White Walk

 “After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” Genesis 5:22-24 NKJV

The relationship of men in the antediluvian dispensation with God can be simply classified into two categories, namely white walk and wicked walk. Based on the consequences of the fall of man, many characters stood out with pride during this dispensation for their passion for unrighteousness, wickedness, and evil. But contrary to the lot on wicked walk, Enoch and Noah stood out with a simple acknowledgment of their white walk as ‘…walked with God!’; and God literally took away both of them from the ‘wicked’ lot. As the New Year starts, believers are encouraged to acknowledge the ugly influences of the ‘wicked walk’ in the past year, and begin an amazing ‘white walk’ with God. When we walk with the Lord in the light of His words through the trenches of our career engagements, business and ministerial commitments, family and friend relationships, He will take us away from the stanches of the world’s wicked administration, social injustices and relational mismanagement. Obviously, the white walk is the simple and strategic way of walking and talking with God, while dutifully engaged in social, political, and economic relationships without being taken away by the wicked world.
