ONLY THE COUNSEL OF THE LORD SHALL STAND

Hi folkss, how's the day going? I was going through the book of Nehemiah this morning and came across the verse where Sanballat was mocking the Jews because they were building the wall, beloved he was seriously making jest of them. Look at what he said in Nehemiah 4 vs 2.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?
Friends Sanballat never believed they could complete the wall, see what he wrote in Verse 3 of that same chapter. (3)Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall. Hahahahahaha! Friends I laughed when I saw this, this is just illustrating what we are going through in our everyday life. We have a purpose and set out to achieve it, but along the line, we let the enemies distract us.

Friends Nehemiah set out to rebuild the wall, he took permission from the king to do this and set out, along the line he met many obstacles but was able to overcome them because he partnered with the Holy Spirit, or do u think he didn't hear those words spoken by Sanballat? My friends only those words were enough to discourage him if he wasn't connected to the source of life. Looking at it from the human eyes, such a feat seemed impossible but with God it was possible.

 In our individual lives, we face Sanballat every day. Beloved Sanballat here means Enemies, they are those who are determined that u will not succeed in your endeavour and u know what, I have good news for you this morning, the good news is that no Sanballat has the power to stop you once you are connected to the source. Connecting to the source here means partnering wt the Holy Spirit. Beloved you will build your wall. Whatever anybody has said concerning u does not matter, because it is only the counsel of the lord that shall stand. As we start the New Year, I want to have this in mind isaiah7 vs 7: Thus said the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. I speak to your lives brethren that only the counsel of the lord over your life and family shall stand this year.

I leave you with these words in Eph 6:10-12 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the lord, and in the power of his might Put on the whole amour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. I want you to ponder on this few point I have raised here.2014 will be a year of manifestation of God promises for our lives in Jesus name. Pleas don't forget to tell somebody about Christ today, and as you do this, joy everlasting shall be yours in Jesus name. God bless us all.

Have a nice day ahead By Aderonke.
