I haven't been writing in my blog for a long time... but I visited Evangel family church today and heard a msg by pastor Marion... Was really bless by it... So thought I share it with you... :)
The sermon is on The book of Nehemiah...
His love and commitment to God despite of all obstacles to fulfill his call from God...
7 keys to his success...
1) Our focus on God's call will keep us from compromise, from discouragement
The success of satan's attack always start from compromise of a Christian life
2) To be strong and courageous is not enough, we need strategy
3) Sacrifices and determination is necessary, to see successful results
We need to work while men sleep
4) trouble from the external is unavoidable, it is the internal that we must look after
Eg. Faithless pple with negative remarks
Before u build upwards, u need to firm ur foundation downwards. Prayer is the answer when we get tired.
5) our complete trust in God is displayed by our prayerful life.
To know successful a man is, is to see how they respond to crisis
6) history has proven God never failed to honor those who have the fear of God
7) admitting our problem is one thing, we need to rise up to do something.
Don't just sit and criticize, rise up and re-build... Be like Nehemiah, be bold enough to rise up and survey the ruins. Rise up and do something about it. Is our life is ruin? Rise up and do something about it.
Prov 28:13
