Who can walk?

Our text of consideration:

Genesis 5:8

  "And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."

Enoch walked with God and he could not be found, he could not be found not because he had stopped walking-but he could not be found because he was now walking in a different world, a dimension inaccessible to human perception and reasoning.

Many of us can sing and shout, praise and preach but the question is, who can walk?

Who can walk when times are hard, nights are long and hours even longer?

Who can walk when in moments of distress and heartache, we succumb to the numbing and life exhausting peril of unbelief?

The pertinent question is whether you can walk where others have failed to even stand?

Can you walk where many have failed to even sit?

I want to take some time to look at the nature and scope of walking:

1: Walking is not a position, but rather a transition! 

               The difference between a "position" and a "transition".....

A position is informed by a tendency of being stationary! While on the other hand a transition is characterised by movement and momentum!

A man who walks can never be where he was yesterday, simply because walking displaces someone with respect to distance and geography!

With each day that you continue to walk, you get closer to your divine destiny - walking can never be backwards!

Walking has no pace - in other words, no man can dictate the rate at which you ought to walk, simply because walking is not a competition. 

We all walk differently yet what is of importance is that we all reach our respective destinations, irrespective of who began and who was the last to begin!

Lastly, it is the nature and not the length of the walk that matters!

When you walk with God, the manner in which you walk is determined by your attitude towards the journey - Begin to take your journey with God seriously and you will reach greater heights never before explored by any man!
