No Failure in God
Failure Is Impossible.
Nehemiah 6:16
Nehemiah chapter 6, is all about threats and deception coming from the enemies of God.
42,360 Jews came back to Jerusalem to make a difference.
They didn’t come back to be defeated!
You see, these enemies did their best to get Nehemiah off track.
If not murdered in cold blood.
One verse for this mornings text—Nehemiah 6:16
When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God.
What did God’s enemies hear?
“They heard how God gave Nehemiah discernment and wisdom, to recognize his enemies.’
‘Also in part, because of his surety in the Lord, Nehemiah received a strong spiritual back-bone.”
Whose Work are You Engaged In?
To Nehemiah, failure wasn’t an option; Nehemiah knew that his work was his calling.
He was called by God.
You’re called to be a God pleaser.
He was called to rebuild, and to restore.
Nehemiah 2:17
Let is rise up and build....!
Nehemiah’s work existed because of someone’s prayer—you better believe someone had been interceding for Jerusalem.
God’s Work is Greater than anything Else
Listen to Nehemiah 6:1-4NIV
Don’t miss this, “Four times Nehemiah said the same answer.”
Again, Nehemiah 6:2-3
“I’m doing a great work; I can’t come down.
Why should the work come to a standstill just so I can come down to see you?”
When God gives us a word, we should refuse everything else.
We need to remember, That everything is inferior to God’s word—and God’s call.
2 Corinthians 2:11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
It’s time to tell the devil and his schemes, “I’m carrying on a great project!”
Opposition came to Nehemiah in the form of deception and threats.
The devil operates in many forms, some of his schemes operate with threats and deception.
Threats, because he’s the accuser of the brethren.
Saten threatens you before God.
Deception, because that’s what his name means— satan—deceiver.
The enemy doesn’t give up easily.
Listen to
God Will Strengthen You to Carry Out His Work
God gave Nehemiah the strength to persevere in the face of opposition.
Verse 9 say’s, “So I continued the work with even greater determination.”
Is there a task you’re tempted to give up?
Ask God to give you patience and perseverance.
Listen to the Apostle Paul’s conclusion of what faith produces in you.
Romans 5:1-5
Again, Romans 5:1, Expresses we have been made right in God’s sight by faith.
Faith pleases God, faith in God is—everything.
According to Hebrews 11:1…
Keep the Faith....Let God Keep Score
In Nehemiah 6:17-19 the end of this chapter, The threats continued, the lies, and the deception didn’t let up.
What did Nehemiah do?
He just kept his faith and his confession.
