Nehemiah 4:6

"So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work."

Devotional
Welcome to The Turnaround’s 52 Days of Prayer!

 

Introduction

Welcome to day 37 of our 52 Days of Prayer. In Nehemiah 4 we read how the children of God overcame and moved in God’s plans even as their enemies opposed the rebuilding.

Insight

When God gives us an assignment it doesn’t mean that everything will be easy. It doesn’t mean that everything will fall into place. It doesn’t mean that everyone will agree with you about completing the assignment. But, if we stay focused on what He has given us to do and seek His guidance with His strategies and tactics, we will prevail. We MUST keep a heart to do the work of The Lord. In this day and hour, the work is to restore the broken walls of our culture. Our hammer is The Word! Our sword is His Word. When we put feet and hands to His Word, it does not return void according to Isaiah 55:11, “So also will be the word that I speak; it does not return to me unfulfilled. My word performs my purpose and fulfills the mission I sent it out to accomplish.”

 

Turnaround Questions

Will you keep a heart to do the work of the Lord in a society that denounces Him? Will you keep a heart to do the work of the Lord in the midst of naysayers, scoffers and mockers? Will you keep your FOCUS on Jesus and be led by His Word and Holy Spirit to complete every assignment that He gives you? Will you pick up your hammer and your sword and get in this fight to Turnaround our Nation and SAVE THE CHILDREN

Prayer

Heavenly Father we come before you with praise upon our lips and hearts filled with thanks. We thank you for your Word and Holy Spirit that empowers us to carry out every assignment you give us to rebuild our walls. Father God as Nehemiah prayed in his day, we cry out to you. “Hear us, our God, for we are being mocked. May their scoffing fall back on their own heads, and may they themselves become captives in a foreign land (to their own devious ways)! Do not ignore their guilt. Do not blot out their sins, for they have provoked you to anger in front of the builders, (thrown insults in the face of the builders).” Help us your children, your family, your people, your bride, your Army, and your Ekklesia to embrace a collective determination. Help us cast out our agendas and to embrace your agenda of bringing Heaven to Earth in the place of our assignments. Help us to work together as the people of God to rebuild our foundation of faith, trust in The Lord, and fear (awe) of God. May we do all to the glory, honor and praise of your holy, matchless name. In Jesus name, So Be It!
