We solely have 3 days left within the ebook of Nehemiah! We are going to end our research subsequent week. So let's have a look again and evaluation.
Listed here are 4 classes we study from the books of Ezra and Nehemiah
1.) God has a plan
God has a plan and when God has a plan – He’s unstoppable!
After 70 years of the Israelites being in exile, God is transferring! God is at work in stirring the center of King Cyrus to rebuild the home of the Lord in Jerusalem. And immediately in verse 1 of Ezra it says that that is the achievement of the prophecy spoken by Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 29:10-11 says:
“That is what the Lord says: “When Babylon is seventy years outdated, I’ll come to you and fulfill my good promise to convey you again to this place.
As a result of I do know the plans I’ve for you,” says the Lord “Plans to prosper you and never hurt you, plans to offer you hope and a future.”
The ebook of Ezra reveals us how God is in management and the way devoted He’s to His guarantees. Regardless of the challenges the Israelites face, together with exile and the destruction of Jerusalem, God stays devoted to His covenant with His individuals.
(see video under for extra particulars)
2.) Ezra is an admirable man.
We don't hear about Ezra fairly often, however he’s an incredible individual! Have a look at what Ezra 7:10 says about him:
As a result of Ezra had set his coronary heart to check the legislation of the Lord and to do it and to show its statutes and guidelines in Israel.
Ezra had 3 particular character traits.
- He aspired to check legislation.
- He determined to do it.
- He taught the legal guidelines and laws of Israel.
Can these three issues be mentioned about you?
- You research the phrase of God.
- You do the phrase of God.
- You train the phrase of God.
Might we be like Ezra and apply God's phrase in our lives!

3.) Nehemjas prays and listens
Within the Guide of Nehemiah, we watch the youngsters of Israel start the large work of rebuilding the partitions of Jerusalem in simply 52 days. With Nehemiah's knowledgeable steerage, they have been capable of full this God-given activity regardless of sturdy opposition from their enemies, bodily fatigue, discouragement, and even makes an attempt at outright sabotage by means of deception and manipulation.
What did Nehemiah do when confronted with opposition?
- He was praying.
- He listened.
- He stayed.
With all that Nehemiah confronted, most of us would stroll away. We'd say issues like… it's clearly not God's will!
However have a look at what Nehemiah mentioned in Nehemiah 4:14:
Don't be afraid of them. Keep in mind the Lord, who’s nice and horrible, and struggle in your households, your little kids, your wives and your houses.”
We should perceive that every one of us who obey the Lord will face battles. And once we do, could we be like Nehemiah and never give the enemy an inch!
(extra about how we will struggle the enemy, see the video under)
4.) Nehemiah's identify means “Yahweh comforts”
God used Nehemiah to convey consolation to the youngsters of Israel as they learn the Regulation for the primary time within the newly restored Temple.
Jerusalem went from a metropolis in ruins to rebuilding the temple beneath Ezra and repairing the partitions beneath Nehemiah. Then the remnant returned and renewed their covenant with the Lord.
On the day they devoted the wall, all of the leaders gathered with the individuals and so they rejoiced and sang and worshiped God so loudly that the sound of their worship and pleasure may very well be heard distant!
They usually supplied nice sacrifices that day and rejoiced, for God made them rejoice with nice pleasure; ladies and youngsters additionally rejoiced. And the enjoyment of Jerusalem was heard distant.
Nehemiah 12:43
Remaining conclusion:
It’s superb how one man may have a imaginative and prescient, put together a plan, rally individuals to hold out the plan and persevere within the face of opposition.
Nehemiah persistently turned to God in prayer for steerage, power, and safety, and so…it’s becoming that the final phrases of the ebook are this prayer of Nehemiah's
Keep in mind me, my God, for good.
Nehemiah 13:31
Might we comply with within the footsteps of Ezra and Nehemiah as we faithfully comply with the need of God in our lives.
