READ: Nehemiah 4:1-9
1 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.
2 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?
3 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.
4 Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:
5 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
7 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
8 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
9 Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
MESSAGE
I want you to see to day’s topic as a prophetic word from God coming to you with power. You may be wondering what shall not stand. It is the counsel of the wicked against your life. This prophetic word is only effective to those that know the true God.
Beloved, if you want to put an end to evil conspiracies against you, you must learn to pray. From the Bible reading today, when Nehemiah learned about the conspiracy of those that were against him: Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, he called for prayer. When you show God that you are not taking your situation with levity by praying, He will fight for you and will not allow the counsel of the wicked against your destiny to prosper. However, while you wait for God to intervene, don’t stop praying and watching. God wants you to be vigilant so His effort over you will not be futile.
KEY POINT
Watch and pray if you do not want the counsel of the wicked to stand.
HYMN 14 – Standing On The Promises Of God
Standing on the promises of Christ our King,
Thro’ eternal ages let His praises ring:
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Chorus
Standing, Standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Saviour
Standing, Standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises that can-not fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By the living word of Go I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
