Transitioning from cupbearer to Governor Nehemiah 2 1-10

Hallelujah, I think we can do better isn't it?

Hallelujah that's good. So we are studying the book of

Nehemiah. We ended the 1st chapter ended

with I was cup bearer to the king.

I described in my last message, who is a cup bearer is a is a

most trusted position because King's life is in the hand of

cup bearer. If somebody wants to poison him,

put some poison into the drink and it can kill the king, kill

the king. So before the king drinks, he

has to drink it in front of the king and then pass the cup to

him. So it's a very responsible

position. And basically you see in this

chapter 2, what's happening here in chapter 2 is in the month of

Nissan, in the 20th year of King Artax exists.

When wine was brought for him, I took the wine and gave it to the

king. Where did the whole story start?

In the month of Kislev? That's in chapter 1, verse one

in the month of Kislev in the 20th year where I was in the

Siddle of Zusa between Kislev and a Nissan, you got three to

four months time. So we see that after he heard

the report that walls have been broken down, gets burned down,

temple is torn down. So all the news he hears, he sat

down and wept and prayed and prayed, weeping and praying,

weeping and praying. And as he was doing it, he

gathered some people around and they started joining him and it

became a movement of prayer. So you see by the end of the

chapter 1 he says verse 11. Oh Lord, let your ear be

attended to the prayer of this your servant that is referring

to Nehemiah himself and to the prayer of your servants who

delight in the in revereing your name, your servants referring to

others who are joined him in prayer.

It became a movement of prayer. Everybody say movement of

prayer. You heard Haley mentioned about

prayer 21 days of prayer. This is very much in our heart

that we should become a praying people.

Why you look into the real life of Nehemiah, There's no

revelation. There are no angels visiting

him. There are no dreams, divine

dreams. But he fulfilled something in

his life. He was playing a very key role

in fulfillment of prophecies and Nehemiah, I would say represents

every New Testament Christian. Sometimes you may say you may

not have any dreams or visions or supernatural experiences, but

still you can fulfill the plan of God.

You can, you can fulfill very key things to happen for the

church, in the church through your life if you begin to pray.

So prayer is the key. Prayer is the key for revival.

So for the walls to be rebuilt, I told you the walls are very

important. Why?

It brings disgrace. If you live in Jerusalem and the

walls are torn down, the enemies will taunt you and say, hey,

you're living in a city that has got no walls.

There's no safety for you guys and it is not something to be

proud about and it is not something they can gloat about.

Also, they cannot talk about it. So it is, it is shame, basically

shame, sense of shame. You know, the sense of shame is

there in so many things. When somebody cannot have

children, it becomes a part of sense of shame.

In the Old Testament times, not now anymore in the New

Testament, but in the Old Testament, Hannah was not able

to have children. It is a sense of shame for her.

And you look at the Abraham say I was not able to have children.

It was a disgrace for her. Elizabeth in the New Testament

is a disgrace. But I tell you, all these things

they have overcome in every situation of shame and rejection

they have overcome by prayer. Any other means they have

overcome. No, we all know about prayer,

but we don't pray. I tell you, there was a time in

my life I used to be preaching the Word of God.

I even speak in a prayer conference or prayer meeting on

prayer. But in my personal life, I have

not prayed. It's not something to be proud

about. But my life changed when I began

to pray. That is what I'm hinting at.

If we want things to change, we must begin to pray.

So now he has got how much time to pray?

Three to four months of prayer and it has become a movement of

prayer and people are gathering around him every evening, day

and night. He says day and night he was

crying and praying, weeping and praying day and night, three to

four months. And that showed up in his face

when he stood before the king with the cup and he handed over

the cup to the king. And king says why does your face

look sad? Why does your face look sad?

What does this exact words he uses?

Why does your face look so sad when you are not I'll You are

not physically sick but why is your face looking so sad?

That one sentence of the king can mean death to Nehemiah in

one second. They don't play, kings don't

play. He just lifts his finger.

There will be people, others who will come and put the thing on

his face like what they did to Heman.

Heman, the king, said, do you molest the queen in my presence?

That's all he said. And eunuch came and put the

black thing on his covering, on his face, and took him away and

hanged him on the gallows. So if you are found sad in the

presence of the king, that cannot be anything other than

sadness of heart. That means you must be

conspiring against the king. And who knows if there is poison

in the cup? That's why your face is

different. So when he said it, what

happened to Nehemiah, he said I was very much afraid.

I was very much afraid. This is a natural reaction to

the situation there. And that can just simply his

life will end in one second. It doesn't take long.

So he was afraid to hear those words from the king.

So he says, may the king live forever.

Why should my face not look sad when the city where my father's

have buried lies in ruins and his gates have been destroyed by

fire? So king asks a question, Why is

your face sad? You are not sick.

Why? Why is your face sad?

And in response, he is asking one more question.

Is that how you talk to a king? He asks you a question.

Why is your face sad? Oh, how can I not be sad?

My city, where my father's are buried, is in ruins, gets burned

down. So he is asking another

question. This is a rhetoric way of

answering, eliciting sympathy. He was trying to appeal to the

sympathy of the king. Hey, my king.

Long, Long live the king. May nobody ever do anything harm

to you. I've got nothing of the sort.

I wish the best of your interests.

But the sadness of my heart is because the ancestors, where

they are buried is the gates are walls have been turned on.

The gates have been burned down. Can I not be sad?

Should I not be sad? Or if you were there, we need

not be sad. So he has the wisdom to answer a

question with another question, eliciting sympathy from the

King. You know what?

He prepared himself for this moment, praying day and night,

weeping and praying. He must imagine every situation

in his mind. I go into the presence of the

King, and if my my sadness shows up in my face and he asked me

this question, what am I going to say?

Or if you ask me some other question, how am I going to

answer? He must have rehearsed different

situations in his mind hundreds of times.

Every time he was praying. Oh my God, I need your favor.

Give me favor in the sight of this man.

He is prays in chapter 1. Give me favor in the sight of

this man. Why that favour is going to

change the situation. That favour is going to change

the situation. So here we see the king said to

me, what is it you want? So the moment he, the king says,

what is it you want? You know, most of the times in

the in the Old Testament, you see kings always asked, what do

you want? Up to half my Kingdom.

Because if they don't, they don't want to give more than

half the Kingdom. They want to give half of the

Kingdom. That's what you see so many

times. Queen Esther goes, what do you

want? Up to half my Kingdom.

Is he going to give half of the Kingdom?

Is she going to ask for it? No, that's just a gesture of

generosity. And kings always have behaved

with generosity. But this fear in the heart of

Nehemiah to go and ask about it. But he can be a professionally a

cup bearer having a high trusted position and he has access to

handing over the drink, the wine and he he will be trusted with

many other things as well. You know, you go to a Barber, he

does a lot of little talk. He may begin from the big

beautiful bill and he may talk about so many other things, but

they do the little talk. Same way he doesn't care whether

you are a professor, whether you are a plumber, the Barber

doesn't care, but he gets into the talk.

Same way you have access to the king and you do talk.

And sometimes kings can talk what is close to their heart

with the cup bearer and cup bearer.

Cup bearer must have intelligence enough to have a

meaningful conversation with the king.

Its not a simple job, that's what I'm trying to say.

It's not a simple job. A cup bearer, take the cup, give

to the king. It doesn't require any great

intelligence, but because of the sensitiveness of the position,

the cup bearer has to be intelligent enough, trustworthy,

sincere and he overseas from the time the grapes are planted,

Grapevine is planted until the harvest and the wine is made.

He he is responsible for his purity, he is responsible for

its quality and is responsible for making sure that is given in

the purest form to the king to make him happy.

He is a responsible position. So because of that, now King

could say what is it you want? But you know when he says what

is it you want? Up to half of his Kingdom,

whatever it is, I'm just joking, but he is disposed to grant

whatever he's going to ask. Just think about Christians, you

are going to the King of Kings, Lord of Lords.

We have boldness to enter into the very presence of God prone

room of God. You know that's a great

privilege. Its a great privilege for a

Christian to go and pray in the presence of King of Kings, Lord

of Lords. And so many times we are not

having the reverence that we need to have in the presence of

God. This man is in the presence of

another man, but he has reverence, he has fear, and he

is able to address him as Long live king.

And then he says, why should I not be sad?

This is the happening. And then now king says, OK, what

do you want? If a king, a human king can

connect with a cup bear and say, what do you want?

And when you go in prayer, will the king of kings, Lord of Lords

create of the whole universe? And he will he not say what do

you want? Will he say it or not?

Can I hear something little bit louder?

What do you want? You need to know in order to

when that question comes, you need to know and that answer

comes from prayer. That answer comes from prayer.

He prayed for 3-4 months long and he rehearsed every situation

and when the King asked what do you want, immediately He gives

us the list of things that he wants in prayer.

There are different ways of praying and in particular there

is a book called 4th Dimension, if you ever have heard about it,

written by a David Yangicho. And in that he says when you go

to God and you ask for, let's say a pulpit, you want, you tell

him what exactly you want. You want it in blue color, you

want it so much of length, so much of breadth, so much of

height. He says that is how you imagine

and look into the situation and say what exactly you want, ask

God specifically and that is how God gives.

I mean fully 100% with that theory, I am, I may not be, but

just one of the ways you pray and I tell you, I encourage you

to sit down and think what do you want God to do for you?

And that answer that you give to God, what do you want when you

ask is going to depend on what is going to happen in your life,

rest of your life. Your life is going to change

based on what answer to God. You should know what to ask and

you will know it only through prayer.

What to ask will come only through prayer.

So here he prayed to the God of heaven.

Then I prayed to the God of heaven and I answered the king,

How much time you think Nehemiah had to pray to the God of

Heaven? Suppose he closed his eyes with

the king said, what do you want? He closed his eyes, let me think

his head will be gone, head will be gone next second, take him

out. He's contemplating something bad

about me. King will think so.

He had fraction of a second because he prayed for three to

four months. That prepared him to have that

one second prayer. Lord, be with me now and

immediately He says this is what I want.

The long prayer prepares you for short times of prayer.

It is not the other way around. You cannot say somebody good

morning God in the morning. Good afternoon.

I hope you had a good, good day so far.

Good evening. I suppose you really had a

fantastic day. Is that how you pray to God?

I know some guys they say, oh, I pray three times, what do you

pray? I just say I pray for my

business, I pray for this, I pray for that.

I said you are not praying when you put your heart into prayer.

You will sweat out when you are groaning in the presence of God.

You will not be the same when you get up because something of

God will be rubbed on you. Your heart will carry the burden

of Gods heart. Your mind will be enlightened by

the consents of God and you will have a purpose and you will have

a power to do what you want to do.

Because you have spent the powerful time in the presence of

God, you cannot pray and be the same.

You cannot be, you cannot be praying and be the same because

prayer is supposed to change you, not God.

Because God is changed us. If he changes, he is not God.

Sometimes you will see in the scripture God repented change

his mind when he created man, when they became sinful and he

set the flood and finished the whole race except that Noah and

his family. Did God really change his mind?

Did he really repent about making the man?

It is called anthropomorphism. In theology you attribute human

qualities to God to understand and explain things.

Its not that he needed a change, not that he repented.

He had all things planned beforehand.

He is the lamb that is laid before the foundation of the

world. He made the answer before you

have a problem. So he prayed to the God of

heaven, and I answered the king. If it pleases the king, and if a

servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the

city. In Judah everybody says send me.

When you want answer to God, When you want answer from God,

you must be willing to be involved in the answer.

If you don't want to be part of Gods plan, if you don't want

Gods part of Gods answer. What are you praying about

South? What am I saying here is if we

begin to pray, revival will come.

This is the time God wants to bless the whole world.

What are we doing as Christians? Since 3 weeks I am shouting and

asking. I want to see people who will

volunteer to come for one hour of prayer.

One hour you may say no, no, I want to be in my home.

I want to do it. I will join you on the what is

Zoom meeting. I don't believe in it.

I'm telling you honestly before you, I don't believe in Zoom

meeting. They will start the meeting,

turn off the camera and go in the kitchen and do their job.

So if you care for God, I want you to come physically for one

hour. If it is 7 to 8, seven to 87, it

will start, 8, it will end. That's all.

No preaching, nothing. You will come there and pray for

one hour. Pour out your heart.

Pour out your heart because God, we need the revival of the

church, we need revival of the city.

That's what you're going to pray.

We want God to move. Put his finger in your own life,

in your own family, in your own children.

Though things are going to change after the 21 days of

prayer, things cannot be the same.

Why? You have come to the King of

Kings who answer you, and he says, what do you want?

And if you know what you want, you will get it.

If you don't know what you want, you will not get it.

Simple. It's very simple.

You should know what you want. So what do you want?

And he says, send me to the city in Judah where my father's are

buried, so that I can rebuild it.

Send me. That's the first thing he says.

And second thing is then the king with the queen sitting

beside him, you know, this is very important thing.

This is not a public banquet where king is available, all his

officials are available. In that situation, queen will

not be present. This is a private event where

the king is sitting with the queen and he's in a good mood

now. And he asked him what do you

want? And he said what do you want?

Send me. And then he, he with the queen

beside him, he asks the next question.

What is the question He asks him?

How long will your journey take and when will you get back?

How long will it take for you to go and come back?

That simply when he said those words, when he asked that

question, Nehemiah is intelligent enough to understand

that the king is disposed to give the grant the request that

he is going to ask. So next words he says it pleases

the king to send me, so I set a time.

He doesn't tell you how long he set a time.

Did he say next year I will come back?

Maybe because it used to take three to four months to travel

and you do the job, you have to come back another three to four

months to travel. So he must have said one year

probably, and king must have said OK, go.

But in the book of Nehemiah itself, we don't have a record

as to when he went back until you read in the chapter 5

somewhere. He visited Suisa, the capital,

after 12 years. Did he tell the king I am going

away for 12 years? I don't think so.

But it doesn't necessarily mean again that he never went back in

between. He could have after the 52 days

the walls were reconstructed. Then he would have said, OK,

let's put let's make sure the government is going well, that

the enemies of Judah, enemies of Israelites are all in the right

place and he must have staying in the position and they put the

administration in the right direction.

He see was just running it right and he must have said OK.

Then he called his own brother Hanani, who brought the news and

made it the governor in his place.

And then he shoots back to capital of Sousa 3 months again

on foot or courses or donkey or whatever.

And he goes back and comes back, goes and comes in between.

But it's not recorded for us because it is not possible for

him to be absent for 12 long years and still retain his

position. So he must have made short

trips, go there, serve the king for season 3 months, six months,

give the cup again, say OK its time for me to go back again.

Let me go and see what what is happening there.

So for 12 years he was there as a governor and he goes back to

capital of Susa. So he says verse 7 onwards.

I also said to him, if it pleases the king, may I have

letters to the governors of Trans Euphrates so they will

provide me safe conduct until I arrive in Judah.

Now he wants letters of recommendation or authority

letters. So he is having authority in his

hand, and what is what else he wants?

May I have letter to Asaf, keeper of the Kings Forest, so

that I will. So he will give me timber to

make beams for the gates of the citadel, but the temple and for

the city walls and for the residents I will occupy.

He wants to build his house, he needs timber.

He wants to build the temple, he needs timber.

He wants to set up the gates, he needs a timber.

He is asking for enough timber that he will need from the from

Asif who is in charge of Kings Forest.

So Nehemiah has done a lot of groundwork, lot of research.

Who is the in charge there of the forest?

He founded the name Asif. Oh, I need a letter to Asif.

In between you cross through so many, so many different satraps

and everywhere there will be a governor and they can stop this

guy and say, hey, where are you going?

Here is the letter. I have it from the king to go to

Judah to Jerusalem. You can't stop me.

Not only that, he had with him cavalry to support him.

You see there. And because of the gracious hand

of my God was upon me, the king granted me requests, plural, not

one many requests. He got her everything.

And then so I went to the governors of transportation and

gave them the kings letters. The king had also sent army

officers and cavalry with me. You not only travel, but it is

safety. You need protection.

So he has asked for cavalry and army officers to go with him to

Judah. A long journey.

You know there are different styles of leadership.

Nehemiah is a leader, he is a born a leader and here from

being a cup bearer he is transitioning to become a

governor. How can you dare if you if you

if you met Nehemiah and he talked his plans.

I want to ask king and I want to go as a governor to You are a

cup bearer and you want to become a governor.

Tomorrow you will open your mouth and be surprised, But I

tell you, when your heart is filled with God's purpose, when

your heart is filled with the with the plan of God, purposes

of God, your heart will be so stirred up that nothing will

look too unachievable for you from cup bearer.

You will become a governor overnight.

And the Word of God says God has made each believer a royal

priesthood, holy nation. Gods own people.

You are a priest and you are a king.

That's what you are. You are a priest and a king and

you are approaching the throne of grace boldly.

And you should know what to ask. And I tell you what, prayer is

not something you do occasionally.

Oh, I prayed last six months ago.

I prayed 6 months ago. What were you doing all other

days? Is not something that you do

occasionally. No, it is something like

breathing. You cannot exist without

breathing. Try it for the next one minute.

Hold your breath. You will fall off your chair.

But I'm telling you, as breathing is so important for

existence, so is the prayer. Life is important for a

Christian. You need to be praying, you need

to be praying, you need to be praying in order to survive as a

successful Christian. The one who can put the limits

to the devil and say, hey, you cannot come beyond this line.

And if you want to do that and walk in authority, which Jesus

has already given before you were born, before you were asked

for the authority, Jesus already gave you power of attorney,

power of attorney. You know what it is?

Once you get a power of attorney, like if I have

property, I can give power of attorney to somebody and they

can sell the property in my name.

They can do whatever like they like with the property that I, I

make them, I give them power of attorney.

And God has given you the power of attorney.

Jesus has given you power of attorney.

When Jesus said, he who believes in me will do what I have done,

and greater works than this shall He do.

He has given you authority already before you ask, before

it entered your mind. He has given you authority and

He has given you safety. He said, behold, I give you

authority to trade up on snakes, scorpion, all the power, the

enemy, nothing by any means will harm you.

That's what Nehemiah asked for, safety, protection and

authority. And Jesus is giving you safety,

protection, authority. And he's given you the Holy

Spirit to be your guide, to go before you, to show you the way,

to give you strength in the times of weakness, to give you

wisdom when you're not knowing what to ask for, what to do.

He is there with you, in you. I tell you how much I got fired

last night. I can't tell you.

There's still time. That's good.

So now how was how was Nehemiah fulfilling the prophetic time

timeline 95 years before Nehemiah stood in the presence

of the king and asked for permission.

Daniel had told can we put the scripture up please Daniel

chapter 924 to 27, 70 weeks, 70 sevens are decreed for your

people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an

end to sin, to attend for wickedness, to bring in

everlasting righteousness, to seal a vision and prophecy, and

to anoint the most holy place. No one understand this.

From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem

until the anointed 1 the ruler comes, there will be 7 sevens

and 62 sevens. It will be rebuilt with streets

and trench. But in times of trouble after

the 62 sevens the anointed 1 will come.

This is spoken by Daniel 95 years before Nehemiah went and

asked for permission to rebuild the walls.

What does it say here in the? No one understand this from the

time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem

until the anointed one. The timeline begins to tick from

the time the decree goes out to rebuild Jerusalem, to rebuild

Jerusalem. If you look into the history

three other times the Persian kings have issued A decree.

The Cyrus said go back, he sent the people back to Jerusalem,

first people to return and two other times, but no one time it

is mentioned to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

This is the time. So the timeline begins from

here. This happened in the month of

March 5th I think 444 BC and he was in the Press of the King and

asked for permission to go and rebuild the walls.

And the timeline of Daniels prophecy began to tick from that

day onwards. Because when he put down the

number of years it will come to AD 33.

That is the day Jesus entered into Jerusalem on a humble

donkey, colt of a donkey, and he appeared to the Jewish people or

the nation of Israel as the Messiah, and then he was

specified after three days exactly fulfillment of the

prophecy of Daniel. What is the role of Nehemiah?

A simple guy, a cupbearer. He went and asked king for

permission to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

Did he have a revelation? Did the Angel appear to him?

Did you have a dream? What made Nehemiah to kick start

the prophetic events in his life?

Just because he was concerned for Jerusalem, its wars that

have been broken down and the gates that have been burned

down. His heart was aching, he was

weeping and praying and he wanted to do the right thing

because of the knowledge that he had.

And he goes to the king and asked for the permission.

And when the King says OK, go, what Daniel decreed 95 years ago

began to happen. Jesus is coming back soon.

He is coming back very soon. And my question is, what do you

want to do like Nehemiah did? What should you be doing like

Nehemiah did? You though you don't have a

prophecy, you don't have a revelation, you don't have a

word. Nothing is happening

supernaturally. But what you can do is pray like

Nehemiah did, so that you will become that answer to Gods plan

in the end times. That's why we are saying,

brothers and sisters, we need to begin to pray and I'll give you

a few instances of how prayer changed things and then we will

close. There was a Moravian revival in

the year 1727 in Germany. Count Zinsen Dorf prayed

together with bunch of people 24 by 7.

Prayer chain began and lasted over 100 years.

What started as a small prayer meeting lasted for how long?

100 years. And a modern missionary movement

was born through Zinandar prayers.

And one of them that was influenced by Count Zinandar is

John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Church.

So when you begin to pray, you must say what is there in for

me? What is my benefit?

God will bless you, God will bless you, your children, your

family, your business. He will bless you, your health,

He will bless you. It is just a natural thing to

happen when you come into the presence of God.

Everything that belongs to will be touched by God.

Take my word after 21 days, if you have don't have a testimony,

come and tell me. There will be a testimony.

Everybody will have a testimony. Why?

Because you have gone into the presence of the King of Kings,

Lord of Lords, and you have asked and he says, what do you

want? He's saying, what do you want?

1790 to 1718 forty in the in the in the United States and Great

Britain, John Eskind called for united prayer.

And as the prayer started, there's one man was touched by

the prayer movement, Jonathan Edwards.

And through Jonathan Edwards, God brought a mighty revival in

America, mighty revival. He was a man whose vision was

very, very poor. Imagine his picks and you coming

a horn coming out of the sticks, the glass.

And he had a candlelight on the pulpit, and he wrote a message

on the paper, and he came and read it with great difficulty

under the candlelight. He was reading the message.

Sinners in the hands of angry God.

And the people were so convicted of their sin.

They were holding the walls and the pillars and say, Fall on us,

fall on us. We cannot face the King of the

kings, Lord of Lords, his holy presence.

And they repented, and the revival was born.

People were saved that night. Prayer breeds revival.

Prayer beats revival. Then in the year 1857 to 1859 in

New York, America, there was a man called Jeremiah Lanfear.

He was a businessman, not a not a pastor.

He was not a priest, He's not a pastor.

And he was just a businessman. And he started called for prayer

in the afternoon, maybe at work. He said, OK, let's all gather

the lunchtime and let's pray. And that became a moment of

prayer all over. It happened in Manhattan.

It spread across America. And then after the things were

going on for some time, 1,000,000 people were converted

in America because one simple man, a businessman, said, let us

pray in the afternoon. Let us pray in the afternoon.

One more. You were thinking, oh, when is

he going to finish? One more.

This is happening in Scotland. Hebrides revival, 1949 to 1952,

Scottish Hebrides Islands. Two women, Peggy and Christine

Smith, they prayed for revival. Just two women.

They started praying for revival and churches were filled at all

times. Every church you go, morning

8:00 people are there. 6:00 people are there.

Night 10:00 people are there. Why?

Because two women are praying for revival.

The whole country is filled with people in every church is full

of people. Because two women started

praying for revival and people are convicted of sin.

People are repenting and being born again.

The question is, do you want to be a Nehemiah and say, Lord, we

are in the end times. We need a reviver.

We need the reviver. We need your visitation.

We are here, my Lord, we are here.

We want to commit others to pray for one hour, and if you only do

this for 21 days, I believe you'll get hooked to it after 21

days to keep praying. That thing that you start now is

not going to end in your own life.

It is not going to end. Are you prophesying?

Yes, I am prophesying. It is not going to end in your

life. That prayer is going to change

you, your family, your children, your business, your finances.

It is going to change the city you are living in.

It is going to change the church you are part of.

It is going to change everything because you are coming into the

King of Kings and asking for what you want to ask.

And he is asking what do you want?

And you should know what to ask. Are you prepared, are you

prepared for this revival to come to the city of

Christchurch? And if you, if you say yes, then

we are going to have a great time of 21 days of prayer.

It is very hard. I'm telling you, you will skip

in between. Don't worry about it.

Just come. If you can come, it will be

great. Don't worry about the petrol,

don't worry about driving. Just come because you are going

to see God move powerfully in your life in this church, in

this city. And that's why we need this 21

days of prayer. I only wish that the Lord will

put that burden so permanently that we will not stop until we

see the revival, until we see the revival.

So just by obedient, just being obedient to God and become a man

and a woman of prayer, you are going to partner with the plan

of God, purpose of God for these end times.

And if you agree with me, shout at Amen.

Let us pray. Thank you, Jesus, we thank you

for your word. Thank you for challenging us

through the life of Nehemiah. Oh, my father, he was just a

cupbearer, but he was a daring to believe to become a governor

and he was daring to believe to bring change to the city of

Jerusalem was to be rebuilt, temple to be reconstructed,

degree to be restored. My Lord, my God, I pray now,

Father, that the Church. The say the church in this

modern days is like that fallen down Jerusalem.

Walls are broken down, gates are borne down and the church is

still sleeping in the name of Jesus Christ of another, I pray

that you'll put that hand, nail Pierce hand on the heart of your

children. Now touch them, wake them up.

I pray, Father, jolt them, shake them until your children will

get up on their knees and say my God and cry out to you and see

the power far from heaven and you want to commit yourself to

prayer. The 21 days coming 21 days.

I just want you to stand where you are and I'm going to, I want

to pray for you. There is a cost, there is a

cost. There is a cost.

When you pay the cost, it is not going to go waste.

It is not going to go waste because this is what you are

sowing and you are going to reap. 100% guarantee return.

100% guarantee return. It is not going to be waste.

Thank you Jesus, as your children are responding, I pray

that this prayer movement will be born to the glory of your

name. Sabarana mande Kara sectares

The Lord says I am going to remove sickness from between

you. After this time of prayer, I am

going to say no more delay, no more, no more, no more delay of

the things that you've been wanting things to happen.

There will not be any more delay.

It is going to be different, says The Lord Is going to be

different. I am going to put my finger on

everyone of you who is going to pray and I am going to change

you and you will become a governor, not a cupbearer

anymore. We worship you, we praise you,

Lord, thank you for this. Thank you for this, O Lord, your

word, and thank you for the presence of the Holy Spirit who

convicts us and who catapults us into that space where we will

become mighty warriors in faith to the glory of your name.

You're coming very soon and help us to become the right kind of a

church to the glory of your name.

In Jesus name we have asked and everybody says Amen.
