Dear God Tracker

God-Tracking Is Keeping No Record of Wrongs

I know we could all share bad-boss stories and how we’ve been hard done by, by our employers. But I once worked for a man who would play his subordinates up against each other in an attempt to create sufficient discord in order to place him in a better position of control. It got so bad that I began to keep a record of our conversations and of his offences against me in a notepad – just in case I needed it someday, you understand.

These confrontations and offences continued at an alarming rate until a breaking point was reached and all was revealed. However, during the months leading up to this moment I had a dream. In the dream I saw myself standing with my chest against an iron barrier like the type found at a border crossing. Behind me the scene was desolate and barren but on the other side of the barrier fresh green meadows stretched out as far as you could see. I remember desperately trying to get at those green fields but the barrier prevented my moving forward.

I was troubled by this dream for some days. Then one morning, at work, I was preparing content for my Christian radio show. I was feeling particularly emotionally dry at that moment and prayed, “Lord, I need your help.” I had the Bible open and as I looked down into the pages of Isaiah I read, “Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk,” (Isaiah 58:9). Instantly, I knew that it was I who was pointing the finger! I was guilty of holding an account of wrong. Without delay I dug into my shirt pocket and retrieved my little “just-in-case-I-need-it” notepad and ripped it apart. As the pieces of that little book fell into my wastepaper bin, in my mind’s eye, I saw the barrier in my dream lift like a weight off my shoulders. I was free from condemnations and free from offence; free to walk out into the lush pastures of God’s purposes.

God-tracking is keeping no record of wrongs.

Keep your eyes on Jesus.

Verse of the Week

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

⁴  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Have The Same Attitude As Christ

Philippians 2:

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

Pray

“O Lord, my God, I realise now that have been the one in the wrong. I’m sorry for holding this grudge for so long. I repent of unforgiveness and ask that you will forgive me of all bitterness, pride and self-seeking. I choose to let my offences go. I pray for those who have offended me. Help them to see their errors, but help me to forgive and love them. Thank you for the luscious green pastures ahead of me now as I walk in the freedom of your grace. Lord, I want to have the same attitude as Christ; he forgave those who had crucified him. Amen.”

Dear God Tracker

To Stop Doing What You are Called to Do, Because You Feel Unworthy is to Insult God’s Grace

I was once in the middle of leading worship in my church when God taught me a very valuable lesson on grace. I was not in a good place in my life at the time. Although I was studying for the ministry and active in church, I was going through a period of rebelliousness. I was very critical of other Christians and was looking for loop-holes in the Bible to qualify my unfounded desires. At one particular point in the worship the congregation seemed to move into higher level of the experience of God. I was dumbfounded. “How can this be, Lord?” I said in my head as I sang. “These people are in deep worship and yet I - their worship leader - am in a bad place. I feel so unworthy.” In an instant I sensed God’s answer, “Yes you are unworthy.”

“There you go,” I said indignantly in my heart, “I’m going to quit this and hang up my guitar!” Again the instant though occurred to me by the voice of the Holy Spirit, “You are unworthy to lead these people in worship… but I’m not!” A hard lesson in the truth of grace.

In this experience, I discovered that no matter how “bad” I was feeling, if God has called me to do a job for him then it’s him in me doing it; not me! This is why Paul says that Jesus once told him, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." You see, grace is God at work, not you. Grace is God’s doing the job in and through you. The grace of God is twofold: it saves us from sin through the cross of Jesus and it empowers us to do good works through Christ in us, the hope of glory. Therefore, to stop doing what you are called to do because you feel unworthy is to insult God’s grace.

God-tracking is just doing it, by God’s grace.

Blessings

Dudley

“We are absolutely nothing.  We have nothing to be proud of.  We have no abilities and nothing to offer God.  The fact that he chooses to use is only due to his grace.  It has nothing to do with us.” -- Brother Yun

I Will Do the Good Works You Created Me to Do

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Pray

“Lord, I don’t have what it takes to be successful in my life’s calling. In fact, I’m probably not worthy of this job you have given me to do. However, I realise now that, as a believer in your power and grace, for me to refuse to carry on would be to insult the grace you have given me to do the job. I believe that it’s not me doing it, it’s you in me doing it. Please forgive me for my pride and insolence. I hand my activities, my relationships and my work over to you. Lord. I feel weak in my own abilities but I believe that this is a good thing, because when I am weak in me I am strong in you. Because I am your workmanship, by your grace, I will do the good works you created me to do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

Dear God Tracker

The Cause of Acknowledging God Has the Effect of Discovering His Plans for My Life

Causality is a term that describes the relationship between an event and its consequence, or second event. In other words it’s the results of an action, decision or confession. For example, the causality of eating too many sweets as a child is bad teeth as an adult. Some philosophies and religions use causality to describe karma or fate. But as a Christian, my causality does not depend on fate but upon faith resulting in the plans and purposes of God in my life.

The word of God tells us to acknowledge the Lord in all we do. This means that we should recognise our Father’s hand upon everything in our lives from career choice and relationships to my daily to-do list. We acknowledge God through prayer and confession. That is, when we commit every second of every day and every iota of every decision to him in prayer and then go about telling others that we have done so. When we acknowledge the Lord in all our ways we recognise his knowledge of who we are and submit our plans to his foreknowledge of our lives. The result of doing this is God will direct our paths (check out Proverbs 3:6). And after acknowledging the Lord in all we do we walk in faith – not fate – in his purposes without leaning on our own understanding. The cause of acknowledging God has the effect of discovering his plans for my life.   

God-tracking is walking by God’s cause and effect.

Every blessing

Dudley

It Is You Who Determines My Steps

Proverbs 16:9

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

Pray

“Dear Father, I’m sorry for making my plans without recognising your hand in my life. I choose now to acknowledge you in each and every area of my life – my relationships, my career, my church life, my hobbies, my TV watching, the books I read and even in my daily to-do lists. I give you every plan I have for the future. I pray that you will direct the course of my life, day by day. I employ a Godly causality by giving you the causes in my life and trusting you to produce your effects upon me and my loved ones. I know I can trust your foreknowledge and therefore, lean not on my understanding but walk in faith that you will direct every outcome of every decision I make. Lord, I confess that it is you who determines my steps. Amen.”

Dear God Tracker

Pray With Your Eyes on Jesus and Not Your Problem

My blood ran cold as my wife relayed the message to me that she’d just received from my daughter-in-law. Our newborn grandson had been rushed to hospital with a temperature in excess of 39 degrees Celsius. Little Ruben 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. At that moment I just knew he 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 and stopped breathing. Medics resuscitated him and sent 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 he was discharged back to his ward. Several tests were done but the doctors found nothing wrong with baby Ruben! A few of days later he was home. By God’s grace and comfort, the family had pressed in and taken God at his word: “…they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well,” (Matt 16:18).

Oswald Chambers once 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 last week. Let me encourage you to pray and hear from God. 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. So pray with your eyes on Jesus and not your problem.

God-tracking is getting through to the other side.

Every blessing

Dudley

Thank You for Answering My Call

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Pray

“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. 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 surrender my anxieties to 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.”
