There are several people mentioned in the Bible to have a consistent walk with God, beginning with Enoch in Genesis 5:24. Noah who was described as “a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time as he walked faithfully with God," Genesis 26:9. Walking with God should be every believer’s desire and Micah 6:8 gives us a glimpse into God’s desire for us. "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". Walking with God is not an activity reserved for a select few, God desires all of His children to walk with Him. Walking with God daily is not a walk in the park, it demands perseverance, it not a race but a life long journey.
In his book Pilgrim’s Progress, John Bunyan wrote that a Christian makes his way from the city of destruction to the Celestial City, the story represents a journal of his starts and stops, his ups and downs, his victory and defeats, depicting a Christian life as a journey of life. Walking with God offers outstanding benefits in this world and in that which is to come. For instance, all-round security, protection, breakthroughs are all guaranteed walking with God (Isaiah 45:1-3). Above all, eternity with Chrit and everlasting life is guaranteed as we walk with God on this side of eternity (Revelations 7:15-16; 21:4; 22:3-4).
I can confidently say then that one cannot walk with God and be defeated by the enemy of God or man (Romans 8:31) It is impossible to be walking with God and lack joy and good life because joy is one the evidence of our walk with God (Psalm 16:11). Walking with God commands automatic open doors anywhere no matter the oppositions (Psalm 24:7-10). A reminder again, that walking with God is not like a stroll with a friend in the park, it is a spiritual walk and a walk with the Hol Spirit who is the Lord of your life (Galatians 5:24-25). A walk with God that is describe in the past tense could lead to eternal destruction. Our walk with God is a daily walk and must remain in the present tense, fresh, renewed, persevere and consistent.
Amos 3:3 “Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?”
