Religion & Spirituality
Nehemiah didn't only pray, he became the answer to his own prayers for restoration. He returned to Jerusalem to lead the transfor¬mation effort of the city. If our community is going to be transformed, it will be as a result of our prayer and our labour with God to bring it to pass. It will require our sacrifice of time, resources, commitment, and responsibility. Maybe today God has spoken to you about having a critical spirit and you need to confess to Almighty God that you have criticized Him by criticizing one of His creation. Maybe it is that you have stopped doing what God wants you to do because you have looked for the approval of others rather that Our Father God Himself. Maybe today you are here and for whatever reason you feel that you cannot go on. Maybe you are in need of the comfort of others and to hear the reminder that, “you belong to God, …. You have already won your fight …., because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. Maybe today you need to give the alarm and have those within the fellowship of this church ‘stand in the gap’ in prayer and ask for your protection.
