Amos 3:3 “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”
The question asked by God is a great question, can two walk
in harmony if they do not agree? I know that most Christians do not, most
friends will not, and most families will not, so what makes us believe we can
walk in harmony with God if we do not agree and walk in His word? The answer is
no, because God is so strict in His law of righteousness that we cannot. No one
can fellowship at all with God if they are not saved. Saved people can
fellowship with God only in Jesus Christ if our sins have been washed in His
blood and forgiven. Now, the next thought is, how much fellowship do we want
with God? The stronger our faith and the stronger our depth in Truth of God’s
word, the deeper the fellowship is with God. To walk with God is to walk in
Christ, but the level of our walking together with God depends on our level of
understanding of His and walk in that understanding. How does a Christian walk
with God who does not believe much truth, or study His word, walk in His word,
or even attend church. It is true that the stronger we are in God’s grace the
closer we walk with Him. All Christians are not gifted the same level of grace.
Rom. 12:3 “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man
that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think;
but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of
faith.” God gives every child a measure of grace per child, we are not all
gifted the same, not even with knowledge and wisdom. However, this does not
hinder our responsibility to work at walking in agreement with God. No believer
walks with God in perfection because God has not blessed any believer with that
grace of perfection except in Christ. No Christian walks in “lock step” with
God but we certainly ought to work at it. We are not without excuse of working
to be the best Christian that I can. We cannot use God’s grace and gifting as
an excuse to be spiritually lazy. If Christians allows their worldly issues to interfere
with their service to God, then why would God walk together? It is true that
God is always with us, and He will never leave us nor forsake us, but that is
not what we are talking about. Paul wrote these words, “And whatsoever ye do,
do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;” Colossians 3:23 We can serve
the things in the world if we do not put them before the Lord. Serving God should
be number one on our list everyday and above all else. Our desire in life
should be to walk every moment in fellowship with our Heavenly Father. What we
all have in this world is what God has given to us, material and spiritual, but
we use the tools and gifts God gives us to study, learn, and walk in fellowship
with God. No Christian has any excuse not to seek and walk in an agreeable
fellowship with God. If we do not then do not blame God, blame yourself. God said,
“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no
work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.”
Ecclesiastes 9:10 Time is short, our time is today, our rewards await us, and
they are earned by walking in agreement with God. Jesus said, “I must work
the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man
can work.” John 9:4 There will be a
time that it is to late, that time is not yet here, it is time to fix what is
broken in your faithful walk with God. And it all starts with attending church,
the seminary of biblical learning. Today is the day to seek and fellowship with
the Lord in spirit and truth. Remember, truth matters, because the more truth you
agree with the Lord on, the sweeter the walk together!
