“True response to the call of God unto salvation, by his foreknowledge, requires that we make the choice to change out of our attire of sin and dress up in Christ’s righteousness.”

Romans 13:14

Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

Jesus taught in a parable that the gospel is free to all who would respond to it. Sadly, however, not everyone who is invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb, responds to the invitation. In the parable, Jesus implies that those who are nominal believers ignore the true call to salvation, because they think they are privileged. Then he implies that those who are outside the fence of faith, readily respond to the call of salvation, because they have nothing to prove. By this I see that true faith in Christ is not as a result of privileged birth or religious upbringing; it is as a result of sincere a humble response to the call to repentance.

However, even of those who respond to the invitation to attend the wedding feast, some are refused entry. Much has been debated about choice, predestination and election in response to the gospel. I believe the key to this debate is found in the word, foreknow. Those whom God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son. You see, God is eternal and omniscient. He knows all things, past, present and future. Therefore, by God’s foreknowledge if you respond to the gospel by your choice today, you are saved. He knows who will and who won’t respond to the gospel, but we don’t. Therefore, by God’s grace, we have the option to choose. Faith comes by hearing the gospel. One can only make a choice on what he hears. Yet, what of those who are refused entry?

In this parable, Jesus said that there was one guest at the wedding feast who was not dressed for the occasion. He was repelled by the Master because he had taken undue advantage to call himself a wedding feast guest without true compliance. He was a fraud; an imposter. Sadly, the Church is packed with imposters.

Listen to God’s word: “Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ.” I don’t know about you but when I get dressed up to attend a wedding feast, it’s a major ordeal. You see, I don’t often wear ties and it takes me ages to decide which one to put on. Yet, after a hard day’s work, I have a bath, remove my old work clothes and get smartly dressed for the occasion. The Scripture says: “For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”

True response to the call of God unto salvation, by his foreknowledge, requires that we make the choice to change out of our attire of sin and dress up in Christ’s righteousness. True response to the call of God unto salvation requires that we heed the call to repent and be baptised and live the new life by faith in Jesus as new creations.

God-tracking is choosing to put on Christ.

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

Forgive me for ever taking advantage of simply being a churchgoer or nominal Christian, without making a cognitive choice to surrender my life to you

“Dear God, I desire to make a real and truthful choice today to accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ. I know and understand that he died in my place – he was dressed in my filth garments so that I could be dressed in his righteous robes. I repent of all my sin and acknowledge Jesus as my personal Lord and Saviour. Forgive me for ever taking advantage of simply being a churchgoer or nominal Christian, without making a cognitive choice to surrender my life to you. I boldly and affirmatively believe that Jesus died for me and rose from the dead to pay the ransom for my sins. And I boldly and affirmatively confess you as my Lord and put on Christ. Amen.”

IF YOU PRAYED THAT WITH ME TODAY, I WOULD DEARLY LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. PLEASE E-MAIL ME, dudley@godtracker.co.uk

GOD-TRACKING IS ABOUNDING IN HIS PREDESTINED PURPOSES, IN REPENTANCE

Ephesians 1:11
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will

God-tracking is all about seeking and following the purposes of God. One of the key verses for this thought is found in Jeremiah chapter 29. Verse 11 tells us that God knows the plans he has for us and verse 13 says, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” To me, this confirms that God has foreknowledge of our lives. He is omniscient, that is, he knows all things. Yet, we must seek his will.

Jesus and his disciples had just finished eating the Passover. Judas had already left to follow-through with his scheme to betray Jesus. As they prepared to walk to the Mount of Olives Peter boldly tells Jesus that he would die for him. Perhaps Jesus took Peter by the arm and looked him in the eye. “I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.” Later that night after Jesus had been arrested and taken to the High Priest’s home, when confronted, Peter denied his Lord, three times. When he realised what he’d done, Simon went out into the cold night and wept bitterly.

This sad story reveals how Jesus knew, beforehand, that Peter would deny him. Yes, God even knows when and how I will sin. In his foreknowledge, the Lord’s plan was to deal with our sin. Later, after Jesus had risen from the dead, he graciously forgave and reinstated Simon Peter, who becomes the first great leader of his Church.

You can never disappoint God. He knows everything about you, even your shortfalls. However, this gives you and me no licence to sin! But, when we do sin, we need to hastily admit to our sin, in repentance. If we confess our sin, he is faithful and just (justice was done at Calvary) to forgive us and cleanse us from all sin. In his foreknowledge, God has forgiven you. In his foreknowledge, God has blessed you in Christ with every spiritual blessing. In his foreknowledge, God has predestined you for great things according to the purposes of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will.

God-tracking is abounding in his predestined purposes, in repentance

READ ALL ABOUT ITLuke 22:31-34, 54-62, John 21:15-171 John 1:8-9Ephesians 1:3-14


I claim the promises of your Word…every spiritual blessing to fulfil your great purposes in me according to the counsel of your will

“Heavenly God, I realise that you know all things about me. You know my coming and going; you know my ups and downs and you know my rights and my wrongs. Dear Lord, I confess my sin – I admit to my wrongs – in repentance. Though I know that you knew I would sin, yet I seek your forgiveness and turn my back on all I’ve done that has grieved you. I claim the promises of your Word; promises that you will bless me with every spiritual blessing and fulfil your great purposes in me according to the counsel of your will. Amen!”

GOD-TRACKING IS ACKNOWLEDGING GOD’S FOREKNOWLEDGE OF YOU

Dear God-tracker

2 Corinthians 5:7
…for we walk by faith, not by sight.

GOD-TRACKING IS ACKNOWLEDGING GOD’S FOREKNOWLEDGE OF YOU

“What will be, will be,” said Jess lifting her cappuccino to her lips. Hannah waited for her to take a sip before continuing. “I’m sure Pete and I will be happy after we’re married, but who knows what the future holds? We’ll take one day at a time and let fate do the rest.” In her heart Hannah knew the answer to Jess’ dilemma in facing the unknown lay in acknowledging God but sadly, her friend had closed her heart to the hope of walking by faith in God’s plans for her future.

The Scripture tells us that those whom God foreknew, he predestined to be conformed to his purposes and that all things will work out for the good of those who are called according to his purposes. The sad reality of human life is, of all the animal kingdom, we are the most concerned about tomorrow. But Jesus said, “Do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow has enough worries of its own.” The Scripture also calls us to walk by faith. Herein is the key: faith.

It’s my belief God is above and beyond our concept of time. That is, he encompasses time. We read that God was and God is and God is to come. God is past, present and future all at the same time! If God is eternal then he is infinite and infinity is timeless. Predestination is wrapped up in this thought: God has knowledge of you and foreknowledge of your eternity. Therefore, God is already in your tomorrow meeting your needs and planning your life’s track. He has called you by name; you are his! He has a path predestined for you; a path for your eternal salvation as well as your temporal life on earth. If you acknowledge him in all your ways, he will direct you according to this path he has planned for you. That’s what God-tracking is all about. So, in confidence I say, acknowledge God and all thigs will work out for your good and for his glory.

Don’t live by fate; live by faith!

God-tracking is acknowledging God’s foreknowledge of you

Keep your eyes on Jesus

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!

Even I though still I need to make choices and plan my future, help me rest in your predestination
Pray
“Sovereign Lord, I confess, from where I stand, I cannot see into tomorrow. But I know you can – you’re there already and have planned my path for me. I believe that fate has nothing to do with the reality of my life. My life, as I acknowledge you, is determined by your purposes for me on earth and beyond to eternity. Therefore, O Lord, I choose to continue to acknowledge you in all my ways and trust you to direct my paths according to your foreknowledge of my tomorrow. Help me to walk by faith and not by what I can see in the natural. Even I though still I need to make life choices and plan my future, help me rest in your destiny for my life and plan according to your will. I’m yours, Jesus! Amen.”
