Wrought of God


Nehemiah 6:16 KJV
And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
One of the greatest needs in our world today is a work that this world perceives to be wrought of God.
Too much is done in the power of the flesh.
Too much credit is given to men, even great men, which should have gone to the Lord.


It is not that Nehemiah and his men had done nothing. On the contrary, their dedication is remarkable. Nehemiah's
Burden
Vision
Organization

All are manifest in the rebuilding of the walls.

The determination
The courage
The insight
Demonstrated by Nehemiah and his company cannot be denied. But when everything was said and done, the thing that cast down the adversary was not what Nehemiah had done but the work that God had wrought.

So I am not asking people to stop working for the Lord.
We need soul winners
We need bus workers
We need Sunday school teachers and
Nursery workers and
Choir singers and
Maintenance and janitorial workers

But along with all of that...we need God to work in such a way that men know the work was wrought by God.
