ANYTIME YOU SET OUT TO DO A work for the Lord, the enemy will come against you like a flood that seeks to destroy everything in its path. Nehemiah set out to rebuild the city wall and in the midst of his building the enemy mocked him, accused him, threatened him- all to get Israel to come off the wall and stop building.

My friend, opposition will come when you are working for the Lord. The enemy only seeks to kill, steal and destroy. His name is, “Accuser of the brethren”. In the midst of your building, attacks will come! The enemy will attack your motives, methods, doctrine, leadership; or anything else that will get you to stop building. He uses fear tactics, ridicule, and discouragement to draw away the fearful and faithless off that wall. But God is not concerned.

If God called you to it, He will sustain it. Stand your ground. God’s work will prevail. Every evil word formed against you, God will condemn. Prepare your heart to overcome the enemy by prayer and determination to finish your race well. Have faith in God’s ability and trust Him to strengthen you to build. Shut your ears to the lies and get to work. Fear God, not man. “So shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.” Isaiah‬ ‭59:19‬ ‭ #runyourrace
