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 they say, do not give them your attention, do not entertain them because they will destroy you. All you need to do is focus on what you are doing and pray to God for leadership. Keep your eyes on the goal no matter what happens.

Angry Unhappy Christians

Unfortunately its true, we do have angry and unhappy Christians. I always wonder why its like that. God promises us joy, peace and happiness and yet we still have a lot of angry unhappy Christians. I believe it’s time we re-evaluate our Christianity. Christianity is not supposed to be a bondage and a burden. It’s supposed to give us life in abundance. , We have a people who are Christians out of duty and not out of a free will and love for God. People are just afraid of going to hell and they are teaching other people fear and bondage instead of love and freedom. Bondage brings hatred, anger and unhappiness. It saddens me to see my brethren suffering and not enjoying Christianity. This week I encourage you to lighten up and stop judging everyone that comes your way. This week I encourage you to let go and let God be . Lets re-evaluate our Christianity, why are we Christians?

He Protects

Ladies and gentleman, it is true. God does protect His own. If you desire protection from any force that may come against you, God is the answer. He is the one who constantly protects us. If we move ahead of God and never allow Him to surround us, we will definitely miss out on his protection. If you are a child of God I encourage you not to look for protection anywhere else but look for protection from our Father. We are safe under the shadow of His wings. Rest and be at peace knowing that God has got your back.

Don’t be left behind

There is a new move of the Spirit world wide. Be careful not to be left behind. This generation is a generation of GRACE. The time for doing things for the Lord like “reaching the masses” is gone. It is time we reach the masses after receiving a word from the Lord. A time for proving ourselves to the Lord is past. In this generation we only do what the Lord wants us to do. It is not a generation where we force ourselves by our own strength to appear righteous before the Lord. This generation is ground breaking. A time for running after money is gone. This is a time of God’s grace. Be careful not to be left behind. A time for tying to be a legend is gone. A time to be respected and honored is gone. It is a time to receive whatever the Lord has in store for you in your path as you seek Him. The time for belonging to a certain denomination, organization or fellowship is gone. Please read this carefully because I don’t want anyone to be left behind. A time for trying to be like one of
