In this episode titled “Motivated For Ministry and Sanctification,” host Victor Vigorito begins by introducing the theme of the show, focusing on answering listener questions about God, the Bible, and faith. He emphasizes the importance of starting the New Year with a clear vision from God, primarily drawing insights from the book of Nehemiah.
Victor discusses how Nehemiah encountered opposition while rebuilding the wall and highlights the need for a balanced approach to ministry. He explains that while part of the effort must be directed toward building and actively engaging in ministry, another part must focus on defense, protecting the progress already made. Victor cites Nehemiah 4:16-18, illustrating how the workers split their efforts—half working on the wall while the other half stood guard.
He describes ministry as a cooperative endeavor where everyone contributes and supports one another, stressing that defensive strategies are crucial to safeguarding what God has built in our lives against opposition and distractions. He warns against naively believing that one can engage in ministry without adopting a defensive posture.
Victor further explores scripture, including verses from Ephesians and Galatians, to underline the necessity of taking a defensive stance in faith. He highlights that believers must consistently guard their hearts and remain connected with the body of Christ to avoid vulnerability to the enemy’s narratives.
