Walking with God

Date/AD21/12/2022

14 years ago I began to walk with the Lord, with many stumbling and backsliding. I am a prisoner of Christ but many times I tried to escape prison. In the world love sets people free, but for me love kept me in. The greatest thing in my life is not my wife or my ministry, it is my walk with God. I had no wife nor ministry when God began to help me. I didn't preach a single sermon in 4 years. I didn't know anything to preach, came from a catholic background where we didn't go to church with Bibles. If I have grown or made progress, it is clearly because I followed the Lord all these years. 

Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God took him.

We have a very brief mention of Enoch in the Bible. The most popular phrase in the Bible about Enoch is "Enoch walked with God." This was the description of the man's life. The man became invisible because God took him. Intimacy is always the symbol of a healthy relationship. Enoch had no Bible, there were no church meetings in those days, no revival crusades, no YouTube to watch recorded sermons. We have all these spiritual aids but we walk more with men than with God. I live in a generation where men exalt themselves. 

Understand that Enoch wasn't the one who wrote the Mosaic texts, it was Moses. Today your pastor would've told the writer to note "Write that I am the major one, the apostle of fire" etc., a man who truly walks with God has no need to exalt himself, because God will exalt him. In our fellowship we address people as brothers and sisters, that's the highest form of honor. We are more concerned about our relationship with the Father than what we are called. 

So without those spiritual aids Enoch walked with God, and because of that he was taken by God. It's common amongst those who walked with God to be taken by Him. I discovered the secret of Enoch, and if we will be eager to follow in the footprints of Enoch we will be taken. 

Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Enoch walked by faith and his life was pleasing to God. You know in all these years I have sort to do only one thing; to be pleasing to God and therefore I have offended many men. I don't get invited to preach as I did have in the early years. Many pastors consider me to be a heretic and false prophet. I am hated in Babylon. Enoch was hated too but I believe he was determined to please God. Let's walk with God today. Let's not work with tradition or the rudiments of this world, let's not walk with the trend or what is popular, let's walk with God in purity and sincerity of heart. 

At the end of our lives it can be said that "Joseph Bourdilon walked with God." Many of you will have written on your gravestone "So and so became a billionaire", but for some of us not much will be written but only "He walked with God." I don't want my obituary to be written like it is today. You see things like "Exit of an icon, exit of a legend", all lies. But my family should be able to say "Here is a man who walked with God." Let it be true when its written upon our gravestone. Enoch had a pure testimony and we can strive for that. May the Lord keep us from falling, Amen

Maranatha!

The Big Surprise

The Big Surprise   *But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 2 Peter 3:10‭-‬11 KJV* This is the hardest message for me to preach, because it's very difficult to convince people about the second coming of Christ. When you tell people about the coming tribulation, it sounds like Marvel science fiction. The world loves her comfort, nobody likes to be told the whole truth; even so called Christians like to be in a church where half the truth is taught. But woe to them that are at ease in Zion. For when they say peace peace, then sudden destruction will come upon them. We are in the time when our knees need to knock the ground. There is need for repenting of sin. Ther

PORT HARCOURT IS ON THE RUN RIGHT NOW AS OBIGBO IS RAGING IN ANTIPROTEST MOBBING By Joseph Bourdilon Oyigbo is a town 30 kilometers from the port city of Port Harcourt and a local government area of Rivers State, Nigeria. It is a satellite of Port Harcourt. Sir Precious Oforji was elected Chairman of the Oyigbo LGA in 2008. EZE Mike Nwaji was installed the traditional of Obigbo in 1998.  Wikipedia Reports reaching me as at 12:30pm on Wednesday afternoon is an alleged shooting in Obigbo. Reports says a victim was rushed to the hospital haven shot by a police officer.  A correspondent within Eliozu and Ikorku has said that "The victim was shot by a police officer and rushed to the hospital, but the doctor insists that they bring a police report with no luxury of time led to the demise of the severely injured patient." If you are within the axis of Obigbo you are advised to stay home. If you have traveled out of town please stay put until we get the details on when i

How God spoke to me about a teenager

Image
More often we find the Christian crusade a religion, and people don't get to experience the real spiritual parade. A believer would spend five hours praying, assuming more time on his knees would cause God to talk. But I find religion to be the problem of relationship with God. Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. God speaks to us more often when we are not praying. I hear God from my bathroom, I'm not saying He doesn't speak to me during prayer hours; He does speak. I want to use a story as a way of concrete evidence to God's voice. He has spoken to me many times, but I have chosen one story out of many. I have this young teenager which happens to be my cousin. I taught him so many things even while I was an unbeliever. He grew up to be a fanatic; he would mention going to the army all his life, and I never spoke to it to veer his enthusiasm. I noticed he had joi
