[선교사]

 Scripture : Genesis 5: 21. When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. And after he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years. Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. 

Theme : blessing accompanied by God

I want to share God's grace with you having a Theme of blessing accompanied by God .

There were two men of Enoch and Elijah who didn't taste a death but ascended into heaven. I don't want to mention about Elijah. because Elijah is a representative man of the Old testament. He is really great men who don't need any special explanation. but concerning Enoch, there is not much mentioned about him at the Bible. Bible describes about Enoch very short and simple that Enoch walked with God for 300 years and had other sons and daughters. Briefly to say that, Enoch had lived performing only two things that

1st walked with God for 300 years.

2nd had many children.

He had lived simple and common life as ordinary father and husband like us. He must be worked hard for support family. sometimes he might have a troubles for raising their children or sometimes he might have a problem with his wife. then How God took him away. It is a story that you and me also have much possibility to be taken away like Enoch. How great it is? Our Heavenly Father never want us to live complexity or difficult but live

simply as like our natural parents. do you want yr children live complexity or difficult? No I don’t think so. do you know how both God as well as we has a same mind?

Genesis 1: 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, which means the Creator and creatures have same mind originally.

Pls be noted that Enoch began to walk with God when he was 65 years old after he became the father of Methuselah, which means he didn't walk with God from the beginning. Even though you have not walked with God until today, Pls don't be discouraged. you have a hope. All you have to do is to walk with God from this time on.

then, How can we walk with God ?

Prophet Amos 3: 3. Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?

I think you understand the meaning of agreed. Yes it means same and one mind. We could follow and obey the word of God after denying my idea, and my mind. If we insist or want to put our mind ahead of word of God. It couldn't have same and one mind with God.

1. Let us find out about going together.

James 1: 17. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He is invisible.

John 4: 24. God is spirit,

Genesis 2: 24. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

Genesis 2: 7. the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

John 20 : 22. And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit

1Corinthians 6: 17. But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

First of all, I want to compare people who was accompanied by God and wasn't accompanied with God.

There are many people disorder with God though but Adam is a representative at the Old testament and Judas iscariot at the New testament. They were disagreed with God. they obey the evil spirit rather than following the word of God. they were governed by the Evil spirit. Result of disagree have brought death and sorrow and sighing and weeping and all kinds of problems in human. they didn't have same and one mind with God.

Now let us look into the people walked with God.

Abraham, Jacob, David for example, as you might know them well,

they are an ordinary human who made a many mistakes. It is very hard to understand in human's view point what made God bless them too much. but whole of their life is to believe and obey to God. thorough their life is to meet the agreement with God.

one flesh with God in spiritually made them possible to walk with God. The life of going with God is the life filled with full of holy spirit,

1st, keep up meeting,

Going together begins actual meeting and after that keep association is to be achieved

Philippians 1: 5. because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,

If you pray in the spirit then you meet the God, you abide in God. you are closely associated with Him. I wish all of you meet God and be united with Him.

2nd, Have a same and one mind.

Philippians 2:1. then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

It could be possible for us to have a same and one mind to walk with God for a long time. It never be possible if we disagree and disorder each others. we always ask God's will to walk with Him rather than

insist our will nor try to put our mind ahead of God's will.

The secret of accompanied by a beautiful is to ask God's will and follow Him. The record of Enoch's life that only to walked with God and had other sons and daughters for 300 years long.

He had never performed miracles like devide the red sea like Moses, nor destroyed the Jericho castle like Joshua, nor achieved country unification like David.

They are heros of Israelite. They were acted like supermen. but they were all dead after all and their tombs are remaining beside us. But God took Enoch away. what is the secrets for Enoch not to taste a death but took him away. how to make God please.

he must be thank God for the daily bread. he must be thank God for every things regardless big or small. He must be thank God that only God be with him always having same and one mind.

there is no record or trace that He had asked God to give a power, or wealthy and expressed to be a superman. He is a human with sinful nature. why not he wants to became a famous man or rather powerful than ordinary people. This is human's instinct but he was not. that is, he has a same and one mind with God. He must be asked God what God wants to do as daily basis.

I think He knows what is the best way in life.

everyone, I wish you have same and one mind with God and walk with God all the day of your life. for this, pray God as Ephesians 6: 18. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Jesus bewailed that

Matthew 11:16. "To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: "`We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.'

Sharing sorrow and joyous with God and others is real life of accompany. we can't do anything if don't have same and one mind with God and our neighbors. there is nothing we can do if our mind is splitted with God and each others like Adam Eve and Juda Iscarit.

I don't know what God has a plan for everyone of you but hoping all of you to ask God what He wants you to do rather than ahead of your human desire. then God will walk with you wherever you go like Enoch and will bless all beautiful gifts.
