Dear God-tracker 

God tracking is a faith venture! 

The scripture tells us that we are saved by grace through faith.  It also says that God has a plan for our lives if we seek him. And seeking God requires faith. Faith discovers the rewards of the plans of God. Listen: “And without faith it is impossible to please God, anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”  

A few years back I was in a church where a lady had contracted cancer. She immediately followed a chemo-therapy programme and began to improve. However, after a few weeks she began to regress until she was bed-ridden and ultimately died. All through these gruelling months the church prayed fervently for her. Anointing her with oil we laid hands on her and claimed God’s supernatural touch. All along we walked in faith. Faith is the substance of what we hoped for and we hoped for her healing so we operated in faith. Yet she died. Did we fail? Did we not have enough faith? Should we have stopped praying for healing? I believe the answer to these questions is a resounding no. The scriptures compel us to always pray for healing and walk in faith until the very last moment. Anything less than walking in faith (no matter what the outcome) would be a failure. Why? Because faith pleases God! 

Prayer activates faith. Therefore to do anything less than to pray for the sick or pray for a need of any sort would displease God, and the one thing I want to do most in my life is to please my God. God’s wisdom and his purposes are beyond our own human reason. God has foreknowledge of our lives. This is why we walk by faith in his plans and purposes for us. He always knows best and if we take him at faith-value then whatever the outcome it is for our good. So, if you are waiting on God for an answer to your prayers then be encouraged to continue praying and walking in faith, because God tracking is a faith venture!

God tracking is a faith venture!

God-tracking is Persevering in Your God-Track No Matter What the Opposition

Dear God-tracker

 

God-tracking is Persevering in Your God-Track No Matter What the Opposition

 

God-tracking involves acknowledging the Lord God in every aspect of living. This means that, for the God-tracker, wherever he may find himself on the track of life is exactly where God wants him to be. This is because the scriptures tell us that if we acknowledge the Lord in all our ways then he will direct the outcome. And I personally know this to be true.

 

One God-tracker who continually acknowledged the purposes of God was William Wilberforce.  One night in the early 1790s, Wilberforce was discouraged after yet another defeat in his 10-year battle against the slave trade in England. Tired and frustrated, he opened his Bible and a small piece of paper fell out and fluttered to the floor. It was a letter written by his mentor, John Wesley shortly before his death. Wilberforce read it again: " Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you, who can be against you? Are all of them together stronger than God? Oh, be not weary of well-doing. Go on in the name of God, and in the power of His might."

 

If you continue to track the plans of God for your life (and God does have a plan for your life) by acknowledging him in all you do then God himself will open and close doors so that you will find yourself precisely where he wants you to be. The Bible tells us that if God starts a good work in us he will see it on to completion. But as you track God’s purposes, like William Wilberforce, you may often find yourself slogging away at a project, or a job or a life-long ambition only to be faced with opposition or difficulty at every turn. However, because you have put the Lord’s purposes first in your life he alone will sustain and provide for your success, no matter how intense the opposition or however long it may take. So, dear God-tracker, be not weary of well-doing. Go on in the name of God, and in the power of His might!

 

God-tracking is persevering in your God-track no matter what the opposition.

 

Every blessing

 

Dudley

God-tracking Is Letting Go Of Offence

Dear God-tracker

God-tracking Is Letting Go Of Offence 

I was packing up my guitar after church one Sunday evening when Jim came up to me. I noticed the stern look in his eye and wondered what was wrong. He paused for a moment then blurted out between clenched teeth, “Dudley, I have known you now for two years and I just want to say that I have always had a problem with you. But I’ve sorted it out now and it’s all okay.” Then Jim turned on his heals and strode away, head held high. I gazed at the back of his retreating head, dumbfounded. What did I do? What was his problem, with me? Am I such bad bloke that I offend people for so long without the slightest idea what I’ve said or done. Now I was the one with the problem. 

One thing I have learned in the course of my days is that there is a small emotional spot in our minds that holds all our emotions, good and bad. Let’s call it the emotional bucket. This bucket has limited space and when it’s full up it overflows with the majority of what it holds. Fill it up with negative emotions and it will overflow with negative emotions; fill it up with positive emotions and it will overflow with positive emotions. For some reason Jim had filled his emotional bucket with negative hurts and offences to such an extent that he was overflowing with bitterness and criticism.  

Something else I have learned over the years is that our God cares about our hurts and offences and is concerned about your emotional wellbeing.  For instance, Jesus once said, “Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” On the contrary, the devil hates your sense of wellbeing and will do all he can to wreak havoc with your emotions. He will entice you to hold onto offence or keep a record of wrongs. He will entice you to harbour all those negative emotions within your little emotional bucket to the extent that you will become embittered and grieved. Don’t let this happen. Just let go! Pull the plug of forgiveness on that emotional bucket and allow all your negative emotions to drain out on the floor instead of overflowing into the lives of other people.  

God-tracking is letting go of offence

I choose to forgive and pray that you will help me to feel forgiveness of those who have hurt me. Lord, today I pull the plug on my emotional bucket and I let go of my harboured offence. In Jesus’’ name. Amen.”

God-tracking is acknowledging the Lord at the start of every day

Dear God Tracker

 

God-tracking is acknowledging the Lord at the start of every day

 

I have one of those snooze buttons on my clock-radio, which allows for an extra 9-minutes snooze after the initial alarm time. One particular morning I had pressed the snooze button and was laying awake thinking about the day to come. I had nothing untoward lined up for that day and so, as I lay there, I heard myself pray, “Lord, I acknowledge you in my day.” But as the day unfolded I found myself constantly confronted by challenges to that simple prayer. The devil seemed to be out to derail me from God’s plans and purposes for that day; everything went wrong from computer problems (which, I dare say, severely challenged my moral integrity) to banging my little toe against a doorframe! And with each temptation to lessen my Christian witness the words, “Lord, I acknowledge you in my day,” came to mind.

 

In your daily God-tracking you will often be faced by multiple challenges to your integrity. The devil hates God’s plans and purposes for you and will attempt to derail you from your God-track at every turn. It’s a fact; you will be faced with temptations, sickness, disappointments and difficulties in this life. But if you pray and acknowledge the Lord at the start of each day then God will direct you and provide a way out of every adverse situation you face. Jesus actually warned us that we would face trouble in this world but then reminded us that he has overcome the world.

 

I’m sure Jesus faced challenges in his daily life, like I did that day. I wonder if he ever had a bad word come to mind when he wacked his little finger with a mallet in his carpenter’s workshop. I wonder if he ever became stressed or overworked or frustrated when things went wrong. We know that after his baptism, the Holy Spirit took him into the wilderness where he was tempted by Satan. However, I’m convinced that Jesus was always in control of his adverse situations. You see, I’m equally convinced that Jesus knew the proverb found in Proverbs 3:6 that commands us to acknowledge God in all our ways. I’m convinced that he might have prayed each morning, “Father, I acknowledge you in my day.” And so it was when that auspicious day eventually dawned Jesus was able to sing with his disciples at the last Passover meal he ever ate, “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” So let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author of our faith and follow his example of acknowledging the Lord in all our ways.

Dear God Tracker

God-tracking is walking in the counsel of the Holy Spirit, 24/7

The text came through on a Saturday afternoon: “Dudley, my aunt Beryl has been rushed to hospital with a stroke. Can you come pray for her? Thanks. Jane.” It was my day off but I made an effort to get out to the hospital. When I arrived there aunt Beryl’s family was assembled around her bed. I hardly knew Jane let alone aunt Beryl and her family, but I did what I could to comfort and counsel them and then prayed for Beryl.

On the way home I mulled over what had happened. “Dear Lord,” I prayed “sometimes I feel so inadequate. I did all I knew to do, but there’s just not enough of me to be there all the time for all those folk and the many others who need counsel, 24/7. Please take over.”

Like most people I also often find myself in need of comfort and counsel for various reasons ranging from feeling a little under the weather to, what should I do with the rest of my life? Sometimes I also wish I had a willing ear dedicated to listen and counsel me, 24/7. But this is impossible – or is it?

Jesus once said, “
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever.” Jesus was promising the coming of the Holy Spirit who would be poured out on all flesh and this happened at the day of Pentecost shortly after Jesus had ascended to heaven. The Holy Spirit is God Gods presence with us and he was sent to be our counselor, comforter and helper. In Psalm 139 we read, “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?” God as Holy Spirit is present everywhere all the time. This means that the Holy Spirit is perpetually with you and me as counselor and helper wherever we may find ourselves. You see, you and I do have a willing ear dedicated to listen to and counsel us, 24/7. More than this, our God is all-powerful and can richly meet our every need. Now thats good news!

God-tracking is walking in the counsel of the Holy Spirit, 24/7
