BIBLE READING: Nehemiah 1:3-6
3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
5 And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father’s house have sinned.
MESSAGE:
God is a Master Strategist, and He has different strategies to handle different situations. When Nehemiah decided to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, he was smart enough to pray first, and God gave him the right strategy. God told him to tell the volunteers to rebuild the walls with one hand and carry weapons on the other hand with which they could defend themselves from any form of attack from their enemies.
Beloved, learn from the story of Nehemiah. When you are faced with a challenge at school or at home, the first thing you need to do is pray. Proverbs 3:5 says, “…lean not unto thine own understanding,” which means that for you to apply the right strategy to any situation, you should seek God’s face first.
Before I pray for people, I always talk to God first. Sometimes, He would instruct me to lay hands on the sick; at other times, He would just ask me to pray, but there was a time He said I should invite people who were sick to the altar and dance around them. It sounded foolish, but l obeyed, and they all got healed. My dear child, if you are going through any difficult situation, ask God to show you a strategy to overcome that situation now, and He will give you the best strategy.
KEY POINT:
God has the best strategy to handle any situation; just ask Him.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Hosea 4:1-5:15, 2 John 1:1-13
HYMN 12: Onward Christian Soldiers
1 Onward, Christian
soldiers, marching as to War,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle, see his banner go!
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of JesUs going on before!
2 At the name of Jesus Satan’s host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise!
3 Like a mighty army moves the church of God:
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod;
We are not divided; all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
4 Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the church Jesus constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never ‘gainst that church prevail
We have Christ’s own promise and that cannot fail
5 0nward, then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices, in the triumph song;
Glory, praise and honour, unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages, men and angels sing.
