"God has chosen you to build a sanctuary. Be strong and do the work."- Wesleyne
Word of the Day
"Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house as a sanctuary. Be strong and do the work." - 1 Chronicles 28:10
In 1 Chronicles 28:10, we are reminded that the Lord has chosen each of us to build a sanctuary, a house with a unique purpose. This purpose is deeply personal and tailored to our individual gifts and callings. For Wesleyne, it's about impacting lives and helping people realize their worth and potential.
Your sanctuary might be a ministry, a business, or a personal mission to spread kindness and love. It's where your purpose resides, and it's unique to you. Even if you feel inadequate or lacking in gifts, remember that God can work through your strengths and weaknesses alike.
The verse emphasizes the importance of being strong and doing the work. Strength alone isn't enough; it's the action that matters. The enemy may try to discourage you, but God will provide the strength to persevere. Building your sanctuary is a gradual process, one brick at a time.

Consider now for the Lord has chosen you to build a house as a sanctuary. Be strong and do the work. First Chronicles 28 verses 10.
The Lord has chosen you, not your sister, not your brother, not your mother, not your children, not your husband, not your wife. He has chosen you to build a house. What house has God called you to build? Has he called you to build a house of prayer, a house of love? Maybe it's a house.
business maybe your house is one of doing ministry but what house has God called you to build he's all called us to build something something in our lives this house that he has called us to build this is where our purpose lies so what is the purpose that God has given you
What is he calling you to do? Remember, this is your purpose. It's not anyone else's purpose. The house that God has called me to build is the house of impacting lives, transforming the way people show up in their relationships, in their business, and helping them tap into the best versions of themselves.
giving them hope when they're hopeless, helping them know that they are so worthy and so loved. And that is the house that God has chosen me to build as my sanctuary, as the sanctuary. So what is a sanctuary? A sanctuary is a place where others gather. So your purpose in your house, it is a place.
Wesleyne (:where God wants you to impact lives in your unique way. And you may say, I don't have your gift, Wesleyan. I don't like talking to people. I can't, that's not my thing. That's okay. You could have a ministry where you walk alongside one person that's hurting, one person that's broken. You can have a ministry where you give through your generosity.
You see causes that need financial backing and you give and so you're building the sanctuary. The final part of that verse is so important. Be strong and do the work. Don't just be strong. Many people will tell you to just be strong. If you are just strong, then what are you being strong for?
Why are you being strong? But you have to be strong and do the work. And the work is hard because again, God has chosen you. He has called you to do this work. And if he's called you to do this work, then that means the devil, the enemy doesn't like that. So he is going to attack you. He is going to do everything that he can.
to bring you down. So be strong and do the work that God has called you to do. He's chosen you. He's called you. He loves you. He will give you the strength to keep fighting. He will give you the strength to keep showing up. Don't give up. Don't give up. Be strong. Do the work.
And remember, this house that you're building, you build a house brick by brick, stone by stone. You don't have to go save the world. You don't have to give a million dollars. Start small. Do the building brick by brick. And remember,
Wesleyne (:Be strong and do the work.
