The Work of Jehovah
Nehemiah 11:5 And Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Colhozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Shiloni.
A name for example is mentioned and traced to seven generations. The name means “the work of Jehovah” and when mentioned, confesses that all that they are doing is the work of God. His parentage is traced back to seven generations linking him to seven other names. A good name is protected because it will not just affect you today but it will be in the records and can color impressions even up to seven generations after.
In societies where history is so carefully recorded and the records of names and what they did carefully kept, one will observe a caution to preserve a good name or rescue one that has been damaged. In all, there tends to be an ordered decorum and deliberate efforts for good in society so that the name gives present and past generations a positive brand to build on.

Suggestions for Prayer
Jesus is the name above all names. In that name, we pray that your will and purposes will prosper in our lives. 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 daily for Nehemiah’s Wall in 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.
