The Broad Wall
Nehemiah 3:8 Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths. Next unto him also repaired Hananiah the son of one of the apothecaries, and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall.
Many who joined hands had their skills. They were professionals, they were men of industry and not idle men. There are assignments that can not be trusted with men who have not been tried. There are walls that will require extra skill and effort …the broad wall is a place with more bricks. Not for the lazy.
The broad wall symbolises a place of extra safety, speaks of fortifications in the place of prayers. Gird up your spiritual muscles …be prepared to spend more time in prayer to repair the broad wall. There are some aspects of your destiny that will require extra effort in intercession. I pray God will give you ahead a prayer strategy for your business. It is best to pray ahead … than wait until there is a major problem.
It is too late to be building walls when the archers have already drawn their arrows. It must be done before and this will require effort, skill and industry. Set out time to intercede concerning fortifications against the enemy. Pray ahead against bitter betrayals. Pray ahead against discouragement. Pray ahead against storms. Pray ahead against wicked troubles. Repair the broad wall that will one day be required to protect you when the arrows come as they surely will. Do some extra research and preparation concerning that project.
We tend to leave the repairs of the broad wall alone until later … because of the additional spiritual effort. Get up … be stronger in prayer today. I cannot say what you will encounter later in the year, but put your best effort now into today’s intercession and extra preparations when you can see no enemies … there can be future trials that will need the broad wall repaired and intact.
Verses for further meditation
Rev 3:14-16; Hag 1:4-11
Thoughts for Business and the work place
Effective people keep two lists … Urgent items and important items. Time is allocated to both with more weight on importance … effectively delegating urgent items when you can.

Suggestions for Prayer
O Lord, strengthen me to repair in the place of prayer the broad walls. The important fortifications for tomorrow’s onslaught. 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.

I am praying someone with a burden to be used by God in building will receive a fresh vision and get the job done.
