Fw: Great Leaders Live Their Faith

Team:

In Today's Playbook we see the results of Great Leadership. Nehemiah Led the nation to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. He partnered up with great 360 Leaders like Zerubbabel. He trusted God to make it happen. Zach 4 says, "not by might nor power but by my Spirit say's the Lord."

Through the process of rebuilding they had to rely on God's Spirit. They delivered the message and trusted God to rally the troops with His Spirit.

They faced opposition and the enemy tried to derail them. However they trusted God and kept the project moving forward.

Great Leaders Keep The Project Moving Forward. Great Leaders Keep Their Deadlines.

"all the people came together as one in the square before the Water Gate. They told Ezra the teacher of the Law to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded for Israel."
Nehemiah 8:1

Jesus said, "blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness."

This is the Result of Great Leadership.

First of all these people came together as one. Nehemiah didn't have to bribe them to come. Nehemiah did such a great job preparing their hearts for this moment that it was a natural reaction.

After they showed up at the Water Gate they listened to Ezra explain God's Word to them out of the Playbook.

The 3 things Ezra emphasized were:

Confession

Forgiveness

Worship

After Ezra read the people were joyful and celebrated their new beginning.

Friends, Today is our new beginning. No matter what has happened in the past God has a great future for us.

When we follow the Leadership of Nehemiah and then emulate his Leadership in our own areas of influence (family, team, business ect...) we will win.
Start Fast...Finish Strong!

Just Go!
