Title: Walking with God!

-
Scripture focus: “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.” (Genesis 5:24).

Devotion: Walking with God is a timeless call, seen in both the Old and New Testaments. It is a life of faith, obedience, and intimacy with Him.  
These patriarchs walked with God in obedience, faith, charity, loving kindness and service. 
- Enoch –  His walk led to eternal fellowship.  
- Noah – “Noah was a righteous man… and he walked faithfully with God.” (Genesis 6:9). His obedience preserved humanity.  
- Abraham – Called “the friend of God” (James 2:23), his faith made him the father of nations.  
 - Jesus Christ – The perfect example of walking with God. He said, “I always do what pleases Him.” (John 8:29). His obedience brought salvation to the world.  
- Paul the Apostle – He declared, “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 11:1). His walk with God transformed him from persecutor to preacher, leaving a legacy of faith through his letters.  
- Peter – Though he stumbled, he walked with Christ and became a pillar of the early church. His journey shows that walking with God includes restoration and growth.  
- Early Believers – The church in Acts “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” (Acts 2:42). Their walk with God brought unity, miracles, and bold witness.  

These are the outcomes of Walking with God  
- Transformation – Saul became Paul, Peter became a fearless leader; both became great evangelists and won thousands of should for Christ.
- Fruitfulness – The early church grew and spread the gospel worldwide.  
- Eternal Reward – Jesus promised, “To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne.” (Revelation 3:21).  

Reflection: Walking with God is not about perfection but persistence. Whether patriarchs of old or apostles of the New Testament, their lives show that intimacy with God leads to favor, transformation, and eternal joy.  

Today, let us walk with God by faith, guided by His Spirit, and our lives will echo the testimony of those who went before us. Share your thoughts here and feel free to share this with your contacts. ©Dr. Joel Olanrewaju, gbemide09@gmail.com.

Title: Divine Acceleration.

Genesis 41:40-41  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. Devotion: Have you ever felt like your dreams are taking too long to come true? Like you're walking a slow path while others seem to be racing ahead? Take heart—God is a God of acceleration!

Title: Wisdom from God.

Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.
