New Move Of God

Day 136

Reading: Nehemiah 5:1 - Nehemiah 7:73

God is raising a new generation of leaders. 500 years ago the Reformation began when Martin Luther placed 95 theses or disputation on the power of indulgences. This brave act by Martin Luther began the schism of the Catholic Church and gave birth to the Protestant movement. Martin Luther was not the likeliest character to begin a new move of God and neither was Nehemiah.

God is raising Nehemiahs who will rebuild the walls of cities. Nehemiah was not called or anointed like David or Saul. We meet Nehemiah serving the king in a position that may well be described as a civil servant in today's terms. Nehemiah was even promoted to become the Governor of Judah while living in Jerusalem. I believe God is raising a Nehemiah-like generation of leaders who will change the nations. Their only interest is in the well-being of the people. 

In this new move, there will be a synergy where the people come together and rebuild the walls. Working together with others in rebuilding the walls of God's Kingdom will enhance one another and also give speed to the work. As I read the passages of scriptures I was struck at how Nehemiah's priority was the people and not himself. He was a selfless leader. Nehemiah didn't enjoy the perks of leadership not because he couldn't. He chose not to burden the people further. How I pray that especially in developing nations leaders would adopt this principle from Nehemiah and maybe taxes would fall and corruption would be hit hard. 

Nehemiah also teaches us how to deal with enemies of the Kingdom. He didn't have time to entertain the panderings of Sanballat and Tobiah. Even when he was advised to run and hide in the temple he discerned that it was the voice of the enemy and not God. Nehemiah had to deal with false prophets also. In this new move learn to hear the voice of God. Be led by God alone. Let the voice of God be real to you alone. 

The new move will accomplish things with speed that when nations hear of it it will be said that only God could have done it. God is going to unleash speed to enable believers in this new move to accomplish things faster through the power of unity. The enemy will be disheartened on hearing and seeing the things God will do through this new move. God is releasing Nehemiahs that will go about His business of rebuilding the walls of the cities. 

Memory Verse: Nehemiah 5:19

Decree:

Nehemiah 6:16
And it happened, when all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations around us saw these things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God. (italics mine)

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
