Prayer History Begins (Jan 4)
The perfect environment into
which man was placed is now
shattered by the entrance of sin.
Disobedience follows as the first
family eats from the forbidden tree
and is expelled from the garden.
The results of their sin spread as
humankind and the whole creation
fall under the penalty of death.
Cain becomes the first murderer
& the downward spiral continues
from Adam to Noah. But God still
pursues fellowship with mankind.
Lord, we’ll Call & Walk with You:
Then the man and his wife heard
the sound of the Lord God as
He was walking in the garden…
and they hid from the Lord God
among the trees of the garden.
But the Lord God called to the man:
Where are you? (Gen 3:8-9).
And Adam knew his wife again and
she bore a son & named him Seth…
And as for Seth… a son was born;
and he named him Enosh.
Then men began to Call on the
name of the Lord (Gen 4:25-26)
And after he became the father of
Methuselah, Enoch walked with God
300 years and had other sons and
daughters. Altogether Enoch lived
365 years. Enoch walked with God;
then he was no more because
God took Him away (Gen 5:22-24)
Lord, l want to have a close
walk with You; and help me not
to forfeit that relationship by
being drawn towards the world.
Enable me to hear Your voice
calling me so that I will answer
without delay or hesitation.
Help me Lord not hide from You
but instead seek Your forgiveness
and draw near to You. Amen.
Lord, despite the original sin,
Your sovereign will for man prevails.
With the birth of Enosh, mankind
began to worship God in prayer.
It could had been that men
realised their weaknesses and
began to seek refuge in You God.
And they feared the Almighty God
and learnt to desire to do His Will.
As Your children, help us learn to
also Call upon Your name. Amen.
Lord, we are challenged by the long
term faithfulness of Enoch that
he walked with You for 300 years.
So intimate was Your relationship
with Enoch that when the time
came for Enoch to leave earth for
eternity that his walk just continued.
Help us Lord to please U like Enoch
who not only believe in You but also
earnestly seek after You. Amen.
