Lesson 205: THAT MAN ENOCH

INTRODUCTION:

The Bible does not give us too many details about the man Enoch. He is the son of Jarred, Gen. 5:18 and the father of many sons and daughters, the prominent of who was Methuselah, Gen. 5: 21- 22. But the most striking statements about Enoch were that he walked with God” , and “God took him’. May the Lord teach us about this great saint tonight for our own benefits, Jesus Name. Amen.

1. ENOCH MUST HAVE BEEN A LONELY MAN. BUT HE WAS NEVER REALLY ALONE.

Anyone who decides to walk with God must have decided to be out of Steps with the world and its changing fashions. Such a fellow must focus his attention on God only. He / She must believe firmly that it is possible to walk with a holy God through living a victorious, holy life. Such a person will be lonely because he cannot have many friends, but surely he will never be alone because God will keep him company.

2. ENOCH PLEASED GOD. THAT IS A COMPREHENSIVE TESTIMONIAL.
