[Mr. C D Mathew]
People face a lot of pressures.
Nehemiah is one of the great leaders mentioned in the bible.
A leader is one who is compassionate – Nehemiah took care of all the complaints that came from widows and poor people about being ill-treated by the Jewish officials.
His absence from Jerusalem caused his people to move away from God. When Nehemiah came back and found out the reason for the problem.
Can you stand the test of time? Do you have the courage to say NO when you are pressurised to compromise? It is not enough you do the right thing. But you need to sustain it.
What gives you the courage to stand for the truth? How do you stand the pressure from within and outside? Go through the character of Nehemiah.
You will be a success with your ideal, but are you ready to stand the test of time?
You may not be liked by all for your standing, but are you ready to sustain?
Nehemiah’s 5 problems and approaches
Jesus came down to serve us. Only if you make yourself low, you can serve others. The best way to influence others is by serving them, instead of bossing people around. You should be ready to sacrifice everything to the commitment.
