Bible in one year: Psalms 103-105

Memorise: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Genesis 5:24

Read: Genesis 5:22-24

True lovers enjoy each other’s company and fellowship. When one lover has the opportunity to spend time with the other and for any reason missed that opportunity, he will not feel comfortable. God loves to fellowship with man. This has been so from the very beginning. God created man to fellowship with Him. This was why He created man in His own image and likeness. He wanted fellowship from man and not from animals or inanimate objects. He enjoyed coming to meet and fellowship with Adam in the cool of the day. How He cherished it! It became a daily appointment He never missed. Then imagine His disappointment when He came one day to the same place of meeting in the garden and Adam was nowhere to be found. So He began to search for him (Genesis 3:8-10). In spite of Adam’s fall, fellowship was what made God to shed blood so that he could be forgiven. After that, God needed another person to continue from where Adam stopped. He kept searching until He found Enoch.

In Genesis 5:22-24, it was repeated twice that Enoch walked with God. He walked with God for at least 300 years! The fellowship was so intense that God had to call him to glory to continue the fellowship there. During Sunday school, a child was asked to explain the story of Enoch and he said whenever God comes to visit Enoch, the latter will escort God. And when it is time for Enoch to return home, God will escort him. Then one day, they just kept walking until they got so close to Heaven that God told him not to go back. They walked together into Heaven. It may sound childish but any seeker of truth will know that this is a revelation from God. How is it with your walk with God? Do you have a regular time to fellowship with God? Some believers of several years do not have a standing altar of fellowship with God as a family. This is wrong. God wants to be intimate with you. Open yourself and family to God and create time for regular fellowship with Him.

Ask that every hater of God in your church and extended family be turned into a God lover.
