NEHEMIAH | PURIFICATION [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And the priests and the Levites purified and seperated themselves – Nehemiah 12:30

Beloved even at a time like this, you can be enlisted for honor. God in deed shall honour you till you meet Jesus in the sky in Jesus name.

One biblical pathway to God’s honour is to serve Jesus. Please engage in living for Him and advancing His kingdom henceforth.

John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

NEHEMIAH | PURIFICATION [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And the priests and the Levites purified and seperated themselves – Nehemiah 12:30 

But then only sanctified vessels can serve the Lord acceptably and be rewarded. I am persuaded that this can never pose any difficulty for you.

2 Timothy 2:19-21 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

Colossians 3:23-4 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

It is noteworthy that both in the old and new testaments, the conditions for acceptable service to the Lord are still the same and unchanged

Exodus 18:19-22 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God: And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do. Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.

Isaiah 52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.

Acts 6:2-3 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

NEHEMIAH | PURIFICATION [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And the priests and the Levites purified and seperated themselves – Nehemiah 12:30 

This was the exact thing that was put in place during the days of Nehemiah for acceptable service for the Levites and others.

Nehemiah 12:30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

Interestingly, the Bible reveals saints in Bible days that God engaged in rewardable service, because they willingly and submissively meet the conditions.

NEHEMIAH | PURIFICATION [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And the priests and the Levites purified and seperated themselves – Nehemiah 12:30 

Isaiah

Isa 6:1 — Isa 6:8 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

NEHEMIAH | PURIFICATION [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And the priests and the Levites purified and seperated themselves – Nehemiah 12:30 

Paul apostle and his team.

1 Thessalonians 2:10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

I am persuaded that you are set for God:s enviable honour for rewardable service. So join the throng and consecrate yourself, till Jesus comes.

Psalms 50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

1 Chronicles 29:5 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?

May the good Lord depend on you in Jesus name.

NEHEMIAH | REMEMBER ME O LORD [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible ] | Remember me, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds – Nehemiah 13:14

Beloved, it is the earnest plea of multitude of churchgoers for God to remember them.

Like Hannah, they are desirous that God should remember them.

1 Samuel 1:11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

NEHEMIAH | REMEMBER ME O LORD [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible ] | Remember me, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds – Nehemiah 13:14

I pray for you and your family that God shall remember you all for good in Jesus name.

It is important for you to know that when God remembers anyone, He is set to do something only Him can do for such a person. This is what God shall do for you as He remembers you in Jesus name. See this.

Gen 30:22 — Gen 30:23 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:

But then it is very very unfortunate that such people yearning for God to remember them, they themselves don’t remember God.

They have forgotten Him and He is not in their thoughts at all. I am persuaded that you have not forgotten God.

Psalms 10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts

NEHEMIAH | REMEMBER ME O LORD [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible ] | Remember me, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds – Nehemiah 13:14

Beloved, if there is anything you must know, it is the truth, that God wants you in particular, to remember Him, His commandments and His marvelous works, sufficient for your desired breakthroughs. See all these.

Ecc 12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw

Num 15:39 — Num 15:40 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

1Ch 16:11 — 1Ch 16:12 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

NEHEMIAH | REMEMBER ME O LORD [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible ] | Remember me, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds – Nehemiah 13:14

Always remember that Bible days saints first remembered God, before they asked Him to remember them. See these.

Nehemiah

Neh 13:14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.

King Hezekiah

2Ki 20:1 — 2Ki 20:6. In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying, I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD. And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.

So therefore beloved, I want to also encourage you too, to remember God now, remember His commandments in the Bible and His marvelous works which makes Him alone to be sufficient for you to attain anything in your life.

The Bible gives of records of saints God remembered in Bible days, which gives you in particular assurance that from now till Jesus comes, God shall always remember you in particular for good in Jesus name.

NEHEMIAH | REMEMBER ME O LORD [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible ] | Remember me, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds – Nehemiah 13:14

Noah and his family

Genesis 8:1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;

Abraham, because he prayed and Lot was saved from destruction of Sodom.

Gen 19:29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

In addition, I want to plead with you to remember these two things at this perilous time.

1. Your first love for Christ before COVID 19 pandemic.

Revelation 2:4-5 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

2. The dawning rapture. So make sure you have done everything that shall make you ready as a wise virgin, including your restitutions.

2 Timothy 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

NEHEMIAH | REMEMBER ME O LORD [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible ] | Remember me, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds – Nehemiah 13:14

Anytime you remember the resurrection of Christ, it is a pointer to remind you of the rapture. As He resurrected and ascended to heaven, so is the dead in Christ shall be raised and then we that are alive shall join them.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

NEHEMIAH – DONT LOOK BACK or GIVE UP [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And I said, Should such a man as I flee? – Nehemiah 6:10-11

Beloved there is something common to both old and new testaments saints, they persevered in persecutions, when God’s glory is at stake. See some instances.

Nehemiah.

Neh 6:10 — Neh 6:11 Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee. And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.

NEHEMIAH – DONT LOOK BACK or GIVE UP [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And I said, Should such a man as I flee? – Nehemiah 6:10-11

Queen Esther.

Est 4:15 — Est 4:16 Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer, Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish

The three Hebrews.

Dan 3:14 — Dan 3:18 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

NEHEMIAH – DONT LOOK BACK or GIVE UP [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And I said, Should such a man as I flee? – Nehemiah 6:10-11

Jesus Christ our Lord.

Luk 13:31 — Luk 13:33 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

Apostle Peter and John

Act 5:27 — Act 5:33 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

NEHEMIAH – DONT LOOK BACK or GIVE UP [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And I said, Should such a man as I flee? – Nehemiah 6:10-11

Paul the apostle.

Act 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Act 21:11 — Act 21:14 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

You also like them, someday, somehow shall be faced with same challenges , may the Lord depend on you in particular in Jesus name.

This shall happen because, Jesus our Lord and the blessed Holy Spirit said, all believers of all ages and you in particular shall suffer because of your faith in Christ.

NEHEMIAH – DONT LOOK BACK or GIVE UP [ Lessons from leaders in the Bible] | And I said, Should such a man as I flee? – Nehemiah 6:10-11

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

When this happens, you must not compromise or deny your faith.

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Those who profess religion and compromise because of persecutions shall be denied by Christ.

2Ti 2:10 — 2Ti 2:13 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Always remember the glory awaiting you after the light afflictions are incomparable to the present challenges.

Rom 8:17 — Rom 8:18 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | LESSONS FROM LEADERS IN THE BIBLE – NEHEMIAH LIKE JESUS | REBUILDER OF OUR BROKEN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD | – Nehemiah 1:1-5

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | June 19, 2020 | LESSONS FROM LEADERS IN THE BIBLE – NEHEMIAH LIKE JESUS | REBUILDER OF OUR BROKEN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD | The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments: – Nehemiah 1:1-5 

Beloved, no doubt, all the books in the Bible, from Genesis to Revelations are testimonies about Jesus. No wonder our Lord exhorted everyone and that includes you, to search the scriptures and you shall discover Him.

John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

The book of Nehemiah reveals Jesus, as the rebuilder of our broken relationship with God.

There is a wall of partition between God and the unregenerate. Jesus through His vicarious sacrifice pulled down that wall and rebuild amicable relationship between the erring sinner and the holy God.

Eph 2:12 — Eph 2:16 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:.

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | LESSONS FROM LEADERS IN THE BIBLE – NEHEMIAH LIKE JESUS | REBUILDER OF OUR BROKEN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD | – Nehemiah 1:1-5 

The same way our Lord willingly submitted to sacrifice His life to rebuild the broken relationship between God and the sinners, so also Nehemiah relinquished his lucrative job to lead the Jews to rebuild the broken walls of Jerusalem.

Neh 1:1 — Neh 1:5. The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:

Now it is your turn to do same. Become a peace broker between the erring sinners and the holy God.

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

May the Lord depend on you to reconcile the sinners with Him in Jesus name.

2 Corinthians 5:18-20 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

LESSONS FROM LEADERS IN THE BIBLE – NEHEMIAH PRAYED | So built we the wall; for the people had a mind to work. – Nehemiah 4:6

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | June 17, 2020 | LESSONS FROM LEADERS IN THE BIBLE – NEHEMIAH PRAYED, SO THE PEOPLE HAD THE MIND TO WORK | So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work. – Nehemiah 4:6 

Beloved, there is something about the God of heaven, your loving Father. He always rewards labour of love done for His glory.

2 Chronicles 15:7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

No wonder the Jews in the days of Nehemiah laboured to rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem and were rewarded.

Nehemiah 4:6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.

Nehemiah who before the rebuilding of the wall was a cup bearer in the king’s palace, became the Tirshatha or governor of Judah.

Nehemiah 1:11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king’s cupbearer.

Nehemiah 8:9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.

LESSONS FROM LEADERS IN THE BIBLE – NEHEMIAH PRAYED | So built we the wall; for the people had a mind to work. – Nehemiah 4:6

Beloved, as the Lord rewarded and promoted Nehemiah, you also shall be rewarded if you conscientiously advance the kingdom of Christ, especially at this perilous time.

But then, their is a work in the kingdom, that God has always been very passionate about. However, from time immemorial this work has always suffered a dearth of labourers . See it yourself.

Isaiah 59:16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

Ezekiel 22:30-31 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

LESSONS FROM LEADERS IN THE BIBLE – NEHEMIAH PRAYED | So built we the wall; for the people had a mind to work. – Nehemiah 4:6

This particular work is the most potent way of turning multitude to righteousness.

Beloved see saints in Bible days both in the old and new testaments that have engaged it to save souls from perishing.

Abraham

Genesis 19:29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

Rahab the harlot.

Joshua 2:12-13 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father’s house, and give me a true token:
And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

Moses

Deuteronomy 9:18-20 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.

Beloved, God promised that if you will commit yourself to doing it, the unsaved in your world of influence, your unsaved spouse, children, parents, siblings, close and extended family members, neighbors and colleagues shall be saved.

Isaiah 62:1, 6-7 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Beloved, it is no secret, you are going to shine as a star for all eternity. So engage in turning others to righteousness through your prevailing prayers. God bless you.

Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

LESSONS FROM LEADERS IN THE BIBLE – NEHEMIAH | REPAIRER AND REBUILDER OF THE BROKEN WALL | therefore we his servants will arise and build – Nehemiah 2:20

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | June 16, 2020 | LESSONS FROM LEADERS IN THE BIBLE – NEHEMIAH | REPAIRER OF THE BROKEN WALL | Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem. – Nehemiah 2:20 

Beloved as a believing believer living to please God in all things and at all times. There is something you must be determined to cope with, as long as you are on this side of heaven. This is because it is absolutely unavoidable. It is recurrent challenges from devilish human and spirit beings, because of your faith in God.

Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

But then God also has promised to succor and defend His children that would continue to manifest unwavering confidence in Him.

Proverbs 3:26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

Proverbs 14:26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

Psalms 91:3-14 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

Habakkuk 3:17-18 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

LESSONS FROM LEADERS IN THE BIBLE – NEHEMIAH | REPAIRER AND REBUILDER OF THE BROKEN WALL | therefore we his servants will arise and build – Nehemiah 2:20

This was the stance of Nehemiah and the Jews, when they were rebuilding the broken wall of Jerusalem and were being troubled by the satanic driven heathen. See it yourself.

Nehemiah 2:20 Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.

This must be your own lifestyle too on your journey to life eternal. Be determined to look heavenward for protection from your tireless adversary. God has promised to always be there for you and His promises can not fail.

Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
