Nehemiah 10

We need to keep on, be there to Encourage one another.

Where am I to build a wall?
-For Some it is personally
-Internationally
-in their city 
-church
-etc....

Behind the wall are people who had been renewed, but had found devastation due to sin. 

"But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in."

Matthew 23:13

"6For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

7The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

8But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations"

Deuteronomy 7:6-9

The Children of Israel had God's eye! 

this was not due to ;

• perfection
• money
• looks
• home
• or anything else

He just LOVED THEM!!!!

Covenant: If you do what I say, I will give my greatest blessing, if not I will cut you off. 

But even then with the warning they still did not follow God. 

The people rebelled and then they experienced the devastation of their sin. 

But then they put their eyes back on the Lord. 

"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars. 

2 Chronicles 16:9"

They confessed and then Praised him.

Only then did they understand!

CLEARED HEARTS!!!! 

The covenant was something they knew about-As they started to see they saw in a different light. 

Then they became people of ACTION! 

They wanted to renew the covenant

-Sacrifice of blood was not needed but something personally.

• Money
• Family
• Time

These things were important to them. 

"Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. "

Luke 22:20

As believers we are under a new covenant, but intends for us to see these things. 

FAMILIES

• tell about God moments. So his greatness is passed from generation to generation.
• We need people who SAY TI! 
• Marry who God wants. Do not be un equally yoked.
• "Marry a Prince not a Project" This a believer that believes but it also needs to be someone who is where you are in your relationship with the Lord so you are not the one dragging them. If you are not equally yoked do not give up take it to the Lord he can redeem anything!

God is VICTORIOUS no matter what the situation. 

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? "

2 Corinthians 6:14

Time

• Observe the Sabbath day and keep it holy. 
• It's okay to take a break! God does not intend for you to burn out.
• We don't have to run around busy all the time
• Ask for help
• It will get done! 
• It does not matter the day you do this just a day! 

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Psalms 46:10

How are we going to spend our time? 

MONEY

main point is it is off:

-Food

-time

and Money 10% our tithe but it can be more

We have been given so much! 

In Malachi God tells us this is one area we can test him in. 

It will dwindle if we don't.

Change me God in this. Show me. 

The secret things of God we don't have to worry about, but the things he has shown us we do. 

He intends to BLESS US!
