“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.

“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.”

“God’s word to you today is to step away, step back and allow God to fulfil the plans that he knows he has for you. His promises are always yes in Jesus.”

Matthew 6:10
Your kingdom come. Your will be done.

Sarai was a beautiful woman. She was married to an influential man. Abram had migrated with his family and company many miles across arid desert regions and had taken up residence in a new land. Before leaving, God, who he had not before known, appeared to him and gave him a promise that he would be the father of nations. He was confused at this promise since his lovely wife, Sarai, was unable to have children. Yet Abram believed the Lord God Almighty who had revealed himself to him.

Many years later, well past the age of childbearing, God sent angels to Abram, now called Abraham, to reaffirm his promise. When Sarai, now called Sarah, heard the angels, she laughed because she knew how impossible it would be for her to have a baby. But her husband continued to believe in God’s promise. Abraham was the father of faith.

More time passed. Abraham and his lovely wife were now very old. Desperate to realise God’s promise, Sarah made a plan. She suggested Abraham sleep with her maidservant to produce offspring for her (a custom common at that time). Abraham was convinced. And so, Ishmael was born. By their own plan, they filled God’s promise, or so they thought. But God is always true to his word. Abraham was nearly100-years old when Sarah gave birth to the promised child. They named him Isaac, which means laughter because they were delighted by God’s humour to grant them a child at such an age.

We know the story well, how Isaac was the father of the Jewish nation of which Jesus, the Messiah, was born. God’s plan was not only for Abraham to be blessed and realise God’s promises, but for you and me, today in the 21st century, to realise the promise of God to bless the world through the offspring of Abraham.

Whose plan will you follow? God has made his will clear to you. You know that he has great plans for you – plans for peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. And yet, as I do and Abraham did, you have made your own plans to fulfil God’s promises. God’s word to you today is to step away, step back and allow God to fulfil the plans that he knows he has for you. His promises are always yes in Jesus.

God-tracking is following God’s plans, not your own.

“Dear Lord, forgive me for making my own plans instead of waiting for you to fulfil your plans in my life. I know you have a plan and a purpose for me to serve you and be an influence in my world, as Abraham was in his. So, today, I step away from my own designs and choose to put my faith in your will, however long it may take to come to fruition. Your will be done in my life. Amen.”

“Step into that river in faith that the Lord will part its waters for you, so you can possess that land called Promise.”

Joshua 1:9“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Books by Dudley Anderson

I could imagine Joshua standing on the east bank of the Jordan River, gazing across its flooding waters at the land called Promise. Perhaps Caleb stood beside him. “What was it that Moses said, Caleb… ‘you shall go with this people into the land that the Lord has sworn to their fathers, and you shall put them in possession of it’? But why me?”

“Because you are young and you are a man of faith,” replied Caleb. “Remember, forty years ago, when we came back from spying out the land with the other 10 spies? They were all quaking in their boots, but you and I believed we could take this land. We had faith then. Have faith now, my friend. I am too old to lead these people. God has chosen you. So, ‘Be strong and courageous. The Lord goes before you. He will not leave you or forsake you.’ These were God’s words through Moses. Hold on to them in faith, and step across this river. Unless you take that step, all Israel will remain in the wilderness.”

Dear GodTracker, you may be waiting for God to bring something new your way.  Often, he does graciously drop opportunities into our laps, but most times, like with Joshua, he tells us to step out in faith and trust him to come through for us. There could be a prospect of new land facing you right now and you’re wondering what to do about it. Well, what has the Lord said to you about this new opportunity? Do you believe it’s from him? If so, then go get it! Faith pleases God and he rewards those who live by faith. God does not respond to our wishes or dreams; he responds to active faith. Step into that river in faith that the Lord will part its waters for you, so you can possess that land called Promise.

So Joshua instructed the officers of the people, “Pass through the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.’”

Make provision for all I’ll need to possess this opportunity and make the most of it

“Dear Lord, I believe I am faced with a great opportunity. I believe you have presented me with this prospect therefore, I believe you will make a way across this river for me to possess your promises. Help me to step out in faith. Give me wisdom and instruction that I may know what your will is for me. Prepare me for the unknown (Lord with you, all things are known). Make provision for all I’ll need to possess this opportunity and make the most of it. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS KNOWING WHO YOU ARE, IN CHRIST

John 15:7

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

“If you are in Christ then choose to remain there by allowing his word to take up residence in you. Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you.”

Jesus gave us an incredible analogy of how we are connected to him. He said that he is like a grapevine and we are like its branches, while Father God is the vine keeper. By this he was implying that he is like the main stem of the plant while we are the branches that grow from the stem. In other words, Christ is the source of sustenance and nutrition in order that we will bear good fruit. Jesus also went on to say that any branch that does not bear fruit will be pruned away from the vine by the vine keeper. He added, if we remain in him (attached to the vine) and his words remain in us (as our sustenance and nutrition) then we will bear much fruit. Therefore, as Christians, we need to know our place, in the vine – our place in Christ.

The scriptures are packed with thoughts about being in Christ. For instance: we are justified by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ; we are dead to sin and alive to God in Christ; nothing in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ; if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; God will supply our every according to his riches in glory in Christ and God has raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ.

Are you in Christ? Have you admitted to the fact that sin has separated you from the true Vine and that, by confession and repentance, God is able to forgive you and cleanse you so that you can be grafted into that Vine? Do you confess Jesus as your personal Lord and believe that he died and rose again? If you have done this then you are found in Christ! If you are found in Christ then allow the Holy Spirit to prune away the dead fruitless wood so that you may bear new magnificent fruit, to his glory. If you believe you are found in Christ, then choose to remain there by allowing his word to take up residence in you. Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you.

If you are in Christ and his word abides in you, then you can expect great things from your great God.

God-tracking is knowing who you are, in Christ

So, I thank you for the myriad blessings and promises of being in Christ, for all of your promises are yes and amen, in him

“Dear Lord God and Father – O great Vine Keeper – thank you for this analogy of Jesus as the vine and me as one of its branches. I sincerely believe that Jesus died and rose again, and I confess him to be my personal Lord and Saviour. Therefore, I believe that, by your grace, I am found in Christ, like a branch found in the stem of its vine. I open my heart and mind to your word. Quicken that word to me by the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Dear Father, prune away all my dead wood, that I may bear new fresh fruit, to your glory. I thank you for the myriad blessings and promises I enjoy by being in Christ. For all of your promises are yes and amen, in him. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS LETTING GOD DO WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO

 Jeremiah 1:12The LORD said to me, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled."

 “Dear God Tracker, the Lord himself is watching over his Word in your life to safeguard his purposes for you… So, resist the urge of speaking on God’s behalf or trying to feebly bring his promises to fruition by your might. Only God can fulfil his own Word to you.”

David’s men had just returned from striking the Philistines at Gezer. The Lord had helped him in this mighty and victorious campaign against the enemy and David was pleased. To celebrate and give thanks to God, he calls for the Ark of the Covenant to be brought from the house of Abinadab. So Abinadab and his sons, Uzzah and Ahio load it up on a cart and set off. On the way the oxen pulling the cart stumbled and the Ark begins to fall to the ground. Uzzah makes a grab for it to steady it but in the process forgets the command of God that no one could touch the Ark and live. Instantly he is struck down and dies. Sadly, in their familiarity with the things of God, Abinadab and his sons had become complacent with his commands.

You may think it unfair that Uzzah died just because he tried to protect the Ark of the Covenant? Surely it would have fallen to the ground and shattered into pieces… or would it have? You see, God had given his Word and had commanded Moses to prevent anyone from touching the Ark, because of its holiness. This was the same God who, by his Word, had commanded the universe into being. When God speaks no man could can add to his Word. When God speaks no man could can detract from his Word. God is very capable of watching over his word to fulfil it. If this is true then, even if the Ark had fallen, it would have been safe. The Ark contained the 10 Commandments and, in his flippancy, Uzzah paid the price for assuming he could watch over God’s Word to safeguard it.

Dear God Tracker, the Lord himself is watching over his Word in your life to safeguard his purposes for you. He does have a plan for you; a plan to prosper and not to harm you. There is hope for the situation you face today. If you seek the Lord with all your heart you will find his plans to restore your fortunes and give you a future. His Word has promised health to your flesh and peace to your soul. God’s Word to you today is to trust in him and walk in his ways without you trying to fulfil his promises. Scripture says that just as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not evaporate back to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so is his Word that goes out from his mouth: It will not return to him empty, but will accomplish what he desires and achieve the purpose for which he sent it. You see, God is more than capable of accomplishing all his plans and purposes for you with success and blessing. So, resist the urge of speaking on God’s behalf or trying to feebly bring his promises to fruition by your might. Only God can fulfil his own Word to you.

God-tracking is letting God do what he says he will do

 READ ALL ABOUT IT1 Chronicles 13:5-14Isaiah 55:10-11

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY 

I am sorry for taking you for granted and for becoming flippant about your Word to me

“Thank you O my Lord, for all your promises to me. Thank you that you have given me your Word that you will direct my purposes accordingly, as I continue to acknowledge you in all I do. Thank you that you will meet all my needs according to your riches in Christ and provide me with peace from my anxieties as I pray with thanksgiving. Thank you for my health, for the people who love me and for the hope of a blessed future. I am sorry for taking you for granted and for becoming flippant about your Word to me. Today I realise that you are very able to watch over your Word and your purposes in my life far, far better than I could ever do. I put my faith in you. Vindicate the truth in me. Praise you Father that your promises are always yes, in Jesus. Amen!”
