The Fight Club

Neh 4.13-14

Nehemiah 4:13–14 (MEV)

13 Therefore I set guards at the lowest positions along the wall and just inside the wall at the un-repaired areas. I also stationed the people by families providing them individually their own swords, spears, and bows.

14 After I looked around, I stood up and said to the nobles, the rulers, and the rest of the people, “Stop being terrified because of them! Remember instead that the Lord is great and awesome. So fight for each other—and for your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”

My Subject Tonight is the starting of a message that i plan to preach as a series. So thank you Apostle for this..

I want to talk about The Fight Club!!!!

This Club has no restrictions you just have to be ready.. You guessed it 2 FIGHT......

Before you start balling up your first and start sizing folks up, This fight don’t require physical violence.

I done lost 100 people right there.. Because some of us are in the fight Club, but we fighting our bother and sister and not our adversary..

I have never seen so many hostel usher’s, praise team members, pastor’s & deacon’s in my Life.

Here are some signs you in the wrong fight club?

1. You’re Being Divisive

2. You’re Growing Arrogant

3. You’re starting to blur moral lines

Occasionally leaders move from relatively deep obedience to an extraordinary moral breach overnight, but usually, it’s far more subtle than that.

As C.S. Lewis says in the Screwtape Letters, “the safest road to hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.”

I Don’t care where you go, Church, Home, Work, a funeral, supermarket, social media… There’s always someone that has the potential to really be used by God in the Club, but they choose to fight in the wrong club..

They fight against the vision, the fight against the Leadership, They fight against Progression. And Why......

Galatians 5:19 NKJV

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

Galatians 5:20–21 NKJV

20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But there is another wrong fight Club that some of us has joined. and today we going to cancel our membership...

This club beats up themselves.. They are there worst enemy, they hate themselves and can’t believe God, Jesus, a potential Husband or Wife could ever Love someone like them..

So they sabotage every healthy relationship...............

Elbow that neighbor and ask them have you canceled that membership yet?

Then We have THE FIGHT CLUB

This Club always has a fearless Leader. Who Knows how to fight in the spirit. And is skilled in all kinds of Warfare.

Fight Club leadership are Apostolic In every application.

Fight club leaders have the gift of discernment, The word of Knowledge & The Word of Wisdom

Nehemiah 4:2–3 AMP

2 And he said before his brethren and the army of Samaria, What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore things [at will and by themselves]? Will they [try to bribe their God] with sacrifices? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burned? 3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was near him, and he said, What they build—if a fox climbs upon it, he will break down their stone wall.

Nehemiah heard every word they said..

If you don’t think you leader don’t hear whats being whispered on the Low, your deceiving yourself..

Brother’s we need this type of weapon in our arsenal to defend our families...

Look At how Nehemiah fought back..

Nehemiah 4:4–5 AMP

4 [And Nehemiah prayed] Hear, O our God, for we are despised. Turn their taunts upon their own heads, and give them for a prey in a land of their captivity. 5 Cover not their iniquity and let not their sin be blotted out before You, for they have vexed [with alarm] the builders and provoked You.

2. Fight Club leaders have the gift of application of vision.

Nehemiah 4:6 KJV

6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.

3. Fight Club Leaders have a God given Strategy

The Holy Bible: King James Version Chapter 4

7 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth, 8 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.

The Holy Bible: King James Version (Chapter 4)

9 Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God,

The Holy Bible: King James Version (Chapter 4)

and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

Look At this: Prayer Warriors & Watchers Day- Night

4. Fight Club Leaders Have the Power Of Influence

Nehemiah 4:14 (KJV)

14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people,

Brothers our influence in is this season, is much greater than we can imagine..

Like Nehemiah:

We Need to Look Up

We Need to Rise Up

He identified 3 different classes of people in his club.

1. Nobels: high birth or exalted rank : ARISTOCRATIC

(Let’s Call them The Royal Brothers)

2.The Rulers: In a political sense a ruler was one who exercised political control over a state, The Hebrew term for “prefect” (KJV ruler)

(Lets Call Them The Board Room Brothers)

The 3rd group can be the hardest to influence: the rest of the people

Lets just call them the Millianal’s Brothers..)

14th verse says Nehemiah looked up & Rose Up,

Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible,

and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
