"A
MIND TO WORK"
by
Pastor Tony Sutton |
|
THE
UNITY
|
Neh 4:6 So built we the wall; and
all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the
people had a mind to work.
- A)
WHEN WE COME ONE MIND AND ONE ACCORD, WE WILL FIND THAT THINGS
COME TOGETHER MUCH BETTER.
|
|
THE
ADVERSARY |
Neh
4:8 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight
against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
- A)
ANYTIME WE PRESS AHEAD, FOR GOD, THE ADVERSARY WILL WAGE A WAR
AGAINST US. HE WILL SET A PLAN OF ATTACK, AND MOVE IN FOR THE
KILL.
|
|
THE
WATCHMAN
|
Neh
4:13 Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on
the higher places, I even set the people after their families with
their swords, their spears, and their bows.
- A)
A WATCHMAN, SHEPARD, DEACON, S.S. TEACHER, ELDER, AND PASTOR,
WILL STAY KEEN AND AWARE OF HIS SURROUNDINGS AND WILL ALERT
THE FLOCK OF ANY DANGERS. HE WILL EQUIP THOSE HE WATCHES OVER
WITH THE WORD THAT WILL PROTECT, AND PREPARE THEM. YOU KNOW
"FEED MY SHEEP". HE WILL KEEP THEM APPRISED TO THE
SITUATION. HE WILL DO HIS BEST TO PROTECT THEM, HOWEVER HE
KNOWS THAT IF THE FLOCK IS PREPARED THEY TOO CAN FIGHT, MAKING
THE BATTLE MORE MANAGEABLE, AND RECRUITING NEW SOLDIERS AS WE
GO.
|
|
THE
ENCOURAGER
|
Neh
4:14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to
the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of
them: remember the LORD, which is great and terrible, and fight
for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and
your houses.
- A)
THESE LEADERS WILL ENCOURAGE, LIFT UP, AND ESTEEM THEIR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST. REASSURING THEM THAT THEY ARE
FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT! THEY WILL ASSURE THEM THAT IT IS WELL
WORTH THEIR EFFORT!

A
MIND TO WORK.
|
|
DO YOU HAVE A MIND TO WORK? MANY HAVE A MIND TO WORK, UNFORTUNATELY
THE MIND TO WORK THAT MANY POSSESS, IS GEARED MORE TOWARD WORLDLY
THINGS THAN GODLY THINGS. WE NEED "A MIND TO WORK" FOR
GOD!!! WHEN WE COME IN UNITY WITH "A MIND TO WORK" WE
WILL SEE THE GREAT THINGS THAT GOD CAN DO, HAPPEN IN OUR LIVES,
HIS HAND PERFORM BEFORE US, TO BLESS OUR EFFORTS.

truth. |
