The Beginning of Our Walk With God (Part 2)

So we have started our walk with God and we have committed to reading specific portions of the word at specific times with the help of the Holy Spirit ( “seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and He will add….). The sins we do, have now started to make us feel uncomfortable, so we adjust on our own or we allow God to reshape us. There are three things to remember at this point, that 1) the devil will try everything to trip us up and to destroy every plan that God has for us. 2) If we are in doubt as to whether or not a particular thing or action will displease God, then exclude it, leave it out! 3) That obedience is greater than sacrifice.

When the questions start coming to our mind, we must pray about them, continue to read the word and God will lead us to the answers. One question that will arise is, what is my purpose, what can I do for God? Persons like Jeremiah and Samuel were predestined from they were in there mother’s womb (Jer.1:4-10 and 1Samuel 1:10-20), while Paul was called at a much later stage of his life Acts 9. We can know our purpose for God by the different types of gift(s) He has given us and also the anointing to function with those gifts. We can know our purpose by what we are drawn to do or what we feel fired up to do for God. We can walk into our purpose by :- (1) associating with persons who will pull us or help us in the direction we should go, (2) being given the opportunity to take the lead or to function on our own.

At the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh, the law (also called Moses’ law) was fulfilled by Him and condensed into one word, love. St.Matthew 22:36-40. If we love God with everything inside us, then it would be impossible to worship false god or anything else but God. If we love our neighbour as ourselves, then we could do no harm to any person.

As we continue our walk with God, we will walk more by faith, we will learn to endure long suffering while becoming soldiers for Christ, teaching and sustaining others instead of being sustained by them. The word of God says that “he that endureth to the end shall be saved”, which means that although we have given our lives to God, we still have to recognize current or future failings and to repent of them while humbly and constantly going before God.

We must remember and honour our covenant with God as He will return for our words as He did Daniel (Daniel 10:11-12). Being lazy or selfish with our salvation should never be an option for any of us.
