Conclusion: ACCOMPLISH Your ASSIGNMENT

The simple act of asking about someone else started a domino effect that enabled the wall to be built in 52 days! Yet Nehemiah didn’t “just build a wall.” That wall meant something more significant to the people living there. That wall was attached to a bigger plan of God. God promised to dwell with them and provide security. It represented their identity as a people. Without the wall, the people were defenseless against their enemies. The wall was part of the hope and future and prosperous plans that are talked about in Jeremiah 29:11.

No matter how big or small your God-given assignment is, when you follow God and the path He's shown us in His Word, you'll have success.

With Nehemiah, the wall was built! To be clear, though, Nehemiah wasn’t a success, but the work of God was a huge success. We’ll always be successful when we follow God’s way of accomplishing God’s work.
