A walk with God is a walk in Faith

Greetings Saints in the wonderful name of Jesus.

I know I have been quiet for a while, a lot has been happening and the Lord has His ways and you know each and everyday God loves us so much that He makes sure that nothing is ever hidden from His sight.

Today I would like to share with you a theme that is, “A walk with God is a walk in Faith”

Each and everyday you will find individuals that wonder where is God, because at the time, life is not good. Life is not what they think is suppose to be, sometimes it happens just because we feel empty (We do not feel His presence). At times it is just that we are depressed, feeling lonely and not cared for. Sometimes we just know that we were stronger than this, we use to do better than this, and life was good but now all is going the other way. Sometimes everything just seems like a mess, one part of your life seems like it’s being held by the devil, but today is different, today just change that mind set.

Today my heart has been led to share on the theme “A walk with God is a walk in Faith”

Before we go any further let us look at the book of Genesis 5:21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. ²² After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters.”

This man is an example of a man that walked with God. When talking about walking with God we should have an image of walking with someone who created the way we are to walk (Imagine the privilege of walking with the Author of the road you walk), someone who knows the way, someone who foresees everything on this way that we walk. This means the Lord trusted Enoch, coz even though sin had come through man, but God choose to walk with this man, even though man had done wrong before God but God choose to walk with this man. God has chosen to walk with you as well.

Read the book of Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” 6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”

God had faith in Enoch; He walked with him for 300 years. Which brings me to conclude that God and this man had gained each other’s trust, God trusted Enoch and Enoch trusted God that he would walk with Him for so many years. God was full of love for him and he loved walking with God. God never left Him coz this man walked faithfully. These man were like friends, Father and son, they had great fellowship between them selves. That is exactly what the Lord wants from you today, for you to have fellowship with Him, for you to love Him, for you to put your trust in Him, Have faith in Him.

This man walked with God in Faith, having Faith in the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we walk by faith, not by sight”. This man walked with God by faith, even though things were there in his sight but he was faithful unto God coz he was walking by faith, ask yourself “do you walk by faith and not by sight” When things seem wrong where is your faith, when life seems to have no life, what do you see. People give up, people turn from God coz they are in pain, we loose hope but still say we have faith in God, what is this faith that we have when we can’t hold on to it.

“I don’t care what is going on in your life; I don’t care what went wrong, why and how. I don’t care because I have faith, I don’t care coz to me all is well, I don’t care coz I walk not by sight but by faith, I don’t care coz I have hope. I don’t care coz all I see is good all I see is what I believe that the Lord is, I see no bad, I see God glorified in me, I see the devil lying to me and forming delusions, I see God prospering me despite everything. I see the things in my heart being fulfilled, I see the things I hope for manifesting, I thanks God for everything.” To do this we just have to believe, have faith

Let’s all read from the Gospel of Mark 11: 22 “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.  24Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

Jesus said, “Have faith in God”, how can you walk with some one who you don’t have faith in, someone you don’t believe coz that means he can back stab you. But Jesus says have faith in God. He goes on and say’s who so ever says to this mountain, this was not directed to Peter but he says who so ever, me and you can also say it, but He says we should be without doubt but have one thing, believe in our hearts. Coz he first said, “Have faith in God.” He goes on and says what ever we desire when we pray; he says believe that you receive them and you shall have them. That is walking in Faith, having faith in the one you walk with. The Lord of Lords, King of Kings, your Creator.

Just imagine what life Enoch had, walking with a Lord like ours. Look Noah the word says he walked faithfully with God; Look at what God gave him, the life that God had with him. That my brother and sister is the Lord you walk with today, a faithful God. “Have faith in God” Sometimes life is not what you expected; sometimes it doesn’t go the way we planned. We go ways we never thought we would, things that we never thought could happen take part but with faith you can change that, it is not my faith nor your brothers faith but it is your faith, you having faith in God, you believing in Him, you having faith in the countless promises that the Lord has set aside for you.

Even Abraham walked a long way with God, in Long way He walked God was faithful. Faith in God is everything, walking with God is everything. Abraham was made righteous only because he believed, he was made righteous by faith. Let’s read the Book of Genesis 15:6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness. Just by believing having faith he was made righteous, the promise had not yet been manifested but he just believe; the manifestation of the word in your life comes through faith, if God counted the faith of Abraham to righteousness then why not you. Yes nothing has happened yet, yes it has not yet come to pass, but how will it do so when you don’t have faith, why do you want to see it happen before you believe. Don’t you trust God, don’t you have faith in Him

When walking by faith we see not the worldly but that which is in our faith, we see that which we believe, that which we hope for. We see done what is not yet in the sight but because we walk by faith and not by sight.

 Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”

This explains clearly what faith is to us, it is confidence in what we hope for, believing in what we expect to happen, having our hearts set that it will happen, it goes and says assurance about what we do not see, in some versions it is noted as evidence of things unseen but in your heart your see them, in your heart you have assurance that they will come to pass. That is faith for you my brother and sister, in verse 6 it says it is difficult to please God without faith, study this chapter and ask the Lord to reveal it to you.

We were all given a privilege to walk with, God everyday in our lives. Coz if you read the book of John 1 it explains well who Christ was before He came to be flesh. So when you accept Christ in your life, you are in other words allowing God to be with you everyday, you are accepting walking with God like He walked with Enoch but this is all through faith, that is why the scripture tells us that it is difficult to please God without faith, coz to accept Him you have to have faith, if then you don’t have faith today does that please your God, if you doubt Him that does that please Him.

Let us look at Christ when he walked carrying the cross, He knew that God was with Him coz without God he could not do any of that, when He felt that the presence of the Lord was not with Him was when He cried and God could hear that it is His Son crying. The Book of Ephesians clearly states that we are sons and daughters in God, adopted through Christ, then tell me if God wouldn’t here you when you cry. We have to hold on to faith even when times seem to be hard, even when things go wrong, in your Job things might not be well, in your studies things might not be well, finances might not be well, in your family things might be looking bad.

Matthew 27:46 “About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (Which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”)

Even when thing went bad Christ had faith, He believed in His Father. Such that He emphasizes it and say “My God, my God why have you forsaken me?” coz He believed that God could never leave him. Today God is with you and wants you to know that He is still there no matter what, but all He wants is, “Have faith in God”, for you to trust in Him, even if things have been bad but this is the day everything changes, this is the day that the Lord has set for you, not anyone else but for you.

I don’t care what is going on or what has been happening by I want you to know, by faith you can be made righteous, coz we are justified by faith, We are made clean by faith, we receive by faith.

I want to ask you today to walk by faith and not by sight, doesn’t matter if it seems nothing will ever get better but through faith everything is okay. You are not walking alone, by faith we walk with God. We are in His presence always; we are with Him always but all this by faith. Today lets walk with God, victory is in Him, our treasures are in Him, even if we had lost Joy but with Him all is restored our struggles are no longer ours because we walk with Him.

May The Lord who we walk with keep you blessed.
