Hello Everyone,

Nehemiah was by far one of the best leaders in all of history. Nehemiah had walls to build, and we have a church to build, a family to build, a business, a marriage, etc.

Not only these things we all of have a life to build. We are parents building little lives. And we are all either leading people to heaven or leading them to hell. They are in our workplace, at our school, and in our circles of life. These leadership principles apply to all of us!

Nehemiah was a Jewish man living hundreds of miles away from his home of Jerusalem in captivity in Persia. He heard about the walls of Jerusalem lying in waste. He was devastated.

He prays and weeps and plans, and now sees a miracle happen as the king actually breaks his own law and gives him permission to go home and start rebuilding. The king gives him protection in the form of an armed guard with him.

And then he gives him all the provisions he will need. After 120 long days of praying and planning, Nehemiah gets everything he needs from the king in one 10 minute conversation!

When God opens a door no man can shut it, and when God closes the door no man can kick it down! Nehemiah goes from being the cupbearer to being the contractor, and God's anointed leader of His people.

And God has Greater Things Still To Come In Your Life!
