Helping people to die prematurely denies them the opportunity to hear the message of abundant life and the promise of eternal life.”

John 10:10
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.

Euthanasia, or assisted dying, is now legal in many countries and still under constant debate in those where it is not yet legalised. Assisted dying is no more than aided suicide. Suicide is one of the most dreadful dilemmas in our society. We do all we can to assist people to not take their own lives, why are we now intent on passing laws to assist people to take their own lives? It makes no sense.

Life is not just a privilege, it is sacred. It is written, “I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you, life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore, choose life.” God is the source of all life. He created your life in the womb and he will sustain your life until the tomb. Scripture makes it clear that God commands us not to kill. Suicide, as with assisted dying, is nothing more than taking a human life, for whatever apparently justifiable reason.

I understand that it is a tremendous tragedy watching a loved one suffer from a terminal diagnosis. But, as Christian believers, we know that God is the author of life. Only he has the prerogative to end life. Helping people to die prematurely denies them the hope of healing, medically or miraculously. Helping people to die prematurely denies them the opportunity to hear the message of abundant life and the promise of eternal life.

Jesus is the giver of life. He said that the thief comes to kill but that he came to give abundant life. Abundant life is the promise of life eternal. God loved the world so much that he sent his only begotten so that whoever believes in him will have eternal life. However, in my book, life only after death is only partial life, not abundant life. Abundant eternal life starts now. Your abundant life began the moment you invited Jesus to be your Lord and surrendered your life to him. He is your life; he is your hope and he is your healing. With God, nothing is impossible. So, let’s hold onto life and not pre-empt the will of God by assisting suicide.

God-tracking is choosing life.

“In you, we hope. Today we choose life.”

“Dear God, I pray for all those dear people today who face a terminal diagnosis. I pray for hope and healing. You are the Lord who heals. Our lives are in your hands. I pray that your peace and hope will rest upon those whose loved ones are suffering today. I pray that your word and truth will prevail in their lives and that they will trust you will all their hearts and lean not on their own understanding. In you, we hope. Today we choose life. Amen.”

GOD TRACKING IS PRAYING WITH YOUR EYES ON JESUS AND NOT YOUR PROBLEM

GodTracker 670The 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

 Hebrews 12:2-3Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

“No matter what the devil throws at you; no matter how circumstances may bend in the process, know that your God is faithful, and he is quick to deliver you.”

My blood ran cold as my wife relayed the message to me that she’d just received from my daughter-in-law, “Ruben has been rushed to hospital with a temperature in excess of 39 degrees Celsius!” Our first grandson had taken our lives by storm; I wasn’t going to sit back and allow the devil to take his life from him. Karen and I rushed to the hospital and, together with my son and his wife we laid hands on his little body, claiming God’s healing Word. At that moment I just knew Ruben would be alright. However, the next day when we arrived to visit him, we found his parents outside the ward, in tears. Little Ruben had deteriorated through the night and at one point, stopped breathing. Medics resuscitated him and then rushed him to intensive care. Yet, with hundreds of people praying for him around the world, I just knew he would be alright.

After only 24 hours in ICU Ruben was discharged back to his ward. Several tests were done but the doctors found nothing wrong with him! A day later he was home. By God’s grace and comfort, the family had pressed in and taken God at his Word.

Oswald Chambers said, “We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.” Could be you’re facing a crisis right now, as my family did that time. Let me encourage you to not look at your problem when you pray but look through it with your eyes set on Christ. God’s word is jam-packed with promise and hope. Receive his word and walk in the hope it offers. You see, the Lord is already on the other side of your difficulty making way for you to get there. No matter what the devil throws at you; no matter how circumstances may bend in the process, know that your God is faithful, and he is quick to deliver you.

 I fix my eyes on Jesus and not my problem by presenting my prayer to you with thanksgiving

 “Dear Lord, I just feel as though I can’t go on any more. It seems as though this problem has consumed me. But dear Lord I know that you know what I’m going through today. Help me to hold on to your promises and the hope your words offer me. Help me to track your path until I eventually get to the other side of my worries. I cast my anxieties on you right now! Lord forgive me for my doubts. I thank you that you will meet my need and help me get over this mountain. I fix my eyes on Jesus and not my problem by presenting my prayer to you with thanksgiving, O God. Thank you for answering my call. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS PUTTING YOUR CONFIDENCE IN GOD AND REFUSING TO GIVE UP!

1 Thessalonians 5:24
He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.

My little grandson lay on a small bed in the ICU of the children’s hospital. Pipes and cables coming from his little body, this tiny 3-week-old was connected to machines that both monitored his vital signs and sustained his life. A few days prior Ruben was rushed to hospital, gravely ill. Convulsing violently, the doctors tried to reduce his body temperature, to no avail. His little body was trembling, but not a sound came from his mouth. Suddenly my wife and I and Ruben’s parents were hastily ushered out of the small cubical, as an emergency team rushed in with resuscitation equipment. Ruben had stopped breathing. My son and his wife held each other, sobbing. Karen and I stood by a window gazing at the children’s play area outside. “Dear God, we rebuke this illness. We rebuke this death. You are the Lord our healer. Your word has instructed us to lay hands on the sick; this we’ve done. We claim Ruben’s life and healing, in Jesus’ name!”

From the start of his illness, we prayed for Ruben’s healing. The scriptures tell us that God is our healer. The Bible says that if we lay hands on the sick, they will recover. It also says that a prayer of faith shall make the sick person well. Well, Karen and I and Ruben’s parents were praying that prayer of faith. We stood on God’s Word without wavering.

Ruben was resuscitated and subsequently rushed off to the Intensive Care Unit at a children’s hospital in another town. I could tell the doctors were very concerned for him. The ICU staff were set in for the long hall in caring for little Ruben. But we had prayed! Twenty-four hours after he was admitted to ICU my grandson opened his eyes. A few days later he was on his way home. Our God is the Lord who heals!

Faith outs its confidence in the other. When one climbs aboard an aeroplane one does not have faith in his own skills to fly the craft but places his complete confidence in the one he cannot see, he who is both skilled and willing to raise him together with a couple of hundred other people, 33 thousand feet above the ground and then land them safely again at their destination. As Corrie Ten Boom said, “Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable and receives the impossible.” Faith in God is confidence in his power and willingness to meet our needs, heal our sick and guide our every footstep along our life’s track.

Whatever obstacle you’re facing today; whatever your need, be it healing, provision or guidance, stand on God’s Word without wavering. He is faithful and he will do it!

God-tracking is putting your confidence in God and refusing to give up!

Every blessing

Dudley

Pray
“Oh, Father God, I believe your Word says that you are my healer. I believe your Word says that you will meet my needs according to your glorious riches, in Christ. Today I stand before you – in Christ – and place my confidence in you, alone. I do not place my confidence in myself or other people. My confidence is in your power and willingness to bring healing and provision to every part of my life and the lives of my loved ones. You are the Lord my healer! You are the Lord my provider! You are the Lord my guide! You are faithful and you will do it. Thank you, God my Father. Amen.”
