Build by divine favour

Text:Nehemiah2:5 (KJV)                                               

And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it

Friends, we must be careful on how we build up in life. Yes, we cannot construct or erect anything without the necessary ingredients. And, favour is a must in this world of challenges as it breaths ease to man’s struggle that brings about soft landing if we must build according to pattern. Nehemiah as a man acknowledged the need to seek and receive the favour from the king which is a major tool that brought about ease and direction in the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem even as he received clear vision from the Lord. Neh 2:8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.

Amazingly, Nehemiah needed the king to send him with his favour that He may build back the walls. So, it pleased the king to send him and also to set a time. Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.  Hence, the opposition notwithstanding, the backing of the king stood out for the accomplishment of this great task. Therefore, with deep burdens and prayers we can attract the favour of God in all our endeavours today too. I pray we shall not advance without His sent favour of accomplishment in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, help me not to labour by human effort rather may I walk with supernatural backing as you open onto me greater opportunities to build in life and destiny in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, the frustration can be as a result of lack of divine favour today.
