Overcoming Oppostion

Phil Stedman

Phil walked us through Nehemiah chapter 4 where Nehemiah encounters opposition to rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. Phil extracted 4 lessons that are relevant for us today: 1. When opposition hits where do you look? Nehemiah's default position is to look up to God. What's our default position? 2. Who do you listen to? Surround yourself with people who speak life. Call out the best in people. 3. The art of taking action. We need wisdom for how to act rather than react. 4.Ongoing vigilance - sustained action. Keep guard up and continually pray.
