Nehemiah was one of the Israelites taken as a slave from Judah to Babylon.

He was also from a priestly heritage. Asides from being from a priestly heritage, he kept himself blameless.

Most Israelites that were taken to Babylon forgot about God and worshipped other gods I’m Babylon but Nehemiah didn’t forget the true God and he continued to worship Him.

When God saw his heart, God gave him the grace to lead the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem which were broken.

It wasn’t an easy task because there was a lot of opposition from those who occupied the land of Judah already and also those outside the land of Judah.

In the face of these oppositions, Nehemiah was able to focus on his goals and maintain his integrity.

This is how a true leader should be, being focused until he achieves his goals.

In this post, I will be showing you some qualities that make Nehemiah a good leader that every other leader should emulate.

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.”

Genesis 1:3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

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

We have a God that speaks and it comes to pass.

But do you know that as a child of God, when you speak, it comes to pass?

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

New King James Version James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Have you ever thought about the statement “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much”? If you think about it, you will know that it has deep meaning.

I will be sharing with you my thoughts about the above Bible verse.

I will start from the story of Elijah praying for rain not to fall and rain did not fall for three years.

He also prayed for rain to start falling and rain started falling again.

The Bible says that our righteousness is like filthy rags and I know that sounds scary. But I have good news for you because the righteousness discussed in this verse is referring to self-righteousness and not true righteousness.

Self-righteousness is living right based on your standard.

When something is compared to a rag, that thing is bad and shameful.
