Thou art not sick
Nehemiah 2:2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid
How does the king know that Nehemiah is not sick? Indeed everything has been done to make Nehemiah comfortable and well. All the needs of Nehemiah have been met … there is no cause for him to be bothered – the sorrow of Nehemiah is in his heart.
You are well in Jesus name. It is well in Jesus name … It is well with your soul – do not let this truth elude you, but there are issues of the heart God has ordained you will respond to …in faith. What do I mean? God has allowed certain matters to bother you, certain issues to perturb you. Do not seek an easy deliverance from these issues. Instead consider them carefully, your destined area of operation is linked to the issues that God has permitted to keep you awake.
Are you concerned about illness and health of others ? …maybe there is work for you in the healthcare arena. Do you feel pained by the use of media …. maybe you are a gift to media. Are you pained by the unemployment of many …maybe you will be a large employer of labor. To be burdened is not the same as to be sick. To be burdened can be a gift from God … accept the burden even if it causes a sad countenance.
Trust God, soon a way will be made for the burden to be made light.

O Lord, hasten to help me … make a way where there is no way. Hastily come to my help. Amen
As Nehemiah’s wall was built- so will we see a reconstruction in all that may appear in distress and in waste. Nehemiah trusted and feared God, putting his faith in the Almighty whose strength is limitless to exceed all our expectations. Look out for Nehemiah’s Wall from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 and do invite friends to subscribe to the free email or social media posts.
I am praying someone with a burden to be used by God in building will receive a fresh vision and get the job done.
