To realize and fulfil destiny, you must be a person of passion. To be passionless is to be purposeless.

SCRIPTURE: And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven. Nehemiah 1:4.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To realize and fulfil destiny, you must be a person of passion. To be passionless is to be purposeless.

It has been discovered that passion is key to purpose discovery. Your passion or the burden in your heart is a pointer to your purpose or destiny on earth.  Your passion or burden is what occupies your heart. 

Nehemiah was an example of a person of passion. He had a passion or burden for the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. 

Nehemiah 1:1-4 says,

1The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, 

2That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.

3And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.

4And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven.

Nehemiah presented the situation of Jerusalem to the king and the king commissioned him to go back and rebuild the wall. Eventually, he became the governor of Judah because of the burden or passion that he had. To realize and fulfil destiny, you must be a person of passion. To be passionless is to be purposeless. People without burden cannot be a blessing to their generation.

Remember this: To realize and fulfil destiny, you must be a person of passion. To be passionless is to be purposeless.


PRAYER: Thank You Lord for the revelation of Your Word to me today. I ask that You baptize me with fresh passion and zeal, both for You and Your Work, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

AN OUTWARD SHOW OF AN INNER TRUTH

AN OUTWARD SHOW OF AN INNER TRUTH .* *Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD (Psalm 134:2).* Have you ever wondered why oftentimes, people look towards the sky when we say, “Let us pray?” It’s actually an outward show of an inner truth, of something spiritual, because the Father isn’t in the sky but inside us; He lives in you. So, don’t get confused by the motions and outward expressions and gesticulations.  *Psalm 141:2* says, *“Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”* When David, a prophet of God, wrote this, he was well acquainted with the priesthood ministry of the Old Testament in the old tabernacle. He spoke prophetically and likened the evening sacrifice in the Old Testament to the lifting of our hands in worship today.  Also, the Bible says, *“Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD”* *(Psalm 134:2).* The Apostle Paul reiterated the same thing; he understoo...

*DON’T CONDEMN OTHERS

 .* *Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16).* In your life, don’t be too quick to find fault with others. Don’t give in to the urge to condemn. The Bible says the Lord Jesus has been  *“…ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead”*  *(Acts 10:42 NKJV).* He alone is the true Judge, and He’s rich in mercy. There may be some people around you, perhaps, even in your local church that may not be living right; don’t judge them. Instead, be the light that wins them over. That’s what Jesus said in our theme verse.  One of the reasons people may not be living right where you are may be that your light isn’t shining brightly enough. When a Christian condemns other Christians about their way of life, he may think he’s being spiritual when it’s actually an expression of carnality. Don’t write anyone off because of their errors; Jesus also paid the price for their mis...
