The Man Who Walked With God and Disappeared

-

"How does one begin to walk with God? Walking with God is no rocket science..." 

“Enoch walked faithfully with God” (Genesis 5:24) Wait! “What does that really mean? What does “walked “ really mean?” Perhaps looking up the Hebrew root word translated in English as “walk” could be useful here. Who knows what deep meaning could be unearthed, right?
Well, how about I ask you “What else can it mean?” If you read in the news tomorrow “President Akufo-Addo was seen walking with President John Mahama”, what will you imagine except to see the two of them literally walking together? Enoch “walked” with God. This phrase is a common one used in Eastern countries to denote “constant and familiar intercourse.”¹ That means he was seen on literal walks having constant communication with God. And he did that faithfully. The New Living Translation of Genesis 5:23-24 reads, “Enoch lived..., walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him.”  Enoch went on walks conversing with God! And this was a constant practice throughout his life! This is the simple literal meaning you should pick from Genesis 5.24. This is what the writer wanted to tell you. 
But of course, how can two walk together unless they are in agreement with each other? (Amos 3.3). So we can say, Enoch and God had a mutual friendship, mutual understanding between them and were fond of each other — hence the walks. In simple terms, Enoch lived in close fellowship/friendship with God, taking walks that he and God agreed to do together. This was the most striking thing the Bible could record about Enoch’s 365 years life on earth. Shouldn’t that strike you as something you should learn to do?
Friends like to walk together. Lovers love to walk together. Family love to walk together. Soldiers feel safer walking together. Work colleagues take lunch breaks together. What relationship exist between you and God today? Is He your friend? Is He your Father? If He is, then why don’t you begin to walk with Him today. Believe me, God will love it; and so will you!
How does one begin to walk with God? Walking with God is no rocket science. You just have to move around from Point A to B while talking with God—simple! You can start by meditating on the Scriptures, the nature and attributes of God, Worship, Thanksgiving, singing to Him or simply considering His works.
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. (Psalms 19:1, NIV)
 Try it today! Get up and go for a walk with God today! Deepen your relationship with God by taking walks. Enjoy!

    If God asked you to take a daily walk with Him—no noise, no rush—what would you need to let go of first?

Prophecy, the Middle East, and What We Must Do Now

 “We should not just sit and watch the news in fear. Instead, we must take these three steps...” If you have been watching the news today, you know that something very big is happening. Reports have confirmed that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in a joint strike by the USA and Israel. Iran is already fighting back with missiles, and Russia has stepped in to support Iran and speak against the attack. For Christians who study the Bible, these events are very important. Jesus talked about this in Matthew 24:6-7 . He warned that there would be " wars and rumors of wars " and that " nations would rise against nations ." While there have always been wars, the size and intensity of what is happening right now is different. It is clear and very serious. Jesus said, “Such things must happen, but the end is still to come” (Matthew 24:6) Many people believe this is leading to a famous prophecy found in Ezekiel 38 and 39 . This prophecy describes a gr...

Prophet El-Bernard vs Prophet Samuel: Using Prophet Samuel to Defend Failed Prophecies

El-Bernard and Prophet Samuel: Did they both miss it? We have all seen the videos circulating this week. A popular prophet, El-Bernard, prophesied a specific victory in the recent NPP Flagbearer elections. But when the votes were counted on Saturday, the result was different. Now, social media is buzzing with defenses. The most popular one is the "Samuel Defense." People are quoting 1 Samuel 16:6 , where the Prophet Samuel looks at Eliab and says, " Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him. " The argument goes: "See? Even the great Prophet Samuel missed it. He got it wrong, so cut the modern prophets some slack." But others have pushed back, arguing that Samuel only thought this—he didn’t say it. So, who is right? It is true that modern translations like the NIV and ESV state that Samuel "thought," but the KJV, NKJV, and ASV all render the word in 1 Samuel 16:6 as "said." This is accurate to the Hebrew because the word used ( amar ) ref...

When an Exception Becomes a Rule: Rethinking Acts 2 and Tongues

-

"To reject modern tongues simply because they do not resemble Acts 2 in being understood by their hearers is to elevate a narrative description over clear apostolic instruction..." One of the most common objections to speaking in tongues today is the claim that biblical tongues must always be intelligible human languages — because in Acts 2, the hearers understood what was spoken in their own languages. Closely related to this is another argument drawn from the same passage: since most human languages are now known, tongues are no longer necessary or relevant today. (I’ll address that particular claim in a separate article. For now, the more pressing question is whether Acts 2 was ever meant to be the sole standard for tongues at all.) “And they were amazed and astonished, saying, ‘Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language?’” (Acts 2:7–8) That objection rests on a selective reading of Scripture. Acts 2 is t...
