“He who knows past, present and future has everything lined up for your life. Indeed, there are no accidents in the Christian life. Your life is a poem, beautifully planed by God.”

Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them

"There are no accidents in the Christian life. Everything is beautifully planned by God," words of seasoned Bible teacher, Derek Prince. Derek Prince was a very intellectually successful young man with great academic potential. When he discovered the truth that we are all lost in sin and can only be made right with God by his grace, through faith, he surrendered his life to God’s workmanship.

Derek Prince teaches that we are saved to serve God; we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. He sensed the call of God on his life when he married a lady who ran an orphanage. In an instant, he became a father to eight girls. Derek Prince progressed to become one of the most profound Bible teachers of the late 20^th century. He says that God puts us in positions we are often not qualified for but his grace qualifies us for every aspect of life and work. As Derek Prince points out, the original Greek for the word, workmanship, is poiēma, the same word from which we get the English word poem.

You are God’s poem. He has penned your life with precision and perfection. If you continue to acknowledge God in all your way, he will direct your life’s track according to his perfect poetic plan for you. God knows the plans he has for you, plans for welfare, peace and success. Nothing happens by chance in God’s plans. If you keep your mind stayed on him, he will guide you according to his perfect will. He who knows past, present and future has everything lined up for your life. Indeed, there are no accidents in the Christian life. Your life is a poem, beautifully planned by God.

God-tracking is no accident

WHEN FAITH GIVES WAY TO TRUST

“Yet, there are those times when we cry out to God in faith but he remains silent. This is where faith gives way to trust. Faith is confidence in God’s action while trust is confidence in God’s inaction.”

Psalm 37:23,24 (KJV)
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

Corrie Ten Boom said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” I have personally found there is a difference between trusting God and having faith in God. Have no doubt, faith pleases God and we need to walk in faith. But trust is slightly different to faith.

Scripture tells us that faith is the confidence in things hoped for. The word hope implies things yet to come. Indeed, faith is confidence that God will hear our cries for help for those things that we yet need. The scriptures make it plain that God will meet our needs and heal our bodies. God has promised to meet all our needs when we pray in faith, and he does. Yet, there are those times when we cry out to God in faith but he seems to remain silent. This is where faith gives way to trust. Faith is confidence in God’s action while trust is confidence in God’s inaction.

God-tracking is based on the fact that God has plans for our lives. To follow God’s plans, we need to seek his will. To walk in God’s will we need to acknowledge God in all our ways. When we do this, we relinquish control of our lives to the Lord’s direction. Our God is high and exalted. Our God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. He is our sovereign Majesty. His character is supreme, his power unlimited and his will is paramount. Therefore, we can trust that he is in control. You can trust the Lord with all your hearts and not lean on your own understanding, even when it seems he is silent.

So, whatever dilemma you are facing today, call on him and have faith that God will act on your behalf. And when it seems he does not act, simply trust him. He is in control, always. And we know that all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose.

God-tracking is trusting God knows what he is doing

I do have faith, O God, that you will meet my needs as I make my requests with thanksgiving. You are faithful and you will do it. However, I see no action, yet. Therefore, I will simply trust that you are in control and that you will meet my needs in your time, just in time. Praise your name. Amen. ”

REAL INSPIRATION

“The Holy Spirit in you is your inspiration to follow the plans that God knows he has for you to fulfil your purpose on this planet.”

1 Corinthians 2:16
“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Thomas Carlyle said, “Have a purpose in life, and, having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.” One of my contemporary heroes of faith, Reinhard Bonnke, said, “God's Spirit is more than accurate. His directions come from the mind of omnipotence." Indeed, God has called you and me on purpose; he does nothing without intent. The premise of God-tracking is this, God knows the plans he has for you, plans for an inspired purpose. But where does that inspiration come from?

We read in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 that there exists in the world two types of people: the natural man and the spiritual man. (There are actually three types of people, there is also the carnal man but we don’t have time to chat about him today.) The natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God. The spiritual man, on the other hand, is one born of and filled with the Holy Spirit. He is the true Christian believer.

We also read in this chapter that the Holy Spirit knows the mind of God. The Spirit-filled Christian has the Holy Spirit in his spirit man. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, that is, the mind of Christ. We also read here, “But we have the mind of Christ.” Therefore, by God’s grace, the Spirit-filled believer’s directions come from the mind of omnipotence. That is to say, the Holy Spirit in you is your inspiration to follow the plans that God knows he has for you to fulfil your purpose on this planet.

So, go for it! Write that book, record that song, start that business, paint that painting, bake that cake, speak those gentle words, teach that Sunday School, lead that worship. Fulfil your purpose with the mind of Christ.

God-tracking is going for it with the mind of Christ.

LIVE YOUR LIFE INSIDE OUT

“So, today I say to you, turn your life inside out and, in faith, live by the Spirit within and not the flesh without.”

Galatians 5:22-21
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

I once stood up to preach wearing my jacket inside out. I made no comment of the fact of the seeming lack of decorum in my attire and began ministering from 2 Corinthians chapter 5. My key verse was verse 17.

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come,” I said. “You see, when you heard the gospel and accepted Jesus as Lord of your life, something profound and supernatural occurred. When you confessed your sins to God, he, by his grace, forgave and cleansed you. When you asked Christ into your life, you were born again. Your spirit man became a new man. Your old natural man died. Yes, you became a new creature in Christ.”

I went on to describe how the inner man is renewed and made righteous by God’s righteousness. I quoted verse 21 adding that God imputes us with his righteousness in our inner man at the point of rebirth. “Our insides are made new; forgiven of sin and imputed with God’s righteousness,” I preached.

At this point, I took off my inside-out jacket and turned it the right way round and put it on again. “Therefore,” I said with a preacher’s gusto, “Live your life inside out!”

Dear GodTracker, if you have surrendered your life to Jesus and acknowledged God in all your ways; if you are born again by the Holy Spirit and have died to the old nature, why then do you still allow the old crucified man/woman to live on your outside? The old man is a man of depravity and sin. The old man is a man of despair and anguish. The old man is a man of disease and sickness. The old man is a man of poverty and deprivation. The old man is a man of loss, depression, anxiety and fear. The new man is none of these. The new man is victorious, healthy, loving, joyous, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and self-controlled. The new man lives by the fruit of the Spirit.

So, I say to you today, turn your life inside out and, in faith, live by the new Spirit within and not the old flesh without.

God-tracking is turning your life inside out

Therefore, I choose today to turn my life inside out that your goodness, victory and love may be seen on my outside. Forgive me for concealing the good nature you recreated in my heart.

FROM DESPAIR TO CHEER

“He plans to build you up, turn your mourning into joy and reward the work of your hands. Just place your hope for the future in his hands.”

Psalm 90:17
Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands.

When I sat down to have my morning devotions yesterday, I was feeling not a little despondent. I’ve recently endured some life-changing events in my work and ministry that have left me feeling demotivated. “Why the changes, Lord,” I prayed. “I’m very grateful for all you have given me and the great opportunities I have for ministry, but sometimes I feel there is no fruit to what I do.” Have you ever felt that way, like you’re slogging away at life, burning the candle at both ends only to go to bed at night feeling unrewarded? That’s how I felt when I prayed.

After complaining to God, I turned to the scriptures for my daily reading. I was reading from Jeremiah. Jeremiah 29:11 is one of my life verses. It reminds us that God knows the plans he has for us, plans for welfare, prosperity and peace; to give is a hope and a future. I was reading in chapter 31 yesterday. My eyes fell on the words, “I have loved you with an everlasting love… I will build you, and you shall be built… I will turn their mourning into joy… for there is a reward for your work…” and “there is hope for your future, declares the Lord.”

The Lord does have a plan for you, a plan for a blessed and successful future. Though you may feel despondent and demotivated at times, he never does. God has confidence in his plans for you. He has loved you with an everlasting love. His plans are to build you up, turn your mourning into joy and reward the work of your hands. Just place your hope for the future in his hands. Don’t give up, look up and fix your eyes on Jesus, the author of your life.

I thank the Lord that he lifted my spirits and restored my optimism as I prayed. When I read these words, he turned my despair into cheer.

God-tracking is placing your hope in the rewards of God.

FEELING THE HEAT OF GOD’S FURNACE

GodTracker 795

“Are you in a furnace today? Be encouraged, your Lord is refining you. Be encouraged, if you’re in the furnace today, he is with you. Charles Spurgeon said, ‘As sure as God puts His children in the furnace, He will be in the furnace with them.’”

1 Peter 16:7
so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

I used to work in an office that overlooked a steel mill. Across the property boundary was a rail track where rail carriages would line up to receive the dross that resulted from the iron refining process. I watched as carriage after carriage was filled with the disgusting steaming metallic sludge that was skimmed off the purified iron, which was being refined to produce smooth shiny stainless steel.

The same process is employed to refine gold. Gold is precious. Gold is beautiful. However, most gold jewellery we wear is not pure, it is an alloy mix of gold and other metals. When gold is purified, this mixture is heated to a temperature of between 1,000 and 1,100 degrees Celsius. When the metallic mixture reaches this temperature, it melts. In the furnace, the pure gold sinks to the bottom of the crucible while the impure alloy metals separate and rise to the surface. This is called the dross. The sludge of dross is then skimmed off and discarded, leaving beautiful precious pure 24-carat gold behind in the crucible.

You are precious. You are beautiful. You have deep hidden qualities that God rejoices over. He who is holy has called you to be beautifully holy as he is holy. There is an old song that goes, “Purify my heart, let me be as gold and precious silver. Refiner's fire, my heart's one desire is to be holy.” Only in the heat of God’s furnace can you, and I, be refined to become holy. Only in the heat of God’s furnace will the dross of the old life rise to the surface that it may be skimmed off, revealing beautiful precious qualities of holiness within you.

Are you in a furnace today? Be encouraged, your Lord is refining you. Be encouraged, if you’re in the furnace today, he is with you. Charles Spurgeon said, “As sure as God puts His children in the furnace, He will be in the furnace with them.”

God-tracking is a refining process

MAKE THE MOST OF LIFE THROUGH YOUR DILEMMA

GodTracker 794

“Even within your dilemma, he is reminding you that every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare[a] and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah predicted that Judah would be conquered by the Babylonians and taken into exile for 70 years. The Jews had rebelled against God and their captivity was the result. However, through Jeremiah, though angry with his people, God instructs them to make the most of their dilemma. He tells them to build houses, plant gardens and have children. They were to seek the welfare of the city where he sent them into exile. He was still with them.

Though God was angry, he still loved his children. Through the same prophet who predicted ruin he says, “I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up, and not tear them down; I will plant them, and not uproot them,” and “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.”

You may feel as though you’re in exile today, far from your dreams of prosperity and peace. Could be you’re suffering the ills of a bad decision or a rebellious act but know this… your Lord will never leave you or forsake you. Abba Father loves you very much just as a regular dad loves his kids, though they may be stubborn or defiant at times. Even within your dilemma, he is reminding you that every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. So, don’t despair. Like the people of God in Babylonian exile, turn your eyes back to Jesus and make the most of your situation. He is still with you.

God-tracking is believing he with you through life’s predicaments
