Listen to the Message
Nehemiah 6:15-16
Determination mays a difference!
“Am I willing to live my life for Jesus Christ, regardless of the cost, regardless of what obstacles may come at me and regardless of the opposition that I am sure to face?”
“...so the wall was finished.”
He kept going regardless of what opposition came at him.
We just don’t stick to things very well today.
I want to talk about the victories!
Determination!
How can I stay determined?
1. I must keep my eye on God!
- The pressures of life can either push you towards God or can pull you away from God!
- Why should I come down when I am doing a great work for God?
- At the end of the day our reward is that hopefully we have attempted to please God and to be more like Jesus Christ.
- He is about Life, Hope, Comfort and Health
- Purpose separates worthwhile determination from the futile.
2. Others will help me and I must help others!
- How inspiring that must have been.
- “If I’m going to fail I’m going to fail while daring greatly.” T. Roosevelt
3. When I am winning, I cannot let down!
- Don’t give up! Don’t give up!
- Progress not perfection.
- If only the will to walk is there - God is pleased with our stumbles. CS Lewis
- What He is looking for us the will to walk with Him.
