Nehemiah Chapter 6

Nehemiah Chapter 6

Series: Nehemiah: The Call to the Wall We are the most distracted people of all time. Technology makes life easier and complicated. You have been called and equipped to do something special for God. Here’s todays challenge, if we don’t stay focused, we’ll find ourselves distracted from our purpose and living without margin (the gap between where I am and burnout). Let’s shut the door on distractions. Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies found out that I had finished rebuilding the wall and that no gaps remained— though we had not yet set up the doors in the gates. 2 So Sanballat and Geshem sent a message asking me to meet them at one of the villages in the plain of Ono. Nehemiah 6:1-2

Ephesians 2 says, we are His “workmanship”, which translates the ancient Greek word poiema. The idea is that we are His” beautiful poem”. The Jerusalem Bible translates workmanship as “work of art.”

God’s love is transformative: It meets us right where we are, and it always takes us where we should be going.
Nehemiah: I’d like to say he was an ordinary guy but he was extraordinary!

He was faithful in obscurity, then God raised him up to national prominence for His people Israel!

It’s important to be faithful where you are planted.
When the work is going down, opposition always comes up.

If your enemy can’t stop you, he’ll try to distract you!
Be on guard when you're, 'Almost done but not yet.

Watch for the attacks of the enemy!

What we often think is an opportunity, God calls a distraction.
NO!
One of the most strategic words in our arsenal to keep us on purpose!
Even Jesus said, "No".
Be strategic in saying, “No”.

i. It’s not that we don’t care but we care more about what the Lord has for us.
ii. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean we should do something.
We may as well accept it: the devil knows our hot buttons.

You will never do big things if you’re distracted by small-minded people!

Don’t worry about what people say about you. Worry about what’s true about you.
All for His Glory
It's all worth it!
