STRATEGY AND COLLABORATION

NEHEMIAH 2:17,18

Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me. They replied, “Let us start rebuilding.” So they began this good work.

Now we see Nehemiah begin the process of examining the broken walls and burnt gates of Jerusalem as a preparatory plan to sell the vision of reconstruction to the various leadership stakeholders in Jerusalem.  This is an important principle being played out. Regardless of how zealous and passionate we desire to carry out an assignment, if we cannot convince others to see the need to corporate and support what we've been assigned by heaven, the mandate might be delayed.

Strategy plays a significant part in the fulfillment of our prophetic mandate. It’s not enough to have the calling or vision to carry out a divine assignment, we also need to be highly strategic in the expression and fulfillment of our calling. The wisdom Nehemiah displayed points a critical concept in managing how to step towards the field of our assignment. In this session of our training, we see how Nehemiah approached and examined the broken walls and burnt gates of Jerusalem.

We only begin to find and feel the reality of God's presence, purpose and intent for our lives when we’ve developed what I call the consistency of seeking.  We cannot find or know the reality of the Father, we an attitude that is not willing to go all the way.

Until the things of heaven fully captivate our attention, desire, and passion, I am afraid, we will not have all of God’s reality in our life’s experience. Anyone who wishes to engage in the things of the Father should be rightfully informed that he does not accept partial commitment; he will not reveal himself to anyone who is not ready to pay the price of seeking him diligently with all their heart.

Spiritual things, particularly, the ones that deal with getting to know and understand the ways of the Lord require a certain position, attitude, or configuration of the heart. The father does not want to be an afterthought in our lives. Christ does not desire to have half part of you while the rest of your passion is given to some other thing.

PSALM 27: 3-4

Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust. One thing I have asked of the LORD, this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days. 12 Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me; I told no one what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem; nor was there any animal with me, except the one on which I rode. 13 And I went out by night through the Valley Gate to the Serpent Well and the Refuse Gate and viewed the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which were burned with fire.

THE BURDEN OF A SENT ONE

NEHEMIAH 2

7 I also said to him, “If it pleases the king, may I have letters to the governors of Trans-Euphrates, so that they will provide me safe-conduct until I arrive in Judah? 8 And may I have a letter to Asaph, keeper of the royal park, so he will give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel by the temple and for the city wall and for the residence I will occupy?” And because the gracious hand of my God was on me, the king granted my requests. 9 So I went to the governors of Trans-Euphrates and gave them the king’s letters. The king had also sent army officers and cavalry with me.

NEHEMIAH CHAPTER 1:1-4

VISION IS NOT YOUR ENTITLEMENT, BUT A BYPRODUCT OF A BURDEN AND BURDEN IS BIRTH IN THE PLACE OF CONTINUAL STRATEGIC INTERCESSION. NEHEMIAH BRINGS TO OUR ATTENTION HOW VISION IS BIRTH IN THE FULFILLMENT OF GOD’S PROPHETIC INTENTION. MANY OF US ARE ATTRACTED TO CARRYING OUT THINGS THROUGH AMBITION BUT IS TAKES A VISIONARY SPIRIT TO FUNCTION WITHIN THE SCOPE OF WHAT HEAVEN HAS ASSIGNED US, AND OF COURSE, WITH THE CAPACITY TO FINISH. WITHIN A VISIONARY SPIRIT IS A VALUED CAPACITY TO FINISH STRONG.

[ACTS 26:19] …I WAS NOT DISOBEDIENT TO THE VISION FROM HEAVEN…

There’s a deep urgency in this twilight of a new season to seek the life and nature of the Holy Spirit so we may be well-positioned to hear and know what the Father requires of us. It will be an understatement; say we need the functional life of the Spirit to be more evident in our engagements. Many of the challenges before us cannot be resolved outside what the Holy Spirit has revealed.

The revelation of the Holy Spirit opens the door to knowing the ascended life of Christ and walking the obedience to pleasing the Father. This message will inspire and motivate you to lay aside every other distraction and embrace the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your daily life.

THE BURDEN OF HEAVEN'S VISIONARY SPIRIT

1 The words of Nehemiah son of Hakaliah:

In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, 2 Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.

3 They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.”

4 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.
