Title: The Enemy's Plot (7 of 8)
Series: Arise and Build
Author: David Davis
Text: Nehemiah 6:1-19
As we come to the sixth chapter of Nehemiah, we read some of the most important words in the whole book.
Look at verse 15. "So the wall was completed!"
There is extensive talk about revival in many circles today. Every week, we see more and more people "getting in on what God is up to." However, we need to be alerted to the enemy's plot to destroy and discount the work of God in the lives of His people.
When the people of God say, "Let us arise and build," Satan says, "Let us arise and stop them." Satan has a plot to divert us and steer us away from holiness.
I want us to see his plot to thwart real revival.
This leads us to consider-if God sent a real revival-would you be ready for it in your present spiritual condition?
These people were living in conditions unpleasing to God-just like many people today are living the same way.
This is why our churches today aren't seeing souls saved on a weekly basis, and many churches are satisfied just going through the motions of the Christian life each week.
See our text in Nehemiah 6:1-19: "Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;) (2) That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, 'Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono.' But they thought to do me mischief. (3) And I sent messengers unto them, saying, 'I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?' (4) Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner. (5) Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand; (6) Wherein was written, 'It is reported ...
