Topic: Do It With God!
Text: Nehemiah 6 : 15- 16
15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days.16 When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God. Amen
Dedication to hard work is a wonderful virtue that gurantees great success when conditions are right. But who is it that controls all these conditions that ought to be right? God!, ain’t it?
Man loves to be seen and known as the one in charge of his affairs and responsible for his successes. However, he will never hesitate to blame others when he fails. But who doesn’t know that to fail or succeed depends on trusting God and not his own ability?
Nehemiah’s attempt to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem was met with strong opposition, both from within and without. When the wall was completed, all who opposed them before then, now became terrified. In fact, with the manner in which Nehemiah and his team survived all the evil emitted against them and still completed the wall, the haters just knew that God must have been with them.
It is good to desire great achievements and actually work towards realising them, but, why don’t you add God to all you do and say? Why won’t you rather decrease so He increases in you?
He works impossible things into great possibilities. His wisdom is higher, His word is true, His genuity is excellent, His power is strong, His love is deep, and commitment; unfailing!
Before you start, add Jesus! Be careful to end with Him too. He will perfect your efforts with His excellence. Even your enemies will know that you have succeeded by the help of the Lord.
Rise up and begin to pray. Are you not going too fast? Why are you rushing with ideas and decisions like you have the power to ensure their implementation and success? Halt, say a prayer! Let God lead the way, instead. He has never failed anyone yet! Click: https://youtu.be/4TXn9YUXyT0
