This message, Guardians of the Garden, reminds us that being planted in the house of the Lord isn’t just about being present—it’s about being protected, positioned, and purposed.
In Psalm 92, we’re told that those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish. But like Nehemiah and the builders of Jerusalem’s wall, there are times when flourishing requires fighting—guarding what God has called us to build.
Nehemiah’s story shows us how the people prayed, posted guards, and worked with a weapon in one hand and a tool in the other. Every believer has a role to play in protecting the garden—our homes, our families, our ministries, and our hearts—from anything that threatens God’s purpose.
Through this teaching, we’re reminded:
🌿 Unity is vital—every part of the body matters (1 Corinthians 12:18–21).
🌿 We must stay discerning, guarding against deception (Matthew 7:15–20).
🌿 We must hold onto truth, even when others drift from it (2 Timothy 4:3–5).
🌿 And above all, we find peace and strength when we pray and let God guard our hearts (Philippians 4:6–7).
It’s time to rise up, build, and protect what God has planted.
