Come Build The New Nation
"Then I said to them, You see the bad situation we are in–how Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates are burned with fire. Come, let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a disgrace. Then I told them of the hand of my God which was upon me for good, and also the words that the king had spoken to me. And they said, Let us rise up and build! So they strengthened their hands for the good work."
Nehemiah 2:17-18 AMPC
I have always been fascinated by the story of Nehemaiah and the miracle God wrought in our lives several years ago. I have always been into alternative technologies and my discussions with Architect Benjamin Yisa and Stephen Makama as we prepared to build CLAPAI place The Rehoboth center Zarazong. We molded 10,000 blocks and we set a plan in motion to build. Mai Anguwar as my late father and his prayer partners would readily say of Satan showed up. We worked with the community folk and we're given a mason. He was the worst type of crook you could find at a construction site. We would buy seven bags of cement yet the work was not moving as we anticipated then the rains began to threaten. A goodly neighbour informed us to spend a day at the site and observe. Three bags were used and we noted that he had been selling four bags to the person we buy cement from. We came back with only four bags the next day and again only three bags were used. He began acting up and we let him go. Four young men would finish that building and build our present L shaped class structures. We prayed like crazy as rain fell. It took us fifty something days to finish the mud building and roof it as well as build the class rooms. That mud building reminds us of God's faithfulness as anything we had not laid up on the building was completely lost as rains washed off our blocks. That loss was hard to take as young missionaries but then God showed up.
Like Nehemiah with barely a ninety day window we were able to build and begin the secondary arm. Our children and ourselves floored the classrooms and the mud building which acted as the dorm for our children. To this day we see the power of the passage today in Nehemaiah. Then I said to them, You see the bad situation we are in–how Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates are burned with fire. Come, let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a disgrace. Then I told them of the hand of my God which was upon me for good, and also the words that the king had spoken to me. And they said, Let us rise up and build! So they strengthened their hands for the good work."
As we step into April I questioned why God asked we stand still and watch His redemption and it hit me, there is a rebuilding that is taking place. The new nation we all crave but do not have the self discipline to actualize is being done by God Himself. The month of April is a month of newness and rebuilding of sound structures in this nation and across nations. Attempts to crumble the world systems will meet with heavy resistance and fail. A truly new Russian state is emerging it will struggle at first but then settle as it continues to attempt to sway movement of world governing systems with her twin China. Ah but unless we put the sickle we can't get a harvest of the newness. April is a time of building the broken breaches and all falsehood and charades of old collapse in the month of April. Judges for fear of their lives and that of their families would promptly report bribery attempts and many will lose their benefits for their involvement in the great heist and rape of a nation. Integrity is the watch word in April. A lack of that could cost you your life in fact. Death throes will be very close but peace will overtake it promptly.
May I welcome you into the month of April where we build the wall of peace and unity as well as the gates of equity and fair play. Welcome to the new way of doing things we're leaders are out to protect the citizenry and not their pockets. A new dawn is here. It is in the crushing and pressing that the new wine is made and the breaking of new grounds happens. Lord make us vessels you want us to be. Jesus bring new wine out of us as a people in Jesu name Amen!"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are blameless toward Him. You have done foolishly in this; therefore, from now on you shall have wars." 2 Chronicles 16:9 AMPC. Our collective failure would lead to war and God forbid such in Jesus name as we remain obedient to the Holy writ! Amen and Amen! Welcome to April! Shalom
