Lean on God

The world won`t understand you, you need to be concerned about your faithfulness at God

While the text from Nehemiah 4.1 took place, cities had walls and Jerusalem had lost its walls, broken down. The city was burned, Nehemiah asked the king for giving him authorization for rebuilding the walls of the city. Everytime someone tries to rebuild himself, there will be a son of devil to try to prevent you, try to make your faith ridiculous While Jews tried to rebuild the walls, their enemies got angry and mocked them. You may live something similar with people mocking your faith, getting angry at your faith, that`s something you may face even at your home. The world will always say you are weak, but the God we serve is strong and He makes us strong too. Never confess failure Jews became unable, with no financial resources and everything was turned into dust, without possibilities of fixing. It was an impossible job because they didn`t have either labor force or material to work, just debris and dust. Never hope the world will understand your faith, or support from someone who is out of the church because you won`t have them, we have to lean on God. Never give up your dreams. This church, in Brás, is an example that God will provide you with the victory before any impossible condition. Likewise, if anyone wishes you evil, never return him or her this evil and never be concerned about it because God sees and He will give it back to him or her on behalf of you. On the other hand, everything God does to your life will make them astonished and haunt their lives. They will see the glory of God in your life and they will harvest what they plant. Those who rise against the ones who belong to God, fight with God and they are lost.

It`s worthless your concerns, just put them in God`s hands and worry about pleasing the Lord and being faithful because He is the One who will deliver you from evil. Do what He wishes and you will be cared by Him

You can`t lose energy because the gift prepared for you is a good thing, and it`s coming. Even so, the Bible says we have to watch out and pray. Their enemies wanted to kill people to prepare, angry, while the people from Israel prayed and watched out. God allows us to die, but not in enemies’ hands. Nehemiah told everyone not to fear their enemies, but to fight for their families. We have to fight for our families, for our related ones, for our home. Our God is big and Powerful and those who mock Him should be careful. It`s not enough for you to work hard, you have to be like that people; one hand at work and another one at the sword, which is the Word of God. It`s not enough to be honest and work hard, if God`s word is not with you, your enemies will defeat you, evil will defeat you. Work, but seek God as well. Your success won`t come from the strength of your arm, but have time to seek God. Those who seldom come to the church are seldom blessed. People rebuild the wall in 56 days, when their neighbors Gentiles heard about, they became disappointed and feared, ashamed and recognized the work was done under divine intervention. Your enemies will be this way too because God will honor you. They will recognize that the miracle in your life came from God
