TEXT: NEHEMIAH
7:1-5
TOPIC: FIT AND APPOITABLE
The
word 'fit' connotes suitable, proper, one who is good in shape and physically
well.
The
word 'appointable' means that one is capable of being appointed. This shows
that before one is appointed, they must be suitable and have all it takes to be
appointed!
The
first verse of Nehemiah 7 shows that the appointment was done based on the need
for rebuilding the wall. It is unlike what we do today when appointments are
not made to serve the felt needs of citizens.
Verse
2 shows that the appointment was not based on family or tribal affiliations but
on integrity, merit and fear of God. This shows that charisma without character
is catastrophic.
Note
that in verse 3, there were men who were ready to adhere to every instruction.
It is these kinds of people that are needed by Nehemiah and the Church and
Nigeria today.
QUESTION: Are you an honest and faithful person of integrity
fit for any appointment?
PRAYER: O Lord, may I be found dependable, honest and
faithful for any service or appointment in Jesus' name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
