Psalm 146:1-2
Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, O my soul!
I will praise the LORD as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

In his book, Prison to Praise, Merlin Carothers shares how praising God for a need is even more powerful than simply praying to God for a need. Praise anticipates what God can do. He writes, “I have come to believe that the prayer of praise is the highest form of communication with God, and one that always releases a great deal of power into our lives.”

When we praise God, we are actually praying. Worship is prayer and prayer is worship. Praising God does not plead a case; praising God anticipates case closed! We are told to have no anxiety about anything but to let our requests be made to God with thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is praise.

Begin praising God and proclaiming his glory into your situation. Instead of praying for your needs, praise for your needs and you will be amazed at how God will release his power into your life.

God-tracking is praising God in the face of every dilemma

Philippians 4:19
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

We had been living in a rented home for 6 months when our landlord announced that she was selling the house. In vain we searched for a new house to let. A week before we needed to vacate, Karen read the story of Paul and Silas in prison. While praying and praising God at midnight, there was an earthquake. The prison doors flew open, and they were freed. Karen praised God for our new home.

That same night, at midnight, our neighbour knocked on our door and announced she had found a house for us. Just as Paul and Silas were miraculously freed from prison through prayer and praise, so Karen and I miraculously had our need met through prayer and praise.

Whatever need you face tomorrow, believe that he will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches today, and then praise him for answered prayer.

God-tracking is praising God today for meeting your needs tomorrow.

“So, whatever your disappointments of yesterday; whatever your fears of tomorrow or your needs today, take heart, Jesus will get you through.”

John 16:33
“In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Jesus had returned home after visiting the Gadarenes where he had driven many demons out of a man into a herd of pigs. No sooner had he climbed out of the boat when he was approached by some people carrying a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Take heart, my son,” and promptly forgave the man’s sins and healed him completely.

On another occasion, while a large crowd pressed in around him, a woman who had been suffering from a bleed for 12 years touched his cloak in faith that she would be healed. Jesus turned to her and said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” She was instantly healed. On still another occasion, Jesus came walking to his disciples on the water of the sea of Galilee as they strained their oars against a raging storm. They were terrified at the sight of him walking on water. So, Jesus called out to them, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”

I read in the Bible that God is eternal. That is, he is infinite; he exists simultaneously in the past, the present and the future. We read this in Revelation where it says that God was and is and is to come. Notice the conjunction “and”. The phrase implies that God was and is and is to come. That is, he is all 3 conditions at the same time. And we know that God is all-powerful, all-knowing and ever-present. Therefore, whatever you and I face today, our God knows all about it and has the present power to meet our needs. Nothing is beyond the scope of God. Nothing is external to the control of God. And he exists already in the future, where our needs are met.

So, whatever your disappointments of yesterday; whatever your fears of tomorrow or your needs today, take heart, Jesus will get you through.

Colossians 3:2

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

GodTracker devotional books. Yours TODAY

Jesus performed most of his teaching outdoors along the banks of the Lake Tiberias in Galilee. I could imagine him standing on one of the hills sloping down to the lake, pointing at the birds that were foraging in the long grass nearby, saying, “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.” Then he adds, “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.”

Jesus knew what tomorrow would bring him. He knew, as the Suffering Servant, he would be despised and rejected by men; wounded for their transgressions and crushed for their iniquities. As the Son of God, he had spiritual insight into the greatest trial any person could ever face – to bear the wages of sin. Yet we read that, for the joy set before, he endured the cross, despised its shame and is saw himself on the other side of the cross, seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Jesus looked beyond his tomorrow and saw himself victorious.

What are you facing tomorrow? Are you fearful of the unknown? Are you worrying where the next paycheque will come from? Will your health hold out? What about the unforeseen calamities that face us all? If you have concerns like these then Listen: “Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.”

If you know Christ as Lord and Savour, then you are found in him – you are in Christ! In Christ, you are a new creation. In Christ, you are alive to God. In Christ, God will meet all your needs. And in Christ, you are seated with God in heavenly places. All this means that you are safe and secure, in Christ, and God is your provider. He has your tomorrow in his hands. Like the birds of the air, he will meet all your needs. So, don’t worry about tomorrow, just fix your gaze on Jesus and your mind on things above.

God-tracking is being secure in Christ

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

GodTracker 709The e-devotional helping to keep you on track with God’s plans for your life. GodTracker is published at http://godtracker.co.uk

“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

Subscribe Here

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.

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 EXPECTING GOD’S ABUNDANCE WITH A PURE HEART

GodTracker 704The e-devotional helping to keep you on-track with God’s plans for your life
GodTracker is published at godtracker.co.uk

 “There are no half measures in the kingdom of God. He will meet all your needs according to his riches, in Christ. And that, with quality!”

 Philippians 4:19And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

In John chapter 2 we read of the first miracle Jesus performed. He, his family and friends had been invited to a wedding in Cana. According to Jewish custom, the bride was probably still confined to her wedding chamber or huppah. She would remain there for the seven days of the huppah feast. It was probably toward the middle of these seven days of celebration that Jesus’ mother overheard the servants mention that the wine had run out. By her persistence, Mary persuaded Jesus to intervene. Jesus proceeded to convert 816 litres of water into the finest quality wine.
There are several significant truths in this story that have impacted my life, as a God Tracker. I’d like to share two with you today.

1. Vessels of Purification

 The urns that were used to contain the water that Jesus had turned into wine were jars used for Jewish rites of purification. This ritualistic purification symbolized cleansing of the soul. That is, when the Jews washed their hands according to these rites, they were demonstrating an attitude of repentance of sin. Jesus used symbols of cleansing and repentance to produce pleasing good new wine.
Before we can expect a miracle of God’s righteous new, we need to repent of our sinful of old. God desires to turn your old mundane routines into new excellent purposes if you are willing to come to him with clean hands and a pure heart.

1. More Than Enough

The Jews in Jesus’ day would probably celebrate a wedding for seven days or more, which required a good deal of catering. At this wedding, they had run out of wine. So, Jesus produces more than 800 litres of very high-quality wine to meet the need. By his wisdom and grace, he provides with excellence and abundance.
What are you seeking God for today? Do you have a need in your life? Do you feel as though you have run out of steam to face tomorrow? Well, let me say that God is able and willing to meet all your needs, and then some! When Paul the Apostle complained that he had run dry, Jesus told him, “My grace is sufficient for you.” At another time Jesus said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” There are no half measures in the kingdom of God. He will meet all your needs according to his riches, in Christ. And that, with quality.
There is much more in this story. Please read it. Please take it to heart.

“Dear Lord, thank you for that amazing story in the book of John, when you turned water into wine. I see now that you are able and willing to meet all my needs with excellence and abundance. Lord, I come to you in repentance of all that I have said, done or through that has, in any way, grieved your Holy Spirit. I cleanse my hands and my heart in confession and repentance. Now, O Lord, turn my humble water into the most high-quality new wine, for your glory. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS BEING A FAITHFUL AND A CHEERFUL GIVER

GodTracker 693
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

Philippians 4:19

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

“God has promised to meet all our needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus. If you know Jesus as Lord, then you are in Christ Jesus. If you are in Christ Jesus, you are found in the same place as the riches of God!”

Tracking God’s will requires faithfulness in every aspect of life, not withstanding, giving. Historically, the Church has been accused of money-grabbing. This is a shame. Indeed, there were times in Church history where the institution of the Church (protestant and catholic) has demanded money from its adherents. That too, is a shame. However, God’s word makes it plain that giving is fundamental to Christian living. Afterall, God gave Jesus and Jesus gave his life. Therefore, as God-trackers, I believe we need to be faithful in our giving toward the furtherance of God’s kingdom. Jesus promised, “Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” And he who promised is faithful.

By the grace of God, since receiving our first pay cheques, Karen and I have tithed. At times it was tough… very tough! I remember when I was studying for the ministry and had no regular income. I was 30 at the time with 2 small children to care for. Between us, Karen and I had 9 part-time jobs. Our income was low, but we believed it was still necessary to tithe. God was faithful to his promise to meet all our needs.

One Sunday evening, back in South Africa during my days at Bible school, I was at church leading worship while Karen and the kids were at home. My son Ryan, about 5 at the time, loved performing gymnastic feats. That evening he ran into his bedroom and somersaulted onto his bed. His feet promptly crashed through a large window. Thankfully, the curtains were closed so he did not hurt himself. “Ryan, what have you done!” came the cry from his mom. “It’ll take 200 rand to fix that window!” A few minutes later Karen heard Ryan and his sister, Kerryn praying, “Dear Lord, sorry Ry broke the window. Please give mom R200 to fix it.”

After church, while I was packing away my guitar, someone handed me an envelope. “Thanks,” I muttered and promptly popped it into my pocket. When I arrived home and Karen told me what had happened, I remembered envelope in my pocket. Opening it I found ten R20 notes. He who promised was faithful.

God has called us to be cheerful givers. God has promised that if we sow bountifully we will also reap bountifully. You see, God has promised to meet all our needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus. If you know Jesus as Lord, then you are in Christ Jesus. If you are in Christ Jesus, you are found in the same place as the riches of God! So, be faithful in your giving as you seek to track his will for your life.

God-tracking is being a faithful and a cheerful giver.

Today I choose to be faithful and cheerful in my giving as I trust you to be faithful to your promises to meet my needs. Amen.”

 “Parakletos (the Holy Spirit) is always alongside comforting me, even when I’m unaware of his presence.”

 Matthew 5:4“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”

Jamie had recently lost his mother. He missed her greatly. He missed those long chats over a cup of coffee and he missed her faithful affirmation when he did something worth complimenting. Though he has a loving family of his own, Jamie knew life just wouldn’t be the same without his mom. Unfortunately, coincidentally, he was also experiencing a tumultuous time at work, with prospects of losing his job.

“It never rains, but it pours,” Jamie said in a text to a good friend. “I’m feeling so low. Carol has been urging me to be strong, and many folks have been sending me encouraging thoughts, but it feels like water off a duck’s back. I know God is in this, but I feel so distant.”

“Jamie, just keep your eyes on Jesus and stay under the sound of his word,” came the reply from his faithful friend.

Can you relate to Jamie’s story? I can. We all endure loss, hardship and difficulties such as this from time to time. Scripture says, “There is nothing new under the sun.” However, if we acknowledge the Lord in everything – good and bad – he will, nevertheless, direct our paths. Our Lord has promised, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” When I suffer hardships like Jamie’s, I tend to become numb and seemingly unfeeling. But, even though I may feel emotionally dazed, I know that my Lord is ever by my side. Parakletos (the Holy Spirit) is always alongside comforting me, even when I’m unaware of his presence.

Jamie took his friend’s advice. He continued to pray, read his Bible and attend church, even though he did not feel like it. He waited for God to direct his paths according to his will. Soon the haze began to lift. Jamie began to feel the comfort of the Comforter. God’s peace settled in his heart. He overcame his sense of loss, though he continued to miss his mom. Loving memories are priceless. By the grace of God, he was still before the Lord within the conflict at work and was soon vindicated. God was true to his Word and, because Jamie had remained under the sound of Word of God, he was restored.

God-tracking is remaining under God’s Word, quietly resting in the Comforter’s peace.

GOD-TRACKING IS A LIFESTYLE OF PRAISE

GOD-TRACKING IS A LIFESTYLE OF PRAISE

Hebrews 13:15
Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.  

Subscribe by email at godtracker.co.uk

In the Bible we read that God actually indwells the praises of his people. That is to say, the presence of the holy God of all creation is evident when a Believer says, “Praise God!” The very sound of his words carries with it the presence of the Lord.

In his book, Prison to Praise, Merlin Carothers shares how praise is related to prayer. He says that when we praise God for a need met, instead of begging him to answer our prayers, we make a faith leap from simply hoping for an answer to the affirmative certainty of needs met. I believe this is true. You see, the God we serve is eternal. This means that he is not restrained by space and time, as we are. Our Lord is already at the point where our needs are met long before we arrive. Therefore, when we praise God for needs met we are proclaiming the reality of our already answered prayer.

So, dear GodTracker, let’s turn our prayer times into praise times. Let’s make a habit of speaking praises to God at every opportunity. Let’s use words like, praise the Lord, praise God, thank you Jesus and hallelujah as part of our everyday vocabulary. The more we speak out praises to God the more we will experience his presence in our lives. The more we speak out praises to God the more other people will see Jesus in our eyes. So, come into his presence with thanksgiving and live in his courts with praise. Remember, God inhabits the praises of his people.

Praise you for the problems in my life, because through them I shall see the power of God manifest. Lord, help me to live a lifestyle of worship and get into a habit of praise. Amen.”

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.

God-tracking is thanking God for tomorrow’s needs met, today

You are already there with the answers to my prayers

“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.”
