Main Scripture: So
built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof:
for the people had a mind to work. Nehemiah 4:6 (KJV) – Read the Book of
Nehemiah.
Ladies, after you have completed the six steps mentioned over the last
two days, it is now time to build:
1.
Build – Now you are
ready to put up your building, you are ready to work on building your marriage,
launch your new career, launch your new business, or move to another level with
your Christian walk. In Nehemiah’s case he was determined to rebuild the wall
of Jerusalem. Rebuilding the wall did not come without its own set of obstacles
however; the people had a mind to work so they still got it done.
While Nehemiah was building the wall there were
those who were saying that that he could not get it done, they even laughed at
him (Nehemiah 2:19). Ladies in same way, when you are working toward your goals
and aspirations, there will always be naysayers, however, if you have a mind to
work and follow the steps outlined. You can be confident like Nehemiah in
Chapter 2:20 that the Lord of heaven will make you succeed and that your
enemies will have no portion in it.
Secondly, there are people who you are expecting
support from that will not support you. In Nehemiah 3: 5, we saw where the
nobles did not help to build the wall. However, ladies do not be dismayed; God
will open doors for you that you did not even know was there. He will even
cause strangers to help you to build. Adopt a posture like Nehemiah; pray every
step of the way being confident that God is supporting you.
Thirdly, there are people who will even try to
stop you. There are always going to be people who don’t want to see your
marriage work, or your children turn out to be successful. As such they will
try everything to ensure that you do not achieve your goal. However, once you
have a mind to work like Nehemiah, watch out for them but do not stop working.
Be determined to finish the course you started at school or to get your
ministry working.
Ladies, God has placed you where you are by
design. Like He did with Nehemiah, He placed a desire upon your heart that must
be manifested. Be determined to get it done, have a made up mind that you are
going to do it no matter what obstacles may come your way. There is a saying “If
God brings you to it, he will bring you through it.” This was evident in Nehemiah’s
case. All God wants you to do is “have a mind to work”.
God Bless You. Let’s Pray.
Lord we thank you for all that you have thought
us. We thank you Lord for the desires and the situations in our lives. Lord as
we meet up on our obstacles, we stand on your word that says you will never
leave us or forsake. Lord, give us the strength and the grace to work towards achieving
that which you have placed in our hearts. We claim success in all our
endeavours.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
