So, trust the plans of God without relying on your own insight. He who promised is faithful, and he will do it. And that’s what God-tracking is all about.”

1 Thessalonians 5:24
He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

GodTracker is founded on the principle of seeking and tracking the plans of God. It is based on the Scripture that tells us that God knows the plans he has for us, plans for a future filled with hope and purpose. Every Christian believer has a personal relationship with God through Jesus. This is why we call him our personal Lord and Saviour. Through the intimate fellowship of the Holy Spirit, we can enjoy walking in God’s personal plans for our lives. Be encouraged to seek God’s purposes alone. It’s when we venture to make our own plans that we deviate from the holy and blessed purposes of God.

Abraham had a God-given purpose. God had called him from his home to settle in a faraway land called Canaan. God gave Abraham a promise saying, “I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.” Though Abraham was over 90 years old and his wife was barren, God promised him that he would become a dad. God knew the plans he had for Abraham, plans for a future filled with hope and purpose.

However, since his wife, Sarah, was barren and old, Abraham became impatient and made his own plan to fulfil God’s purpose. Thus, Ishmael was born of Sarah’s maidservant (a custom acceptable in those days). Later, God fulfilled his promise to Abraham when Sarah became pregnant with Isaac. Sadly, because Abraham pre-empted the purpose of God by making his own plans, the descendants of Ishmael became enemies of the descendants of Isaac.

Be encouraged to always trust the plans that God knows he has for you. Acknowledge the Lord in all your ways and refuse to make your own plans to fulfil God’s purposes. As we see in Abraham’s case, the plans of man will always be in opposition to the plans of God. So, trust the plans of God without relying on your own insight. He who promised is faithful and he will do it. And that’s what God-tracking is all about.

God-tracking is trusting the plans and purposes of God.

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

“You are faithful, Lord, and I believe your plans will work out for my future filled with hope and purpose.”

“Dear Lord, I know and believe that you have glorious plans for my life. I confess Jesus to be my personal Lord and Saviour and therefore, trust that the plans you have for me are personal and for my good. Forgive me for making my own plans or pre-empting your plans by jumping to conclusions. I acknowledge you, O Lord, in all my ways and trust you to fulfil your purposes in my life according to your plans and not mine. You are faithful, Lord, and I believe your plans will work out for my future filled with hope and purpose. Amen.”

It is imperative that we lead our children to the place where they will acknowledge Jesus for themselves and begin trekking their own God-track by personalised faith.”

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

According to an article in Focus on the Family Bulletin, December 1988 a study of the top traits of  successful families revealed certain criteria for a successful family. These included the likes of good communication, affirmation, respect, tradition and faith. These are all positive and motivational criteria. In developing a wholesome family life, it is essential to communicate well, offer respect and share responsibilities. However, of all these, I believe the core criterion for a successful family is sharing a religious faith. In my opinion, the only substantial religious faith is faith in the Most High God through Jesus Christ his Son.

God loved families so much that he gave his One and only righteous Son to be a sin offering on their behalf that, if they believe in him, they may not perish and know the promise of eternal life. We are saved by God’s grace (his sending Jesus to die for our sins) and our faith in his grace.

Faith is essential for a successful family life. The children discover faith through their parents’ examples and teaching. However, no child will know salvation until they discover their own faith. No one can get to heaven on borrowed faith.

While young, a child is covered by his parents’ faith but as he approaches the age of understanding he will need to discover faith for himself. Therefore, as parents, it is essential that we teach our children the word of God, for faith comes from hearing God’s word. It is essential, too, that we exemplify faith to our kids. However, it is imperative that we lead our children to the place where they will acknowledge Jesus for themselves and begin trekking their own God-track by personalised faith.

God-tracking is leading our children in faith.

“I pray that they will grow in their faith and come to a place where they, too, will be an example of faith to their little ones.”

“Dear God, thank you that you sent Jesus to die for our sins. I acknowledge Jesus as my personal Lord and Saviour. My faith is in you. As a parent, help me to exemplify faith to my children. I pray for them that they will discover their own personal walk of faith. I pray that they will explore the goodness of God through answered prayer. I pray that they will grow in their faith and come to a place where they, too, will be an example of faith to their little ones. Amen.”

It's All About Jesus

“Our God is awesome in power; he is mighty in his splendour and holiness. He is the reason we exist.”

Colossians 3:2
Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

I have been writing the email devotional GodTracker for more than 19 years. What a privilege to share some thoughts of inspiration and motivation to help us seek and track the plans of God for our lives. God’s plans are promising, full of purpose and a blessing. Sometimes, however, we become so consumed with following God’s auspicious plans for our lives that we take our eyes off the Planner.

Watching social media and listening to the myriad teachings, comments and posts we’re bombarded with every day, I’m becoming more and more aware that much is being said about how we are to behave and live as Christians. We’re encouraged to preach the gospel, heal the sick, love our neighbour, seek happiness and peace. We’re instructed how to sing and worship, how to preach, how to serve the poor and how to stand up for righteousness. Don’t get me wrong, these are all excellent concepts, sure and true. Indeed, we need to know how to live and behave as followers of Christ. However, I haven’t seen many posts lately about the simplicity of simply seeking the face of Jesus and discovering the tremendous character of God; seeking his presence and simply seeking God for who he is.

May we fix our eyes only on Jesus. Let’s be mindful of Father God, setting our minds on things above, where Jesus is enthroned at God’s right hand. Our God is awesome in power; he is mighty in his splendour and holiness. He is the reason we exist. His love was demonstrated to us through the cross of Christ. Jesus, God incarnate, holy and pure, bore our sins when he died at Calvary. When he rose from the dead, he opened the way for you and me to boldly approach the majesty of God Almighty, in love and worship.

So, let us put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created us and purposefully seek his imminent presence in our lives, above all else. May we live for his glory, seeking first his kingdom and his righteousness.

God-tracking is all about Jesus.

Jesus, you’re everything to me!

“Dear God, I am sorry for becoming more consumed about the process of Christian living than with the face of the One for whom I live. I take my eyes off the ways of man and the ways of how to worship to simply worship you in truth, and spirit. Help me to seek your face. Help me to live for nothing else but your glory. Jesus, you’re everything to me! Amen.”
