You wouldn’t Understand..it’s a God Thing
This episode further develops the theme emphasized in the previous program, that addressing the negative narrative of unbelievers is often a fool’s errand, particularly when that commentary claims to know the motives behind Christian service. Nehemiah didn’t attempt to justify himself when faced with Sanballat’s accusation that his rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem was really about Nehemiah’s personal ambition to lead a rebellion. Instead, Nehemiah simply asserted that God would give him success. Nehemiah models how Christians should respond to naysayers who project evil motives based on their idolatry. He also models reliance on God’s power which is the source of all godly success.

More About This Episode -

In this episode titled “You wouldn’t Understand..it’s a God Thing,” host Victor Vigorito introduces the concept of starting off the New Year with a focus on God’s will and divine power. He emphasizes the importance of aligning one’s life with the will of God, referencing 1 Peter 4:2, which encourages believers to live for God’s purpose rather than their own desires.


Victor discusses the biblical character Nehemiah, highlighting how Nehemiah, after confessing his sins, receives a vision from God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and gains the blessing of King Artaxerxes. However, upon arriving in Jerusalem, Nehemiah faces immediate resistance from opponents like Sanballat and Tobias, who question his motives and mock his efforts.


Throughout the episode, Victor urges listeners to be prepared for such opposition when pursuing God’s vision for their lives. He stresses that, much like Nehemiah, believers should not feel the need to justify their actions to naysayers. Instead, one should remain focused on the divine calling and maintain trust in God’s power to achieve success.


Victor reinforces that God’s divine power equips believers with everything necessary for life and godliness, reminding listeners that those who are defiled and unbelieving will often distort the truth and misinterpret the intentions of faithful believers. He concludes with a prayer, asking for strength to follow God’s vision and to not be swayed by those who doubt.
