Hey everyone I’m Pastor Gary Hoban and welcome to episode 62 of Refinery Life radio /TV.
Our goal here is to release a 2-3 minute video / Podcast each day, designed to challenge you and get you to spend more time with God.
Today we are going to talk about, What God Puts in Our Hearts.
Nehemiah 2:12 (AMP)
12 Then I got up in the night, I and a few men with me. I did not tell anyone what my God was putting in my heart to do for Jerusalem, and there was no animal with me except the one on which I was riding [so as not to attract attention].
The book of Nehemiah, relates to his burden for rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.
The moment he heard of the distress of his city, he began praying, fasting, and seeking God’s will. Nehemiah 1:4 (AMP) says
4 Now it came about when I heard these words, I sat down and wept and mourned for days; and I was fasting and praying [constantly] before the God of heaven.
Nehemiah’s concern deepened until king Artaxerxes noticed it on his face in Nehemiah 2:2 (AMP)
2 So the king said to me, “Why do you look sad when you are not sick? This is nothing but sadness of heart.” Then I was very frightened,
Traveling to Jerusalem, Nehemiah surveyed the ruined walls and devised a plan for their rebuilding.
At first, he told no-one what God had put on his heart to do.
But at the right moment he revealed his plan, mobilised the people, and persevered until the work was done.
Have you seen a need?
Have you prayed with a burden?
Our work for Him isn't a personal ambition we seek.
It's a vision he places on our hearts, perhaps we become involved in rehabilitation, to ministering to the homeless, working in children’s ministry, visiting nursing homes, evangelising the lost, planning missions trips.
Myself and Amanda have been working in the dark not revealing our plan that God gave us, and it is now time to rebuild the walls.
For us its the walls of the church and to bring the church to having God at the centre again.
What has God put in your heart to do?
What can you do today to make your vision a reality?
Let God know today, that you want His wisdom and are willing to turn around and come back to Him.
Acknowledge that you don’t want entertainment but you want a relationship with your creator.
Commit to God today that because He has given you the gift of salvation for free that you will repent and share it with others.
Until tomorrow
Stay in the blessings
