Who Does God Use? (I)

So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with their hearts. Nehemiah. 4:6

Bible Reading: Nehemiah 4

The life of Nehemiah and his team teaches us the ingredients essential for God’s purpose to be fulfilled in a man’s life. They prepared and positioned themselves for God’s use and obviously, God used them for His glory. They presented themselves holy unto the Lord, no wonder they prayed and God answered. Anyone who hopes in God must embrace righteousness and shun all forms of filthiness because God’s standard remains unchanged. (2 Tim. 2:19)

Also, these workers were ardent God–seekers and believers in unity (V. 6); the power of unity was in action (Psalm 133). They worked for the same goal and achieved it. If we want to successfully complete the mission God has set before us, we have to continually pursue unity in God’s kingdom. Unity of spirit, purpose, of the church and ultimately, unity with the King of kings on the last day. With unity in action, no amount of attack can withstand us because we stand together just like Nehemiah and his brethren (Ephesians 4:1-6).

Self-Reflection: How can you continually be a unity seeker in the body of Christ?

Daily Confession: Lord help Your church to seek oneness in You; that love may reign among us and we can stand with and for You alone. Unite Your church oh Lord, amen.

Intercessory prayer: Pray that grace to continually pant after God will be released upon this generation.

Hymn: Take my life and let it be

Consecrated Lord to Thee

Take my moments and my days

Let them flow in ceaseless praise
