DCLM Sincere Milk 6 October 2022 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Walk with God
TOPIC: WALK WITH GOD
TEXT: GENESIS 5:19-24
19And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
20And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
21And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
22And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Key Verse: “And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him” (Genesis 5:24).
MESSAGE:
The story of Enoch is one of the most interesting ones in the Bible. A man whose whole thoughts, words and actions in the day and night, outside and inside, pleased God. He was so close to God that God longed for his company from time to time.
God then took him to heaven. His actions on earth qualified him to escape the power of death. Yet, the people who lived in his time were very bad and wicked in their thoughts and actions.
There are many people who put the blame of their wicked actions on other people. Some children put the fault of their ungodly lifestyle on their parents, and some people blame the society they are living in.

But Enoch made a personal choice. So it should be with you. We don’t go to heaven holding hands together. You must, by God’s grace and faith in Christ, ensure that your walk – your daily total activities in this evil world, pleases God always.
You must choose to be a devoted reader and doer of the Word, a fervent prayer warrior, a lover of righteousness. You must be a cheerful giver, always telling others about the love of Jesus. You must have a heart that is thirsty for heaven.
You too can walk with God in School, at home and everywhere. You will then experience heaven on earth and be qualified for the rapture.
Prayer: I want to love You with all my heart wherever I go; therefore, help me Lord.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
