Be Zealous For The Work Of God      

Wednesday May 15th

Text: Nehemiah 2: 9 - 18

Key verse: Romans 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.
I was blessed by the story of a woman in Jos that joined HOREMOW and was serving God with much zeal. The husband said, “You must leave HOREMOW or our marriage will stop. I will divorce you in the court.” She said, “Praise Jesus! I have been looking for time to preach this gospel from place to place but I am arrested here. Did you say you will take me to court? Praise the Lord. Go and do it. Hey! What good news! That I shall be free to preach the gospel from place to place. I will fly from Jos to Lagos. Next week I will be in Sokoto. Then I shall travel to Benin Republic. I will go to preach in London and I shall see Israel with my eyes. I will go to America and stir revival there. Praise the Lord!” After a period of time, she reminded him to hasten the divorce letter but the husband replied, “Please, leave me alone.” That was the end of the divorce threat from her husband.
When Nehemiah got the burden, he went to prayer. God, it is true. We really sinned. We disobeyed you that is why these things happened. Jerusalem lieth waste. The people are in great distress and reproach. It is our sin. The gate of the city is burnt down. It is our sin Lord. We are sorry. We have sinned but God I must rectify these things. I must bring revival to the people. I must recover this people in righteousness and holiness. I must bring this people back to you. So, God grant me favour before the king. Let the vision of my heart be worked out by you and the good hand of the Lord was released upon him. 
Nehemiah had come. Burden, vision and action! He came to survey the place to understand properly the situation. He went round to consider the city; the heart was on fire. He saw the reproach indeed. As he was going he was also seeing the situation of the people. His heart burnt within him. This thing must be done. This principle obtains even among the sinners: Vision, Burden, Action! 

Thought for the day: When Nehemiah got the burden, he went to prayer. Do likewise.

Song for the day: We are able to go up and take the country …

Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 29-31

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
