TOPIC: Are You Passionate About What You Do? (Part 2)

Nehemiah 6:3
[3] So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?”

*Message*

At the beginning which was captured by Genesis 1:1, God decided to embark on an interesting project of creating spaces that would be known as heaven and earth, that would become ample platforms to exhibit some of His unlimited beautiful features. However, He soon encountered some challenges as some of His creatures, led by Lucifer, rebelled against Him. These ones became evil, were cast to the earth, and ended up filling the earth with darkness that was repulsive to God based on His holiness.

However, we would see that God didn't give up nor dumped His project because He was very much passionate about the concept of creating beautiful spaces where He would place sweet inhabitants who would enjoy the bliss of worshipping Him in spirit and in truth. Hence, in the midst of the challenges and darkness, it was recorded that "...the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters." (Vs 2). In other words, God, despite having every reason to dump the project, still sticks around.

After making everything new and good, years later, due to the great evil permitted to creep into the heart and environment of mankind, it was recorded: "And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. [7] So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” (Genesis 6:6-7).

*See that? Even God, at different times, wanted to give up on His projects because of the challenges that came up. But why won't He? Passion! He was passionate about His works! Anything worthwhile will encounter challenges meant to compel you into giving up. But when you're passionate, you are continually energized to keep going till you embrace success. Keep going!*


*Prayers*
Ask the LORD to help you increase in passion for whatever you are doing.
