Walking with God

Enoch walked steadily with God. And then one day he was simply gone: God took him.
Genesis 5:24 MSG

We all want benefits or rewards,something to show for what we are doing. After an academic year,a student wants to see that he is promoted to the next level,after all the times of studying. A parent wants to be sure they are not wasting their resources in a school that's not yielding as much results as they want. So also in our walk with God,we want to have things to show for it. We seek to have a proof that we truly are on the Lord's side. This actually is powerful because it means we are not about to waste our time and energy in a fruitless effort.

However,the lesson for today is a shift of our minds from the results to the walk we are meant to have with God. The anchor scripture for today talks about Enoch,who,walked with God,and the result he got?- He was no more.

How unfathomable are the results that we get from walking with God that we would be shottchanging ourselves to try to figure out the results we stand to get.

Enoch couldn't have imagined that his walk with God  would make him no more.

God's gift to Enoch was taking him away. What gift could be bigger than that? 

 "This is why the Scriptures say: Things never discovered or heard of before, things beyond our ability to imagine— these are the many things God has in store for all his lovers."
1 Corinthians 2:9 TPT

Just like in any love relationship,the giver,who is God in this context, is more important than the gift. For as long as the giver is there,the gift will always surface.

God wants His Sons and Daughters to consciously walk with him and not be much  focused on the things he can give.

It's worthy of note to say that this walk is  a steady  one. 

 Maybe you are not yet a son or daughter of God,you can join the family today. The Bible says if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God rose from the dead,then you will be saved.

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Matt.9:9-10

Pls say this prayer after me: Lord Jesus,I confess that you are Lord of all. I believed you died for my sins and have been risen by the Father. Come inside of me Spirit of God and rule my life in Jesus name.






Don't forget to share this to be a blessing to someone if you were blessed by this.

Thank you . ❤️

My Beloved

If you would let me walk through the corners of your heart   I will take the thorns away with anesthesia enough to take you through I will shine my light in the path for your eyes to see and your feet to walk I will wrap you round in the warmth of my embrace From the cold that gives you frost bite in the feet and a chest pain even on a warm day I know you let some love in the left you broken And now it’s difficult to catch the pieces that remain because your strength is gone I see it all in your eyes, Even though you try to make it seem like you have it all together You have been bought with a prize I took all the brakes in my heart to see you whole I got striped and left in the cold so you could find warmth in me (would be hid in me and stay warm) I’m not about to let you go through all that trauma (again). I did it already, for you, for all So that when you pass through the rivers, you will have me around When you pass though waters, it ...

Meddling?

     According to the  Webster Dictionary, to meddle means to interest oneself in what is not one's concern. We live in a time and age where compromise is almost the order of the day. And especially because the concept of 'grace' has been  quite extreme,there's been a lopsided way of life. Grace in itself makes us warriors for us to uphold the standard of God  2Tim.2:4 says  Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them. Some of us Christians are awear of the things that are not in keeping with truly walking with God and yet continuing in it with the pride of heart that you know God to an extent. And whilst God is a merciful God,youd be a joker to expect him to entrust parts of him to you if  you keep handling your knowledge of him in unrighteousness. There are areas of God and depts of him that we may never be able to access because of this. Our walk with God is suppo...

Faithfulness

Today I want to share something about faithfulness. Faithfulness,according to google,  is the concept of unfailingly remaining  loyal  to someone or something, and putting that loyalty into consistent practice regardless of extenuating circumstances. Literally, it is the state of being full of  faith  in the sense of steady devotion to a person, thing or concept. In my understanding, it is being consistently committed to a course or person regardless of what comes your way. I want to focus on the things that we have been called to do or the things that we find per time to do. Sometimes we can get so lackadaisical about stuff when no one is watching or when others are playing their part. Sometimes its really because we don’t have enough drive to do what we really want to do. Sometimes, factors beyond our control can be the cause. Sometimes its because we have not exactly decided to take up responsibility by ourselves. Sometimes we don’t have knowledge ...
