INTRODUCTION:
In the last part of this series, we learnt that mockery and ridicule are the weapons of discouragement in the hands of the enemy and that prayers and determination of the believer are the antidotes. Today as we continue our study in the book of Nehemiah; may the Lord bless us richly in Jesus name.
1. FEAR MAKES THE STRENGTH TO DECAY
The work of God requires both Physical, Soulical, and Spiritual strength. One of the strategies of Satan is to introduce fear into the lives of the believers so as to distabilise and make them lose their strength. But the Lord is always there to strengthen us. Neh. 4:10-12, 13-14, Prov. 29:25, Heb. 2:15, Rom. 8:15- 16, Heb. 13:6, II Tim. 1 :7, Prov. 3:7-8, 10:27, Prov. 14:26, Eccl. 8:12, Isaiah 40:31, Eccl. 12:13.
2. THE ENEMY'S COUNSEL SHALL COME TO NOUGHT
No matter what the enemy tries against us, the promise of God for us is that their counsel shall come to nought. Neh. 4:15, Isa. 8:9-10, Ps. 1:1, Acts 5:38-39, Acts 20:27, Ps.33:10-11.
