Every life walk with God has a beginning. There is always a definite point at which a man begins to walk with God. As he continues the walk with God, there is a height which he would attain. Backsliding is the process in which a man slides back from that point where heaven has accepted him.

Hence brethren, if you would look back into your life and your walk with God, you will see the fervency with which you followed the Lord. You would see the sweetness of the relationship between you and the other brethren as it existed in the beginning. At the close of every meeting, the fellowship meetings that followed would be so sweet that people are unable to part. But now, immediately after the meeting everyone goes his own. Everybody takes to his path. People that are suppose to be on duty in God’s presence go everywhere anyhow, in search of food or ceremonies. Everybody is more interested about himself and his family. The heart of God seems to be troubled and he thus cries out in desperation. “Remember from where you fell”. Friend, where is your original zeal? Where is your great appetite and enthusiasm for God. You had always longed for God’s presence and for the fellowship of the brethren, what has happened to that now?

Hear the master’s warning, “remember the place from which you fell and return, otherwise I’ll come and remove your candlestick” What a useless life you would be living if your candlestick is removed?
