Text: Micah 6:8
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
One of the keys to nurturing a relationship is communication. When two friends enjoy a walk together down a road, they are in close proximity and talk as they go, they listen to each other, rub minds and share secrets. When you love to be around someone, it shows you are in agreement. You respect each other’s do’s and don’ts. Walking with God is like that. When we enter into an intimate heart relationship with God through faith in His Son, He becomes our heart’s greatest desire.
When you walk with God He becomes your greatest Ally fighting your battles for you and ensuring victory all the way.
Walking with God is actually a primary duty of Man, and it should be done with humility. Micah 6:8 says, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
There are certain things that can strain a relationship. It is wise to identify and eliminate them. Ensure that “Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31.
If you walk with a chain smoker for quite a while, even if you don’t smoke, your clothes will smell of it. When the Sanhedrin saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13.
Similarly, when you spend quality time with God, His glory, honour and blessings rub on you. God’s ways are reflected in our thoughts, our actions, our motivations, and our life choices because we spend so much time with Him.
Prayer Nugget: Father, I ask for the grace to consistently walk with you in Jesus name.
