Contemplate through faith what you are given by God

Nehemiah had attitude and never got crestfallen for what other people mocked about him. Do the same.

Nehemiah said in Nehemiah 2: 11 that he didn`t tell anyone what God put in his heart because it was something very big and humanly speaking it was impossible to happen, to become true. There are moments in our lives that it`s interesting to be quiet. When God reveals what He is going to do in your life, report some of them, but others, it`s better to be quiet.

José had a dream that his brothers bent to him. They didn`t like José very much, and when he reported that, his brothers put him into a cistern and sold him. Nehemiah was a butler; he served water, coffee, in charge of the kitchen, housekeeping. Figure out a butler talking to the king, courts, and members of the high society what God put in his heart.

God put in Nehemiah’s heart he should stand up, rebuild the walls, which were destroyed. Jerusalem`s gates were burnt, plagued and God put in his heart to rebuild the walls. The king, the priests, and some judges didn`t believe in that anymore and Nehemiah cheered the people up. It`s acceptable if a king calls up the nation and gives them a motivational order, if a priest does it, it`s also acceptable, a judge, but Nehemiah was just a butler. God never follows rules. God`s issues to the world seems madness. Faith always goes opposite those who are wise. If you don`t trust in God, your space gets smaller and smaller, that`s why we have to act our faith. Nehemiah didn`t accept the walls running down while the others were unbelievers. A great proportion of opposite situations grows and seems huge, but if you face them, God will provide conditions to change them. We can`t have cowardly attitudes because God is with us. By faith, Nehemiah contemplated the restored walls and the same must be done by our faith. Contemplate by your faith your healed related one, your better job, your life in order because God knows everything about your life and can bring provisions in your favor to it. Many of those men enquired about Nehemiah and heard about God, so, when they got to know about it, they mocked him, who heard everything quietly because he was aware that the door God opens, no one is able to close. When they ended, Nehemiah reassured his position, which we need to do. We need to have attitude and take position in favor of God`s promises. Devil`s strategy against Nehemiah was to use the king, who was disappointed, prostrated, as if God`s wish expressed by Nehemiah were claim against the king, driving the people against the king. I imagine the king looking at Jerusalem and observing just failures and accepting defeats. I imagine Nehemiah talking about those walls, the way he saw them all restored Think your victory over, your health, your delivered relative, and your job. God will. Devil laughs out loud looking mockery. We are nothing, but we have a living and powerful God together with us who acts for us. Nehemiah didn`t care about that situation, so he told those people, who ignored and mocked him, they wouldn`t have the right, and much less memories from God`s part to the work. Everyone who was willing to do it, entered. Never mind if they mock, laugh at you, just believe in God. I know it hurts, jokes hurt a lot, but that`s why you don`t have to be concerned, just contemplate your victories. Who put you at the church was not apostle or me, it was God who called you up because He wants to change your life, your condition, your history, so trust in Him. Some moments of our life, we feel pain, like baby baring, terrible pains, which take our breath away, but keep going forward because God will relieve them and soon you will report the impossible
