The prophet Nehemiah, in the chapter 2.11, cheered people up. Some fights and situations come and make God`s people discouraged. The walls of Jerusalem were fallen, the city of Israel was burning, many of them were taken as slaves, and people were hidden. God had put in Jeremiah`s heart the wish of coming back to the city and rebuild the walls of the city that was torn down with few poor dwellers.

There`s a spiritual war with devil trying to discourage you saying you`re not able to solve, on the other hand, God says it definitely has a solution. Your eyes see destruction, failures, defeat, and visually there is nowhere to lean on likewise Nehemiah Maybe, you have been through the same condition as Nehemiah was; facing adversities which you think it`s impossible to find a solution and not being aware of what to do. So, take a look at what Nehemiah did: he had a purpose that God put in his heart and when we have this kind of purpose, we can be sure we win and overcome all of the obstacles that prevent us from fulfilling it Israeli people, from Jerusalem, suffered because they had turned their back to God. That`s the future of those who turn their back to God and abandon Him such as misery, fear, suffering, shame, humiliation. But God never leaves or turns His back to the people. It`s good to come to the church to listen to a faithful word, thus, cheer you up. Nehemiah was like a cheerful priest, who did his best and cheered the people up. But be aware that, every time you cheer yourself up in order to do something, there will always be a Sanballat, one of devil`s son, to discourage you. One of the most powerful weapon devil uses is the fear. God`s Word says in love there`s n o fear and the perfect love gets rid of fear, which produces torment, and prevents us from improving our love. If you love God, don`t be afraid of conquering, of not happening, of not being, of doing, of going. Don`t care if people become against you because they fail. Be aware that the Greatest One is the One who is by your side. In the world we live in, it`s difficult to find an open hand to support us, but you and I can count on God`s hand, which is always open to help us. It`s the God from Heaven who guarantees our victories and makes us well succeeded. God, however, won`t do for you what you have to do. Take the hammer, move the bricks, prepare the cement that was the work of men and Nehemiah. God multiplied the material, strength, means, blessed to turn their work better, but the sweat was from them. God won`t come to the church and won`t seek for you, not even fast and climb up the mountain in your shoes. It`s necessary for you to make efforts and the miracle is His part and He will perform it. Many people wait from God without doing anything, but we have to take over our position. The reconstruction of the wall took fifty-two days. The wall is still big and at that time, they didn`t have machine to help in the construction. They succeeded in what it seemed impossible because God`s hands were with them. If God`s hand is with you, you will also succeed Those ones, who wish you evil, will recognize that God is in your life and when you accomplish what God put in your heart, they will withdraw frightened. They will enquire for the glory of God because they will see that the impossible condition happens, they will see that God is God. At the most difficult moment, God manifests, just trust in Him.
