“Physical death is merely a transition – a promotion – from this life to the next. God is merciful and by his grace, he has made the way, through Jesus, for anyone who calls on his name to be saved from the fear of death.”

1 Corinthians 15:55
“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?

I stood at a distance in the corner of her room. My wife, Karen’s, dear grandmother was nearing her end. This dear lady had had a wonderful Godfearing life. Her loving family sat by her side. Nan was peaceful, breathing gently. Karen held her hand. The room was crowded; I couldn’t see Nan in her bed. Yet, at that moment I sensed a peace – a power, even – in the room. To me, it seemed as though the room came alive. Nan breathed out quietly as her dear spirit arose to the bosom of her Saviour. Death where is your sting?

The one absolute of this life is death. Though God created man with the intention of eternal life, sin, sadly, corrupted the image of God within him, resulting in mortality. The sting of death is sin. The wages of sin is death, and we will all die. But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus, the righteous One, took the wages of sin when he died. But he did not remain dead; Jesus Christ rose from the grave. This is how I know that Christ was sinless: the wages of sin could not hold him down! By faith in his death and resurrection and by confessing him as Lord we, too, can be set free from the wages of sin. The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

But we remember God’s word tells us that he knows the plans he has for us. So, indeed, we will all die but even our physical death is in the plans of God for the believer. We have no fear of death. Physical death is merely a transition – a promotion – from this life to the next. God is merciful and, by his grace, has made the way, through Jesus, for anyone who calls on his name to be saved from the fear of death.

The peace, the ecstasy, the joy in that room on that day was palpable. Old Nan had been promoted to glory, no longer confined to the corruption of flesh. What a hope for each of us if we confess Jesus as Lord.

God-tracking has no fear of death.

“I no longer fear death.”

“O Lord, I have always had a fear of death but now I realise that death is no more than a passage to paradise. I believe that Jesus, the righteous Son of God, became sin for me at Calvary so that I could made righteous by his blood. Therefore, I am no longer contaminated by sin and its wages and have the promise of eternal life. I believe Jesus died and rose again and confess him to be my Lord and Saviour. Therefore, I no longer fear death. Thank you, O my Lord. Amen.”

“The Lord has not forgotten you and has not forgotten his promises to you. He who promised is faithful and he will be faithful to you as you faithfully continue to trust Him.”

Hebrews 10:36
For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise

There are myriad Christian brothers and sisters enduring persecution around the world: homes ransacked, families ostracised, churches raised to the ground, men and women beaten, abused and killed for the simple belief that Jesus, the Son of God, is the Way, the Truth and the Life. A sad reality that has existed since the foundation of the Church of Jesus Christ. Paul the apostle was insulted, stoned and imprisoned for his confession of Jesus as Lord and Saviour. As he exhorted us to pray for him while he was an ambassador in chains, so we pray for those who are suffering for their faith today.

You may not find yourself in such a predicament. However, you may be enduring difficulty or strife under circumstances not of your making. As with those who are persecuted for their faith, we know that our opponent is no man. Rather, we battle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers and spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places. That is, our fight is with Satan, not man. In fact, Jesus commanded us to love our enemies and do good to those who persecute us. So, put on the full armour of God and prayerfully take your stand against your real enemy. He is a defeated foe. Jesus triumphed over him at Calvary.

Patient endurance is what you need today so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised. Whatever you are facing, don’t give up, look up and keep tracking God’s plans for your life. Now is the time for stickability and patient endurance. The Lord has not forgotten you and has not forgotten his promises to you. He who promised is faithful and he will faithfully strengthen you as you faithfully continue to trust Him.

God-tracking is faithful endurance.

“Help me to love those who insult me while I don the whole armour of God and take my stand against the real enemy of my soul.”

“Dear Lord, I find myself in a predicament today. I don’t know which way to turn. Opposition has come against me from every angle and I’m exhausted from trying to withstand the attack. So, I surrender now to your faithful grace and seek your strength to endure. I know it’s not going to be by my might or power that I will overcome but only by the power of your Holy Spirit in me. Help me to love those who insult me while I don the whole armour of God and take my stand against the real enemy of my soul. Amen!”

“The Lord is able to keep you from stumbling and falling. He wants to lift you up and hold you securely. You can rely on his strength to carry and sustain you.”

Jude 24
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.

“But I am trying to be born again,” said Christine as we travelled to church on the bus. “I try so hard to live a good life but I keep messing it up. I keep falling.” Christine hadn’t yet grasped the truth that being born again was an act of faith, not effort. “God’s word makes it clear that we are not justified by living a good life we are justified by faith in the good life of Jesus,” explained Mark our group leader. “Jesus was sinless and perfect in every way; he is the fulfilment of the Law of Moses. Yet he took the wages of our sin when he died on the cross, for the wages of sin is death. But then Jesus rose from the dead, and when he did, he conquered sin and death. By faith in his death and resurrection and by confessing him as Lord, we are saved and born again. We are saved by grace (and grace is God’s doing) and we are saved by faith, not any effort to live a good life,” said Mark.

Christine gradually understood the concept of grace and faith and surrendered her heart to Jesus. Sadly, however, she continued to fight the flesh. Christine fell time and time again, degrading her walk of faith. She hadn’t fully understood that our life of goodness is a continual faith walk. We are saved by faith and we are preserved by faith.

Faith is confidence in someone else. We all exercise faith every day when we trust other people to do what they have promised. Likewise, our walk of goodness is a walk of confidence in the goodness that God imputes into us when we are born again. However, the flesh is weak. This is why Jesus said, “In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

The Lord is able to keep you from stumbling and falling. He wants to lift you up and hold you securely. You can rely on his strength to carry and sustain you. So, don’t be discouraged the next time you fall. Have faith in his grace (grace is God’s doing). He is able to keep you from falling.

God-tracking is faith in his sustaining grace

Forgive me for my failures and shortcomings. I repent of sin, in Jesus’ name. Thank you, O Lord, that you keep me from stumbling, and present me faultless before the presence of your glory. Amen.”

“Faith is confidence in things hoped for and faith comes by the word of God. Both Becky and the lady with the issue of blood had simple faith in God’s word that he was willing to heal them. And he did.”

Mark 5:34
And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”.

Pam had endured motor neurone disease for many years. MND is a dreadful condition that affects the brain and nerves. It causes weakness and inflicts an incapacity that gets worse with time. There's no cure for MND. MND can significantly shorten life expectancy and eventually leads to death. Pam had developed to the point where she was unable to move about unassisted. She was enduring severe muscle cramps and twitches and had lost so much weight that her muscles had atrophied. She lay in bed, contemplating the power of God to heal.

Pam was a believer. She had surrendered her life to Jesus as a child and had grown up under the teaching of God’s word. She knew that God’s word was God’s will and that God’s word promised healing. As she lay alone in her bed that morning Pam spoke out the words that the Holy Spirit dropped into her heart, “By whose stripes you were healed.” Her faith began to rise.

“Lord, if you can heal me help me to sit up.” Pam strained but gradually she sat upright. “Dear God, I know your word promises healing. Help me throw my legs over the edge of my bed.” She did. “Okay, Lord, help me get up and walk to the door.” Pam precariously rose and made her way to the bedroom door. “Thank you, Jesus!” she uttered. “Now help me walk down the garden to Dave’s office.”

Pam’s husband, Dave, was a doctor. He practiced from home and had a small office at the bottom of their garden. Hearing a knock on the door, he rose and opened it. Dave almost fell backward as he saw his once incapacitated wife standing, unaided, at his office door. Totally healed!

Jesus said to the woman who touched his cloak in a crowded marketplace, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Be healed of your affliction.” This dear lady, like Pam, had no one pray for her. Jesus hadn’t even laid a hand on her. Yet, she believed that it was his will to heal and that he had the power to heal her illness. And he did.

Faith is confidence in things hoped for and faith comes by the word of God. Both Pam and the lady with the issue of blood had heard God’s Word. They heard that he promised healing. Both Pam and the lady with the issue of blood had a simple faith in God’s word that he was willing to heal them. And he did.

God’s word is God’s will. God’s word promises healing. Faith is confidence in God’s word.

God-tracking is believing God will heal.

“Turn my impossibility into possibility now, in the name of Jesus.”

“Father God, I come before you in faith that you can heal and that your word reveals that it is your will to heal my afflictions. I stand on 1 Peter 2 verse 24 and confess, ‘By whose stripes I was healed!’ I believe it is your will to heal me today! Dear Lord, I know with God nothing is impossible. Turn my impossibility into possibility now, in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
