*NO ATTACHMENT*
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
_Genesis 5: 24_
Enoch walked with God and one day, God took him away from the world. This is something every believer should ponder. How was it that a man was able to go in the direction of the Almighty God, for if they had different views about things their togetherness would not have been possible? What this means is that Enoch chose the path of the LORD and willingly walked in it.
Any one that must walk with God must do so on His path. His path is called RIGHTEOUSNESS. Whoever chooses to move with God must detach from the things of this world. Any form of attachment to anything earth born and bound will bring a division into one's heart. Those who store treasures in Heaven will have their hearts fixed there because men's hearts are where their treasures are. To have your heart in God, invest your life and everything you own in Him.
On the day Enoch was taken, he did not see anything he owned on earth as valuable enough to go with him. Had he considered his earthly possessions as a part of his life, he would have asked The Almighty God to give him some time.
A sister lost a cup she valued so much and as she searched everywhere possible for it, neglecting everything else, The Lord spoke to her. He made her see how attached she had become to a cup and asked whether the cup would go with her in the Rapture. She repented, moved on with her work and asked the Lord to help her find the cup. The next day, the cup was found in a place where the sister had checked the previous day.
Be careful of earthly attachments. Let go of your fears and worries. God is faithful. Don’t ever fight any one because of anything. Walk with God and He will take care of you. When men cheat you, God will lift you because nothing on earth is holding you down. May you walk with God and may your heart be fixed on Heaven like Enoch's.
