INTRODUCTION:
Walking with God is more than a one-time encounter; it is a daily, continuous journey of intimacy, obedience, and faith. When we walk with Him, we are aligned with His will, empowered by His Spirit, and guided by His wisdom to live impactful lives.
The Bible describes men like Enoch and Noah as those who walked with God, and their lives were marked by extraordinary testimonies. Enoch walked so closely with God that he was taken without tasting death, while Noah walked with God and became the instrument of salvation for his generation.
Beloved, if you want to live a life of exploits, you must walk with the God of exploits. This walk requires faith, surrender, and consistent fellowship. It is not a casual relationship but a deep commitment that transforms every area of our lives.
1. WALKING WITH GOD REQUIRES AGREEMENT
For two to walk together, there must be agreement in direction, purpose, and values.
a) Agreement in faith (Hebrews 11:6): Faith is the foundation for walking with God because we must believe He exists and rewards seekers.
b) Agreement in obedience (Deuteronomy 28:1): Obedience to God’s voice is the key to aligning with His will.
c) Agreement in holiness (1 Peter 1:15-16): Walking with God demands a life of purity and separation from sin.
d) Agreement in love (John 14:23): Love for God compels us to keep His commandments and walk in fellowship with Him.
Biblical Example: Enoch walked with God in agreement until he was taken, bypassing death and entering glory (Genesis 5:24).
2. WALKING WITH GOD PRODUCES INTIMACY
The more you walk with God, the deeper your fellowship and communion with Him becomes.
a) Intimacy through prayer (Luke 18:1): Constant communication with God strengthens our relationship.
b) Intimacy through the Word (Psalm 119:105): God’s Word is a guide that keeps us in fellowship with Him.
c) Intimacy through worship (John 4:23-24): True worship connects us with God’s heart and presence.
d) Intimacy through the Spirit (Romans 8:14): The Spirit leads us into closer walk and fellowship with God.
Biblical Example: Moses enjoyed intimacy with God, speaking with Him face to face, which produced supernatural exploits in his ministry (Exodus 33:11).
3. WALKING WITH GOD BRINGS DIVINE DIRECTION
Walking with God ensures that we are guided in the right path and never stranded in life.
a) Direction through divine presence (Exodus 33:14): God’s presence guarantees rest and guidance.
b) Direction through the Spirit (John 16:13): The Spirit of truth leads us into all truth and shows us things to come.
c) Direction through divine counsel (Isaiah 30:21): God instructs us on the way to go when we walk with Him.
d) Direction through divine wisdom (James 1:5): Walking with God supplies wisdom for life’s decisions.
Biblical Example: Abraham walked with God, and divine direction led him into covenant blessings and generational impact (Genesis 12:1-4).
4. WALKING WITH GOD EMPOWERS FOR EXPLOITS
Exploits are the natural result of those who consistently walk with God, because they carry His power and authority.
a) Empowerment through faith (Mark 9:23): All things become possible when you walk in faith with God.
b) Empowerment through authority (Luke 10:19): Walking with God gives believers power over the enemy.
c) Empowerment through boldness (Acts 4:13): Intimacy with God produces courage to confront challenges.
d) Empowerment through fruitfulness (John 15:5): Walking with Christ ensures we bear lasting fruit.
Biblical Example: The Apostles walked with Jesus, and after His resurrection, they did mighty exploits through the power of His Spirit (Acts 5:12-16).
CONCLUSION:
Walking with the God of exploits is a lifestyle that guarantees supernatural strength, direction, and victories. It demands faith, intimacy, and obedience. The closer you walk with Him, the more you experience His power at work in your life.
Beloved, God is calling us not just to admire exploits but to walk with Him so that exploits become our daily reality. Take deliberate steps to deepen your walk with Him, and your life will become a channel of His glory.
