For some years now I have been working on a series of messages that are simply entitled FAT. 

Included are these: Faith-full Able Teachers; Fearless Accountable Teachers; Faithful Available Teachers; Freely Actively Telling; Forgiving Approachable/Affectionate Touchable/Tactful; Factual Actual Truthfull/Trustworthy; Fruitful Apt Tested; Filled with the Holy Ghost, Assured of who they are and whose they are, Testifying Christians. 

Today I want to introduce another;

Fit/Faithful 

Always 

True 

More often than not we are guilty of fighting with the world when we are supposed to be faithfully walking with God. Genesis 5:21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Now, I will stipulate to the fact that I am probably the odd man out respecting verse 22, I believe that Enoch’s faithful walk began before Methuselah was born and continued to grow in faith after the birth of Methuselah. I am not one that thinks he only started, at age 65, to walk with God after the birth of the child. The facts are these; for over three hundred years Enoch walked with God, and that is not an easy task if you consider the time that he lived. Enoch had the privilege of living in the time of Adam. Most of Enoch’s life was during the days of Adam. We know nothing of Adam’s testimony after the birth of Seth, but I have a great imagination. I imagine that Adam learned to walk with God and encouraged others to walk. None ever walked like Enoch. Faith cometh by hearing and I believe Enoch heard God’s word from Adam. No matter what else was happening in the world around Enoch; He walked with God. Keep in mind Enoch walked home with God just one hundred years before Noah was born, and that within just a five hundred years God would bring his righteous judgment upon the world by a flood. These times were definitely not what one would call “The best of times.” These lights of God’s glory lived and served God in very difficult situations. So, here is the point; they did not fight with the world and neither were they afraid in the world. These men, represented by Enoch, were fit in faith and always true to God. They did the work of an evangelist giving an answer to every man that asked with meekness and fear. This is also a fact: We are not doing the work. We are too busy looking around and sinking in the waves. Fighting is not equivalent to Fit and Faithful. We are spending far to much time fighting and all we really need to do is walk with God. We need to do more walking and less fighting.
