IMPLICATIONS OF WALKING WITH GOD

Few days ago, using Enoch as a study we understood what it means/entails in walking with God; shortly we shall look at the implications of walking with God, but firstly, we should understand that God desires all of His children to walk with Him.

Walking with God connotes friendship with God as only friends walk together

When friends walk together they talk and share with each other

This goes beyond coming to Church every Sunday or any meeting or programme at all

Walking with a close friend requires separating oneself from the company of other people or things that may distract or are in opposition – Ps.1: 1-3; 2Cor.6: 14-18

Walking with a friend also requires agreement and over time having things in common
– Amos 3: 3

Walking with God implies being like Him– Ps.42:7; Matt.5:48

Walking with God means aligning our will with His –Matt.6:10; 26:42; Rom8:29

Biblically, "walking," refers to a lifestyle as one can walk in the ways of the world –2Kg.8: 27; Eph.2: 2; Col.3: 7

Walking with God is also walking in the Spirit – Gal.5: 16; Rom.8: 4

Walking with God implies overcoming the flesh - Rom.8: 5-8

Walking with God means we choose to glorify Him in every way we can, regardless of personal cost – Matt.16: 24; 1Cor.10: 31

It is not difficult to identify people who walk with God. Their lives are a contrast to the world around them, they shine like stars in a nighttime sky – Phil.2:15

Those who walk with God produce the fruit of the Spirit (Gal.5: 22) and not the works of the flesh (Gal.5: 19-21)

When we walk with God every day, the world cannot help but recognize that we have been with Jesus, in spite of our imperfections and lack of knowledge in some areas e.g.Peter & John – Acts 4:13

No doubts, God bless those who walk with Him
