The Lord builds

‎Hi Queen,

‎Good morning, let's get ready for unexpected surprises. It's the honour of this house to have you here.

‎Today we have a Heavenly meal set before us, but before we dine, let's give thanks:

‎Father thank you, we honour you, we are blessed with this meal you have set before us, let it speak into our hearts and give us courage, assurance, wisdom and let us feel your overflowing love, Amen.

‎Let's eat:

‎It's day 4 of my fast, title is, Sunshine.

‎For some years now I've had a need or should I say a situation that broke my heart continuously. I prayed and kept expecting.

‎There were times I just endured and submitted to the process till one day I snapped. I had, had enough.

‎This time when I asked God, I was given permission to begin shifting. To be sure I wasn't just doing my own thing, He gave me confirmation in His word and other signs. Plus He sent helpers.

‎However yesterday, I asked again. This time with a different posture, like Jacob holding the man he wrestled with saying I won't let you go till you bless me (Genesis 32:22-32).

‎Like Hannah, the mother of Samuel the prophet, who prayed fervently to God for a son (1 Samuel chapter 1).

‎And indeed He answered me, He said He would rise on my behalf.

‎During this prayer, I believed God could answer suddenly, I told God I knew He had the power and the ability. I knew He didn't require permission or approval.

‎Still I could hear voices saying in my mind, "who do you think you are?". These voices kept saying things that made me feel so small before God.

‎But I didn't relent. I spoke with all the fire in me, that God is my Father and I am His Daughter. He is my King and I am His Queen and I have every right to ask.

‎I don't need to be silent and endure pain for God knows every tear I have cried. I said I was going to ring Heaven's bell till I see it.

‎Then I realised, He already gave me a word of approval in church and even an hour ago before those voices started. So I decided to rest.

‎Why this long story? Because of the scriptures I'm about to read.

‎They both speak of a man Eliashib the high priest. The beautiful thing is as he focused on His task, God made others build the sections of his house.

‎This is to say, He knows your needs and has people working on it. Soon you will here good news.

‎Nehemiah 3:1(NLT)

‎1 Then Eliashib the high priest and the other priests started to rebuild at the Sheep Gate. They dedicated it and set up its doors, building the wall as far as the Tower of the Hundred, which they dedicated, and the Tower of Hananel.

‎Note:

‎This was when they were rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. And look at what God does a few verses below at another section further from the eyes of Eliashib.

‎Nehemiah 3:20-21(NLT)

‎20 Next to him was Baruch son of Zabbai, who zealously repaired an additional section from the angle to the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest.

‎21 Meremoth son of Uriah and grandson of Hakkoz rebuilt another section of the wall extending from the door of Eliashib’s house to the end of the house.

‎Amen.

‎God will send zealous, kind and joyful people to help build what is yours.

‎Father we love you and receive your love. Let this word take root and bear good fruit, Amen.

‎Are you looking for a friend? I know someone who wants to be your friend, His Name is Jesus and He is my best friend. If you want to become friends, say with me:

‎Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen.

‎God has a surprise for you.

‎Love Beth and Papa.
