Nehemiah 6
FAITHFUL UNTO COMPLETION
One of the great qualities of God is His faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
One of the great qualities of Jesus' disciples is faithfulness. 1
Corinthians 4:2, Revelation 2:10.
Nehemiah's enemies would make some final efforts to defeat the completion of
the building project in Jerusalem. They did not want the walls rebuilt.
Nehemiah and those who worked with him were faithful until the job was done.
INVITATION EXTENDED Vss. 1-4
Sanbalat, Tobiah, Geshem and others tried to distract Nehemiah by trying to
get him to leave the work and meet with them. Nehemiah realized that they
meant to cause harm. His answer is classic and one we can give to those who
would divert our attention from God's assigned tasks. He said, "I am doing a
great work, so that I cannot come down." (Vs. 3)
SLANDER THREATENED Vss. 5-9
They were still trying to get Nehemiah to meet with them. They spoke of a
rumor that would go to the king, and cause the king to think Nehemiah and
Jerusalem were rebelling. They were trying to frighten the people, but
Nehemiah relied on the Lord for strength.
FEAR ENCOURAGED Vss. 10-14
Shemaiah was hired to cause Nehemiah to hide himself in fear.
Nehemiah stood firm, trusting God, and also perceived that God had not sent
him. Still other prophets (probably false) tried to put Nehemiah in fear.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Vss. 15-16
Because of the faithfulness of Nehemiah and others the walls were completed
in record time. Nehemiah's enemies realized that God had helped him and the Israelites.

1 Kings 18:41-46
FAITH AT WORK
As I write this outline I am soaring in a jet plane about 30,000 feet in the air. To get from Suriname, South America to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Dottie and I will take four flights. Today we will put faith to work trusting four pilots and copilots, four flight crews, three airplanes and many air traffic controllers.
Daily we are to put our faith in God to work. We should be filled with the Spirit by faith. We should study God's Word by faith. We should witness and stand for righteousness by faith. One of our primary works of faith should be in prayer. Elijah put his faith to work by praying. We should do the same.
THE OUTLOOK OF FAITH - Vs. 41
Elijah saw the answer coming even before there was a single sign of rain. He was confident that God would hear and answer his prayers.
THE OBSTINACY OF FAITH - Vss. 42-44
Elijah stubbornly believed that God would answer his prayer. He stubbornly waited, looking for God's answer. He stubbornly prayed until God answered. James 5:16-18, Luke 11:5-13
THE OUTCOME OF FAITH - Vss. 45-46
God answered Elijah's prayer of faith. Mark 11:22-26
In we learn to work in prayer by faith we will see tremendous results and will become virtually unstoppable.
