THE HIDDEN BOLD STEPS PART 2
Welcome beloved steemians, last time, two days ago to be precise we looked on how one can be mindful of his/steps here on earth 🌏 especially when we have known that life is bigger than the understanding of mortality, join me today in our second journey of bold steps.
I delight to drop a link below in case you want to read from the previous part.
The goal of the virtue in us is conformity with the image of Christ. Becoming physical expression of the man from Galilee, who was later revealed as the Son of God. Yesterday we touched on a very important scripture that should help us point our compasses to God's North.
Gen 5:24 says "And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." We have dealt with the meaning of 'walking with God', today we will touch on what it means when the verse says 'he was not'. He makes reference to Enoch. So, Enoch walked with God; and Enoch was no more. Enoch had his own individual identity! What makes a person unique is the sum total of the person's unique experiences from his immediate environment and we are each a product of those experiences. Family, friends, peers, educational institutions, teachers, religious beliefs, the workplace, etc all these feed into the psyche of the individual. Enoch was an individual, with his own ideology, conscience and shortcomings, yet he followed God.
In some assemblies they are taught, 'you can't come to the Father until you are spiritually 'spotless'' - that is not Christianity. They teach 'God can't use you because of your addictions' - those who say such things have not known the Lord or are they acquainted with the Spirit.
Enoch walked with God: and he (Enoch) was not. O, Glory to God!!! What does this mean? Brother/sister, keep walking with God; stay your gaze on Him; refuse to look back at your 'Sodom'; keep walking in the direction of the Lord. As you do, you will be changed daily into the very image of the Lord. As we walk away with Him, we lose our individuality; we let go of the things we have learnt all those years. As we do, we'll soon leave the bad for the good; then we walk some more, we leave the good for the better; then our individual nature would be NO MORE. Soon, Christ will be in all and seen in all.
NEVER BE ASHAMED OF TAKING THESE BOLD STEPS WITH HIM.
