Meaning of Burden  

Tuesday April 2nd

Text: Nehemiah 1: I - 5
Key verse:

Lamentation 1:16 For these things I weep: mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
Nehemiah was from the tribe of Judah and was a lover of his nation. He was a cupbearer to the king of Persia, a great position indeed. Some men came from Jerusalem and he inquired of the condition of the Jews in Jerusalem and of the city. They told him that the remnant left of the captivity there in the province were in great affliction and reproach. They were suffering. They were despised. Their dignity was gone in the sight of their neighboring nations. The wall of Jerusalem also was broken down and the gates thereof burnt with fire. We have lost our image. We have lost our dignity. We are being despised.
When Nehemiah heard this, burden immediately filled his heart. Their reply triggered a great burden in Nehemiah; he felt the pain. What is burden? It is a hard situation in which a man is troubled, disturbed and seriously concerned over adversities, problem or pain in himself or in someone else. Effects of burden include the following: You are in pain; you are disturbed; it takes away laughter from you; you are filled and in a state of unrest because of what you have seen or what you have heard, because of the situation you find yourself in. 
From our key verse, you see this man in pain, in sorrow and weeping because the enemy had prevailed over his children. The children are desolate. The children are in great reproach. The children are in great distress. It disturbed him so tears were running out of his eyes because of the situation. This is a burden. So, you could see the burden in the heart of Nehemiah. The pitiable state of the world should create burden in the hearts of all believers, considering that the vast majority of humanity are doomed and in dire need of Christ’s salvation and holiness.

Thought for the day: The pitiable state of the world should create burden in believers 

Song for the day: Holy Ghost, do it again

Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 4-7

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be

VIRTUOUS WOMEN FOR END TIME REVIVAL SATURDAY APRIL 29 TEXT: John 4: 39-42 Key Verse: “And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God” Ruth 1: 16 When the Lord shall come He shall gather the wheat but the tares shall be cut down and cast into the lake of fire, God is looking for some wheat to use.
