Walk with God and be perfect!

 

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. Genesis 17:1

 

The Lord told Abraham to walk with Him and not work for Him. There is no way you will walk with God and not work for God. But you can work for God and not walk with God. You need to understand the two, walking with God is your private relationship and fellowship you have with the Lord. This is what people don’t see. whereas working for God are the services you do in church or anywhere that people notice. A christian is required to work and walk with God at the same time. 

What’s next if you walk with God? 

After God told Abraham to walk with Him, He said He should be perfect. Being perfect alludes to total holiness and purity. You and I can be perfect, many think it is impossible but it is possible because the Lord commanded us to be. 

What follows if you fulfilled these instructions?

The lord promised Abraham that if He walk with Him and in holiness, He will make a new covenant with Him and He will multiply Him exceedingly. The preceding verse, Genesis 17:2 ’And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.’ Enoch walked with God, and God made a covenant that Enoch will not see death. Genesis 5:24. Even when God had initially cursed man to return back to dust. 

Dear reader, am sure you are so blessed this morning by the word. Walk with God and be perfect. The blessings attached to this instruction is beyond what you can comprehend. God bless you.
