TEXT HEBREWS 11:5-6
TOPIC : FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: .....
Beloved, I once asked the Holy spirit what Enoch did that earned him this manner of translation.
The Holy spirit said, can't you see that he pleased God.
So what did he do to please God?
Little children are constantly seeking for what one did but as we get older, we will start knowing that what one did not do might actually matter more to the spirits.
Enoch did not take part in iniquity.
He did not lie, he did not steal, he did not commit adultery, he did not join hand with the wicked.
He did not cover sin in order to be politically correct.
He was not an empire builder.
Last Sunday one of the elders in our church did not come to church.
He was disappointed at the rape on democracy that happened the day before.
He expected that the fathers of faith in our country would rise up in condemnation of this disaster, but no one spoke.
Those who do not speak against evil end up looking like collaborators and cowards.
To fight the good fight of faith is to risk our gains and comfort in order to please God.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not
bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
