What is trACker?
GodTracker and trACker owe their origins to an international Christian radio programme produced by Dudley Anderson called, OnTrack. Although OnTrack went off-air in 2005, trACker has continued to help people to track God's plans and purposes for their lives since July 2003.

Going Through the Change of Life

I sat riveted as listened to a very inspiring message being preached by a friend of mine on change. “Scientists have come up with a new term to describe an organism that never changes,” he said with added pause for effect. “They call it… dead!” The audience snickered as the humour of the statement contrasted with its truth. Indeed, without being tempted into the debate on the theory of evolution, every living creature from worms to whales; from moss to man endures many changes in shape, size or form in the space of its lifespan from the time it sprouts to the time it dies. Just take a look at your old baby photos if you don’t believe me. As someone once said, “Change – it’s here to stay.”


The Bible talks about change as transformation. For instance it says that the Holy Spirit is transforming us into Christ likeness with ever increasing glory (2 Cor 3:18). To be more precise, the English word “transformed” is translated from the Greek word, “metamorphoō” from which we get the English word metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is something that happens to certain life forms like caterpillars when they go through a change of life and become butterflies.

 

"So, submit more and more to God’s Word and Spirit so that you will be metamorphosed into the beautiful new creation he has purposed you to be. Be encouraged, you are going through the change of Life"


When a butterfly is born it looks very different from the beautiful fluttering creature we have all come to know and love. It’s born with a long green, brown or dirty grey body with short legs and hairs all over it. It can’t fly and crawls around your vegetable patch munching on your prize lettuce plants. A butterfly is born as a worm but soon, after undergoing a few changes of its own like growing big and fat, just when its life is filled with sunshine and juicy lettuce leaves it senses an insatiable urge to build a tight silk cocoon prison around itself. Sealing it, our dear little worm spends several days fasting and transforming – metamorphosing – into a beautiful butterfly. This is the type of change the Holy Spirit performs in our lives, spiritually.

Perhaps you’re feeling the nudge of change today. It could be you feel as though you are being squashed into a tight corner and feel there is no way out. Maybe you’re circumstances have changed so much in the past few weeks or months that the view from for your life’s window looks completely different to what it did before. Be rest assured, my dear God Tracker, so long as you continue to acknowledge the Lord and walk by faith in him, you’re in the best place you could ever be! This is proof that you are not dead but are being transformed into Christ-likeness with ever increasing glory.  So, submit more and more to God’s Word and Spirit so that you will be metamorphosed into the beautiful new creation he has purposed you to be. Be encouraged, you are going through the change of Life.

God-tracking is transforming daily into God’s image.

Be blest

Verse of the Week

Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Quote of the Week
A Sample of Dudley’s Fave Quotes

“God does not patch up the old life, or make certain repairs on the old life; He gives a new life, through the new birth.” --- Kathryn Kuhlman

Don't Give Up, Look Up!
Fix Your Eyes on Jesus

I Eagerly Await My Saviour

Philippians 3:20-21
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

Pray:
“O God thank you so much for stepping into my life and changing me from the old person I used to be into the wonderful new creation that I am today.  Thank you Jesus that you took my sin upon the cross so that, in you, I might be transformed into God’s righteousness. And yet, I still have many, many things in my life that I know displease you and need to be changed. I know that this change is a daily process, O Lord, so help me face all change by the power of your Holy Spirit in my life. I am a citizen of heaven and I know that one day I will be physically transformed to be like Jesus is now. But until then, Lord, I will welcome my metamorphosis as I eagerly await my saviour. Praise you, my Lord. Amen”
