Nehemiah 2:17-18
1)Nehemiah told them about the condition of the city of Jerusalem.
* Knowing present conditions:
It is very important to know the present condition.we are so busy with our own work with our own problems.About the condition of the stocks and our 401k.Do we bother thinking about the spiritual conditions and whats going on in our country spiritually?Do you know:
a)In May a federal judge ruled out that National Day of prayer is unconstitutional.
b)Last week another federal judge said the law about the same sex marriage is unconstitutional.
c)There are more people believe now that there are more then one way to go to heaven.
d)More couples are living together(as husband and wife) without getting married then ever before.
2)Neh 2:18.He told them about the promises of the king and the help he promises to give.
* The promises of the king:
Don't be afraid we have the King of kings.He promised us not to worry and go weary.Before He was taken away in to the heaven He told His disciple "All authorities has been given to me in heaven and on earth..........I will be with you always even to the end of the age"
Why we are afraid?why we are disappointed?why we are loosing heart?why we are falling back?
The King of kings is with us.
APPLICATION:
Neh 2:18b Having heard everything people said :Let us arise and build"
So let us arise and start building our country.Our Lord is with us.We have His promises and His strength.Don't loose heart.It is time to be strong.No matter what happen we will still build and will bring this country back to Jesus.No political leader can stop us.No judge will stop us.We will be strong and we will build.
Amen
