Sanballat and Tobiah

Nehemiah 4:1-3 "But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews. And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned? Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall. Sanballat and Tobiah were not happy about the progress that the Israelite were making. They made fun of the Israelites. It is not everyone who will be happy with your life. Its not everyone who will be happy to see you making progress, just like Tobiah and Sanballat. They will despised whatever you are doing and seek to discourage you. This week I encourage you to be careful of Sanballats and Tobiahs in your life. Do not listen to what t

Let Love Lead

1 Corinthians 13:13 "And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." Love is a very powerful force. With love nothing is impossible and no battle will be lost.It is important to have love in your life. Face every situation with love.

This week I encourage you to let True Love Lead. True Love is God. When you allow love to lead you will always have victory, if you have false love lead, you will be tired an

Behold a New Thing

The Lord continually wants to show us new things in our lives. He is not a static God. He wants our lives to improve. He wants us to mature and if we are not careful we miss Him and become stagnant. What is the new thing that God wants to do in your life? Talk to him and find out directly from Him. Do not look at the new things that are happening around you and just join because remember the majority is not always right. If you feel stagnant, make a change, don’t allow yourself to be boxed up, be brave and make that change. After making that change be careful not to move backwards ask God to give you the strength to move forward. The way you used to do things before will definitely try to pull you back. If you think you made a mistake and did not hear God then by all means admit you were wrong and seek God for your next step. Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the d
