I will not stop because of unhealthy relationships

I will fulfill my purpose

God is my confidence

As we close this series, the question that I want to ask is.....

Are you doing God’s work?

If you’re not doing God’s work then you are doing your own work.

You are being driven by your desires…

Led by your own understandings

but it’s never to late to make a U-turn

God wants to position us as representatives in His kingdom on earth

Do you know that you are placed in a space to bring change?

Nehemiah was the kings cup bearer - He was apart of the government

A position that kept him close to the King…

God will put you in the right place at the right time

Nehemiah 1:1–2 ESV

The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the citadel, that Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah. And I asked them concerning the Jews who escaped, who had survived the exile, and concerning Jerusalem.

God’s work will produce a passion to ask questions!

God’s work will create opportunities to share your passions in front of the right people

Nehemiah 2:2–5 ESV

And the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, seeing you are not sick? This is nothing but sadness of the heart.” Then I was very much afraid. I said to the king, “Let the king live forever! Why should not my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ graves, lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?” Then the king said to me, “What are you requesting?” So I prayed to the God of heaven. And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ graves, that I may rebuild it.”

Not only will you share…

But you will find favor…

God’s work brings transformation - “That I may rebuild it”

Affirm IT - I will not stop

God will strengthen my hand

Nehemiah 6:15–16 ESV

So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days. And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem, for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.

Just so you know....

And let all all the nations know…

God is the only reason why the wall was completed

I can’t take the credit…

He is my health and strength

He is the source of my power

He is my help

If it had not been for the Lord…

Affirm It.....

It shall be completed
