Relationship with God
Nehemiah 2:16 And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.
Not even the priest, elders and friends were informed concerning the mission. It is not everything that must be shared with your pastor. And there are many things hidden even from the leaders. That is why your communication and relationship with God must be as clear and certain … as your relationship with your best friend. Many do not have a relationship with God or do not know how to walk with God. Invariably they talk to family, friends and their church family and pastor …they are gregarious and friendly which is good …but their fatal flaw is that they do not know God and have no personal relationship with the Almighty.
Begin a relationship with God in the place of prayer …end time in His word. Allocate quality quiet time to meditate on what you have read …and open your heart to Him. Soon you will begin to hear Him and you will gradually learn the difference between hearing your belly, friends, pastor and hearing God. To hear God is to discover the most important secret for your success in business. God knows who your partners should be. God knows the market … He knows the threats and He uncovers the future better than any economic model or theory can ever do.
Be silent …until you hear God. Learn obedience … we suffer much when we disobey God or mistake our desires for divine direction.
Verses for further meditation
Heb 5:8; Romans 16:19
Thoughts for Business and the work place
Transparency is a potent driver for ideas to gain traction. Silence must not be confused with guile.
Suggestions for Prayer
O Lord, teach me your ways … especially to hear and obey you completely. Amen
As Nehemiah’s wall was built- so will we see a reconstruction in all that may appear in distress and in waste. Nehemiah trusted and feared God, putting his faith in the Almighty whose strength is limitless to exceed all our expectations. Look out daily for Nehemiah’s Wall in 2015 and do invite friends to subscribe to the free email or social media posts.
I am praying someone with a burden to be used by God in building will receive a fresh vision and get the job done.
