Text: Genesis 5:21-24
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
The word of God recorded two souls who never tasted death. At a point in their lives they experienced very Special Divine Moments which marked their glorious exits from this sinful world.
One of them is Enoch. He fathered the oldest man who ever lived. He walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away- Genesis 5:24.
Concerning him, the word of God says, “By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: He could not be found, because God had taken him away; for before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.” Hebrews 11:5
Enoch was a spokesman for God, a prophet who foretold the second coming of the Lord saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” Jude 14-15
He agreed with the principles of God, loving what God loves and hating what he hates. He obeyed God, one day at a time; until his Special Divine Moment came. He was caught up into Heaven to reign forever with the Lord.
Prayer Nugget: Father, like Enoch, please help me to walk with you faithfully on Earth and reign with you eternally in Jesus name.
