A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

The weekly publication of GodTracker will take a break for the flowing two weeks. I pray the Lord will continue to bless and guide you according to his plans as you continue to acknowledge him in all your ways.

Dudley Anderson.

“His plans are to give you a hope and future. Your Father loves you and, like any dad, desires the best for you. God’s best is good for you. In him there is a future for you, and your hope will not be cut off.”

Proverbs 23:18
Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

Linda walked home from the meeting forlorn. She had such hope for this new job but the interview didn’t go well. Linda had prayed about the meeting and committed it to God but was not sure she had been successful. All she could do now was to hope. But hope seemed so elusive to her today. “Lord,” she cried, “how long will I need to wait for the answer?” Linda knew all she could do was wait in hope that her Lord would open the door. She took courage because God’s timing is always best.

In the Bible, the words hope and wait are interchangeable. In the Psalms we read, “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word, I hope,” and “For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.” Isaiah puts it like this, “But they who wait (or hope) for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

God-tracking is based on the premise that God has plans for your life. His plans for you are for your shalom, that is your wellbeing, success and peace. His plans are to give you a hope and future. Your Father loves you and, like any dad, desires the best for you. God’s best is always good for you. In him, you have a future and your hope will not be cut off.

So, until you realise what you’re hoping for, wait for him to meet your needs and guide your footsteps. Wait on him in hope that he will open doors of opportunity according to the plans he knows he has for you. He is faithful and he will do it. And remember, faith is assurance of things hoped for.

God-tracking is waiting in hope for God’s plans to play out

I choose now to wait in hope for your perfect timing for my circumstances to come together according to your plans

“My dear Father God, I know that you have plans for my life. Plans to give me a blessed and hopeful future. Forgive me for doubting that you would provide and open the right doors for my future. I choose now to wait in hope for your perfect timing for my circumstances to come together according to your plans. I put my faith in your goodness. Amen.”

HE WILL BRING YOU THROUGH

“Your Lord knows the difficulties you face today and he is in the thicket with you. Do not lose heart, he will bring you through it all.”

Isaiah 54:10
For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”

 Oswald Chambers said, “We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.” It’s guaranteed, difficulties will come in life. Stormy times will happen, but they will not reduce God’s word to you. Listen: “Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines,

the produce of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's; he makes me tread on my high places.”

Jesus is our greatest example of endurance under difficulty. All his life on earth, he knew who he was. He knew he was God’s chosen and anointed One, the Messiah. He knew the prophets said that the Messiah would be a servant king, not a great political leader. As the Servant King, Jesus knew he would suffer dejection, rejection and an intensely torturous physical death. Yet we read that in the Garden of Gethsemane when he had the option to walk away from his trouble, he chose to do the will of God and submit to the cross. We read that Jesus looked through the cross, scorned its shame, and saw himself victorious on the other side of his difficulty. He set his mind on things above and trusted the Spirit of God to raise him from the dead.

The word to you today is, in the thick of your difficulties, don’t give up, look up!  Your Lord knows the difficulties you’re facing and he is in the thicket with you. Do not lose heart, he will bring you through it all. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for you an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as you look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. Indeed, pray with your eyes on God, not on your difficulties.

God-tracking is trusting God to bring you through.

“If you know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and have committed your life to him then you are in Christ. What an auspicious position of vantage. Therefore, may we set out hearts on things above. All we are and all we do is all about Jesus!”

Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

“It’s all about Jesus.” I sensed the words of the Holy Spirit burn in my heart as I gazed out the window while in prayer. I’d sat down on the floor in my room next to the window, as I usually do when I have my time of devotions in the morning. I was praying about my work. I currently have several irons in the fire and often become so consumed with my work that I forget why I do what I do. 

One of my favourite chapters in the Bible is Colossians chapter 3. The chapter begins with the words, “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God,” (NIV). Further on we read that whatever we do in life as Christian believers, we are to do in the name of Jesus. That is, every aspect of our life and work (whatever that work might be) needs to be done with one focus: Christ.

The words “in Christ” appear 97 times in the English Standard Version of the Bible. You are a new creation in Christ. You have all your needs met in Christ. You enjoy every spiritual blessing in Christ. And you are raised up and seated in heavenly places in Christ. If you know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and have committed your life to him then you are in Christ. What an auspicious position of vantage. Therefore, may we set out hearts on things above. All we are and all we do is all about Jesus!

"Acknowledge that Jesus died and rose again to expose the deeds of darkness and put your faith in him. The night is far gone. Let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light. At one time you were darkness but now you are light in the Lord. So, walk as children of light.”

1 John 1:5
This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

 
Once a year Jews celebrate Chanukkah. Chanukkah commemorates an event that took place in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BC. In 168 BC the ruling Seleucid Greek empire, under king Antiochus IV Epiphanes, outlawed Jewish practice and defiled the Temple by installing an altar to the Greek god, Zeus and sacrificing pigs. A small army of Jews, known as the Maccabees, rebelled. They regained control over the Temple, removed the symbols of Zeus and built a new altar so they could once again offer sacrifices to God. According to the Talmud, a miracle occurred at this time. There was only enough oil to keep the Temple’s menorah (oil lamp), burning for one day. But the flame stayed alight for eight days until a new supply of oil could be found. This is the basis for the eight-day celebration of Chanukkah.

It's no coincidence that our Jewish brothers celebrate Chanukkah near the time of Christmas. The menorah represents the light of God and the outworking of God’s Word and Spirit. At the beginning of the gospel of John we read, “The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world,” and further on it says that all who received him, who believed in his name, he would give the right to become children of God, born, not of blood nor of the will of man, but of God.

 

Jesus, the Messiah, came into the world, sent as the light of God to illuminate the way to freedom from bondage to sin. The Jews were in bondage under the Seleucid Greeks during the intertestamental period and were freed by the Maccabees. The symbol of this liberty was the light provided by the menorah that burned miraculously for eight days without replenishment. Mankind has been under the bondage of darkness since the fall in Eden. Jesus, the true light of God, exposed the deeds of darkness and he revealed the only way to life, though his act at Calvary.

 

Today, acknowledge that Jesus died and rose again to expose the deeds of darkness and put your faith in him. The night is far gone, so let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light. At one time you were darkness but now you are light in the Lord. So, walk as children of light; the miracle of true light!

I instate Jesus as the Lord and Light of my being

“Heavenly Father, thank you for the miracle of Jesus. To this corrupt world filled with darkness, you sent the True Light, Jesus, on that first Christmas to show us the way of life and peace. Today, O God, I confess Jesus to be Lord of my life and put my faith in his death and resurrection. His deed at Calvary exposed the deeds of darkness and sin in me and I repent in his holy name. I expel the gods of this world – including ego – from the temple of my heart and I instate Jesus as the Lord and Light of my being. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS GETTING INTO THE WORD OF GOD

“We read that the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. The Word, as contained in the Bible, confirms the actions of the Holy Spirit while the Holy Spirit activates the Word of God, for God watches over his Word to perform it.”

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

Concerning the Bible, George Muller, the great evangelist and director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, England said, “The first 3 years after conversion, I neglected the Word of God. Since I began to search it diligently, the blessing has been wonderful. I have read the Bible through one hundred times and always with increasing delight!" John Bunyan, who wrote Pilgrim's Progress, said this, "Read the Bible, and read it again, and do not despair of help to understand something of the will and mind of God, though you think they are fast locked up from you. Neither trouble yourself, though you may not have commentaries and expositions; pray and read, and read and pray; for a little from God is better than a great deal from man."

The Bible is the hardcopy of God’s word to you and me. The Bible is the source of our understanding of God. The Bible is the most treasured possession I have. However, the Bible is only a book. It is the message of the Bible – its words – that come from God. And these words are inspired and propagated by the Holy Spirit. Just as my word is the embodiment of who I am, so God’s Word is the embodiment of who he is. In fact, the Word and the Holy Spirit are synonymous. We read that the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. The Word, as contained in the Bible, confirms the actions of the Holy Spirit while the Holy Spirit activates the Word of God, for God watches over his Word to perform it.

However, reading the Bible can sometimes become a chore. Some folks say they fall asleep reading the Bible. This was my original experience. Later I discovered that I did not need to rush to read it all as soon as possible. I learnt to read it slowly. You see, you have the rest of your life to read the Bible, so read it for the rest of your life. Read small sections at a time (most modern Bibles are divided into headings). Pray before you read, then read and pray again after you have read and see how the Lord will activate his Word in your life. As you follow these suggestions, you may find that you read one verse many times without getting anything from it.  Then, the very next time you read it jumps out at you. That is the activation of the Holy Spirit upon his Word in your life.

So, I say, get into God’s word and get God’s word into you!

God-tracking is getting into the word of God.

“As the fireman on the plate of a steam engine looks out for the cooler dark patches in the fire so he can refuel it with fresh coal, so you and I need to examine our lives to identify the dark areas that are growing cold and pour in the fuel of God’s Word and Spirit.”

2 Corinthians 4:16

So, we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.

The aroma of oil and coal smoke swamped Matt’s senses as he hauled spadesful of raw coal into the fire. He had been invited by his friend, Keith to ride in the cab of a steam engine. The fire roared and the engine steamed forward a great pace along the track. “How do you know the best place to throw the coal,” asked Matt as he wiped the sweat from his brow. “Look for the dark patches in the fire,” said Keith. “The dark patches are where the fire is dwindling and needs to be stoked.”

Jesus taught a parable about ten young girls who, according to the culture of the day, were responsible for watching for the coming of the bridegroom at a Jewish wedding. They each held an oil lamp as they watched and waited. Sadly, five of them did not bring sufficient fuel for their lamps and ran out. Referring to his return, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, watch, therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

Faith is a fire in your heart. Jesus said, “Nevertheless when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” Jesus is physically returning to earth, soon! Are we ready and waiting? Are our lamps trimmed and fuelled? As the fireman on the plate of a steam engine looks out for the cooler dark patches in the fire so he can refuel it with fresh coal, so you and I need to examine our lives to identify the dark areas that are growing cold and pour in the fuel of God’s Word and Spirit. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day as we stoke the fire of faith.

GOD-TRACKING IS WALKING IN SELF-SACRIFICING KINDNESS

“The quality of being friendly, generous and considerate, kindness can shatter the hardest of hearts. Kindness is self-sacrificing. Kindness, the least appreciated of all noble traits, is the greatest of humane qualities because, kindness acts out love.”

Galatians 5:22,23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Subscribe at godtracker.co.uk

One of the fruits of the Spirit is kindness. Kindness is defined as, the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Along with the other eight fruits of the Spirit, true kindness is imputed by the power of the Holy Spirit in a life totally sold out to Jesus.

Aisha was raised in a good home. Her parents are Hindus, therefore believed in many gods, including the Lord God Almighty. However, Aisha was brought up with no understanding of who Jesus Christ is. When she reached her teens, Aisha rebelled. She became a very withdrawn and angry person. She trusted no one and was very cynical. However, one girl in her high school class was able to break through her hard shell. Abi knew Jesus as her personal Lord and saviour and extruded the love of God. She showed unconditional kindness to Aisha, despite her aggressive behaviour.

“I could not understand why she was so kind to me,” said Aisha. “She would always sit with me at lunchtime, often not saying a word – just near to me. She would buy me drinks and pastries from the canteen. And when I was in a mood, she would just listen to me rant. I did not deserve Abi’s kindness.” Abi’s kindness eventually softened Aisha’s hardened heart. She was able to share the love of God, through the death and resurrection of Jesus, with Aisha. Aisha surrendered her heart to Christ.

The quality of being friendly, generous and considerate, kindness can shatter the hardest of hearts. Kindness is self-sacrificing. Kindness, the least appreciated of all noble traits, is the greatest of humane qualities because, kindness acts out love. God was so kind to you and me, though we did not deserve it, he sent Jesus to heal us of our rebellion. Only by his generous and considerate outpouring of the Holy Spirit into our lives can we extrude the same kindness shown by young Abi.

In his great sovereignty and grace, God has chosen to give you the most mysterious and auspicious privilege of prayer. Use it!

John 15:16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

I was thinking about prayer the other day. To me, prayer is the most mysterious and auspicious privilege we have as Christians. How it is that my humble words can move the hand of Almighty Creator, I’ll never fully grasp, yet they can. I believe it has something to do with God’s love. God is love and God loves to commune with his beloved. This happens in prayer.

As I pondered prayer I imagined prayer was like the great aqueducts that the Roman constructed to bring water from lakes and reservoirs into their cities. Now, rain falls where it chooses, so the rain could provide drinking water for Roman cities by falling directly on the city. Yet, the Romans also built aqueducts to carefully channel water into the cities to provide a constant supply for their residents. Just the same, God in his sovereignty, can and does meet our needs and guide our steps by his own will and initiative, like rain falling on the Roman cities. However, in his love, he has opened the way for you and me to be canals of his power through personal deliberate prayer, like the Roman aqueducts supplying the cities of their empire with water.

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful, and in Christ, we are righteous. And no good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly. Our God will meet all our needs according to his rich resources in Jesus. He is faithful, and his love is enduring. He will never let you down; he is with you always. In his great sovereignty and grace, God has chosen to give you the most mysterious and auspicious privilege of prayer. Use it!

Thank you that my prayer is like a canal, bringing the sustenance of your touch to those around me. Help me to wisely pray. Help me to fill my mind with your Word so that I will always pray according to your will. Help me to be diligent in prayer and to walk in faith that you will answer every prayer I utter.
