“Enoch
walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.”
Genesis 5:24
While we live in this world,
before we die, every second of our lives, the call is for us to live faithfully
with God.
We have been given a great
example to emulate, the example of a man who did exactly that. According to the
opening bible verse, “Enoch walked
faithfully with God.” What a powerful role model! What an inspiration Enoch
was and still is to believers!
Walking faithfully with
God is a result of a deliberate decision that one makes. It certainly depends
on the extent to which one is devoted to the will of God, whether one has truly
surrendered, or they just use their powerful communication skills to claim so.
A person who surrendered
or fully surrendered to God will walk faithfully with Him. Deceivers won’t walk
faithfully with God because they won’t and can’t. The weak demonstrate huge variability
in their approval ratings regarding this matter depending on the day of the
week or minute of the hour.
God is not looking for
those who have not surrendered or those who have partially surrendered (if
there is such a thing). God is not looking for those who will walk in weakness;
He is not a God of weakness, which is why the bible encourages believers to
always stand strong.
The worshippers that God
seeks worship Him in spirit and in truth. Such worshippers walk faithfully with
God. I cannot imagine somebody not walking faithfully with God claiming to be
walking in spirit and in truth.
There is something quite
encouraging about walking faithfully with God. A person who walks faithfully
with God never dies; instead, God takes them away. Isn’t that a refreshing view
of death?
Walk faithfully with
God daily. Will you? Won’t you?
