The House of the Mighty
Nehemiah 3:16 After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of the half part of Bethzur, unto the place over against the sepulchres of David, and to the pool that was made, and unto the house of the mighty.
The Word of God distinguishes between men and has its own hall of faith. Great men and heroes of the faith are mentioned. Men like David and his mighty men. God recognises that there are mighty men. But instead we see only broken down sepulchers and the house of those who should be called mighty in ruins. Men that God called to do great exploits living like there was no purpose to their existence. Do not live in a false modesty. It is not pride to be whom God has called you to be and God needs His mighty men in business, government and ministry. He needs men of valor in the financial markets. Do you sense God’s mighty men in disarray and pitiful ruins? Men, destined to stand in uncommon faith and exploits, hiding in caves.
Nehemiah the son of Azphuk repaired after the others … till the repairs reached the vicinity of the house of the mighty. I pray all that has been broken down in your life will be brought back to life. I pray that the destructions you see all around you will be repaired. I pray that as you begin that venture, you will witness the might of God and be as those that were called mighty in the word of God. May you be mighty in faith, boldness, faithfulness, loyalty, love, forgiveness and holiness by the special grace of God.
There are those that must be brought up to fulfil mighty destinies for God. You may be one of them.

O Lord, may your greatness and might overflow in my life. 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.
