Nehemiah: God's Invitation to Rebuildಮಾದರಿ

Commitment

I have one question: Are you willing to put your name on the line and commit to living for God?

Think about it. Are you wholeheartedly willing to put your name on the line for Christ? Are you ready to live your life for Him? Are you willing to give up the sin and confess your bondage to God so that you can have freedom from the enemy's chains?

In Nehemiah 9, we see that the people of Israel confessed their sins; sins in which they had been deliberate to commit, constantly pushing God further away. They had not been glorifying to God, nor were they genuine or obedient to keep God’s law. But, God is much bigger and stronger than Israelites understood then, or that we ever understand today. The Israelites made a covenant to return to their First Love. They committed to uphold the law and return to the standards God had established for them many years before. By making this commitment, God's chosen people could reestablish order and return to serving God in a way that pleased him.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I ask you to reveal areas in my life that keep me from loving and serving you the way you deserve
