“God’s purposes for you are deliberately and exclusively designed by God to fit only you. You see, with God, one size does not fit all.”


When my children were small, they enjoyed an array of toys from dolls and toy cars to intricate toddlers’ puzzles. I remember one puzzle in particular. It consisted of a sixteen-sided plastic form with various irregularly shaped holes in each side; there was a star shape, a square shape, a triangle shape and so on. With the toy came sixteen irregularly shaped plastic blocks, each corresponding to a different hole. The idea was for the toddler to find the correct shaped block for the appropriate hole and push it through. It was great fun, especially for dad! However, I would often find my little girl or little boy trying very hard to force a round block into a square hole or a star block into a triangular hole. They would try to inject the block into the hole every which way until it finally dawned on them to try a different hole. Eventually with a range of grunts and some whining the correct block would find its way into the correct hole.

 Have you ever felt like a misfit in life? Have you ever tried to do a job or explore a relationship that just did not seem to suit your skills or your character? The popular saying goes: “You’re trying to be a square peg in a round hole.” So many times, I have found myself in situations like this. For instance, when I lived in South Africa back in the 1980s, I remember leaving one job for another. At the time, I worked in the IT industry as a network controller. However, in my quest to find the proverbial greener grass on the other side of the hill, I left one company to join another as a systems programmer. Bad move. I was just not cut out for the job. Apart from the fact that I had minimal systems programming experience, my new company was primarily an Afrikaans speaking company and, dare I say, my command of the language left much to be desired. As it turned out I found myself at loggerheads with management trying to persuade them that I really did know what I was doing… in Afrikaans, no less. Needless to say, I finally resigned and moved back into computer networking, in a new company. You see, I was trying to be a square peg in a round hole.

 Dear GodTracker, as you seek to track God’s plans for life remember that God knows what’s best for you. In fact, he knows everything about you. He knows whether you are a square or a round peg; he knows whether you are a triangle or a star and as long as you continue to acknowledge him and look for his will in all you do, he will fit you into your appropriately shaped hole. Jesus told us to seek first God’s kingdom (that is his modus operandi and his principles in life) and his righteousness then all else will be added to us as well. God loves you so much that he will always provide for and guide you into the appropriately shaped opportunities for your life, provided you put him first.

God-tracking is following God’s exclusive plan for you

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

Help me, Lord, to find your exclusive, deliberate plan for my life

“Dear God, you are my Lord and my guide. I submit my life entirely to your will and purposes. Forgive me for taking my eyes off your holy plans for me and attempting to run my life my way. I have tried to be a square peg in a round hole for too long and have come undone. Help me, Lord, to find your exclusive, deliberate plan for my life. Help me to find the right hole to slot into, that my family and I will be blessed, protected and provided for; that I may please you by fulfilling your call upon my life. To your glory, I pray. Amen.”

IF YOU ARE READING THIS ARTICLE TODAY, WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. PLEASE SIMPLY EMAIL dudley@godtracker.co.uk WITH THE WORDS, “Reading GodTracker” IN THE SUBJECT LINE. 
GOD-TRACKING IS A TRIANGULAR RELATIONSHIP
1 Peter 4:8
Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins
I always say that I live in a love triangle. In fact, it was at my wedding that the minister who married my wife and me, encouraged us to seek a three-part marriage. He said, “Unless your marriage has three people in it, it will become shaky and have every probability of failure.” Of course, he was encouraging Karen and me to include Christ as the third person in our marriage. Thankfully, we took his advice.
For more than 3 decades, Karen and I have enjoyed each other greatly. We are very much still in love but, as with any normal marriage, ours has endured many storms. There was a time, many years ago, when divorce knocked at our door. I’d given up my job to study for the ministry, which left Karen as the main breadwinner. With two young children and role reversal in the marriage, together with the pressures of full-time
study and financial difficulties, I took my eyes off Jesus and flagged in my devotion to my wife. However, since we had included God as the third person of our relationship, he graciously intervened, convicting me of my wrong attitude and softening Karen’s heart. I’m thrilled to say that our marriage not only survived but has flourished, since.
Every Christian relationship should be a three-part relationship. God-tracking requires that we acknowledge God in all our ways, not least of all, in our relationships. I have discovered that this love triangle is imperative to my marriage: Karen, Dudley and God Almighty. Any triangle comprises 3 sides. However, the most important side of any triangle is its base. Without the base in place, the 2 sides would float about and eventually collapse.
Jesus said, “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” The Word of God and the intimate fellowship of the Holy Spirit need to form the base of any love triangle.
God-tracking is a triangular relationship.
READ ALL ABOUT IT
Proverbs 3:6Matthew 7:24-27

Dear Lord, I commit my fight to you. Help me to have grace and strength to stand against my enemy
“Dear God, forgive me for not including you in all my relationships. I choose now to acknowledge you in every relationship I have with friends, colleagues and family. I confess your lordship over my most intimate relationship, and confess you as the base of my love triangle. Help us to always seek first your kingdom principles and your righteousness in ever choice we make. Help us to always seek your Word and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit in our relationship and so build our love-house on the Rock. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS DISCOVERING GOD’S PURPOSES TO MAKE YOU AN AMBASSADOR OF RECONCILIATION

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS DISCOVERING GOD’S PURPOSES TO MAKE YOU AN AMBASSADOR OF RECONCILIATION

2 Corinthians 5:18
All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.

Author and Bible teacher, Rick Warren said, “The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfilment, your peace of mind or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.” God’s Word says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” It also says, “In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” And this is exactly what God-tracking is all about.

I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour at the age of 9. My brother, who is 6 years older than me, took me to a church that was aptly named, The Miracle Centre. Here I witnessed many miracles of God from legs growing to testimonies of the healing of cancer. The best miracles of all, however, were the many people who discovered the grace of God through the work of Jesus. It was here that I heard that the story of Jesus dying on the cross for the sins of the world was more than a Children’s Bible story – it was true fact! There is a real man called, Jesus who is sinless in every way, and he yet took the consequences of my sin upon himself when he died; for the wages of sin is death. But this Jesus (who is the Son of God) did not stay dead, he rose again. Because Jesus isn’t guilty of sin meant, death could not keep him down! It was at The Miracle Centre that I learned how God reconciled me to himself through the greatest miracle of all – the resurrection of Jesus! And he did it for me.

From that age till now I have been discovering that Jesus did indeed die and rise again to set me free from sin, but this fact has a purpose for me on earth. I’ve discovered the reason God has reconciled me to himself through Christ is for me to walk with him by faith, discovering his plans and purposes for my life. As the Scripture says, “He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who, for their sake, died and was raised.” You see, God reconciled us to himself through Christ so that we might all have the ministry of reconciliation. What purpose!

This ministry can take on many shapes from preaching the gospel to thousands, to sharing the love of Jesus with one close friend. It is God’s will for us to discover his plans for us so that we may fit that purpose. To discover God’s plans and purposes I encourage you to seek first his Kingdom and goodness. Tracking God’s will for you involves acknowledge him in all your ways: your relationships, your family, your career and your wildest dreams and ambitions. Then walk in God’s will by faith, trusting him with all your heart and not leaning on your own understanding. Indeed, discovering your real purpose in life begins with God.

God-tracking is discovering God’s purposes to make you an ambassador of reconciliation

Every blessing

Dudley

Today, O Lord, I confess that my purpose in life begins with God

Pray
“O Lord Jesus, thank you for dying for my sins to reconcile me to God. Thank you that you did not stay dead but rose again to make a way for me to enter new life in God. Today I commit my life to you; I acknowledge you in each and every part of my life and seek first your Kingdom purposes for my future. I receive the ministry you have given me (as you have every believer) to be a reconciler – sharing the Good News of Jesus with those around me. Help me to make the most of every opportunity and to walk exclusively according to you plans for my life. Today, O Lord, I confess that my purpose in life begins with God. Amen."

GOD-TRACKING IS MAKING A HABIT OF CHATTING WITH JESUS

Dear God-tracker
 
God-tracking is making a habit of chatting with Jesus 
 
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
 
“Got to get dressed warm today, Lord.” Allen chatted with Jesus as he pulled on an overcoat. “It’s blowing crazy out there. But thank you for today, anyway. It’s always good to know you’re with me every day.” Allen had lost his wife about 25 years back and lived alone in his small home. One thing he’d come to realise, in his latter days, was the fact that, even though he lived on his own he was never alone. His Lord and God – his Friend – was with him, always. Making his way to the door Allen said, “You know Lord, it seems like I’m the one doing all the talking here, but that’s only because I use words. I know you answer me all the time. You chat with me through your comfort, peace and answered prayers… and the Bible, of course! Thank you for always being there for me.”
 
Prayer is a very awesome privilege – a mystery, even. How my little words may move the hand of Creator is still beyond me. Perhaps it’s because this God we worship is a God of grace and love. In fact, the Bible tells us that God is love. As the personification of love, Jesus died for us on the cross and rose again that we could be reconciled to God. I think it’s this characteristic of God we notice in the beginning when God walked with Adam in the cool of the day. Creator loved his creation and desired to fellowship with him. Perhaps this is what is meant by the words we read in the Bible, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” 
 
Father God loves you so much, dear God-tracker. He desires your company every second of every day. He is your Friend and Confidant; Holy Spirit is your Counsellor and Helper. Allen may have lost his wife but he would never lose his Companion. He discovered that, just as he could chat with his wife about everything from normal daily routine to the great needs of men, so he could chat with Jesus. And Jesus chatted back with Allen through the Holy Spirit in his thoughts, through a sense of his presence and through answered prayer; and not forgetting through the Bible. So too, you and I can develop a close intimacy with the Almighty God if we are willing to simply make a habit of chatting with Jesus!

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!
 
Help me to sense you nearness and feel your companionship
 
Pray
 
 “Dear Lord, thank you that I can chat with you every day. Thank that you will never leave me nor forsake me. I acknowledge you in every activity of my day and seek your sweet presence as I track your plans and purposes. Help me to sense you nearness and feel your companionship. I praise you for answered prayer and for how the Bible always speaks to me of your grace and love. I commit all my daily routines to you and seek your blessing on everything I set my hand to do. Thank you for being my Companion. Thank you for being my Counsellor. I love you, Lord. Amen.”
