Pathway to Peace: Finding Rest in God's Word

TEXT: Nehemiah 5:1-13

 

TOPIC: THE NEED FOR A NEHEMIAH

 

The dilemma, less privileged Israelites faced in the days of Nehemiah is repeating itself today. While work on building the walls was coming to an end, the less privileged were languishing in hunger.

The poor mortgaged their fields, vineyards and homes. Some had to borrow money to pay tax to the king, not to talk about fields and vineyards’ taxes.

Above all, some subjected their sons and daughters to slavery. We are experiencing similar problems in Nigeria today. Thus, we need our own Nehemiah to erase this evil (vs. 10, 12-13).

 

QUESTION: Why is the need for a Nehemiah a must today?

 

PRAYER: Father, please raise Nehemiahs who will not only build our spiritual walls but also advocate on behalf of the poor. Amen. 

Remain Blessed
