INTRODUCTION
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAD BEEN TAKEN CAPTIVE AND THEIR CITY HAD BEEN DESTROYED, BECAUSE OF THEIR DISOBEDIENCE AND REBELLION
AFTER MANY OF THE XILES OFFERED PRAYERS OF REPENTANCE, THE LORD STIRRED UP THE HEART OF A HEATHEN KING TO GIVE FAVOR TO THE JEWS TO RETURN AND REBUILD THE TEMPLE AND CITY OF JERUSALEM
HE AWAKENED THE HEART OF A HEATHEN KING TO THE PROPHETIC UTTERANCES OF GOD’S PROPHET
YOU DON’T NEED THE FAVOR OR THE GOV’T TO BE CHRISTIAN TO OBTAIN FAVOR, GOD CAN GIVE YOU FAVOR FROM UNBELIEVERS
THE PEOPLE THAT YOU EXPECT TO HELP THE MOST, USUALLY HELP THE LEAST AND THE PEOPLE THAT YOU NEVER EXPECTED TO HELP ARE THE ONES THAT HELP THE MOST
THE KING HAD GIVEN LEAVE FOR THE JEWS TO RETURN TO ISRAEL AND REBUILD THE TEMPLE
HOWEVER, 90 YEARS HAD PASSED AND THE JEWS HAD FAILED TO COMPLETE THE TASK
OPPOSITION FROM THE ENEMY AND MISPLACED PRIORITIES HAD CAUSED THE WORK FROM BEING DONE
YOU CAN EXPECT OPPOSITION FROM ENEMIES TO COMPLETE THE PURPOSE OF GOD, BUT ONE OF THE MOST OVERLOOKED REASONS FOR COMPLETING THE WILL OF GOD ARE COMFORT AND MISPLACED PRIORITIES
HOWEVER, THROUGH THE PROPHETIC VOICES OF HAGGAI AND ZECHARAIAH, THE TEMPLE WAS REBUILT
THAT IS WHY YOU NEED PROPHETIC VOICES IN YOUR LIFE
PROPHETIC VOICES WILL BRING PROSPERITY INTO YOUR LIVES
EZRA
LIFE CAN HIT YOU SO HARD THAT YOU FALL DOWN AND DON’T WANT TO GET UP
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN HIT BY LIFE AND NOW YOU DON’T WANT TO GET UP
YOUR ENEMIES HIT YOU AND YOU FALL FROM THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU GET COMFORTABLE WHERE YOU ARE DOWN AND BEGIN PRIORITIZING OTHER THINGS
BUT, THANK GOD FOR THE REAL FRIENDS THAT WE HAVE IN LIFE
THE BIBLE SAYS, FAITHFUL ARE THE WOUNDS OF A FRIEND BUT THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL
TRUE PROPHETIC VOICES UTTER THE WORDS OF GOD INTO OUR LIVES AND WHO IS A FRIEND THAT STICKETH CLOSER THAN A BROTHER?
HAGGAI 1:3-6
STOP FOCUSSING ON YOUR COMFORT AND FINISH THE TASK THAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU
AND THEY FINISHED REBUILDING THE TEMPLE BUT THE CITY STILL REMAINED DESTROYED
SO, GOD SENDS NEHEMIAH TO JERUSALEM TO REBUILD THE CITY WALLS
UPON ARRIVAL TO JERUSALEM, NEHEMIAH SEES THAT THE PEOPLE HAD BEEN KNOCKED DOWN AGAIN
THIS TIME THEY WERE NOT COMFORTABLE, THEY WERE MISERABLE
TO GET THE PEOPLE TO TAKE ACTION, THEY HAVE TO SEE THE NEED
HOW COULD THEY HELP SUCH A GREAT NEED
THE CITY LOOKED WASTED, THE GATES WERE BURNED, AND THE WALLS WERE BROKEN DOWN
IT WAS TIME TO RISE UP AND FIGHT
1. OPPOSITION
WHENEVER YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE LORD, YOU CAN ALWAYS EXPECT OPPOSITION
WHEN NEHEMIAH WAS IN SUSA, HE RECEIVED WORD THAT HIS PEOPLE WERE IN GREAT TROUBLE
THE TROUBLE EXISTED BECAUSE THE WALLS WERE IN RUINS AND THE GATES WERE BURNED DOWN
THE GOAL OF THE ENEMY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE DEFENSELESS
WHEN YOU ARE DEFENSELESS, THE ENEMY CAN MAXIMIZE HIS ATTACK UPON YOU
YOU CANNOT CONCLUDE THAT LIFE IS A PLAYGROUND
LIFE IS NOT A PLAYGROUND
LIFE IS A BATTLEGROUND
THIS IS WHY YOU CANNOT TAKE THINGS SO EASILY
YOU HAVE TO GET SERIOUS AND EQUIP YOURSELF
SINCE THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL AND WE BATTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD
THERE ARE EXTREMELY POWERFUL BEINGS THAT STRATEGIZE AND CARRY OUT PLANS TO STOP OR HINDER THE BELIEVER’S CALL IF GOD IN THEIR LIVES
THEY ARE CRAFTY AND ATTEMPT TO SET UP A BASE OF OPERATIONS IN THE BELIEVERS LIFE
THAT IS WHY THEY WORK ON YOUR WEAKNESSES
THEY CANNOT PUSH THEIR WAY WAY INTO YOUR LIFE
THEY NEED TO BE GIVEN ACCESS BY YOU
THE SERPENT COULN’T FORCE ADAM AND EVE TO EAT OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT
HE NEEDED THEIR CONSENT
AND ONCE HE OBTAINED THEIR CONSENT, HE WAS ABLE TO DERAIL GOD’S PURPOSE FOR THEIR LIVES
YOU ARE STRENGTHENED THROUGH YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST
THAT IS WHY CHRIST SAYS ABIDE IN ME SO MANY TIMES
PAUL TELLS US TO BE STRONG IN THE LORD
THROUGH GROWING DEEPER IN A RELATIONSHIP OF DEPENDANCE UPON CHRIST, I GET STRONGER AND STRONGER
AND SINCE I HAVE COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I AM A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST, I CAN EXERCISE MY FAITH, WHICH QUENCHES ALL OF THE FIREY DARTS OF THE ENEMY
THIS MEANS THAT HE CANNOT BURN DOWN MY DEFENSES
AND WHEN I AM STRENGTHENED IN MY INNER MAN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, I CAN STOP THOSE ENEMIES THAT OPPOSE THE WILL OF GOD IN MY LIFE
THAT’S WHY, PAUL IN EPHESIANS USES AN EXTENSIVE SET OF MILITARY METAPHORS TO SHOW THE IDEA OF SPIRITUAL POWER
PAUL GOES TO THE EXTENT OF USING MILITARY METAPHORS, WHICH MEANS YOU ARE IN MORE THAN A BATTLE, YOU ARE AT WAR
I DON’T NEED NATURAL WEAPONS, WHICH IS WHY I NEED TO BE IN CHURCH
I GET EQUIPPED IN THE HOUSE OF GOD
I GET EQUIPPED WHEN I STUDY THE WORD
NEHEMIAH USES STRONG LANGUAGE TO IMPRESS THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE PEOPLE’S CONDITION
THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN BURDENED ABOUT THEIR BROKEN WALLS AND THEIR BURNT DOWN GATES
HOWEVER, PEOPLE THINK THAT THEIR BAD SITUATIONS ARE NORMAL
THEY THINK THAT THEIR HABITS ARE NORMAL, THEIR LYING IS NORMAL, THEIR JEALOUSY IS NORMAL, THEIR ANGER IS NORMAL, THEIR LUST IS NORMAL, THEIR ADDICTIONS ARE NORMAL
BUT, BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD
BUT, JUST LIKE JERUSALEM, PEOPLE GET USED TO SEEING THEIR SURROUNDING LYING WASTE
WASTED TIME, MONEY, EMOTIONS, ATTEMPTS, LIVES
NOTHING THAT GOD GIVES YO IS TO GO TO WASTE
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
FOR NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER...
GOD IS NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF WASTED LIVES, DREAMS, VISIONS, HOPES
GOD IS IN THE BUSINESS OF RESTORED LIVES, DREAMS, VISIONS, MONEY, TIME, INVESTMENTS
THIS MEANS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET IT BACK
TELL YOU NEIGHBOR, YOU’RE GOING TO GET IT BACK
YOU HAVE TO RISE UP AND FIGHT AS PAUL SAID, BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT
STRENGTHEN YOUR HANDS FOR THIS GOOD WORK
2. DIVINE WEAPONS
AS SOON AS THE ENEMIES HEARD THAT NEHEMIAH WAS REBUILDING THE WALL, THEY BEGAN TO INSULT THEM
YOU CANNOT ALLOW THE INSULTS OF THE ENEMIES TO STOP YOU
MOST OF THE TIME, THE ENEMY’S BARK IS MUCH STRONGER THAN HIS BITE
IF YOU READ THE STORY OF GOLIATH CLOSELY, YOU WILL ONLY READ ABOUT HIS INSULTS
YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT HIS VICTORIES OR READ ABOUT HIS VICTORIES
YOU ONLY READ AND HEAR ABOUT HIS SIZE AND HIS INSULTS
THE ENEMY ONLY ATTEMPTS TO SOUND BIG AND STRONG AGAINST YOU
GOLIATH WAS THROWING INSULTS AT THE ISRAELITE ARMY, AND HERE COMES DAVID
THEY TRIED TO PUT SAUL’S ARMOUR ON DAVID, BUT DAVID HAD PUT THEM OFF
AND WENT TOWARDS THE GIANT AND THE GIANT KEPT THROWING INSULTS AT DAVID
BUT DAVID SAID, YOU COME AGAINST ME WITH A SWORD, SPEAR, AND A SHIELD, BUT I COME AGAINST YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD MY GOD
HIS WEAPONS WERE NOT CARNAL
DAVID USED DIVINE WEAPONS-THE NAME OF THE LORD
THAT WHAT YOU NEED TO FIGHT WITH
THE NAME OF THE LORD YOUR GOD
SHALOM FOR PEACE
SHAMMAH FOR PRESENCE
RAPHA FOR HEALING
ROHE FOR SHEPHERDING
JIREH FOR PROVISION
M’KKADESH FOR HOLINESS
