Empowered
Nehemiah 2:7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;
Nehemiah needs to be empowered. He needs letters, he must wait to be empowered with authority …letters must be written. There is a lot that the king must do for him. One way to recognize God at work is the help of men. When men begin to position you, and help comes from all known and unknown corners … you can be sure that God is at work. There is an ease that happens only because of God’s favor. You cannot do much without an empowerment that must come from God. You need help … letters, money …governors must be told about you – to clear the way from you.
When you see the way is being cleared for you, it means God has gone ahead. Remember your vision and plan and requests were all incubated in the place of prayer and intercession. When the God of heaven has given a plan, it is empowered and aided with a divine facilitation. Go back to prayer until you sense His unstoppable hand moving ahead of your endeavors. It is time to get started …

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.
