Where is my reward?
May 24, 2013 – Nehemiah 5
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully
Feast in Nehemiah 5; The Jews were mortgaging their land and houses
to get grain because of the famine. Nehemiah was angry about how the people
were putting their own people under bondage for profit. Nehemiah sets the example by showing mercy
and forgiving any debts owed to himself; “18 Now
what was prepared at my expense for each day was one ox and six choice sheep
and birds, and every ten days all kinds of wine in abundance. Yet for all
this I did not demand the food allowance of the governor, because the service
was too heavy on this people. 19 Remember for my good, O my God, all that I
have done for this people.”
Nehemiah 5:18-19 English Standard
Version (ESV). How are we supposed to
treat those who are in debt to us? No
matter what they owe us we must not charge interest. ““You shall not charge interest on loans to
your brother, interest on money, interest on food, interest on anything that
is lent for interest.” Deuteronomy 23:19 ESV. There
is no ambiguity there, and what did we read today in Nehemiah; “10 Moreover, I and my brothers
and my servants are lending them money and grain. Let us abandon this
exacting of interest.” Nehemiah 5:10 ESV. God never changes He is the same today,
yesterday and forever. If you have an opportunity
to help another person don’t charge them interest and God will reward you. If you charge interest your reward and condemnation
is in the interest you received.

How should we proceed?

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.

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.
