Faith enables you to have partnership with divinity. Let’s read about this legend of faith called Enoch.

“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”. Hebrews 11:5

Genesis 5:24 tells us what “pleased God” mean:

“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him”.

When we put the two scriptures together, it read: this way, “And Enoch walked with God and Go translated him that he should not see death; and he had this testimony that he pleased God.” Hebrews 11:6 says 

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him”.

A walk with God is impossible without faith. What faith does is to bring a man into partnership with God; and if God be for us, who can be against us?

You can’t be in partnership with God and be stranded, either can you be in partnership with God and be resisted by anyone or anything. You can’t be in partnership with God and any gate be shut against you. Psalms 24:7 says:

“Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in”.

You are supernaturally in command of the affairs of life, when you’re in partnership with God. Enoch walked with God and was not allowed to see what other men see, because he was in partnership with God.

Moses said to God, “If Your presence will not go with us, leave us where we are; as it’s Your presence that will make the difference as we go” (Exodus 33:15) This tells us that it was the partnership Moses had with God that gave him his place in history. Likewise we also need to build a strong partnership with Go so we will be perpetually in command. Think about the three Hebrew boys, who were throw into the fiery furnace, and Nebuchadnezzar marvelled:

“… Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God”. Daniel 3:25

What happened here? Their partnership with God through their faith caused God to follow them into the fiery furnace. No wonder, fire had no power over them. Daniel’s faith also brought about a partnership with divinity in the lions’ den. Daniel testified thus:

“My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt”. Daniel 6:22

Partnership with God makes you an unstoppable overcomer; it makes you an irresistible conqueror, and man who is in charge everywhere you find yourself. Note that it is not us that get the job done, but the one who is with us that gets it done. Jesus said in John 8:29:

“And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him”.

Partnership with God is the seal of destiny; you can’t have God with you and be floored by any man. God is on your inside, and He’s also by your side. These two realities make you an impossible case for the devil.

I strongly believe that this understanding of faith will help you to invest more in building your faith, and there is no investment in developing your faith that can be considered a waste. My prayer is that you will begin now to invest towards the development of your faith….
