We Need to Continue to Make People Mad
As soon as the enemies of God saw something, they were alert. The enemies of God had payed no attention to Dove World Outreach Center, no attention! Nehemiah had been the cupbearer for many, many years, or nobody knew him. Or they knew him as the good ole’ guy, the friendly church in Mile Run, knew him as the cup bearer, but now all of a sudden they don’t like him any more.
The Favor of God
In Nehemiah 2:7, we begin to see how impossible Nehemiah’s job is. This is why I do not like excuses. Reasons are OK, if they are valid, but I do not like excuses because Nehemiah was called to do something that was impossible. You have never been asked to do something that was impossible. It might have been at times hard, it might have been at times not easy, but never impossible.
What is your work ethic?
Nehemiah Series, continued...
You Can Always Return
...but if you return to Me and keep My commandments and do them, though those of you who have been scattered were in the most remote part of the heavens, I will gather them from there and will bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell.' Nehemiah 1:9
Obedient, Faithful, Powerful
"We have acted very corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.
Nehemiah 1:7
A Desperate Heart
...let Your ear now be attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant which I am praying before You now, day and night, on behalf of the sons of Israel Your servants, confessing the sins of the sons of Israel which we have sinned against You; I and my father's house have sinned. Nehemiah 1:6
I would love to get a whole bunch of Moslems together and have an Elijah challenge!
I said, "I beseech You, O LORD God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who preserves the covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments... Nehemiah 1:5
America, the Only Hope Left For the World
When I heard these words, I sat down and wept and mourned for days; and I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven. Nehemiah 1:4
The Remnant
They said to me, "The remnant there in the province who survived the captivity are in great distress and reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates are burned with fire."
Nehemiah 1:3
