Read: NEHEMIAH 1-2
Summary:
Nehemiah is a high official in the Persian court. He is disturbed when he hears of conditions in Judea and prays fervently for his homeland. Nehemiah also determines to act. When king Artaxerxes notices his distress, Nehemiah offers a quick prayer and requests permission to rebuild Jerusalem. The king makes Nehemiah governor of Judea. Nehemiah makes a nightmare survey of Jerusalem, examining its fallen walls. Only then does he share his vision of a rebuilt Jerusalem and reveal his loyal commission. The response of the Jews is zealous, but the pagan officials who rule the larger province ridicule the notion of rebuilding and charge that the act constitutes rebellion. Nehemiah answers them bluntly. This is the Jew's city, of which they have no part. With God's help, its walls will rise again.
Prayer Point:
In the name of Jesus Christ as I pray, O' Lord open every closed door you ordain in my life.
- What insights did you gain?
- How can you apply this passage in your life?
No man can counterfeit what God has ordain,but there are responsibilities that can activate what God has ordained.Now to understand this well from the account,after Nehemiah had been told by his brethren and certain men of Judah about the great afliction and reproach of the Jews and how the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down and the gates thereof are burned with fire(Nehemiah1:3).The first responsibility Nehemiah decided to embark on was to fast and pray(Nehemiah1:4).The second responsibility Nehemiah decided to embark on is to structure or plan(Nehemiah2:12-16).The third responsibility Nehemiah decided to embark on is to build(Nehemiah2:17).
