The honour of walking with God

And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. Genesis 5:22

While many people are preoccupied with their daily lives and do not consider a relationship with God to be significant, Enoch chose to walk with God, earning him unique recognition in Scripture. Our existence, actions, and growth in this world are meaningless without acknowledging God, walking with Him, and serving Him. Enoch recognised that knowing God is the most valuable possession one can have; therefore, he pursued a deep relationship with Him for the remainder of his life. Eventually, God took him away, and he did not experience death like others. He was commended as someone pleasing to God.

Walking closely with the Most High God is the greatest honour, advantage, and privilege given to us as mortal beings. God expects us to respond to this invitation and make the most of the opportunity to know Him intimately and allow Him to use us to fulfil His kingdom's purpose on Earth. The blessings associated with walking with God cannot be quantified. Those who walk with God will never walk alone; He will be fully involved in their lives, leading, guiding, helping, strengthening, instructing, encouraging, and providing comfort. God will empower them to stand strong in faith and spirit throughout all seasons, helping them to fulfil their spiritual and physical responsibilities. 

God accompanies those who walk with Him in all their endeavours, serving as their Guide and Helper. He becomes the very essence of their lives. As individuals develop a close relationship with God, they cultivate a reverential fear of Him and live humbly to please Him. This relationship fosters a passion to honour God and live for His glory. Those who walk with God recognise Him as their Source, Wisdom, Covering, Shield, Saviour, and Helper. They remain close to Him and, in turn, He will never bring them shame. 

When someone walks with God, He bestows honour upon them, transforming their lives permanently. These individuals are chosen by God to be part of His plans in the world because He knows they will not fail Him. Each day spent walking closely with God brings added honour and improvements to their lives. God makes a covenant with those who walk with Him, ensuring that He will never let them go due to their commitment to fellowship through prayer. The way God communicates with those who maintain a close walk with Him is distinct from how He interacts with others, and He assures them always of His covenant with them.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
