Your passion connects you to your portion in life.

Your passion connects you to your portion in life.

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: Your passion connects you to your portion in life.
It has been established that your passion is key to discovering your destiny in life. Moses had a passion for the deliverance of his people from captivity in Egypt. That passion made him to kill an Egyptian. (Exodus 2:11-12).
Beloved, your passion connects you to your portion in life. If you follow your passion, you can land in your portion. If you follow your passion, you can get to your possession.
Now, what does passion refer to?

1. Your passion is your fire of desire to make a difference in a particular area 
Your passion is your fire of desire. It is that desire on fire that will not let you rest. The passion of Nehemiah was his desire on fire to deliver his people from the reproach of captivity (Nehemiah 1:1-4). Your passion is your desire on fire to make a difference in a particular area.

2. Your passion is your burden or weight of heart to be a blessing or to meet a need in one area or the other
Passion comes like a weight. It comes like a burden. If you are not careful, passion can at times weigh you down. That was what was on Nehemiah (Nehemiah 1:1-4).

3. Your passion is that which makes you to literally grieve or even weep in response to certain challenges or situations that require answers and solutions. 
This was the kind of passion that made Nehemiah (Nehemiah 1:1-4). He was not underprivileged. He was not among those suffering in captivity. He was comfortably settled in the king’s palace, yet he broke down in tears because the wall of Jerusalem was destroyed and the people were in great affliction.  

Beloved, ask God to show you the passion of your life. Follow it and fulfil your destiny. 
Remember this: Your passion connects you to your portion in life.

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 understood the imp

*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 mistakes. He took resp
