SCRIPTURE: And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: Genesis 5:21-22.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Anything in you that will hinder your walk with God is your “Methuselah”.
Enoch was a notable figure in Scripture who walked with God. He was so dedicated to walking with God that God took him to heaven bodily. He never tasted death. His walk with God is worthy of emulation.
Now, one thing is important to note about Enoch’s walk with God.
Genesis 5:21-22 says.
And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
Please take note of: … And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah …
This means, Enoch’s walk with God started after he begat Methuselah. As long as Methuselah was in the loins of Enoch, walking with God was not possible. But when he released Methuselah out of himself, he began to walk with God.
This means, anything in you that will hinder your walk with God is your “Methuselah”. Your “Methuselah” may be an ungodly lifestyle. It may be talkativeness, lying, cheating, lust, greed, deception, fraud, bitterness, un-forgiveness, pride, or arrogance.
Beloved, what is that “Methuselah” in your life that is hindering you from walking with God? What is that ungodly lifestyle that is resisting your walk with God? You must identify it and deal with it. Until you release your “Methuselah”, you cannot walk with God.
Make up your mind to release your “Methuselah” so you can walk with God.
Remember this: Anything in you that will hinder your walk with God is your “Methuselah”.
