Dear God-tracker

God-tracking is stomping on the snakes and scorpions in your life

In Bible times people did not have the luxury of motorised transport or railway systems in order to travel from one location to another. The only modes of transport they used to travel cross county were camels, horses, donkeys and their feet. The Judean terrain was very unforgiving. Roads were little more than rocky and dusty pathways infested with scorpions and snakes. The average traveller travelled by foot – feet clad with nothing more than open sandals. I’m sure there must have been many a time when travellers were stung by scorpions or bitten by snakes. These were the very real hazards faced by any traveller in biblical times.

When the 72 disciples returned after Jesus had commissioned them for a short missions trip (which they undertook by foot, I might add) they were so excited to tell of how even demons obeyed the authority of Jesus’ name. Jesus explained that he had witnessed how Satan was cast from heaven after his rebellion against God. He then went on to say, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” Jesus knew that they would well understand this analogy as referring to their authority over Satan and his hordes by their experience of trekking the scorpion and snake infested pathways of the desert in open sandals.

As you track the plans of God, dear friend, you will often find yourself walking along demon infested avenues. The Bible says that the devil is waiting to devour us at every turn. But take heart, Jesus has given you authority to trample on these scorpions and serpents. He has given you authority, in his name, to overcome all the power of the enemy. And the enemy’s power is nothing more than lies; lies about your health, your finances, your future, and your relationships. So believe the truth of God’s word when it says that if you acknowledge the Lord in all your ways he will direct all your paths. So walk boldly in the victory that Christ has given you by the power of his name, as you track God’s paths for your life. And when those snakes and scorpions try to attack your feet, trample on them with all authority! Remember believer, the One in you is a thousand times greater than the one in the world!

God-tracking is stomping on the snakes and scorpions in your life

Dear God-tracker 

God-tracking is not a religious rite; it’s a stress-free walk of faith  

Studies have shown that the hippocampus of one’s brain, which is responsible for short-term memory, shrinks when one is under stress. In other words, the more stressed you become the more forgetful you become. Further studies have shown that religious people tend to have short-term memory lapses indicating that their hippocampi have become reduced. The researchers put this down to the stresses involved in following the precepts of religious compliance. They say that religious people open themselves to added stresses as a result of the effort of trying to follow religious rites and regulations. 

Sadly, many folk who call themselves practicing Christians think of themselves as religious people. As Christians we do follow the precepts of our scriptures, however, true Christianity is not a religion per se, but a relationship. The essence of salvation for a Christian is not religious works but a submissive faith in God’s grace; and grace is God’s doing. The Lord God we worship, produced the means himself to redeem us from sin after the fall of mankind. He did this by sending Jesus, his righteous son, to die for sin in our place (because the wages of sin is death) and then, by his resurrection, to create a way for us to be forgiven of all sin. Jesus became sin so that, in him, I might become God’s righteousness. The Law of the Spirit of life in Christ has set us free from the requirements of dead religious precepts. And all this is God’s grace – God’s doing! Faith is simply admitting that we don’t have what it takes to work for our salvation by any religious observance, or otherwise, and simply putting our confidence in the work of Jesus through the cross. It’s that easy!

Religion can be stressful but true Christianity is not stressful. Religious duties and procedures can be stressful but simple faith in God’s grace is anything but stressful. Trying to deal with sin and infirmity by our own effort can be really stressful but walking in repentance and by God’s grace is not stressful. In fact, faith is the easiest thing in the world, because faith is admitting that I can’t while God can! This is why Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest,” and “my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Religion is bearing up under the yoke of rituals, regulations and good works while true faith is simply tracking your life track, arm in arm with Jesus. 

God-tracking is not a religious rite; it’s a stress-free walk of faith

I come to Jesus today to take up his yoke and let go of my own. I fully accept Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour and choose to give my life over to him.

Dear God-tracker

God-tracking is a life seasoned with the POWER OF Holy Spirit 

I remember my first attempt at cooking a curry. Before I go any further, one thing you need to understand is, I’m no cook! Yet, with the council and direction of my talented wife, I once boldly attempted to cook up a dish fit for the Raj of India. The ingredients: sunflower oil, beef braising steak, onions, chopped tomatoes, garlic cloves, chillies, fresh root ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, natural yoghurt and a handful freshly chopped coriander. Hmmm. I dare say it turned out quite okay.

I fully understand that not everyone who reads this may be a lover of Indian cuisine. However, I’m sure you’ll agree that most of the ingredients listed above would make for a very fragrant and seasoned dish. Garlic, chillies, cumin, coriander along with the others have strong flavours and certainly influence the dish to produce its distinctive curry flavour. However, if I were to remove these distinct ingredients I’d be left with sunflower oil, beef braising steak, onions and chopped tomatoes. If I cooked only these components of the recipe my splendid curry would end up nothing more than an average stew. 

As we track the highways and byways of Christian living we often find ourselves in situations that test the flavour of our faith. The scripture tells us to make the most of every opportunity by allowing our interaction with the world to be seasoned as with salt. It also says that we are the salt of the earth, which means that we reveal the flavour of God to the world around us. In my own strength I would find it impossible to reveal God’s grace and power to my world but when I allow my witness be seasoned with the power of God’s Holy Spirit I become salt and light in a decaying and dark world. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would give us the words we need to speak when we’re put on the spot. Therefore, make sure your conversation is seasoned with the conscious presence of the Holy Spirit every time you find yourself in a position of conflict or are called upon to share your faith in this world. Only his power and grace will turn your humdrum stew into a fragrant curry.

Dear God-tracker 

God-tracking is praising God while you wait for him to move you on 

“And while you’re waiting for God to open that door, praise him in the hallway!” I read the Facebook posting on my timeline and smiled. I immediately remembered what the scriptures say in Revelation. John the Apostle was given messages to the 7 churches of Asia Minor. To the church of Philadelphia he was told to write that what Christ opens no one can shut and what he shuts no one can open. Then he went on to say that God had placed before the Philadelphians an open door. As with all of God’s word, we can take this statement personally, too.  

If we acknowledge God in all our ways and seek him in faith then he will lead us according to his plans for our lives. In the process of tracking the course that the Lord lays before us we often encounter so called, “doors” of opportunity. In other words, we face various options to appropriate various opportunities that present themselves to us as open or closed doors. Sometimes these doors are way open and all we need do is walk on in. However, sometimes we find ourselves in a large palatial hallway with several doors (opportunities) before us, all closed. It is here that we need to pause before grabbing the first available door handle and thrusting the door open on our own initiative. We need to wait on God and wait for God to orchestrate our circumstances to fall in line with his plans before we can walk through any doorway. And while you’re waiting for God to open that door, praise him in the hallway! 

God-tracking is praising God while you wait for him to move you on. 

God bless you.

GOD-TRACKING IS RATHER SETTING OUR MINDS ON GOD’S SUPERNATURAL TRUTH

Dear God-tracker

God-tracking is rather setting our minds on God’s supernatural truth 

The traffic came to a sudden standstill. A man seemed to appear from nowhere. Suddenly the door of John’s car was ripped open and a strong hand seized his shoulder, pulling him out onto the tarmac. “Get out! I want your car,” said its voice. John scrambled to his feet in protest when suddenly there was a loud crack. He slumped to the pavement. Spontaneously his hand grasped at his stomach. Blood seeped between his fingers. John had been shot by a carjacker. 

John lay in the intensive care unit listening to a conversation between his father and a doctor. “You don’t understand Mr Kent, said the doctor. “The bullet has missed his vital organs but John’s intestines have been ruptured. Their contents have been spilled into his system. He will certainly become septic within the next few hours. It’s touch and go. We’ll need to monitor him every minute.” The doctor was accurately describing John’s condition, which was very serious, indeed. “No!” replied his father, “With all respect doctor, you don’t understand. I have prayed for John’s safety and his healing. I believe that God will heal him and he will not become septic. I believe he will soon be home with us.” 

God’s word is true and God’s word reveals God’s will. Whatever the Bible says about life and living can be taken to be true for your life. In the Bible it says that, in Christ, we have power to overcome the devil’s power. The Bible also tells us that the devil is the father of lies, in him there is no truth. But Jesus said, “I am the way the truth and the life,” and “I will do whatever you ask in my name.” In Ephesians it says that, in Christ, we are seated in God’s heavenly realms, and in Colossians that we need to set our minds on things above and not earthly things. Therefore, when it comes to the comparison between natural evidence on earth and God’s supernatural truth in the heavenly realms I know which I’ll believe. 

John’s father was not contradicting the physical evidence of the doctor’s prognoses that night in the ICU; he was rather choosing to set his mind on things above and not earthly things. God’s word had revealed God’s will to heal his son and that’s what he chose to believe. John slept peacefully that night while his temperature remained normal. He was discharged from hospital within 5 days and was even well enough to travel a long hall flight within one week. 

God-tracking is rather setting our minds on God’s supernatural truth

God bless you.

Dear God-tracker 

God-tracking is believing you are where you’re meant to be 

“I can’t understand why I didn’t get the job,” said Pete. “I have the experience and qualifications required. There’s no reason I know of why they didn’t give it to me.” Pete had been unemployed for a few months and was desperate for a new job. “Did you acknowledge the Lord in this application?” I asked. “Yes,” he replied. “Did you commit the application and interview to the Lord?” Yes, again. “Then I would venture to say that this job was not meant. It means that the Lord has something better for you,” I concluded.

One thing I have discovered is that God always means what he says and what he does. The Lord is not indecisive (as we are) which means he does everything on purpose. The Bible tells us that God has a plan for our futures and that if we acknowledge him in all our ways then he will direct our life tracks accordingly. Sure enough, we’re not off the hook in that we still need to strategize but if we do so in prayer and by seeking his purposes first, through acknowledging his knowledge and foreknowledge of our lives, then we will plan according to his rules. 

Therefore, if you’re applying for a new job or planning a new move in life then be sure to acknowledge the Lord in your strategies by prayer and confession. If you’re seeking plans for the future or looking for new opportunities then seek first God’s principles, purposes and precedents. If you do so then all you could ever hope for will be added to you according to the plans he has for you. Believe me when I say that if you follow this process then you will find yourself within space and time exactly where you’re meant to be. 

So, if something doesn’t work out quite like you’d hoped it would then trust that the Lord has something better for you – something he has meant for you – that will far outstrip your wildest imaginations. Remember, the Lord God watches over his word to you in order to activate his plans for your life. What he promises will come about, in his time and be his design. And when it does, you will jump for joy! 

God-tracking is believing you are where you’re meant to be. 

God bless you.
