Title: like the life of Enoch that pleased God.

Genesis 5:21-24 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. 22 After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. 25 Methuselah
21

Hebrews 11:5-6 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, and was not found, because God had taken him;[a] for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Enoch in todays Scriptures begot his son Methuselah when he was 65 years old and after he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had sons and daughters. If he had sons and daughters for 300 years while he walked with God, he must had many sons and daughters, not just one or two, right?

As we see this fact, we know that people with many children who say they are too busy accompanying their children are just making excuses for themselves.

The conclusion of Enochs life was that not, for God took him.

And Enoch walked with God; and he was

Genesis 5:24
24

And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

Walking with God is not an easy thing to do. Even walking with people who have high status in this world is not easy, do you think walking with God the Creator is easy to follow? It is needless to say how difficult it is.

Walking together cannot be achieved unless two are agreed. Amos 3:3
3

Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?

If two people do not agree then they cannot walk together.

Enoch showed us for certain that man can go to heaven without witnessing death.

Hebrews 11:5-6 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, and was not found, because God had taken him;[a] for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
5

Jesus too talked about the world without death. John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this? 27 She
25

Faith does not know impossibility and therefore we should do all things by faith. Marriage, marriage life, hearing the Word of God and all other things, we must do by faith. In the midst of faith that believes in the Word of God there is no I. When we do not have faith we still have our ego and my thoughts, my ideas, my opinions and stubbornness.

If my thoughts get into the work of God, I will be destroyed for generation after generation and the result is the ticket to hell. What the Bible is teaching us is only the Word of God, only the thoughts of God and the will of God.

Please do all things by faith and cast away your own thoughts. My thoughts are deem to be destroyed and cannot be achieved.

In Hebrews Chapter 11, as the Bible introduces to us the father of faith, it repeatedly says by faith. By faith Moses divided the Red Sea, by faith he stopped rain and by faith he let the rain fall from the sky. In Hebrews, the Bible explains the reason why Enoch was taken up to heaven without seeing death.

Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, and was not found, because God had taken him;[a] for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
5

It means Enoch was taken up from the earth to heaven without seeing death. And he had this testimony that he pleased God before he was taken. This testimony was faith.

I believe you too if you have the testimony that you pleased God while you dwell on this earth will be taken up to heaven without seeing death. Have you lived a life that pleased God as you believe in God until this day?

If you have a small trouble and if your feelings are hurt, did you not talk bad about church and the man of God?

Such work is not the work of believers with faith.

If anything does not go well and if business is ruined, then that is because you have no faith. Mark 9:23 Jesus said to him, If you can believe,[a] all things are possible to him who believes. 24 Immediately
23

What did Jesus say to Thomas who could not believe Jesus resurrection? Jesus said, Do not be unbelieving, but believing. John 20:27 Then He said to Thomas, Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.
27

Hebrews 11:6 . 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. If you do not have faith you cannot be rewarded. The reward which God gives is not the reward made of paper. It is the everlasting life and peace.

In the joint translation Bible, it says Enoch had this testimony, he was acknowledged by God he pleased God. Before we leave this world, we must be acknowledged by God we pleased God. The thing that pleases God is not power nor honour, it is not money nor knowledge. Only by faith one can please God.

Job said not wisdom, nor righteousness nor blameless ways of man cannot please God.

Job 22:2-3 Can a man be profitable to God, Though he who is wise may be profitable to himself?
3

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways blameless?

The only thing that can please God is faith and faith cannot be bought with money. You cannot obtain faith by your good background or by bribing.

If you please God He will grant you what you desire. Psalm 37:4
4

Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Here, it says if we delight ourselves in the Lord, He shall give us the desires of our heart. And Enoch pleased God so that he was granted the desire of his heart which was transfiguration. Why can you not believe this Word of God for certain?

If you please God, He answers your prayer. Job 22:26-27

For then you will have your delight in the Almighty, And lift up your face to God. You will make your prayer to Him, He will hear you, And you will pay your vows.

27

If you please God the Almighty, then there is nothing you cannot do or achieve. The thing in which God pleases is not our good looking faces nor our great wealth. It is not the power that can shake the whole world. God only wants faith that believes in God and is pleased only by faith.

I bless you with the name of the Lord all of you who are accepting this Word of God become such man of faith.

We truly need to believe in God properly. In this world, if we flatter and butter up or sometimes buy with money, there is nothing we cannot do, but for God, such things dont work. With His eyes that are like flames, God is watching our heart. With true heart are you relying on Me by faith? Are you praising Me and giving thanks to Me with true heart? God is weighing our heart on the scale.

That is why God was able to make the verdict of MENE,[d] MENE, TEKEL,[e]

UPHARSIN

Daniel 5:25-27
25

And this is the inscription that was written: MENE,[d] MENE, TEKEL,[e] UPHARSIN.[f]

This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; 27 TEKEK: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting;
26

And God divided the king and the nation on that night.

The saints of God who live in the end days shall rejoice in the Lord, the Bible says. Philippians 3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.
1

Philippians 4:4
4

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

Nehemiah 8:10 Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
10

It says the joy of the Lord is your strength. Faith becomes our strength and power. If only we had faith, there is nothing we cannot do or achieve.

With what power Moses divided the Red Sea that was blocking the way of the children of Israel? It was indeed the power of faith. By faith Moses stretched out his hand that was holding the staff and the Red Sea was divided.

Exodus 14:21-22 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
21

Although Moses was a human just like us, when he stretched out his hand over the sea by faith, 360 km/h of strong wind blew on the Sea and made the see stand like a wall. Not only the wind made the water stand like a wall, but also it dried the wet bottom of the sea so that they could walk on dry land. Faith brings about such amazing works and therefore faith is a precious thing.

Because we have no faith we are living on this dirty wet land day and night, but if we had faith that believes in God then we get to live on fluffy dry land all the time. Why do you put powder on babys buttocks? To make them fluffy and dry, right?

If you do not put powder on them, they might have blisters, that is why, right?

If there is no faith in life, all our life becomes sticky and have blisters all over and it becomes dirty and smelly life, but if there is faith the life becomes fluffy.

Faith is that precious. Even there is a hymn singing, faith overcomes, faith overcomes, right? Do you believe this? Yes, Father, I believe. How good it is! I hope you believe this for certain, the joy of the Lord is your strength.

With all our hearts, all our souls and mind and strength, with all such things we believe in the Lord, that is the joy of Lord and is our strength. For the joy of the Lord is the secret to be taken up to heaven without seeing death, God gave us the three great commands in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
16 18

in everything give thanks; for this is the

Although you are in a situation you cannot rejoice and give thanks, if you rejoice always, pray without ceasing and give thanks in everything, all your troubles and problems will be solved and the situation you are in improves and gets better. This is the promise of God. As we live in this sinful world, the temptation of sin swarm over us like waves of the sea, however, if we pray without ceasing, prayer becomes our shield and protects us. The prayer becomes our shield that blocks the waves and wind for us.

You could not rejoice always, could you? Have you prayed without ceasing? No, right? Because you could not give thanks in everything, you could not please God. If so, then how dreadful it is!

Because you can go to heaven without seeing death only if you pleased God, and you could not please God, then you must see death, right? Please understand deeply and keep the three great commands. That is exactly the work of faith and the work that pleases God.

My beloved saints, how are you going to live and where will you go in the end? The Apostle Peter is talking about the basic problem of our life.

1 Peter 1:17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each ones work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear;
17

James 4:14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
14

Fogs are gone as soon as the Sun is up. We live like clouds in the sky, but if the wind blows we are all vanished away. When that happens, where will we go? Conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear means we ought to know our destination.

You and I are same human and there is not much difference in our lifestyles, however, each of us has different ending. Please remember Jesus warning parable. Matthew 24:40-44 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour[f] your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he
40

would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Although they are in the field together and are grinding at the mill together, their ends are different. One of them will be taken and the other left. Such moment will come. If so, then shouldnt we think about whether I am the one like Enoch who will be taken or the one who will be left? The rest of our days are truly a short time. We see actors, actresses and singers commit suicide. We see wealthy entrepreneurs commit suicide. Why are they killing themselves? Because they foresaw their futility and life in vain.

Although their beginnings were the same, their ends were different, the Bible is testifying this fact. Enoch was from the line of Seth and he was the seventh generation from Adam. Lamech was from the line of Cain and he was also the seventh generation from Adam. Let us compare the ends of Enoch and Lamech. Do they not show the difference of heaven and earth?

Enoch became the man who bore the fruit of transfiguration for the first time in the history of mankind, but Lamech became the ancestor of the wicked who challenge God. Lamech developed all kinds of civilization and became a man who enjoyed murder and pleasure habitually. They are both the same seventh generation of Adam, however, Enoch who was from the line of Seth that descended down by faith became the man of heaven, but Lamech from the line of Cain became the man of earth. Right?

The lives of Enoch and Lamech had such contrasting ends. Enochs end who was from the line of Seth that walked the path of faith and the end of Lamech who walked the path of the world were totally different. The difference we see between Enoch and Lamech is the difference between the one with Gods covenant and the one without Gods covenant. Only if you have Gods covenant your name is registered in the genealogy of eternal life and that name is not faded for ever. Accordingly, children of God who have Gods covenant in them cannot engage in marriage with people without Gods covenant. The sons of daughters of God who have the Word of God in them cannot be one with those who do not have either Gods covenant or genealogy. No matter how wealthy that person may be and how powerful the person may be, you should never marry the one who does not have Gods covenant. Deuteronomy 7:3-4 Nor shall you make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to their son, nor take their daughter for your son. 4 For they will turn your sons away from following Me, to serve other gods; so the anger of the LORD will be aroused against you and destroy you suddenly.

2 Corinthians 6:14-16 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you[b] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
14

I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.[c] Did we not study in our Bible studies how the children of God were destroyed because they married the people who did not have Gods covenant? We studied how they were destroyed by God and their names got erased from the genealogy of Christ, didnt we?

Wrong marriage cannot ever be undone. If we bought something defected, then we can always return it and exchange it with a new one, however, marriage cannot be returned and exchanged to a new one. Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
11

People who have Gods covenant are the fruitful people. Therefore, people who received Gods covenant should not participate in the worldly works and purify themselves and fear God and complete the godly life.

Please do not forget that we must live only by faith as we have the testimony that pleases God. That is why in Romans 8:5 . 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. In doing Gods work, whether you are a reverend, elder or decons or deaconess, you should not have the thoughts of flesh.

People who possess faith are the wealthiest people on earth. Please believe that people who possess faith are recorded in the book of life for ever.

If you believe in God, then you become close friend with God so that God tells you all His secrets. Do you keep secrets between friends? Is there anything you cannot tell your friend?

Likewise, the life that walks with God, when you truly believe in God, God tells you all His secrets.

Psalm 25:14
14

The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant.

To those who fear God, God is so close to them to the point that God tells all His secrets that were hidden before. Look how God told Abraham His secret. In the Joint Translation Bible, it says, God confesses His thoughts to those who fear Him and tells them His plans. If we fear God we can know all that is in Gods heart. When Noah feared God, God told him all the secrets regarding the judgment.

Genesis 7:4 For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.
4

God is the God of righteousness and justice and God of fairness. God of Noah, God of Abraham will do the same to us as well. The Psalmist said14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Psalm 89:14
14

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face.

Psalm 97:2
2

Clouds and darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

We who are living in the time near the end, it is only for a short time on this earth. That is why we cannot live longer than even a 100 years, right?

What will we take back when we leave this world? Do we not bury everything underground when we leave? However, the spirit which God gave us, only that spirit will go and in heaven and when Christ comes again to this land, the spirit will meet body and be transfigured. When our dead body is buried underground and decomposes, it seems nothing is left of our body, however, when God calls, decomposed body that had returned to atoms all gather together. The prophet Ezekiel spoke of such thing. Ezekiel 37:7-11 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them. 9 Also He said to me, Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live. 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army. 11 Then He said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off! Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?
25

I want you to answer yes to this question.

My beloved saints, how good it is if we could participate in the glorious second coming of Christ while we are still alive and without seeing death! By all means, live the life that walks with God and finally obtain and enjoy the everlasting life.

Please do not bemoan just because you are not wealthy. With what God made the universe and all things in it? God said, with only single Word of God, God created the universe and all things.

That is why when we uphold the Word of God we become the wealthiest people in the heaven above and on earth and if we only have the Word of God, there is nothing we cannot do.

People of the Word of God becomes Gods sons and daughters. I hope you believe this and every day and every hour please God and live the life that walked with God like Enochs life and become the fruits of light that are taken up to heaven without witnessing death. I bless you with the name of the Lord.
