GOD-TRACKING IS A 3-PART MISSION: TO INTERACT, IMPACT AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE TO BE TRUE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST
by Dudley Anderson GodTracker 627 12 May 2017 Dear God-tracker GOD-TRACKING IS A 3-PART MISSION: TO INTERACT, IMPACT AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE TO BE TRUE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST John 20:31 Interact, impact and influence people to be true followers of Jesus Christ. This has been my mission statement for many years. Jesus practiced this process when he walked on earth. He interacted with and impacted the crowds through miracles and healings and he influenced them by his parables and teaching until they became his followers. Granted, at the end of his earthly life, everyone turned away from him, but only to open the way for his greatest impact of all – the cross. The impact of the cross has influenced billions of people, though the ages, to be his true followers. Jesus had his own mission statement, which lines up well with this. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,” he said, quoting from the prophet Isaiah, “because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.” Several times, Jesus sent out his followers with the same commission. For instance, on one occasion he sent out his 12 closest disciples with this directive: “And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons.” God-tacking involves being influenced to follow Christ. God-tracking involves following his example and instructions. You and I, as trackers of the will of God, are commissioned to go into all the world and influence people to be disciples of Jesus. But how can we influence them unless we make an impact on their lives? And how can we impact them unless we interact with them in the first place. Today I encourage us to interact, impact and influence our friends, our family and our colleagues to be true followers of Jesus Christ, by proclaiming liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind; by setting at liberty those who are oppressed; by proclaiming the year of the Lord's favour.
