Enoch was not found:
Hebrews 11:5'He could not be found...
Enoch could not be found on earth, Genesis 5:24: This Old Testament passage confirms the account: "And Enoch walked with God, and then he was no more, because God had taken him away".
Enoch was "taken up" by God to spare him from death, so he "could not be found", people were unable to locate him. Likewise, God has to totally lift us up away from ‘earthly stuff’ and transport us to a place of divine presence. Anybody listening? Somehow these words impacted me a lot! A person who has had an encounter with Jesus, who has surrendered his life 100 percent to God and now getting to know God deeper should never have anything to do with the world. Anybody listening? The Bible says: James 4:4 “You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.” You can almost feel the heat in this verse, look how the verse starts ‘You adulterous people’! Scary! However, believers don’t seem to mind the serious note of God behind these words, He wants His children to be separated, are you listening? Mingling and mixing with the wrong crowd brings woes!
In the bank where I worked before joining as full time servant for the Lord, they would take us to the theatres, would arrange parties and also take us out of station; however, my mentor aunty would say, ’you cannot go to such parties, there would be booze and worldly stuff that would affect your children.’ I did hesitate for a while, greedy for the goodies that were offered but very quickly I repented and obeyed my mentor. Until the day I resigned and even after that ‘my family and I never attended such parties even if it means loss.’ I think of how Enoch could not be found…..
There are ‘smoking zones’ in corporate sectors, a child of God should never be found in such areas, there are prohibited areas where demons would fill the air, believers should never foolishly venture into such areas. Stay away from idols," with the command appearing in several passages, such as 1 John 5:21 which says, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols". Leviticus 19:4 instructs the Israelites, "Do not turn aside to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I, the LORD, am your God".
Luke 24:53”and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.”
Abiding in His presence and hiding inside the shelter of His wings is the best place ever in this world today! I mean it. The moment you come out, you have the TV, internet, Facebook, gym, mobile, emails, huge gamut of friends, food and what not to snatch you away from Him. Don’t disregard this message, many have strayed away from God for frivolous reasons and then they beat their chests later on for having lost flavour in their life.
