righteous by your righteousness. Thank you for the promises you make to the righteous. I’m made righteous by faith and so live daily by faith, claiming the benefits of the righteous as written in your Word. Thank you for cleansing my sin and making me righteous, in Christ. Amen.”
