DAY 48 – THE SECRET OF WALKING WITH GOD
God is looking for not only a clinging bride but also a walking partner. From the very beginning, God had a relationship with Adam and Eve that found them “walking in the garden in the cool of the day” (Genesis 3:8). God created man for the enjoyment of walking relationship that involved companionship, dialogue, intimacy, joint decision-making, mutual delight and shared dominion. God longs to walk with you, which is why His arms of grace have been pulling you into a closer walk with Him.
The goal we’re after is an everyday walk of unbroken communion with our lord and friend. Enoch was the first man in the bible who walked with God. When the zeal of God captures you, it will ignite you with a great passion to walk with God and to be His friend. As you draw close to God, He will not likely take you up to heaven as He did Enoch. However, He desire to reveal the beauty of His face to you. As we walk with Him, He will open the Scriptures to us through the spirit of wisdom and revelation and reveal to us the light of the glory of God that is to be found in Him.
When we walk with God, we enter the dimension where God unfolds the secrets of His kingdom. God wants to walk with us before He works through us. So He will wait to act until He finds the right man or woman through whom He can work. There are some examples of great men in the Bible that walked and partner with God, these include; Noah, Joseph, Moses, Elijah, Samuel, Daniel and our lord Jesus Christ. When God has a useful vessel that has been prepared for noble purposes, He will use that vessel.
The Secret place is where we develop a walking relationship with God. Our inner chamber with Him becomes our training ground for a life that is rooted and grounded in love. Jesus told us that He confides His kingdom purposes to His friends (John 15:15).
Gently say this prayer in your heart; Lord, I want to be your friend, your confidant, loyal to the death. I want to walk with you, talk with you, listen to you, hear your heart, and participate in your activities in this momentous hour. Teach me lord, to walk with you!
