How should we proceed?
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully
Feast in Nehemiah 4; As the Israelites are building up of the walls
of Jerusalem, they face the opposition of those who hate God. The designs of God’s
enemies are to foil the good works and love of God’s people. Nehemiah's takes precautions to guard against
the enemies of God and His people. “21 So we labored at the work, and half of them
held the spears from the break of dawn until the stars came out. 22 I also
said to the people at that time, “Let every man and his servant pass the
night within Jerusalem, that they may be a guard for us by night and may
labor by day.” 23 So neither I nor my brothers nor my servants nor the men of
the guard who followed me, none of us took off our clothes; each kept his
weapon at his right hand.”
Nehemiah 4:21-23 English Standard
Version (ESV). Worldly people are opposed
to the love and message of Christ. So Jesus
cautions the Saints to be on guard against the evils in this world. “16 “I am sending you out like
sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as
doves.” Matthew 10:16 ESV. Jesus cautions us, to shrewdly engage the
world ("as shrewd as serpents") and in Jesus’ righteousness
("as innocent as doves"). This
is how we are to proceed; shrewdly and in innocence as we carry the love of Jesus
to a lost world.

When do we serve Jesus?
May 22, 2013 – Nehemiah 3
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully
Feast in Nehemiah 3; Every Israelite lent a hand toward the building
up of the walls of Jerusalem. The work was equally divided, so that every one
knew what do, and they did it, with a will to do their best work without conflict,
or strife. The wall was rebuilt for the public good in God’s name. “1 Then
Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brothers the priests, and they
built the Sheep Gate. They consecrated it and set its doors. They consecrated
it as far as the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Tower of Hananel.… 32
And between the upper chamber of the corner and the Sheep Gate the goldsmiths
and the merchants repaired.”
Nehemiah 3:1…32 English Standard Version (ESV). When we do any ministry or function in the
Church, at home or at work we are called upon to do our best. As a member of the community and in the
body of Christ each of us must strive to function always doing our best for
Jesus; “2 Through him we
have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we
rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our
sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance
produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us
to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy
Spirit who has been given to us.” Romans 5:2-5 ESV. No matter what we are doing we are working
for Jesus and not to please men.

Why The Feast?
May 21, 2013 – Nehemiah 1 & 2
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully
Feast in Nehemiah 1 & 2 . In
the Feast today we begin in the book of Nehemiah chapters one and two. By reading a chapter (sometimes two)
everyday, we read every Word in God’s Word in about 3 years. Jesus supports this work so we never ask
for nor accept donations. We do accept
prayers and prayerful correction.
Thank you for joining us in the Feast.
“The Old Testament history closes
with the book of Nehemiah, wherein is recorded the workings of his heart, in
the management of public affairs; with many devout reflections.
- Nehemiah was the Persian king's cup-bearer. When
God has work to do, he will never want instruments to do it with. Nehemiah
lived at ease, and in honour, but does not forget that he is an Israelite,
and that his brethren are in distress. He was ready to do them all the good
offices he could; and that he might know how best to do them a kindness, he
makes inquiries about them. We should inquire especially concerning the state
of the church and religion. Every Jerusalem on this side the heavenly one
will have some defect, which will require the help and services of its
friends. Nehemiah's first application was to God, that he might have the
fuller confidence in his application to the king. Our best pleas in prayer
are taken from the promise of God, the word on which he has caused us to
hope. Other means must be used, but the effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man avails most. Communion with God will best prepare us for our
dealings with men. When we have intrusted our concerns to God, the mind is
set at liberty; it feels satisfaction and composure, and difficulties vanish.
We know that if the affair be hurtful, he can easily hinder it; and if it be
good for us, he can as easily forward it.” An overview
of Nehemiah in Matthew Henry’s Concise. Why do we read every word in God’s
Word? God’s Word is life. “But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”” Matthew
4:4 ESV. God’s Word feeds our faith. “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”
Romans 10:17 ESV. Feast to be A Worker
Approved by God; “14
Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about
words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to
present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be
ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 16 But avoid irreverent babble,
for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,” 2 Timothy
2:14-16 ESV. These are but a few
reasons for our Feast.

what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has
light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14 ESV.
