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 . ❤️

Doors Do Open

Have you ever felt like you have exhausted all of your options and you can’t seem to find a way out?  Or you know that there is more that can be out of a case you are on? I can’t imagine what the widow whose husband left some debts for her to pay before he died must have gone through. Wait, you think all that happened is all there is. In the sense, you have pressed all your buttons and made all your moves. Knocked all the doors you know and made the calls. You now think its over. You think there’s no way out again? Be there! You seem to have forgotten so quick that God is the one that makes things happen. Look at the widow whose husband left her in debt. She was broke. No money no possession my sons up for sale kindof broke. Her two sons were going to be taken captive to pay for the debts that was on ground. Of course she was devastated. She had no possession to sell to get some money. The only thing she knew to do was to go meet Elisha who her husband served with. ...

Gods word as our reality

If anything would go through our spirit to our soul and then to reality,its going to pass through our mind. And if anything is going to have an impact on the spirit it would go through the mind. And so the mind is the place where a thing really is made or mared. It's where we either get an headway or remain stranded/on the same spot/can't see a way. It's the battlefield as it's often put. 2Cor.10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; This passage makes us to see that imaginations and thoughts have a way of exhausting themselves above the knowledge of God in our minds and we are the ones to do the job of making sure the word of God is the status quo of our mind...finding out what the word of God says and making it preeminence over and above any other thought. re-enforcing what the word of God says. Capturing God's idea(word) in ou...

The Black Bag

Running over from the end of the class where I was sitting to my course mate,I sat on the chair next to him as I placed his school bag on my legs. Staring at the bag for a while,I said, precious Holy Spirit please teach me a lesson from this bag. It was a black leather-like bag with patches on the side(some parts of the bag peeled off). As I starred at the bag I asked my course mate-How old is this bag? He said to me,its about a year old. Its amazing how people tend to defend their actions even before you make your comment(He was already giving me reasons the bag looked that old/tattered). I discovered the bag was too good to be that tattered at less than one year. That was the lesson right there: There are people who are strong and passionate,vibrant and active,with so much beauty radiating from their inside out. But then situations in life may rise up,some beyond human control,some at the mercy of human that could make someone as good as that black leather bag become so tattered li...
