A MAN FOUND IN GOD

InSpired
THE MAN NOT FOUND ON EARTH BUT FOUND IN GOD

There is something beautiful and worth mentioning about the Saint called Enoch.

The Bible named Enoch as a man of faith who walked with and whose walk was pleasing to God. Hebrews 11:6

The Bible did not mentioned if Enoch heal any man like Elisah did, raised the dead as Elijah did. Enoch did not fight any battle as Moses, Joshua, David did yet he was a man whose lifestyle pleased the LORD so well that HE WALKED WITH GOD IN UNBROKEN FELLOWSHIP FOR 300 YEARS and did not experienced death though it is appointed to all men to die.

We must by the grace and help of God discover what God has called you to do and stay put at your duty post even if it is not popular and glamorous. 

Truly sons live to.do the bidding of the Father even if it means death on a cross like our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Death does not mean martyrdom but it may mean death to self and self ambition.

In these 300 years, God showed him secrets of the Kingdom that happened thousands of years after God took him and he was no more.
Enoch prophesied about the coming of the Lord

"Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” Jude 14

Enoch gained access to events that happened thousands of years after he ceased to live in his previous location ( because the Bible says , he did not see death) because he walked with God.

Like Elijah, Enoch was born (because you have to be born to have the legal right to operate on earth) but God took him away from the earth but certainly not through the instrumentality of death.

Seven generations before Enoch were not true WITNESSES of men and women who walked with God and pleased Him.

Enoch showed Heaven by his choices and his seeking God that It is possible to walk with God; please God, not rebel against God and His way.

Enoch witness allowed Heaven and God to require the same diligent walk with Him from another mortal called Abraham in Genesis 17:1

"When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am GOD Almighty; WALK BEFORE ME FAITHFULLY and be blameless."

Enoch in his generation, walked with God by faith though there was no record of anyone who by faith sought out the Almighty and pleased Him in previous generations.

Enoch by faith created an opening on the earth for his grandson Noah to become the chosen through which the Earth and it's creatures were preserved in Noah's generation

Enoch by faith became a witness to the possibility of walking in a different path of a life that please God even if others before you did not do so 

Enoch become a witness that gives boldness to generations after him that you can walk with God for 300 years in unbroken fellowship even if darkness covers the earth and gross darkness it's people. 

He did not see God, we don't know if God spoke to him face to face like he did with Moses yet by his walk prompted by faith, he became a true WiTNESS ON EARTH. 

"By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11;5-6

I pray God will give us the grace and perservsnce to keep on seeking Him as God's love sought us out.

Yes, there may be challenges and opposition but the Bible says " in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Christ our LORD.

Christ In Your Heart

HOW TO ATTAIN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP  WITH GOD AND MAN Christ is called the Anointed One, which symbolisies that He was a man under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8 reveals that the Holy Spirit can lead a man which is the Holy Spirit guiding and directing the activities, decisions and thoughts of the Man through the written and spoken Word. But when the Holy Spirit is leading a man, the man has the absolute ability to say No to the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow his own inclinations. But there is a higher dimension of  relationship with the Holy Spirit which is state of absolute surrender that is exemplified by the life of The LORD of Host Himself: Jesus Christ, The LORD and Saviour of the Earth..
