It is right and just for God to trouble your troublers.
“It is right and just for God to trouble your troublers and give rest to the troubled, both to you and to us, at the unveiling of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his messengers of power”
2 Thessalonians 1:6-7 (TPT)
“God will do what is right. He will give trouble to those who trouble you.” 2 Thessalonians 1:6 (NCV)
Ask Mordecai, Yes he will testify to what became of Hamman who took it as a full-time job to trouble him(Esther 7)
David also will prove to you that God avenged him of all those who wronged him. (The Philistines, Saul, Absalom, etc.)
Daniel prevailed in the lion’s den.
Paul, the Apostle, will also tell you that indeed there were oppositions, but through God,s mercies, he prevailed.
(2 Corinthians 11:16-33)
No matter what appeared as challenges to you today, you will undoubtedly prevail.
Keep your focus on our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
He did not allow all those that troubled him to stop Him from fulfilling His God-given destiny.
You are also unstoppable in Christ Jesus.

Come and discover for yourselves.
“Then Jesus turned around and saw they were following him and asked, “What do you want?”They responded, “Rabbi (which means, Master Teacher), where are you staying?” Jesus answered, “Come and discover for yourselves.” So they went with him and saw where he was staying, and since it was late in the afternoon, they spent the rest of the day with Jesus.”
John 1:38-39 (TPT)
Jesus told the would-be disciples to come and see.
He invited them to a world of self-discovery.
What have you personally found out about God?
Your relationship with Him should not just be based only on what others have said.
Jesus asked the disciples, “Who do you say I am?”
(Matthew 16:13-20)
The woman with the issue of the blood was told about Jesus, and she decided to have a personal encounter with Him.
Luke 8:43-48 (TPT)
“Jesus responded, “Beloved daughter, your faith in me has released your healing. You may go with my peace.”
She discovered by herself the Healing Power available to cure her.
What are you personally discovering and acting on?
What is your faith based on?
“Join your life with mine. Learn my ways, and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me.
Matthew 11:29 (TPT)
Daily personally learn from God through His Word.
You’ll discover…
Discover for your self your purposeful destiny with God and live it out.

So we built the wall.
“But it so happened, when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, that he was furious and very indignant and mocked the Jews. 2 And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Will they revive the stones from the heaps of rubbish—stones that are burned?”….. So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.” Nehemiah 4:1,6 (NKJV)
So we built the wall…. for the people had a mind to work
At last, the wall was completed…The people had worked with enthusiasm.
So we rebuilt the wall ….for the people worked with all their heart.
We kept at it, repairing and rebuilding the wall.. the people had a heart for the work.
What are you doing?
The building, Repairing, and Strengthening.
Or are you tearing down, separating, scattering, and destroying?
What is your role in the church, fellowship, family, or group that you are?
Are you the rallying point person to build and restore relationships?
Do you use your closeness to the King, Bishop, Pastor, Leader to keep other people away so that its only you that have access?
Repeating dead matters to separate people?
“He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates even close friends.” Proverbs 17:9 (AMPC)
“Love overlooks the mistakes of others, but dwelling on the failures of others devastates friendships.” Proverbs 17:9(TPT)
Nehemiah had the privilege of rebuilding and restoring, and he did it very well.
Ask yourself again today, what are you contributing in your circle of influence?
Jesus Christ came to reconcile and restore.
What are you doing?

Imparted to them authority over every demon and the power to heal every disease.
“Jesus summoned together his twelve apostles and imparted to them authority over every demon and the power to heal every disease.” Luke 9:1 TPT
You have the authority to stop the current raging disease.
Don’t just speculate and analyze
Don’t be carried away with the different video clips
Stand in the gap and intercede for this destructive ailment to stop.
“Moses prayed, and the Lord answered, “Make a snake out of bronze and place it on top of a pole. Anyone who gets bitten can look at the snake and be saved from death.” “Moses obeyed the Lord. And all of those who looked at the bronze snake lived, even though they had been bitten by the poisonous snakes.”
Numbers 21:7-9 CEV
“Then he commissioned them to preach God’s kingdom realm and to heal the sick to demonstrate that the kingdom had arrived…:” Luke 9:2 TPT
Continually and regularly pray and demonstrate that the kingdom of God is here.
Whatsoever name the disease is at the mention of the name of Jesus Christ it must bow
“You see this man, and you know him. He put his faith in the name of Jesus and was made strong. Faith in Jesus made this man completely well while everyone was watching.”Acts 3:16 CEV
Faith in the name of Jesus still heals.

They were turned away… So they went to another village instead
“Jesus passionately determined to leave for Jerusalem and let nothing distract him from fulfilling his mission there, for the time for him to be lifted up was drawing near. So he sent messengers ahead of him as envoys to a village of the Samaritans. But as they approached the village, they were turned away. They would not allow Jesus to enter, for he was on his way to worship in Jerusalem. When the disciples Jacob and John realized what was happening, they came to Jesus and said, “Lord, if you wanted to, you could command fire to fall down from heaven just like Elijah did and destroy all these wicked people.” Jesus rebuked them sharply, saying, “Don’t you realize what comes from your hearts when you say that? For the Son of Man did not come to destroy life, but to bring life to the earth.” So they went to another village instead.” Luke 9:51-56 (TPT)
Jesus determined to get to Jerusalem because His Destiny purposed it.
However, the people in a particular village opposed that move.
Some of the disciples wanted to use their “power” to burn the village.
They “actually wanted to show them!!!”
Jesus rebuked them sharply
What opposition are you facing?
How are you handling it?
What is the motive in your heart that is driving your response?
Are you calling down fire to devour them?
Jesus did not copy what Elijah did as the disples suggested.
“When you turn to the right or turn to the left, you will hear his voice behind you to guide you, saying, “This is the right path; follow.”
Isaiah 30:21(TPT)
Ask God for wisdom on what to do when opposition comes on your path.
Jesus was unstoppable, so are you.
Let God guide you step by step in fulfilling your destiny.

Jesus passionately determined
“Jesus passionately determined to leave for Jerusalem and let nothing distract him from fulfilling his mission there, for the time for him to be lifted up was drawing near. So he sent messengers ahead of him as envoys to a village of the Samaritans. But as they approached the village, they were turned away. They would not allow Jesus to enter, for he was on his way to worship in Jerusalem.”
Luke 9:51-53 (TPT)
Jesus passionately determined to leave for Jerusalem
He made up his mind to go to Jerusalem
He moved steadily, onward toward Jerusalem with an iron will.
How are you looking at your purposeful life?
Jesus knew and understood His purpose in life.
He made up his mind and passionately with resolved determination pursued it.
What are you passionate about in this life?
The Cross.
Yes, the Cross of Christ.
Does it permeate through what you are living for?
Are you here for your self or Him?
“On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff’ring and shame;
And I love that old Cross where the Dearest and Best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged Cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged Cross,
And exchange it someday for a crown….”
George Bennard (1873-1958)
On the last day, will what you are pursuing so vigorously now count to the Cross?
