Commit to Memory: “So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.” (Nehemiah 4:6 KJV).
Friends, God’s desire for you today, is to rise up and build His kingdom. In the same similitude that the Lord stirred up the hearts of the Jews through Nehemiah to work together to build the walls of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 2:11-20), I pray that God will speak to you through His Word to put your hands and heart to His work diligently as He stirs up your heart today. For this reason, God is in search of labourers who have a prayer burden to be intercessors to stand in the gap for the church in times like these. And so if God has found you- He is saying son, daughter- come, arise, join forces with the heavenly Allies at your attention and bring down the kingdom of darkness and let the church influence the world, rule, reign and dominate.
To arise and build is to be willing to go through pains to be able to relieve others from their pains. How? You must be willing to go through the pains that fastings bring. Pains to have gains for Jesus. To be used of and by God to build tirelessly for His Kingdom, you must surrender all to Jesus today; for when you return to God- you become so near and dear to God such that you are built by His grace for relevance and influence. When this happens, you begin to live the Zoe life and build the lives of everyone and thing around you and you may come across. You suddenly begin to do the Kingdom business and work with tireless passion. This work includes evangelism, discipleship and missions. Every precious soul that is saved from sin by trusting in Jesus Christ needs to be moulded and shaped through the process of spiritual growth to take their place as ‘lively stones’ in God’s building. For this cause the Lord is beckoning on you today to ARISE AND BUILD for Him.
You must be willing to go through the night time prayers, night time sessions of worship, night retreats and night seasons of intercession. You must go through it if you must have your place and mark in God’s agenda in times like these. May the Lord enable us all to fulfil this mandate in Jesus name.
Reflection: Until your elastic limit of pain is stretched through fastings- you may not be enabled and empowered to relieve others of their pains.
Prayer Lines: Father, set me on fire that I may burn and build for your Kingdom without limits.
