Philippians 2:5 In your relationships with one another, Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Beloved, God your loving Father has an unchanging passion. He wanted His saints of all ages to have His nature. See His nature.

Psalms 145:17. The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

He created Adam according to this nature. This nature guaranteed, relationship between Him and him. Unfortunately, Adam lost this gracious and glorious nature and became naked. See it.

Genesis 3:8-10. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

What exactly was this nature that was lost by Adam and closed the door of fellowship between him and God?

Ephesians 4:24. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

The Bible revealed that walking with God is predicated on agreeing with Him.

Amos 3:3. Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

Beloved , the scriptures revealed that some people were able to walk with God. The relationship benefited them immensely on this side of heaven and at the other side for all eternity.

You too, deserve such beneficial relationship. But then the onus is solely on you to cultivate it. See the following saints that sustained their relationship with God and enjoyed uncommon privileges.

1. Enoch : walked with God

Genesis 5:21-24. And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

2. Noah: righteous before Him.

Genesis 6:9. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Acts 13:22: And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

Job 1:8. And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Job 2:3. And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

6. Daniel: Beloved, because of his faithfulness and faultlessness before God and man

Daniel 9:23: At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.

Daniel 10:11. And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

7. Yourself. See the attribute you must cultivate to have the nature of God and benefit unusually from Him here and hereafter. Do what He said about Noah, Daniel, and Job. Receive grace to do so in Jesus name.

Ezekiel 14:14. Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord God.

Dearly beloved, God the Father made an, unashamed proclamation about Jesus our Lord . See it.

John 17:4. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

Prior to His ascension He exhorted the Bible days believers and believers of all ages that includes you, to learn from Him and follow His example.

1 Peter 2:21: For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

It was this likeness to Christ in all things, that the blessed Holy Spirit revealed , should characterise the lifestyle of heaven bound believers of all ages and you in particular. See it.

Philippians 2:5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

1. Living for Him for a lifetime

2 Corinthians 5:14-15. For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Dearly beloved have the mind of Christ and shine His light for the world to see and be converted. Receive grace to do so in Jesus name.

Philippians 2:15. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Friend, God of heaven shall grant your desire to be part of the dawning rapture in Jesus name. The one major requisite that shall guarantee your readiness at the time of the event is a lifestyle of exemplary Christlikeness that the scriptures refereed to as having the mind of Christ.

Philippians 2:5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 2:16. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Only those who have His mind shall live eternally with Him. See what the scriptures says they are made of, yourself and commit yourself to cultivating this all important lifestyle.

1. They washed their robes and made them white with the blood of the Lamb

Revelation 7:9-17. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

2. Feared the Lord.

Malachi 3:16-18. Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

3. They walked in righteousness and looked forward to His glorious appearing.

Titus 2:11-13. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

4. They pleased God

1 John 3:22. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

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.

5. They had no fault.

Revelation 14:4-5. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
