The Power of Faith and Prayer: Nehemiah’s Example in Overcoming Challenges

In this post, I will be discussing about the power of faith and prayer using Nehemiah as our case study

Nehemiah was the man who led the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem.

This task seems impossible, but what seems impossible was made possible by one man named Nehemiah.

I believe he dared to rebuild the walls because God gave him the vision.

When God gives you a vision, you will have the confidence and peace that it will be done.

What I want us to learn from the story of Nehemiah is holding on to God’s word.

When God gives His word, it is as good as done. God does not lie instead whatever God says comes into existence even though it wasn’t related before.

Whenever the word of God does not come to pass in your life, it is because you didn’t do your part.

The things you need to do includes, believing the word, praying about the word and taking action.

Every successful leader needs to pray regularly because they will be faced with challenges and the only way to overcome those challenges is to pray to God.

Steps Nehemiah used in overcoming challenges.

Reaping the Rewards: Understanding the Cycle of Seedtime and Harvest

New King James Version Genesis 8:22 “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.”

I will be telling you a short story before I get started with this post.

“Once upon a time, there was a farmer who lived in a small village. He was known for his hard work and determination, but despite his best efforts, his crops never seemed to yield very much. Frustrated and discouraged, the farmer decided to seek the advice of an old and wise farmer who lived in a neighbouring village.

The old farmer listened patiently as the young farmer shared his troubles, and then he said, “My son, you have been sowing the same seeds year after year, but you are not reaping the rewards you desire. The key to a bountiful harvest is to sow a variety of different crops so that if one fails, the others can help sustain you.”

God said it and it came to pass. We have a powerful God that has control over all things.

This is not a feature for everyone but only for those that are children of God.

Righteousness And Self-Righteousness Meaning (Biblical Definition)

Sometimes we get confused with the terms righteousness and self-righteousness. So, what do righteousness and self-righteousness mean?

What is Righteousness?

Righteousness means doing the right things at the right time based on the standard of God.

The truth is that it is not easy to do the right things at the right time.

It is those that have gotten to a state of perfection that can continually do the right things at the right time.

That is why as Christian, we can only live righteous with the help of God through the Holy Spirit.

What Is Your Soul Purpose For Living? To Get Rich Or Add Value To Others

Your purpose for living determines the decisions you make in life. That is one of the general principles of life. Like the bible says that a good name is better than riches, for you to build a good name is based on the decisions you make daily, and to get riches also depends on the decisions you make daily.

To have a good name means having a good reputation that precedes you, it’s all about being known for something good. For instance, you may be an excellent doctor, a renowned life coach, a successful engineer, a successful trainer, or the CEO of a big organization. That which you do to affect the lives of others is the good name you are known for.

What most people don’t know is that a good name comes with riches too. So why sell your soul just to get rich when you can actually build a good name and the riches will also follow.

Living to make money is good but there is a greater purpose than making money.
