A cup-bearer to a governor...!

Nehemiah 6:15-16 NKJV

So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days. And it happened, when all our enemies heard of  it, and all the nations around us saw these  things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.

Shalom! Day #152. Do you know that when the favor of God is upon you when you are doing something for the Lord and at the same time people may come against you? Let's pray. Father, we come before you today as we live in your favor, give us the strength to accomplish the works that you want us to finish and let us not falter at any point because the threat of the enemies. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Nehemiah, from a cup-bearer to a builder to a governor. There is still no one such as Nehemiah who can complete the building of a city's wall in 52 days. Nehemiah, filled with passion, zeal and anguish in his heart to see his homeland be restored. Although the enemies tried to stop him from building the walls, yet he pursued. Why he was able to build it in 52 days? Because the Hand of God was upon him. Because the favor of God was upon him. He left as a cup-bearer, and he began to built the walls as a cup-bearer. At this point he is still a cup-bearer. It doesn't matter who you are, what you are, what's your status is. It doesn't matter whether you have doctorates statuses or wealthy man or poor man, God is ONLY LOOKING FOR THOSE HEARTS WHO IS WILLING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! The prayers of Nehemiah caught the heart of God and God took him as he is and use him to accomplish the work! Are you willing to do His works without looking at your circumstances?

Nehemiah was a leader by example. He leads the people by example. Many bosses will just tell you what to do but the bosses will not do it. A leader will show how it is done. Which means he will do, educate the followers on the things that needs to be done. A boss will say "you do" but a leader will say "let's do it together." Again, why Nehemiah was able to unite the people and to just focused on one thing, the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem? Because the Hand of God was upon him. God's favor was upon him. There will always be opposition from people. They will try their best to stop you, but if your focus is fully upon God and faithfully doing the things God has put in your heart, I tell you, no matter how big the threat is, you will still prospers and accomplish it. Single hearted, Single minded. Be faithful. Do not falter. Be bold to make a difference. Be willing to be used by God. Be faithful and do it with all your heart for promotion comes from the Lord.

And it happened, when all our enemies heard of  it, and all the nations around us saw these  things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
