Be Steadfast
Nehemiah 13:21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.
Honoring God and seeking His name to be lifted up can be a very noble thing. Fighting against things that bring dishonor to Him can however be a costly assignment. You will be hated…reviled and not just that … many traps will be set for you, to stop you. You must remain steadfast …always at your post and your guard. Using God to make money is common …commercializing worship is now a new norm … few speak against it …and those who do will have suffered for their courage. But steadfastness will one day be rewarded. In business you must be also different … find ways to distinguish yourself as a servant of God … especially in boldness. The best saints in history were bold saints … the saints who gave us the Bible, who did the most for the kingdom suffered greatly for their assignments.
What will you be known for as your accomplishment in the body of Christ? Who will stand when others fear men? Reflect on God’s assignment in your life? Are you running from tensions?
Genesis_15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

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.
