A Journey though the Book of Nehemiah

Part 4

Nehemiah 4

9 But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.

Prayer doesn’t always changes circumstances,

prayer always equips me to act in the midst of circumstances.

14 After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.”

Un-covenantal 

(destructive criticism) 

vs. 

covenantal response

20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!”

adopt the covenantal language:

1. God is on your side (holiness)

2. You are His special people 

(not for VIP but as His missionaries)
